A/N: Okay, I couldn't help it. I usually love the Phantom/Cassie pairing, really I do, but I just got inspired to write this tiny ficlet about Cassie and her feelings for Andros. It's very short, but I think it's good, and it gets across her more serious side. So, read and review please!
Unrequited
When did it start? I can't say I'm totally sure. I mean, it might have been when I first saw him, or it might have been later. Even as I saw his relationship develop with my best friend, I loved him.
He confided in me a few times, but only a few. It seems the rest of the time he was with Ashley. I still remember their first date. I knew I could never have him, not in the way I wanted him. Even though I could've sworn there were sparks between us. Even though I loved him first.
He wasn't pleased when the Phantom Ranger came onto the scene. There really was jealousy there, I swear it. But still, he never said a word. The list of why we could never be together was endless.
I would never betray Ashley. Ever. So now I'll remain silent. I'll crack jokes, like I usually do. I'll be the sometimes-serious, loyal Pink Astro Ranger. I'll pretend to moon over the tall, dark and possibly handsome Phantom Ranger. And I'll suffer in silence, as my heart breaks when I see them together, looking into each other's eyes.
