Disclaimer: I don't own the Power Rangers, only the plot.
Summary: AU PRiS; Two rangers are stuck on an icy planet and they can't stand one another. Can they survive the cold or more importantly, each other?
Timeline: Starts between 'Dark Specter's Revenge' and 'Rangers Gone Psycho'. Andros never opened up and never started dating Ashley.
TF Princess; Thanks. Hope you like this chapter.
sayinjinj7; I'll keep it going, as long as I have as great readers as you.
the-power-of-love; Is this soon enough?

Chapter 3
"Ashley?"
"Hmm?" Came Ashley's sleepy reply.
"Don't go to sleep, you might get hypothermia anyway."
"Then what do you suggest I do? I'm bored."
"We could try to have a civil conversation for once." Andros suggested.
"About what?" Ashley asked.
"Well, I've been wondering..."
"What?"
"Why did you fire those torpedoes just before we crashed?"
"Oh, well, I thought the explosion might let Astronema think the ship blew up on impact. She hasn't come looking for us, so I think it worked."
"Smart, I never thought of that."
Ashley laughed.
"That's what Jeff always says."
"Who's Jeff?"
"Jeff is my brother. He's one year older and very protective. He's probably flipping now I'm lost. I really miss his already. What if I don't see him again?"
"You will see him again. We will get out of her, you know."
"Not if we continue like this. I've tried I don't know how many times to fix the heating systems, but I failed every single time."
"I seem to have the same problem with the thrusters."
"You see, we'll never get out of here." Ashley sighed.
"Not if we don't work together, no."
"So, if we work together, we'll get things fixed?"
"It's worth a try. It is keeping us warm right now."
There was a short silence.
"Andros?"
"Yeah?"
"How long will this storm continue?"
"Probably 'til the morning."
"Could you..."
"Could I what?"
"Could you teach me telekinesis until then? It'll keep us both busy and I've wanted to learn it ever since I saw you use it."
"Sure."
So they kept themselves busy for the rest of the night. When morning came Ashley was able to do basic telekinesis, meaning; lifting objects and move them around.
When Ashley's alarm clock showed 06:00, they reluctantly got out of the warm hole they created.
"What other systems need to be fixed?" Andros asked.
"Well, DECA is offline, as are the navigation systems, communications, teleport systems and the external scanners and sensors. Those are the systems we need to get home, next to the thrusters."
"Shall we start on the navigation systems? I think we both had enough of heating and thrusters for a while."
Ashley nodded thankfully and they left the room.
Even working together it took them two days to fix the navigation systems, external scanners and sensors and the teleportation systems. Both nights they shared body heat.
Then they decided to fix the heating systems. It took them two full days, but they were rewarded with warmth and Andros moved back into 'his' guestroom. They were able to sleep with one blanket in their own rooms again, but as precaution, they staid in the guestrooms and kept the other blankets with them.
Soon they would be able to go home without having had anything big happen, or so they thought.
A/N: Hope you liked it. Please review.
