Ashley re-appeared in the cave, but this time in a large cell. Psycho yellow walked up to the outside of the cell door.

"Perk up, yellow ranger. Psycho red has big plans for you!" She laughed. Psycho yellow pulled out a large key ring, that held 2 keys, and locked the cell door with one of the keys. She then turned and walked a good distance away, she placed the key ring on a little nail that was sticking out the wall. Psycho yellow then turned and walked away. The key was too far to reach for, so Ashley didn't even try for it. Ashley moved to the far corner of the cell, and wrapped her arms around her knees after she pulled them to her chest. She wished someone was there to comfort her… Someone like her mom. She missed her mom.

FLASHBACK:

Ashley was walking home from school. She didn't live far, and she hated taking the bus. Besides, it's a nice day outside, who would want to miss out on this beautiful day? The sun was shining, the weather was nice, people weren't driving crazily up and down the road, it must be a good day today.

That's what Ashley thought.

She made it up the porch to her house. She took her house key out of her pocket and unlocked the door.

She was hoping that the doctor had good news for her mom. Her mom had been having pains in her abdomen, and some pains in her back. It had been going on for awhile, and her mom refused to go to the doctor. Ashley finally convinced her, and the doctor said they would have the test results ready by today.

Ashley took a deep breath and pushed the door open and stepped inside, tossing her book bag aside.

"Mom, Im home!" She called out. Usually her mom would say "In here, honey!" but, this time, there was no answer.

"Mom?" Ashley called out again. She made her way to the kitchen… No one there. She walked in to the Den, no one there either. She walked to the stairs and called "Mom?"

Still no answer. She walked into the living room, and there she was. Her mom was sitting on the couch with her father next to her. They were both crying.

"Mom!" Ashley cried, and she ran and knelt down in front of her mom, making her mom look at her.

"Mom, what's wrong?" Ashley asked as she placed her hands on her mom's knees.

"Well, The test results are back." She whispered as she wiped her eyes and sniffled.

"What did it say??"

"Ashley, I--I have Pancreatic Cancer… The doctor gave me a year…. At the most." Ashley was crying before her mom even finished speaking. She wrapped her arms around her mom's neck and began to sob on her shoulder.

Her mom was dying? Ashley just couldn't believe it.

"There isn't anything they can do?" Ashley asked, her voice quivering.

"No. It has spread to much. I waited too long. I should have listened to you and went the first time you asked me." She sobbed.

"Its okay. You didn't know." Ashley cried. "A year? That's all?"

"Maybe less. They cant tell for sure."

Ashley didn't know what to say, she was speechless.

END FLASHBACK:

A few tears fell down Ashley's cheek as she remembered that day. It has been three and a half years since her mom died. Her mom had been on medication, and the doctors had predicted that she would have had between 8 and 12 months. She only lived five months after being diagnosed.

A couple days before her mom's death, Ashley and her mom got into a big argument.

Ashley was in 9th grade, and her mom was fussing at her because Ashley was going to date a senior at her high school. Ashley became furious, she told her mom that she hated her for trying to control her life. It became a screaming match between the two and Ashley ran out the house and stayed the night with Cassie. When Ashley got home, she didn't speak to her mom. She ignored her completely.

A couple days passed and the two didn't speak to each other. Ashley's mom would try to talk to her, but Ashley would walk right on by. It wasn't until one day at school did Ashley realize that she was being immature, and was ignoring her sick mother over nothing. The boy was a big player anyways. Ashley made up her mind to apologize to her mother that day when she got home. But Ashley got an early dismissal, and she didn't know why. Not until she met her crying father and crying brother in the parking lot of the school.

Her mother had passed away.

Ashley had made a mistake. A big one. She yelled and screamed at her sick mother over a stupid boy, who only wanted one thing from her. She didn't even get to apologize to her mom.

Her mistake drove her crazy.

Ashley squeezed her eyes closed as she began to sing softly the song her father would sing to her at night when she would cry for her mom.

"Cause there's holes in the floor of Heaven,

And her tears are pouring down.

That's how you know she's watching,

Wishing she could be here

An' sometimes if you're lonely,

Just remember she can see.

There's holes in the floor of Heaven

And she's watching over you and me--"

Ashley stopped singing as an idea struck her.

"Telekinesis!" She gasped. Ashley didn't know how the idea came to her, she was just glad that it did. She quickly scrambled to the door of the cell. She glanced to look and make sure that none of the Psychos were standing by before she got onto her knees, held her arm out, and pointed two of her fingers towards the key ring.

She took a deep breath and began to concentrate.

The keys didn't move.

She took another deep breath and tried again.

Still didn't budge.

She relaxed her muscles and began to concentrate even harder. She gasped and opened her eyes when she heard the sound of them moving. She smiled as she saw that she was moving them.

She flinched as the keys fell off the nail and landed on the floor and made a loud jingling noise. She checked to make sure no one was coming, and started to move the keys to where she was.

"Yes!" Ashley whispered as the keys made it to the door. She quietly picked them up and twisted her wrist in a very painful position to unlock her shackles. Once they were unlocked, she reached her arm outside of the cell and unlocked the door. She walked outside of the door and looked down the hallway. There was still no one.

"Alright then, Lets Rocket!" She said, not too loudly in case someone heard her.

She took out her Astro Blaster and began to walk down the hallway, flinching at every noise that was made.

She made it to the end of the hallway, which divided into two more hallways. Which one should she take?

She didn't know until she heard Psycho yellow and Psycho pink's voices coming from the left hallway. The were coming to check on her! Ashley quickly ran down the right hallway.

Psycho pink's voice echoed through the hallway, "She got away! Let's go after her!"

Ashley sped up and ran faster than ever. Soon, she saw a light coming from the end of the hallway. It was an opening, and Ashley was about to take her chance. She made it to the end of the hallway and jumped.

She was doing flips in the air, having trouble stopping herself, until the ground came. Luckily, Her feet had been facing the ground. Once she landed on her feet, she rolled over.

She ignored the pain in her legs as soon as she rolled over and heard Psycho yellow's voice, "She's got to be around here somewhere!"

Ashley didn't waste anytime. She stood up and yelled, "Galaxy Glider, Hang Ten!"

She quickly hopped onto her Galaxy Glider and flew off.

"No!" Psycho yellow called, and Ashley turned and faced her as she flew by.

She waved and then was gone in a flash.

Ashley's heart skipped a beat as she saw the Mega-Ship come into her view.

She would soon be with her friends.

And that was all that mattered to her.
