"Well, It's been fun! I just hate to say goodbye." Rocky said. All of the rangers were in the Bridge. They were getting ready to say Goodbye, so the Turbo rangers could go to the planet of Eltar to help the Phantom Ranger.
"Yeah, now that all of your powers have been restored, you guys should be stronger than ever." Andros said.
"We hope so." Tommy laughed.
"Before you leave, we have something we want to give you." TJ turned as Cassie and Carlos walked in with 5 Astro blasters.
"We want to thank you guys, for trying to help us find Ashley. We don't know what we would have done if you wouldn't have been there to help us. Someone else could have gotten taken, and it wouldn't have ended well." Cassie thanked them. Her and Carlos began handing out Astro Blasters.
"You guys don't have to give us these. Are you sure you guys wont need them?" Tanya asked.
"We're sure. We have plenty, even if we begin to run out, we could make more. Its not that hard." Cassie answered.
"The Phantom Ranger needs you guys, you should get going." Zhane said.
"Thank you guys so much!" Kim smiled.
"You deserved it." Carlos replied. The Turbo rangers and Space rangers then exchanged hugs and handshakes. The Turbo Rangers stepped back and Tommy nodded his head to Andros.
"Alright. Be careful on your journey, guys. It wont be easy." Andros warned.
"And good luck finding Ashley, I'm sure you will." Tommy reassured. Andros nodded his head, and pressed a couple buttons on the console. The Turbo Rangers disappeared in a flash of red, green, blue, pink, and yellow. Kim and Zhane waved each other goodbye, and Zhane didn't miss the glare that Tommy had sent his way. He didn't care. Tommy should know they didn't like each other that way, I mean, He's with Karone, he doesn't want Kim.
Zhane's head snapped up as DECA began to speak.
"Andros, someone is boarding Mega-Deck 1." DECA announced.
"That's not possible. Everybody is here⦠Well except Ash--" Andros didn't finish his sentence. He shared glances with the other rangers, before they all took off towards Mega-Deck 1.
They all stopped in front of the closed doors. Andros took a step forward, and the automatic doors quickly opened. Cassie darted in and looked around. She gasped when she saw a figure standing next to the Jump Tubes with their back to the rangers.
"Ashley!" She cried, and the figure spun around. Cassie took off running, and the Ashley began running too. They met halfway and hugged each other tightly.
"Ashley!? How did you get here? I thought you were captured by the Psycho's?!" TJ asked as he jogged over and took his turn hugging Ashley.
"Yeah! How did you escape?" Carlos asked, as he took his turn.
"Well, the psycho's had me locked in a large cell. And Psycho yellow put the keys to my shackles and the cell door key on a key ring, which she placed on a nail on the wall outside of the cell where I couldn't reach it. Well, I got to thinking and telekinesis was the answer." Ashley smiled.
"Wait. You used telekinesis?" Zhane gasped.
"Yeah. It wasn't easy, but I finally did it. I got the keys off the wall and opened the cell door. I was chased by Psycho yellow and Psycho pink, but I luckily got away on my Galaxy Glider."
"Wow, Ashley. Im just glad you're okay!" Cassie laughed and hugged her friend again. Ashley pulled back and looked over Cassie's shoulder. She then stepped around her.
"Andros? Are you okay?" She began to walk towards him. She stopped in front of him, "Andros?" She called his name again. Before she could blink, Andros wrapped his arms around Ashley's waist and spun her around. Once he put her back on the ground, He hugged her tightly.
"I missed you so much. Im so sorry." He said to her.
She laughed, "Sorry? What are you sorry for, Andros?"
"It was my fault. I shouldn't have let the Psycho's get away."
"Andros, don't be silly. I went out there on my own."
"What about the second time? When they brought you back out?"
"I was locked in a giant tube! You got farther than the rest of the rangers." She laughed again. Andros just sighed and hugged her tighter.
"Ashley, you must be tired. Why don't you go get some rest?" Carlos asked through gritted teeth after a few minutes of watching them hug each other.
"Uh, sure. I am kinda tired." She admitted, as she pulled back, while still in Andros' arms. Andros shot Carlos a look.
"Goodnight guys." Ashley said as she turned to her friends, "Goodnight Andros." She gave his hand a small squeeze and him a small smile before turning and heading towards her room, angry at Carlos.
"What's the matter with you, Carlos? Why do you have to ruin everything?" Andros snapped when Ashley was gone.
"You don't deserve her." Carlos snapped back.
"And you do?!" Andros shot.
"More than you do!"
"She doesn't think so." Andros took a step towards Carlos.
Carlos shrunk backwards, and TJ found it was the right time to step in.
"Guys, cut it out. Carlos, you really need to back off. If Ashley wants Andros, there's nothing you can do about it. Let them be and stop being so immature. Now, its late. Im going to bed, and if you guys have any sense at all, you will do the same." And with that, he walked out. Cassie decided it was time for her to go to bed too. She made sure Carlos saw the glare she sent his way on her way out.
Zhane left to go tell Karone goodnight.
Carlos barely noticed Andros leave. He had a lot to think about. He had to think about what TJ said, how there was nothing he could do about it. And then he thought that he should apologize to Andros. He thought about how stupid he must have looked, too.
Carlos gave a frustrated sigh and walked out of the Mega-Deck 1 and towards his room. He made himself look like a fool in front of everybody. He should be ashamed of himself.
He made a plan that tomorrow he would apologize to Andros, and try to make it up to him. But first he needed sleep.
And lots of it.
