When Cassie and Kim rematerialized on the Astro Mega Ship, both Karone and Cassie let out a yelp. Kim grinned sheepishly. She looked around and her eyes landed on Karone. She walked directly to her and winced when she grimaced. She picked her up and gave her a huge hug. She knew she surprised the girl but didn't care. Carlos, Zhane, and Andros, TJ, and Ashley who had materialized a minute after the two girls did, looked on confused. She pulled away and looked in her eyes.

"I don't know you, but I know what it's like to almost kill some of your best friends. I don't blame you one bit for what you did. You had no control over what it. Don't let anyone, tell you otherwise and they do, tell me. They will have a very sore ass afterwards." Karone had tears of relief in her eyes and laughed when she said the last part. Kim let Karone go and stepped back. She noticed then that Carlos, Zhane and Karone were looking at her armor.

"Yeah, Yeah, I'm still a ranger. Don't ask how. Now when are we going to get out of here? Woah, what a view." Kim caught site of Earth in one of the windows. She looked out at the planet she had lived on her entire life and smiled. Kim looked down and suddenly realized she should power down.

"Power down." The armor melted away and she was in her shorts and tank top again. She took the duffel from Andros and looked around.

Could one of you take mine to where I'm staying. I want to put this away." That seemed to shake them from there thoughts and Cassie looked up.

You'll be staying in my quarters. Come on, I'll show you where they are and give you the grand tour." Kim smiled and followed Cassie through the door. She giggled when she heard Zhane say,

"This is going to be an interesting adventure."

That Night

"Kim?" Cassie asked the girl in the top bunk. Kim's head popped down, her hair falling around her head. Cassie giggled, Kim joining.

Are you nervous? I am. We have no idea what were going to be facing."

Kim suddenly flipped down. She pulled her hair from her face and sat down on Cassie's bed.

"I am nervous. But I think everything will be all right. No matter what happens, the only thing that matters is that we'll be doing a our job, and that sometimes we have to make sacrifices. I hope your not that nervous." She smiled. Cassie smiled back and Kim climbed back up to her bunk. She was sitting there. She looked into the little red eye that was Deca and said.

"Lights out." She then turned on her side and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning.

Kim and Cassie were sitting in the eating area. Andros was going over everything again and Kim and Cassie were pretending to listen. Finally Kim had had enough.

"Andros, we already know what we have to do. I'm being vividly reminded of my freshman science teacher that used to go on all hour about one certain topic and then yelled at us when only Billy got a good grade. She told us so much we forgot." Andros looked at Carlos, Tj, Ashley, Zhane, Karone, Cassie and Kim as they laughed. We finally gave in and laughed along with them. He looked at the two girls and smiled. He knew they could do it, but he was still nervous.

Kim and Cassie both looked up when Deca announced that they were at the planet. Kim and Cassie both took a deep breath then followed Andros and the others out the door and to the bridge. When they got there, the girls picked up the packs, that Kim had thought to bring and said good bye. Then they pressed there communicators at the same time and teleported away in two flashes of pink light. The others turned to watch the monitor and worry.

They arrived in a dense jungle. Kim and Cassie both took in there surroundings and let out breaths at the same time. Kim took the scanner from her pack and turned around slowly. Abruptly she stopped.

"The cave's this way. I think its a good sign that I also didn't detect any animals. We should get going. We don't know when the sun sets here." Kim looked at Cassie as she nodded. They took off, going through the jungle, trying to keep from getting wet. An hour passed and they were still quiet. Kim decided that she had had enough of the silence.

"So. What's up with you and Tj?" Kim glanced at Cassie. Cassie sighed.

"I honestly have no idea. I mean I like him. But I think he likes someone else. What about you and Jc? That was an intense kiss." Kim sighed. She had been trying to forget about him for at least a while, cause she didn't want to daydream about him.

"We technically haven't even been on a date yet. We were on a picnic just as friends, but we ended up kissing. I think were going to go to dinner when I get back." Cassie sighed. Kim looked at her.

"You really like him huh?" Cassie nodded. Kim smiled.

"You should just tell him you like him. He likes you. I could tell." She snorted.

"It's true. He kept shooting you these worried, scared looks. Girl trust me on this he likes you." Cassie smiled. Then gasped as they walked out of the jungle and onto a cliff. There was a wooden bridge stretching across the canyon to another cliff. She could see the opening of a cave. Kim looked at the scanner. That was the cave. She looked at Cassie.

"We have to cross it. That's the cave." She noticed Cassie was trembling slightly.

"Your afraid of heights aren't you?" Cassie nodded. Kim sighed. She pulled her to the wooden bridge and put her on the first board.

"you go first. I'll be right behind you I promise." Cassie took a deep breath and nodded. Kim suddenly remembered something.

"Don't look down, OK it will be easier that way." Cassie nodded again and started walking across the bridge. Kim followed. They were only about three steps away when the bridge snapped on the opposite end. Kim and Cassie both Screamed. Kim wand Cassie were hanging onto the bridge when Kim noticed something. The Rope on this end was slowly unraveling. If they didn't do something soon, they were going to fall.
