Andros landed the Megaship upon the class M astroid double checking

all readings until he perfected the landing on the rocky surface.

Leaving the bridge he made his way to the small room where he left

Ashley so she could see or know where they were going. He told her

he had a surprise for her and didn't give anymore information. Now

as he entered the room he smiled at her and said, "We're here."

Ashley: Ashley perked up, "Wheres here?" She got up, "ah who cares,

come on!" she said as she reached for Andys arm

"Hold on," Andros said holding her arm with one hand he pulled a

yellow blindfold from his pocket. Slipping it over her eyes he he

tied it snug enough to stay on. Taking her hand he led her from the

room and down to the shuttle doors. He let her go a second and

activated the door controls. Once it opened he took her arm again

and led her out and down a rocky trail to the edge of a cliff.

Swiftly he undid the blindfold letting it drop to reveal the scene

in the sky before them. Rainbow swirls of gas and light danced in

circles, a nebula of unspoken beauty light up the red mountains of

the asteroid.

Ashley was speechless at the sight before her, "its...beautiful."

she managed to get out.

"It used to be the most beautiful thing I ever set my eyes on,"

Andros said and paused a moment and looked at her, "Then I found an

even greater beauty."

Ashley looked at him a moment before blushing and looking back out

at the sky.

Andros didn't look back to the sky he kept his eyes focused upon

Ashley not saying a word for a moment. Then after some reflection he

spoke, "Its been a long time since the day we first met. I didn't

know then that I would find myself falling in love with you. I had

been through so much that love didn't really matter to me anymore.

Then it came so suddenly. I found myself never wanting to leave your

side. I wanted to become your red knight, your hero. I wanted your

love."

Ashley smiled as she put an arm around his waist, "You didn't have

to do all of this to have me love you, i already do. Anything you do

makes me love you more and more. And im still a tad bit embarrassed

about poking you when we first met."

"I know that I didn't have to do all this. I did this because I knew

I succeeded in gaining your love. I did this because I want to be

with you for as long as this nebula drifts through space. " Andros

awkwardly got down onto one knee as was the Earth custom and took

Ashley's hand, "Ashley Hammond I want to spend eternities with you.

Will you give me the honor, the privilege of being my wife?"

Ashley didn't know what he meant by the nebula drifts through space

but she figured it was a KO-35 thing and it was supposed to be sweet

so she took it as a compliment.

When he asked her to be his wife she looked at him speechless.

finally, "Are,...are you sure?"

"I have never been so sure of anything since the day I accepted to

become the Red Astro Ranger," Andros said, "Even then I am more sure

about this then I ever was about the that. I love you and wish to

spend my life with you."

He had defiantly surprised her, "you sure you got the right Ashley

Hamond? ya know theres gotta be more then one Ashley Hamond in the

galaxy...."

"I dont doubt there probably are more ladies with the name Ashley

Hammond," Andros said, "But I know I have the right one for none

would ever compare to you."

Ashley was totally speechless, "Are you serious?"

"I am completely serious, Will you marry me?"

Ashley wanted to say yes oh god yes but no words came out. she

instead dropped to the ground and threw her arms around Andy

Andros was caught off guard by Ashley's sudden movement and fell

backwards onto the ground. Looking up he could see the nebula

swirling behind Ashley's head. Its light cast a beautiful glow to

her face. "I am going to take that as a yes."

She suddenly burst into around of happy tears, "you can take that as

a Oh god yes, i thought you'd never ask." she said then she laid her

chin on top of Andros's shoulder while he was still on the ground.

Andros felt relief of the tension he felt while he was making his

move to ask and now was filled with joy. "I thought I would never

ask too." He said jokingly.

Ashley: She smiled, "eventually maybe you would have say...25 years

from now?"

"Probably that if not longer," Andros smiled

Ashley pulled up on her hands to look down at him, "you mean you

would wait till i was on my death bed to ask that question?"

"No of course not, I was exaggerating," Andros said, "If I had

cowered out today I would have been ready in a week."

"Course knowing me id probably be on my death bed about 10 years

from now" She smiled lovingly down at him

"That would mean mine would be 10 years too cause I could live

without you."

"That would mean mine would be 10 years too cause I couldnt live

without you."

Ashley: She smiled as she let her chin fall on his chest, "Dont kill

yourself on account of me."

"I wouldn't I would just die from loneliness."

"See now theres no medical proof of that happening or records"

"well this would be a first case."

she smiled,, "doint worry u;'d find another woman to love"

"Never" Andros said his face showing he was telling the truth.

Ashley smiled down at him and turned around so that her head was on

his chest and they were both looking up at the beautiful sight

before them.
