Renewed Sight

Carlos looked at TJ for a reaction. It was obvious that he was as shocked as Carlos felt.
"So, you invited civilians to the Megaship," TJ concluded.
"Well, actually, they're the daughters of one of the Power Rangers biggest galactic supporters," answered Andros. "But, technically, yes."
TJ looked at Ashley and Cassie. It wasn't like they could say no. This was more for the information and public knowledge than asking them for an opinion. "Who are they?" asked Ashley.
"Luana and her little sister, Zineen," replied Andros.
"And why are they coming again?" asked Cassie.
Andros breathed as he recalled the story he had told them. "Their father wants advice on some government issues that deal with the Rangers. It's too dangerous to send a transmission because it could be intercepted, so he's sending his daughter to talk to us in his place."
"His daughter?" asked Cassie repeating Andros's words.
"Luana is the one who will do the talking. Zineen is only six," explained Andros.
"Does Zhane know them?" asked Carlos.
"Oh yeah. He's flirted with Luana many times," replied Andros.
"Where is Zhane?" Cassie asked looking around at the five gathered Rangers. They had expected to Zhane to come up from the surface like the rest of them, but Andros had pointed out earlier that Zhane had been acting distant recently and he needed time to himself.
"Probably still on Earth. I don't know when he'll be back," Andros said.
A beeping sound caused the team to look at the communication station. "Who is that?" asked TJ.
Andros walked over to the station and looked at the screen. "They're early," he stated turning back to them.
All of the Ranger exchanged glances. "Then, let's go," declared TJ and lead them to the lift. Andros was the last to enter and DECA closed the door. "Hanger bay," commanded TJ.
The Megalift went up one level to a massive landing platform. A light aboard their head flashed red telling them that it wasn't safe to enter. After several seconds, it turned to green and the doors opened. Off to one side, a little ship had landed and the ramp came down as the door opened and a woman appeared on the inside. She was wearing a long flowing white gown and was considered one of he most beautiful woman in the galaxy. Her hair was a dark brown with natural red highlights pulled back into a bun.
She came down the ramp and went straight to Andros. "Welcome, Luana," he greeted her.
"Actually, I'm not really excited about beginning here. I was scheduled to speak at a peace conference on Massivala," she answered.
"Well, thank you for coming anyway," Andros said. "I guess I should introduce you to my team. This is TJ, Carlos, Ashley, and Cassie."
She smiled at them and Carlos felt his heart rate go way up. Looking over at TJ, he could tell he was feeling the same thing. "It's nice to meet all of you. The next few days should be enjoyable," she said letting her gaze land on Ashley.
"Where is Zineen?" asked Andros looking at the ship.
"She's asleep. I usually don't take her on these long of trips," answered Luana.
Andros nodded. "Well, why don't we let her sleep and we'll show you to your room," suggested Andros.
Luana smiled and followed Andros out of the room. The other Rangers stayed back as the lift doors closed. "Wow," stated Carlos. T J nodded in agreement.
"So, now what?" asked Ashley.
"Well, from where I stand, we have two choices. We can either go with Andros or we sleep. I would like to sleep personally," said Cassie.
"Then sleep it is," agreed TJ. Carlos and Ashley both quickly agreed and the Rangers left the hanger for Megadeck 5.
Andros and Luana sat on the chairs in the guest room. "When actually are you planning on talking about confidential government issues?" Luana asked amused at her brother's story.
"We'll say it's while they're at school," answered Andros.
"School?" repeated Luana with little understanding.
"It's a building were adults teach specific subjects to the children of the planet," explained Andros. "The Rangers have to go for a few hours tomorrow."
Luana looked at him with a searching expression. "What aren't you telling me?" she asked confident that he wasn't telling her something.
"It's more like seven hours," he told her.
"No, that's not it," she said.
"Zhane isn't back yet and I'm not excited about you seeing him again," confessed Andros.
"Why? Because you're afraid he'll use his manly charm to win my heart again?" she asked laughing at Andros's expression.
"That's not a good thought. And besides, you're not the Kincaid he wants," said Andros.
"What does that mean?" she asked.
"His eyes are on Karone," explained Andros.
"Watch, next he'll be after Zineen," laughed Luana.
Andros smiled and said, "No, he likes Karone a lot. Plus, Zineen really isn't his type."
"Commander," DECA voice broke into the room.
"Yes, DECA?" asked Andros.
"I believe Zhane has returned," DECA told him.
"Thank you, DECA. Where is he?"
"In his quarters," she answered.
Andros turned to Luana and said, "You are going to hate me, but I should talk to Zhane before bed. I drop Zineen by before going to sleep myself."
"That's fine," said Luana as Andros stood up. "I'll catch up with DECA in the mean time."
"Whatever you want," he said before kissing her cheek. "I'll be back."
She smiled as he walked out of the room. Looking up at DECA, she saw the red dots glaring down at her. "You really don't like me," she commented to the camera.
"Dislike is not part of my programming," counted DECA.
"No, but you are jealous. You can't be his mother and even if you were, he has to fly," said Luana.
"Good night," DECA said and her light went out.
Luana shook her head and pulled out her locket. Opening it, she activated the holographic imager and displayed a picture of there family. She smiled before closing her eyes and letting her mind wonder.
