Rewriting History: Comparison of the Two
It was the following day after the Robot Rangers had been activated to help the yellow space ranger. Ashley along with Alpha's help was able to fixed Robot Carlos's arm. Just in time for another one of Astronema's attack. It was only a few quantrons outside the bank; the Robot Rangers pursued the quantrons. Ashley monitored the battle from the main deck on the Astro Ship. "It's been a while since I've seen the Robot Rangers in action but they are amazing." Ashley said. Alpha walked up to the yellow ranger. "Well we did build them to be just like the real thing." he replied. Ashley watched the Red Robot Ranger grabbed two quantrons flipped not only himself but also the two quantrons with him. They fall on their faces while he lands on his feet.
"I guess what has me in awe is I figure our Turbo powers wouldn't have stood a chance against Astronema's forces. But looking at the Robot Rangers if they are like us then if we hadn't lost our Turbo powers." Ashley stopped herself.
A swoosh sound was made behind Ashley and Alpha. Both of them turn around to TJ entering the room. Ashley walked up to the boy giving him a hug. She had been thinking about what Robot TJ had asked her about her relationship with the real TJ. The smell of cucumber melon shampoo filled the blue ranger's nostrils. TJ closed his eyes, as he smelled the girl's hair. Her left ear pressed against his chest. Ashley could hear and feel TJ's heartbeats it was soothing to her. Her breaths slowed to his heartbeats. "Does this feel right?" she thought. Could it be possible that maybe there was someone before Andros? What appealed to her about Andros was maybe the same thing that attracted Cassie to the Phantom Ranger. Here this person appears out of space coming to the aid of the rangers and the world.
There is a certain mystery quality to Andros. His newness to the ways of earth was something else that drew Ashley to Andros. Something simple like eating a banana was strange to Andros. Even though he was been with the earth rangers for a couple months. He still would forget to peel the banana before biting into it. Then the roles change when the rangers would discover something about space, Andros would be teaching them. Their relationship would be equal they both had something to learn from the other.
TJ was a different story. He two was had a similar quality to Andros. TJ wasn't originally from Angel Grove like Ashley and Carlos was. He and Cassie were on a bus heading towards Angel Grove. TJ made the decision to check out a disturbance, good thing too it was Kat and Tommy the Turbo Rangers at that time. If TJ and Cassie hadn't shown up Divatox would have won earlier than she had. Something about TJ wanting help someone he hardly knew, accepting the role as the Red Ranger to defend a city that wasn't even his appeal to Ashley. When she first saw him, she would admit that she found him physically attractive. Ashley being a cheerleader she loved sports, so TJ playing baseball was a plus. TJ was a great friend there plenty of times Ashley and he would stay up all night discussing some of her problems. TJ was smart not just book smarts but common sense smarts. You needed to have both types of smarts to be a ranger especially being the leader of the team.
What made her overlook TJ? Cassie at the beginning had hinted around having interest in him. That was till the Phantom Ranger showed up. After that Ashley felt that one she never date a coworker, so wouldn't this be exactly the same thing. Their job was the most important of them all; bad blood between any two rangers could result in the take over of their world. It was best not to engage in such relationships so early. But Kim and Tommy, Tommy and Kat, Adam and Tanya were able to have a relationship without it affecting the team. Clearly she was going to break that rule for Andros. So why not TJ? How would she know unless they attempted to make a go at it?
She pulled away from him looking up into his eyes. "How was the trip?" she asked.
"Um well it was harder than I thought." TJ said looking away from her.
"Astronema showed up?" Ashley asks. "Are you ok?"
"Oh no nothing like that it was them. She left their bodies there on that planet. When I took their morphers off their arms I couldn't stand to look at them. But I have them along with their host." TJ said softly.
"You brought their bodies back to the ship. Oh I know that had to be. Yeah I don't think I could have even stand to go back there." Ashley said hugging the boy again. "But you did." she said.
"Well I remember your mom asking me about why the others haven't shown up when you were in the hospital. I think they at least deserve to bury their children. Only a few problems, one how do I explain to their parents how they died. Two who would I talk to about Andros?" TJ said Ashley lets go of the ranger. "Well I think our parents need to know about what we're doing. We'll have to figure about Andros later." Ashley said.
"Ashley, TJ the Robot Rangers they need your help." Alpha said. Both rangers looked at the screen as the quantrons disappears and Ecliptor shows up in his place. "Stay here I want to test my theory." TJ said running out of the main deck. Ashley watched the screen as Ecliptor knocked the Robot rangers down except for the Red Robot Ranger. He matched every attack with his own. Then she saw something that shocked her on the screen. The Red space ranger appeared on the screen kicking Elciptor away from the Robot Ranger. "Andros?" she asked, "Of course not he's...um. Deca who is that red ranger?" she asks.
"It is TJ using the red space morpher." DECA answered. Ashley looked at TJ wear the suit that Andros once wore. It was weird for her looking at the battle. Looking at the Red Turbo Ranger she thought of TJ not robot ranger TJ. Looking at the Red Space ranger she thought of Andros fighting there. But neither one of her thoughts were true. Their fighting styles were the similar they were both TJ. The two TJ's combine attack sent Ecliptor back to Astronema with his tail between his legs.
Later that night Ashley and TJ walked through the park. They had just left the surf spot it was like a mini date that really wasn't a date. "TJ I've been thinking about everything that has been happening. It's been really weird to." Ashley said.
"I know you want to morn the lost of your friends. But we can't because we still have a job to do." TJ finished.
"No that's not what I was going to say. Yesterday and today I realize that I had been overlooking feelings for quite some time. Feelings that is not strong enough to be called love but feelings that are more than friendship. I like you." Ashley said she stop to see what TJ's reaction was going to be. TJ smiled words that he wanted to hear for quite some time. "I like you too, I just didn't say anything. Carlos told me how you two had crushes on each other sometime back." TJ said. He walked up to the girl he wanted to kiss her but he wasn't sure if they were at that stage yet. Ashley held up her hand stopping the boy's advances. "But as much as I would like to explore this relationship. It will always feel weird between us that our relationship blooms out of such tragedy. Every time you wear that red space ranger suit I'll see Andros. Every time the robot rangers are activated I'll think of Carlos, Justin, and Cassie. Whoever we choose to be the silver space ranger I'll think of Zhane. And I can't do it; being with you will only bring up those memories. Memories that I feel I cannot deal with at this present moment. I'm sorry TJ" Ashley said running from the boy.
TJ reached into his shirt pulling out a gold necklace that had a golden clock charm. "Well then I know what I must do." TJ said looking at the necklace.
