Summary: AU PRiS; Two rangers are stuck on an icy planet and they can't stand one another. Can they survive the cold or more importantly, each other?
Timeline: Starts between 'Dark Specter's Revenge' and 'Rangers Gone Psycho'. Andros never opened up and never started dating Ashley.

Unexpected
Chapter 2
Ashley woke up shivering. She had stolen the warmer blankets out of Carlos and Cassie's rooms. She had slept under them plus her own and she had kept on her cloths and still she was cold. God she hated this planet, this ship and Andros.
There was a loud knock on her door.
"You better wake up. The ship doesn't get fixed on its own you know."
Yes, she definitely hated Andros. She got out of bed and shivered again. Who ever designed the Megaship to have the sleeping quarters of the rangers at the utter hull anyway?
When she left her room she almost walked into Andros.
"You don't have to worry about your precious ship, you know. I want to get out of here even more badly than you do." With that she stalked of to the bridge to repair the last console and get that system check, maybe she could get DECA back online.
DECA's systems had failed sometime yesterday, so now she had to do everything manually.
On her way to the bridge she decided to sleep in one of the guest quarters to night. They were located in the middle of the ship, so they should be a little bit warmer.
Elsewhere
Andros grumbled. Of all the rangers he had to be stuck with HER. She was way too innocent and naïve for the hardship of life in space and in a way she was too pure. She reminded him of how his sister had been and should still be. It wasn't fair Ashley had been allowed to stay that way and not Kerone.
He wished he could switch Ashley and Karone, so his sister would be at his side and his enemy on the side of evil, where she belonged, not as yellow ranger on his team.
Andros sighed in frustration. Again his attempts to fix the thrusters failed. He knew he would do a whole lot better if he had help, but he refused to ask Ashley.
He tried again to fix the thrusters, only to fail miserably.
Days passed like that. Andros waking up Ashley at the crack of dawn, (both had moved to the guestrooms, not that it made much difference) a few harsh comments before both went their won way to try and fix something, but failing.
Then one day a snowstorm hit.
Ashley woke up shivering again. Something was wrong. Her alarm clock said it was still in the middle of the night.
Suddenly someone started knocking on her door. Reluctantly she got up and wrapped her yellow blanket around her shoulders. It seemed to be even colder than usual.
She opened the door and was met by Andros, but how could that be a surprise? He was the only other being on the ship. (A/N: Don't ask me where Alpha is, he's just not there.)
"What?" She growled.
"A snowstorm is raging outside. I came to wake you up, so you wouldn't get hypothermia." Andros shivered.
"I didn't know you cared." Ashley replied sarcastically.
"I don't. I just don't want to deal with a broken ship AND a frozen ranger."
Both of them shivered again.
"Look, normally I wouldn't suggest this and stay away form you as far as possible, but it's obvious we're both freezing, even when we're wrapped in blankets." Ashley sighed.
"What are you suggesting?" Andros asked, raising an eyebrow.
"If we want to stay warm, we might try sharing body heat." Andros looked like he was about to protest. "Look, I don't like the idea either, but it's the only way I can think of. Truce?"
Andros looked sceptically at the hand Ashley extended, but eventually took it.
"Truce."
"Well, come in." Ashley sighed. "And give me your blankets."
"What?!"
"Just do it."
Andros reluctantly handed her his and Zhane's blankets. He watched as she pulled of her own blanket and put them together along with the blankets of the black and pink rangers.
"Sit." She ordered, pointing to the bed.
Andros did as he was told and made himself comfortable against the headboard with her pillow in his back. Ashley wrapped the five blankets around his shoulders and indicated for him to take the edges. He did and she went to sit, obviously reluctantly, between his legs. Catching her drift, Andros wrapped his arms and the blankets around her. Sitting there like that, he couldn't help but notice it felt right somehow.
It took some time, but eventually they relaxed against each other and a long night started.
A/N: Hope you liked it. Please review.
