Disclaimer: Still not mine. Wish I could say I'm working on it, but I'm not, it costs way too much for me to buy it. I do own Toynee, Eyn, Zeyah, Liaum, Andrew, Aaron, Andrea and any other character you don't recognize from the original series. If not, I'll let you know.

Make A Wish!

Summary: Sequel to 'Born To Fly otherwise know as The Freak'. The rangers are offered to make wishes and see what could have been. At first it seems great, until they find out they're stuck and have to find a way back to their own universe.

Firehunter: Thanks.

Arwennicole: In the chapter where they meet Dros and Dawn is a small clue if he's telling the truth or not.

Starlight63: Of course you're going to find out if Dawn and Dros are together or not, I'm just not telling when.

Necroblade: I'm still thanking you. I'm always glad to hear there's at least one thing I CAN do right. Oh and don't worry, homework's getting to me too.

Jeanka: Action? This chapter should give you a hint. The ending I made especially for you.

Jenny: Here's more. You can think what you want, but until I decided to let out if they're together or not, you'll just have to keep presuming. I liked the Chinese part of the review. It's cool.

Chapter 8

"You can't be serious!"

"You sound as if it's a bad thing."

"Sorry, it's just that I never imagined you to be a 'love at first sight'-person."

"I'm not! It's just…"

"You think he's cute."

The voices drifted through the locked-open doors and for a brief moment Ashley wondered if it was wise to go in, but before she could decide, she was already standing in front of them. Knowing she couldn't go back now, she knocked on the doorpost to announce her arrival. Dawn looked up from her position on the ground and smiled.

"Hey, come in."

Neither Dawn or Deana looked uncomfortable with her sudden presence and since their voices weren't very different from each other, she couldn't determine who had said what.

"Hey. I, uh, was wondering if you could finish your story." Ashley asked, nervously taking a few steps into the room.

"Sure."

"I'll be going then." Deana said, getting up from the couch she was seated on.

"You don't have to go." Dawn protested.

"I know, but unlike you, I don't have a computer to help me with my homework and at the moment I'm a bit behind."

Dawn shook her head lightly with a small chuckle and turned back to Ashley.

"Well, sit down."

Ashley shot a quick look around the room. The room itself was big and shaped as half a sphere, since it was at the top of the building. All the walls and the roof were made of glass. There were about twenty couches or so in it and they looked as if they were just dumped randomly. The floor was covered with a cream coloured carpet and in the middle of the room lay seven sleeping bags.

Dawn was sprawled on the yellow coloured sleeping-bag, her gaze turned back at the sky.

"What is this place?" Ashley asked curiously.

"It's our own private observatory, just like on the Megaship. If we've had enough of sleeping in beds, we come up here, as you can probably see."

"Don't you ever put them away?" Ashley asked, amusement clear in her voice.

"Nope." Dawn said, then added thoughtfully. "I think they've lain here since we've got our morphers."

Ashley let out a small giggle and dropped down on the purple sleeping bag.

"So, where was I with my story?" Dawn asked.

"You just finished telling how you became a ranger."

"Oh yeah. Okay, so much didn't happen after that. When I was thirteen, Jeff enrolled in the PTD to start his training and even though he wouldn't really be in the field fighting with the fighter wing until he was eighteen, standard policy, it did scare the heck out me to know that during the attacks he would be out there. The team helped me over it. It also helped that we were flying with the wing a year before Jeff was allowed to fly."

"Why could you fly earlier?"

"Rangers." Dawn answered. "There aren't may laws that include the planets rangers. We have the power to protect us and Deca is always making sure we're okay, so we're pretty safe, but anyway. A year later we found Karone and rescued her. But when I offered her my morpher, she refused."

Flashback

"I won't take it."

"But it's yours." Ashley protested.

"Wrong. It stopped being mine when I was kidnapped and I won't rip you away from the team. It's yours now."

Ashley contemplated this for a moment before threw her arms around the other girl.

"You are the best." She exclaimed.

Karone laughed and returned the hug.

"No, you are. I owe you a lot, Ash." She replied.

"Why?" Ashley asked, pulling back and giving her a questioning look.

"Taking care of my brother, for one."

Ashley blushed.

End Flashback

"After that, things were pretty standard; fighting monsters and Quantrons, going to school, run to Eltar when they call us, make sure the house is clean, you know."

"Making sure the house is clean?" Ashley asked.

"Yeah, dad got promoted a few times and now he's very busy with his job. Between school, homework, friends and the fighter-wing, the others don't make a lot of time for it. To be honest none of us are home a lot, but we always know where the others are and we never make a problem of making time for each other." Dawn answered.

"Sometimes I wish me and Andrea were as close as you and Deana are."

"Hey, lighten up a little. If Andrea can't see what she's missing, it's not worth the trouble."

"For a few days she acted normal towards me." Ashley admitted.

"What made her go back?"

"She found out about my boyfriend." Ashley said softly.

"Boyfriend?" Dawn shifted a little uncomfortably.

Taking a deep breath, Ashley gathered all her courage to find out if her suspicions were right or not.

"Don't you have a boyfriend?"

Dawn looked down and blushed a little.

"Yeah, I do. No one on this team is single."

"Will you tell me?"

"Are you sure? Things are most likely nothing like your dimension."

Ashley nodded violently.

"Alright. Well, Zeyah and Eyn are a couple. Have been since just before they got their morphers. Liaum goes with a girl named Taryn. She's really sweet. Was about time too, he was the only single on the team until a year ago, still don't know how he put up with all couples around him."

Ashley laughed at that.

"After Karone got back, Zhane spent a lot of time with her. A year and a half after she returned they got together."

"Where did you find Karone anyway?" Ashley asked suddenly, getting a little scared that maybe Dawn and Dros weren't together.

Zeyah and Eyn and Zhane and Karone, the two couples were obvious now she thought about it. Zeyah and Eyn were never far apart from each other and Zhane was always joking around Karone, finding any excuse to touch her, but Dros and Dawn. They weren't around each other much. Their relationship was close, that was for sure, but they didn't seem appear together, not like the other two couples.

"I'm not sure I should tell…"

"Tell what?" A voice cut in.

They looked up to see Asty walking into the room.

"Ashley asked where we found you." Dawn answered.

Asty shot Ashley a sceptical look as if to decide if she was to know or not, but it was enough for Ashley. She had only seen that look on only one other person.

"Astronema." Ashley whispered.

Asty's eyes widened for a moment and then she nodded.

"I'm not proud of it."

"Neither is Karone, but a person's past does not say much about the person itself." Ashley smiled and then added. "That's why you decided to use Asty, right? It's from Astronema."

"Yeah, it is." Asty replied and dropped down next to her. "So what were you two talking about, other then me?"

"I told her about my life her, like she told about her life there and we were just covering the team's couples…"

"Told her who's your boyfriend yet?" She asked and Dawn shook her head. "You're not going to believe this, Ash. I doubt it's the same in your dimension."

Ashley steeled herself for Asty's words that could bring down any change of not having to restrain herself or make the restrains unnecessary.

"Ashley's boyfriend is…"

An alarm caught of Asty's words and she and Dawn shot up.

"Trouble. Again. What do you know?" Dawn said with a rueful sigh. "I'm really sorry Ash, but KO-35 is under attack. We need to go. Catch you later."
