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, but not Saryn, I nicked him from Starhawk. 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.
Jenny: Love the review. Reading a chapter twice? I've read my own stories, I don't know how many times by now and this is the second time I'm working through Starkawk's. I have to suggest you to read this one again too, there's a note in there addressing you.
Necroblade: Nope, not Zhane, Zhane's going with Karone. Who's Say? Read and find out. This chapter is meant to build up the suspense too, but I hope you like it anyway.
Arwennicole: As I said before, sorry I didn't update sooner. Hope you didn't mind the waiting too much. To bad about The Next Generation being over. I've read your previews and I'm going to try and read. I'm not really into those seasons, but gonna try it anyway.
Lucy E: I'll try to clear things out for you. Nychelle is Liaum's, the black Karovan ranger, cousin. She is not related to the other rangers in any way. Meatball was the nickname they gave the Zhane of this dimension so they wouldn't get mixed up. I promise things will clear up soon about Dawn's relationship.
Phantom Rogue: A new face! No, wait, that's wrong, a new name! Yay. Glad you like my stories. Sorry I didn't update sooner, look in the A/N at the end of the chapter for the explanation.
Maiken: Yay, another new name! Of moet ik zeggen, hoera, weer een nieuwe naam! Ik ben blij dat je mijn verhaal leuk vind. Sorry dat ik niet sneller dit hoofdstuk online heb gegooid, meestal update ik iedere ochtend voor ik naar school ga, maar dit weekend ging mijn oma verhuizen, dus had ik wat minder tijd om te schrijven dan dat ik had gewild. Andros en Ashley zijn ook mijn favoriete ranger koppel. Ik denk dat in het volgende hoofdstuk duidelijk gaat worden wat ik met Dawn ga doen en met wie zij een relatie heeft. Als de namen iets te verwarrend zijn moet je het me even laten weten, dan stuur ik een bestandje dat ik soms zelf moet gebruiken om ze uit elkaar te houden. Hope dat je dit hoofdstuk leuk vind, ik vond het in ieder geval wel grappig eens een Nederlandse reactie te schrijven, is wel weer even omschakelen.
Chapter 11
Dawn smiled as she walked out of the building. Ashley sat on the rim of the fountains basin. Karly sat cross-legged in front of her, seemingly entranced in the story Ashley was telling.
"She's good with children." Eyn's mother commented. "Just like you, Dawn."
"She has another brother. He's almost one and a half." Dawn replied.
"Wish your mother was still here?"
"No, I don't think dad would have taken the job here if she still lived and I wouldn't want to give up my life here for anything in universe." Dawn replied.
"And we wouldn't want to lose you either." Meatball added, putting an arm around her shoulder.
That evening
Everyone was gathered in the community room, chatting happily. Jeff, Daniel, Darien and Deana had left around noon with the excuse of having to clean the house, since Dawn flatly refused to put one foot in there before it was cleaned up.
Suddenly Dros' communicator chimed.
"Yeah?"
"A jetfighter just started docking procedures." Deca's voice reported.
"I'll go." Dawn said, jumping up.
Dros nodded once and the bright light of teleportation took over Dawn's vision. When the light disappeared, she was looking at the door to the docking bay. The light above it was burning bright red, indicating that the room was still a vacuum.
She didn't have to wait long for it to turn green, though, and the moment it did, the doors opened for her and she walked in.
A jetfighter was stabilizing itself, hovering a few inches above the deck. Once it was, the seals of the cockpit hissed and the canopy opened. (A/N: Hey, Jenny. I remembered the word! Yay, for me.)
Dawn smiled when a ranger stepped out.
"Welcome back on KO-35, Saryn." She greeted courteously.
The ranger's morph shifted and faded into nothingness. A boy, not much taller than Sandra, appeared. His black hair reached just past his shoulders and tired, but bright blue eyes met her brown ones. He was dressed completely in black, black pants, black shirt and black tunic.
"It's good to be back, Ash." He replied.
"Actually, it's Dawn for a while. Come on, I'll walk you to your room and explain what's going on."
Saryn nodded and walked over to her, stumbling slightly. Dawn quickly reached out to steady him.
"Have you been overtaxing your ruby again?" She asked affectionately.
"No more than normal." Saryn replied.
"Say, you know Leatitia is going to flip when she finds out."
"You mean 'if'." Saryn corrected. "All I need is a day of rest and nobody will notice."
Dawn caught his silent question for her not to tell.
"It's not like I'm asking you to lie to your future mother-in-law." He added thoughtfully after a moment.
Dawn laughed and looked at the ring around the fourth finger of her left hand. It surprised her Ashley hadn't noticed it yet, or maybe she had but didn't dare to ask about it. It had also surprised her Asty had used the word 'boyfriend' and not 'fiancé' this morning in the observatory.
"Have you picked a day, yet?" Saryn's question broke her train of thoughts.
"No, not yet. Our duties have been keeping us a little too busy to make any wedding plans." Ashley said, a little regretfully, before adding teasingly. ""But don't worry, we'll tell you when."
"Good. I wouldn't want to miss it for the world."
Dawn smiled and gave him a soft tug.
"Let's get you to your room so you can sleep." She urged.
"And so you can tell me what's going on right now, right?"
Dawn nodded and he willingly let him guide her down the hall to the lift. Soon they arrived at Saryn's room.
"The Earth rangers are here too?" Saryn asked, sounding a little uncomfortable.
"Something wrong with that? I thought you said they were nice."
"No, nothing's wrong, it's just…" Saryn replied, trailing off. "Never mind, I'll go get some rest now. I'll make sure the coast is clear, before teleporting anywhere tomorrow."
"Let one of us know when you're ready to move around without stumbling. Just to be sure you don't run into any of them."
Saryn nodded.
"I believe that is best."
"Oh, and beware, Karly knows you're here." Dawn warned, causing Saryn to smile.
"In that case I'll take half a day more rest."
Dawn laughed and let go of him so he could go into his room.
"See you in the morning."
"See you tomorrow." Saryn replied and walked into the room.
Dawn reached for her morpher to teleport back, when Deca stopped her.
"Dawn?"
"Yes, Deca?" Dawn replied.
"May I remind you, you have a physical check-up scheduled for next week."
"Damn, I forgot. Thanks for the warning. I'll keep it in mind."
Then she lifted her morpher again and activated the teleportation. The courtyard of the ranger compound formed around her and she let out a soft sigh, before walking into the community room again.
At the questioning gazes of it's occupants, she smiled.
"He's fine. I informed him of the situation and agreed to our temporary solution. He's resting now and can't wait to see you all again, especially you, Karly."
Karlesha beamed at those words.
"That reminds me, you should be in bed too." Eyn's mother said.
"I'll put her to bed." Zeyah volunteered.
Karly jumped of her big brother's lap and slipped her hand in Zeyah's.
"How come she never protests when one of you girls offer to put her to bed?" Eyn complained.
"Because sisters are more fun?" Asty suggested jokingly.
"Dawn, what do you say? You're the expert, since you have both." Liaum asked.
"Sisters are definitely more fun, brothers just life to make your life harder than it already is and to scare the living daylights out of you." Dawn replied, dropping down on the bench next to Asty.
"You okay?" Ashley asked. "You look a little down."
"I'm fine. Deca just decided to remind me I have a physical check-up next week." Dawn grimaced.
"Physical check-up?" TJ asked.
"Yeah, every two months the team has to get one. It's been like that ever since we've gotten our morphers. Whoever thought of that is so dead next time I see them." Dawn explained.
"That would be us." Andros' father replied. "You were only eleven when you started fighting. It was important to make sure you weren't beaten up too badly that it would cause permanent damage and that could only be detected after some time, so…"
"You decided to have us checked out every two months." Dawn finished. "Don't get me wrong. I don't have a problem with it, I just wish it wasn't so frequent."
"Oh, poor Dawn." Liaum teased. "She'll have to visit here least favourite room of the Megaship again."
"I don't have a problem with the infirmary, Liaum." Dawn shot back. "Just with hospitals in general."
"You're not the only one." Sandra assured and Cassie nodded at that.
"It's not so bad." Ashley shrugged. "As long as I'm not the patient, I'm fine with them."
"You are all pathetic." Carlos informed them.
"Like you should talk." TJ grinned devilishly. "I can remember a few times you were in infirmary…"
"Don't you dare!"
A/N: Hope you liked it. It's a bit short and I'm sorry for updating so late. My grandma was moving this weekend and I wasn't able to find as much time to write as I would have liked. School's starting to scream for my attention too, so I'm afraid I can't guarantee there will be a new chapter up tomorrow. I'll do the best I can, that I can promise. Please review.
