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.
Juzblue: Yeah, Andrea isn't nice is she? Glad you like the story. I'm a Starkhawk fan too and I'm sure you know who he is, you're not the only one, but I keep confusing people, so they get unsure of it.
Necroblade: Just read, you'll find out in this chapter. Mostly you can see where my fics are going to, but that's when I'll throw in a twist.
Firehunter: I will, promise.
Arwennicole: It's okay. His identity is revealed now.
Maiken: Ik haat soaps! En nu ben ik er zelf een aan het schrijven. AAAAAHHHHH. Het is inderdaad handig zo'n trein uurtje, vandaag ben ik 3 uur van huis voor maar 3 kwartier les en het is niet eens verplicht. Ben ik gek of niet? Misschien is dat wel waarom je mij beter vind schrijven dan Starhawk. Ik wil wel iedere minuut van de dag updaten, maar dan mis ik een hele boel reviews en ik heb geen hoofdstukken om erop te zetten. In het begin van de verhalen meestal wel, maar het loopt altijd best snel in.
The-power-of-love: Well, here's the next chapter. Very glad you liked it.
Jenny: Well, since you beta-read this already, you know who the father is and I know for sure you love it. Thanks for all the words of praise, it really means a lot to me to hear that. I definitely like throwing in loopholes, I'm sometimes even surprising myself with them.
Lucy E: Revealing it now? Does that make it up to you? I'm glad you got my little hint. I'll try to toy a little less with you, okay?
Starlight: Not long, as you can see.
Chapter 13
A smile started on his face, growing bigger, and bigger. By now, Dawn had fully opened her eyes and watched comprehension dawn on his face, an amused look on hers.
"Thanks, Deca." He muttered, shooting her camera a grateful look, before turning back to Dawn. "She's right. I wouldn't want to risk losing this baby."
"Just keep in mind, I'm only a week along." Dawn told him.
"A week?" He asked, surprised. "You do know when to plan it, don't you?"
Dawn smiled at him fondly.
"Shall we go tell the others?" She asked, a little unsure. "I don't think they'd take me going non-active without an explanation, and a good one."
He leaned over and placed a light kiss on her lips.
"Let's go."
Dawn got up and straightened her clothes.
"Oh, and you do get that I want this…" She held up her left hand, and he smiled as the light caught her ring. "Final, before this baby is born."
"Naturally." He agreed. "It's a great excuse, isn't it?"
She giggled and leaned against him.
"Yeah, it is. Eyn and Zeyah will be glad too. Our wedding will probably give them a reason to put some speed into their own plans."
"I don't get those two. They're making wedding-plans and still Eyn won't propose."
Dawn giggled.
"Zeyah once joked, she sees him proposing the day of the wedding."
His laughter filled the room, finally breaking the comfortable silence with a new sound, even more welcome to Dawn's ears. Still smiling, he put his left arm around his fiancée and reached for her morpher with his other hand. She willingly held out her wrist to him and soon a mix of their teleportation lights overtook his vision.
The courtyard formed around them and they heard voices come from the community room. Both took a deep breath and he pulled his arm back a little, but leaving his hand to rest on the small of her back.
"Let's go face the music." He whispered in Dawn's ear, knowing it tickled.
Once the appeared in the doorway of the community room, all conversation stopped for a moment.
"Dawn!" Asty exclaimed, jumping up and pulling Dawn into a hug. "You okay? Why didn't Deca want you to fight? Nothing's wrong, right?"
Dawn laughed and returned the hug.
"You'd think you haven't seen me in days."
"You're avoiding the question." Zeyah reminded lightly.
"I know."
"Dawn…" Zhane's father warned.
"I'm fine, really."
"Then why didn't Deca let you fight?" Eyn demanded.
"She didn't think we'd want to risk it." Dawn replied.
"Risk what, exactly?" Zhane asked.
By now her teammates were crowding around her. Dawn glanced over at their visitors and decided that whatever relationships lived in that dimension, it wouldn't break hers if they found out.
"The same risk that makes me go non-active for a while." She replied finally.
"What?" Came a collective exclamation.
"You said nothing was wrong." Asty said, in a demanding and tone.
From her spot on one of the tables, Ashley looked over at Andros. He shrugged, indicating he didn't have a clue why Dawn would switch to non-active. If Dawn's words hadn't surprised her. Dros' reply took her completely aback.
"I didn't know pregnancy was a severe medical condition."
The whole room fell silent.
"Say what?" Meatball said at last.
"We're expecting." Dros grinned.
"No way." Eyn muttered.
Dawn nodded and Dros' mother got up, wrapping Dawn into a hug.
"That's wonderful, dear. I'm sure the two of you will make great parents."
"Thanks, Leatitia."
Then Dawn looked over at Ashley. The other girl just gave her a blank look.
"Dros is your boyfriend?" She asked in disbelieve.
"Well, actually he's my fiancé…"
"It comes down to the same thing." Ashley protested.
"Well, in that case. Yes, he is."
"Good." Ashley declared, a bright smile appearing on her face.
She jumped up from the table she had been sitting on and skipped over to Andros. Once there, she dropped down on his lap, resting her head on his. Andros' arms wrapped automatically around her and he held her close. Happy to finally have his arms around her again.
"Why did we even bother hiding our relationships?" Dros asked, watching the display.
"It seemed like a smart idea." Zeyah replied.
"No more." Dawn decided.
"Definitely not." Ashley agreed. "I can't sleep without my teddy bear."
"He can't stay asleep without you either." Zhane teased.
"Very funny." Ashley replied, but nuzzled a little closer to Andros.
"Is that a silent hint to let the two of them share a room?" Meatball joked.
By now Ashley had closed her eyes and ignored everything around her, enjoying the sensation of being in her boyfriend's arms again.
"This seems more and more meant to be." Andros' mental voice told her. "Even in another dimension, under different circumstances we got together."
"Don't forget that if we had lived here, we could be parents soon."
"Being in the dimension we live in, doesn't mean it can't happen to us too."
Ashley didn't move, but Andros could feel some of her muscles tense.
"It doesn't mean anything." Andros added quickly. "I just said it could happen. That doesn't mean it has to."
"It's not that I don't want to. I would love to have a child with you, but…"
"It's a little sudden." Andros finished reassuringly. "Don't worry. I didn't mean right now. Let's wait till you're settled in on KO-35, before continuing this discussion, alright?"
Ashley nodded only a little and if she weren't leaning her head against his, he wouldn't even have noticed.
"So how far are you along, Dawn?" Asty asked.
"Just a week, so let's keep it to ourselves, alright?"
"How do you expect we explain to the colonists why you are on non-active for now?" Eyn wanted to know.
"A medical condition. They don't have to know more until we decide to give more information." Dros replied.
"True, so how about we're going to be completely honest with each other, now? I mean, it's obvious those two didn't like having their relationship on hold and I'm sure their not the only ones." Zeyah said.
"All hail, Zeyah." Ashley muttered, causing the others to laugh.
"How 'bout we tell each other, who's seeing who, so that's settled and we don't have to worry about getting caught anymore." Eyn suggested.
"You start, I'll sleep." Ashley replied, yawning a little.
"It's getting late, we might want to reschedule that to tomorrow at breakfast?" Dros suggested.
Everyone agreed to that and went off to bed. For the first time since coming here, neither Andros, nor Ashley had trouble getting to sleep. The soft breathing and heartbeat of the other were like a lullaby to them, and sleep claimed them only minutes after lying down.
A/N: Hope you liked it. Now you finally know you were all right from the beginning. Am I evil or what? Please review.
