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.

Arwennicole: That's 3 times update soon and I still wasn't able to do it. Sorry. Hope you have/had a nice vacation.

Jenny: Well, you now know what I say to Maiken, I promise to keep mailing the translations. As you might have noticed already, I'm ending this story soon. My idea's are running out and the other fic is growing in my head and I really need to get it out.

Juzblue: I stole that line, kinda. Okay, this wasn't soon, should I call the mortuary already?

Phantom Rogue: I check, the line was said by Kira in Amends in chapter 26 if I remember correctly. Um, I already answered your questions. I still have one finished chapter of 'The Fight Goes On' on my laptop, so I'll sent it to my beta-reader and update, but it'll be the last update for a while.

Firehunter: Glad you liked it. Enjoy.

Necroblade: Read and find out. The sunglass function, see chapter 9 of this story. I'm fine, but school's murder, so that's why it's taking me so long to update. I've got a lot of days off the coming week, so I'll have more time to write.

Maiken: Geen review. :-(

Chapter 16

After the fight, the Karovan rangers, Ashley substituting Dawn, teleported back to the control room. The moment she demorphed, Andros took her in his arms.

"Don't scare me like that." He told her, hugging her tightly.

She was distantly aware of the fact that Dawn had thrown herself in Dros' arms once he demorphed, too, and that the two were holding each other tightly.

With a smile she relaxed in Andros' arms, nuzzling close to him.

"Sorry, but it was the only way."

Andros nodded, but didn't let her go. As she stood there, enjoying Andros' warm embrace, something shifted in the room. If she hadn't been telepathically aware of the presence ever since the battle, she wouldn't have noticed, but as she was, she gently untangled herself out of Andros' embrace and started hard at an empty spot in the control room.

"I know you're there." She called out.

Everyone looked at her as if she was crazy, but the Karovan rangers shifted uncomfortably. Since everyone's attention was fixed on Ashley and the spot she was staring at, nobody noticed this.

The spot shimmered and a morphed figure appeared.

"Phantom!" Cassie and Sandra cried at the same time, then Cassie turned to Ashley. "How did you…"

"I felt his presence flanking my after those monsters suddenly went flying." Ashley answered.

"That's another upgrade." Dawn admitted. "It enhances the sensitivity of a Telepath. Normally a Telepath can only sense other Telepaths. When morphed, we can sense anyone. Someone without any psychic powers at all is just a faint presence in the back of the mind, easily ignored. Someone with psychic powers, doesn't matter if it's an Empath or something like that, we sense it like a Telepath."

Suddenly something clicked in Sandra's mind.

"You're that Say guy, right?" She demanded.

Phantom shifted uncomfortably, but nodded. Zhane's eyes scanned the Phantom Ranger. He had never met him, but had heard enough about him. While his eyes wandered, his mind did a simple deduction.

'His ruby powers him. The Elisian rangers were powered by gems and after their defeat, the body of their leader, Saryn, wasn't found. Neither was his power-gem, a ruby. Elisians are Empaths; Dawn mentioned sensing Empaths while morphed. The Karovan Rangers called Phantom Say. Say is the first syllable of the name Saryn...'

"You wouldn't happen to be Saryn of Elisia, would you?" Zhane asked bluntly, his tone half accusing, half curious.

The eyes of the Karovan rangers and Phantom's visor all snapped in his direction. They didn't hear Phantom's sigh, but it was visible in his body language. Then he nodded slowly, letting his morphed fade.

"I most ask you not to reveal it." Saryn replied, softly.

All rangers, with the exception of the Karovan rangers, stared at him; they had never seen the Phantom Ranger demorph and never thought he would do it with so little complaint.

"How?" Sandra whispered, not sure of what she wanted to say.

"Eyn made the same deduction Zhane probably made. The red Elisian ranger morphed with a ruby, my power source is a ruby. After the fall of the Elisian Rangers, the body of Saryn, or rather, I, was never found. They confronted me, promised not to tell anyone and I've coming here to 'recharge' ever since." Saryn replied.

"Don't worry." Sandra assured. "Your secret is safe with us."

Two weeks later

Feather light kisses were being placed all over her face. As wonderful as the sensation was, she really wanted to sleep. In a futile effort to escape back into her dream, she attempted pushing him away. Of course, it did her good, now that he knew she was awake and it only made him more persistent. Defeated, she sat up.

"Alright, alright, I'm awake." She sighed.

"Good." He muttered in her ear between kisses. "They want to see us in the control room as soon as possible."

"Can't they let us sleep late for one day?" Ashley complained, enjoying the feeling of his kisses.

"Apparently not."

Only now did she notice he was already fully dressed and his hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail.

"How long have you been up?" She demanded.

"About an hour or so. You were still sleeping so soundly, I just couldn't get myself you wake you up." He replied, finally claiming her lips.

"You do understand I'm not going to the control room in my pyjamas, right?"

"So get dressed." Andros replied teasingly.

"I can't with you kissing me every second." Ashley mock complained.

"I'll make you a deal." Andros grinned, kissing her again. "I stop kissing you long enough for you to change, but I get to stay."

Ashley pretended to think about it.

"I guess I have no other choice."

Andros smiled, kissing her one more time, before letting her get out of bed and walk over to the Synthetron to get some clothes. Ashley quickly slipped out of her pyjama and slipped into her clothes.

"You're no fun." Andros complained, but the act was lost by the grin on his face.

"You weren't being very specific, now were you?" Ashley replied, playing along.

Before she registered him move, he had her wrapped in his arms, crushing his lips to hers. She melted into his kiss, wrapping her arms around his neck. After a minute she pulled back.

"I could stay here kissing you all day, but we really need to go to the control room and see what they want."

Andros sighed defeated. Keeping an arm wrapped around her waist, he led her out the door and to the control room.

"What kept you?" Zhane called jokingly.

"Wouldn't you like to know." Ashley shot back, unfazed by Zhane's teasing.

"Damn, you're no fun." Zhane muttered.

"It's your own fault." Ashley smiled sweetly. "You teased us so much, we learned to ignore it."

Zhane made a face at her and Karone, who was standing closest to him, gave him a playful slap.

"So what is it that I needed to get out of bed for?" Ashley asked with a fake yawn.

"Don't know. Dawn said she wanted to see us here, but she and Dros are even later than you two." Aaron grinned.

"Coincidence?" Zhane muttered softly.

"I hope nothing's wrong with the baby." Cassie said worried.

"The baby's fine." A voice cut in. "But thanks for the concern."

"So what did you call us here for then?" Andrew asked.

"Well, I've got some good news for you." Dawn smiled. "Deca just finished recalculating and finally it turned out flawless. In approximately an hour we'll have enough energy to open the portal to sent you guys back home."

"I don't know if I want to go back." Carlos admitted.

"I have to agree with Carlos, this dimension seems so much better." TJ agreed and Cassie nodded.

"You've only seen the bright side." Sandra muttered. "You haven't seen my dad when he's drunk again."

"Or Gab." Vargas said, making a face. "He's in with the wrong friends. He's been at the police station I don't know how many times. I wouldn't put it passed him to do drugs too."

"Does media ring a bell?" Jay asked. "We have no privacy what so ever, our every single move gets taped and every time we're seen with a boy or girl, we're asked if we're together."

"We have the responsibility of a whole colony laying on our shoulders." Meatball sighed. "If it wasn't for Dawn's optimism, I don't think we've gotten this far."

"There are still people who don't trust me because I was Astronema." Asty added softly.

"When our mother died, her family cut off all contact with our dad, blaming him for her death." Daniel said, his voice holding no emotion. "We never heard anything off them after.

"The moment evil finds out about this baby…" Dawn whispered, her voice trailing off.

Dros quickly wrapped his arms around her.

"Maybe your dimension isn't perfect, but ours isn't either. To be completely honest, this place is just not safe for ranger children. They're born to fight, being trained from the moment they can slightly understand what's going on. In your dimension, evil is gone. Your children will be able to grow up to be like other children, with a few advantages. If I could, I would trade places with you in a heartbeat, but my people need me and this child only gives me more reason to fight, in the hope that maybe we can defeat evil and this child can live a normal life… or at least as normal as the life of a ranger child can get."

"If we stay here, it would mean no Matt." Ashley said, smiling at the thought of her baby brother who was almost able to speak whole sentences.

"No Jeff's band." Cassie added.

"No Tessa." TJ thought out load.

"No watching KO-35 grow again." Andros spoke.

"No soccer." Aaron grimaced.

"No mom." Andrew reflected.

"No ranger status making me more popular than I already was." Andrea said, dreamily, making the others want to gag.

"No freedom." Karone smiled softly.

"No time to really relax." Zhane smirked.

"But most of all…" TJ grinned.

"We'd miss our graduation." He, Cassie, Andrew, Aaron and Ashley said in unison, bursting out laughing.

"You're right. Our dimension isn't as bad as it looked." Andrew agreed before sighing. " Guess we'll go say our goodbyes."

A/N: Hope you liked it. Yes, you read it right, the end is near, but not to worry, I plan to have a few more chapters.
