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: Yes, there'll be at least one other sequel, but not yet. Still have to think of the story behind that one. Andrea is going to learn, but that won't show until the sequel, for things are still waiting to happen in this fic, making her, once again, very jealous.

Necroblade: Oh yeah, definitely a few twists waiting to happen. When I write I relax and enjoy myself, how great is that? Alright, I'll admit the Sims 2 University our computer is tempting too, but when I want to write, I write and quit everything else.

Arwennicole: Yay, you're back! And you updated too. You don't have to worry. There are going to be at least two more chapters and an epilogue.

Jenny: Nope, this was not a dream, but that is my idea of the end of one of my stories, making two stories a unreal. It's creepy to think it was only imagination.

Lucy E: Glad you liked your trip. It's okay you didn't review, for something you say is so beautiful, I'll do without it once. Hope you enjoy this chapter as much as your trip. It contains a lot of Andros/Ashley.

Chapter 17

"Take care." Dawn smiled, hugging Ashley, a few tears lingering in her eyes.

"You too, and good luck with the baby." Ashley replied. "It was great to meet you."

"You can say that again." Dawn agreed.

Then the two girls split up and walked back to their teams. Just then, the Turbo rangers came out of their shuttle.

"Everything's set to go back to Earth." Jay told Dros. "We had a great time here and I hope we'll meet again someday."

"I have no doubt we will." Dros assured them. "You don't really think you could keep the girls away from here one the baby is born, now do you?"

Jay looked over to where Sandra and Laura had now joined Dawn. One of Dawn's hands lay protectively over her still flat stomach and she was smiling brilliantly at something one of the two girls said.

"No, you're right, I don't think we will. Especially not if those two stay together." Jay joked, pointing to Vargas saying good bye to Deana, or rather, kissing her senseless.

"Time to go." Andros called. "Oh and if you ever find out a way to communicate through dimensions…"

"Don't be a stranger." Ashley finished.

"We won't." Zeyah assured.

"Deca, open the portal." Eyn ordered.

The Astro rangers turned around and a giant vortex appeared in front of them. Taking a deep breath, Andros fumbled for Ashley's hand. Once he found it, Ashley quickly twined their fingers and shot him a reassuring smile. That made Andros relax a little and together they took a step forward, into the vortex.

Taking the lead of Andros and Ashley, the other rangers followed, some shooting one last look over their shoulders.

A strange feeling hit them as soon as they entered the vortex and light assaulted their eyes. It was burning hot and ice cold at the same time. They were walking and falling and yet not moving an inch.

Ashley's grip on Andros' hand tightened and he squeezed her hand in return, assuring her everything was going to be fine, he hoped.

All of a sudden Ashley's hand was ripped out of his. He wanted to yell, but no sound came out of his mouth.

Then all was dark. He tensed immediately. He was laying on something soft and something else was draped over him. It didn't help that his arms were around something soft and warm and that it tensed too.

He opened his eyes, but he still couldn't see anything.

Without a warning, lights came on and he had to close his eyes again, just to protect them.

Whatever he had his arms around shifted.

"Andros?"

Ashley's voice sounded unsure, but it was reassuring in some way. He quickly tightened his arms around her. Carefully he opened on eye. When it didn't appear to protest against the light, he opened the other too, staring right into Ashley's dark brown ones.

"Are we home?" He asked carefully.

"This is where we were before we ended up in the other dimension." Ashley replied.

Looking past her, he smiled when he saw the familiar surrounding of his room. Deca's eye was staring down at them.

"Hey Deca." He greeted.

"Welcome back, Andros, Ashley." Deca replied. "It's good to see you are a life and well."

"What do you mean?" Ashley asked, turning back around in his arms.

"You went missing three weeks ago, vanishing in your sleep without a trace. Madisyn and Kin Won have been beside themselves with worry. Not to mention the rest of you families and friends."

Ashley looked at his over her shoulder.

"Oops."

He laughed and placed a kiss on her cheek.

"Don't worry, they'll understand." He muttered.

She leaned back and relaxed against him. He couldn't help but kiss her again. A knock on the door caught their attention.

"Are you back too?" Karone's voice accompanied the knock, sounding a bit shaken.

Andros quickly climbed over Ashley to get out of bed and within a moment he stood in front of the open door. Ashley followed him a bit slower. Karone's expression lighted the moment she saw her older brother.

She just stepped out into the hallway when the doors to the other rangers' bedrooms started to open one by one.

It was a strange sight, all the rangers standing in the hallway of the Megaship in they pyjamas. Normally they would at least be dressed in civilian clothes.

TJ rubbed his eyes sleepily.

"Man, I just had the weirdest dream." He yawned.

"Sorry, Teej." Ashley smiled slightly. "That wasn't a dream."

TJ looked at her, shocked.

"So there's really a you, somewhere out there, pregnant with Andros' baby?"

Ashley nodded, trying to keep the longing out of her eyes. She was young, yes, but so was Dawn and she might not know Andros as long as Dawn had know Dros, but the longer she thought the more appealing the idea of having a child with Andros became.

"If we really spent three weeks in another dimension, how about we go let everyone know we're back?" Cassie suggested.

"Good idea." Andros agreed. "How about we all get dressed and then we'll head down to Earth."

"What about breakfast?" Aaron asked, complaining about his probably empty stomach.

"I'm sure mom wouldn't mind making us pancakes." Andrea grinned. "Can you imagine, our counterparts in the other dimension never had mom's pancakes."

"Race ya down." Ashley challenged, dashing into her own room to dress.

"You're cheating." Aaron accused.

"And you're wasting time by pointing it out to her." Zhane called as his door closed behind him.

When Aaron looked around he noticed he was the only one still standing in the hallway.

"NO FAIR!" He made sure the others heard his yell, before entering his own room again to dress.

Five minutes later, Earth

Aaron teleported down into the hallway of the house. Noise was coming from the kitchen and dining room. From somewhere on the side of the stairs he heard TJ's voice.

"Yes, Max… No we're fine… At the Hammond's… No, Mrs Hammond is going to make us pancakes… I don't know… Yes, I'll tell you whose pancakes are better… All right, I'll drop by before dinner… Bye Max…"

Then TJ appeared, holding one of the many cordless phones that could be found all over the house so they never had to go through too much trouble to find a phone.

"Your uncle?" Aaron grinned.

"He's crazy." TJ replied with a grin. "Wanted to know if his pancakes weren't good enough, seeing we're eating here."

Aaron shook his head.

"I'm the last one here, aren't I?"

"Actually, I believe Carlos and Zhane were still missing when I went to make my phone call."

They walked into the kitchen and he had to smile. Ashley had positioned herself on the kitchen sink unit once again and was chatting happily with their mother, who was making the batter for her famous pancakes.

"Hey mom." He greeted.

"Hey sweetheart." His mother replied. "Did you have fun?"

"Not as much fun as Ash." He answered, shooting his sister a devilish grin.

Ashley stuck out her tongue, making sure their mother didn't see.

"Thanks for letting me use the phone." TJ cut in, setting the cordless down next to Ashley.

"No need, TJ. I'm sure your uncle was glad to hear off you again."

"Nah, he was more interested in knowing whose pancakes are better." TJ smiled. "Come on, Aaron, let's see if you lost or not."

When they entered the dining room, Carlos had already joined the others, but Zhane's blond hair was still missing.

"Zhane's the big loser today." TJ smirked.

"I think he's still a bit sluggish from being frozen for two years." Andros replied. "Oh no you don't."

Aaron watched Andros with interest as he ducked under the table. A moment later he reappeared with Matt in his arms. Cassie quickly made a move and plucked the little boy out of Andros' arms. Aaron laughed and soon the smell of pancakes filled the air not much later Ashley entered with the first plate of freshly baked pancakes, which she shared with Andros without any protest.

Three more plates of pancakes had been brought in by Jeff, before Zhane finally showed up.

"Sorry, I feel asleep again." He yawned, his hair still tussled.

Everyone laughed and for a once they were all having fun together.

That night

Ashley closed her eyes, letting Andros' kisses become the centre of her world once again. As he claimed her lips with his for what seemed like the thousandth time this evening, she knew.

Tonight there would be no interruptions.

Everyone was spending the night on Earth, even Zhane and Karone, but the two of them had decided to sleep on the Megaship, 'keeping Deca company'. No one had made any protest.

She hadn't expected things to go this far and further, though and while she had been scared of the idea, not a trace of that fear could be found now.

As Andros' kisses got more and more demanding, her mind shut down and her body only worked on pure instinct. There wasn't going to be any way back now and she didn't want it to be there.

Tonight they were taking another step in their relationship. After tonight, for better or worse, their relationship could never be denied ever being there anymore.

A/N: Hope you liked it. I actually got it finished in a day again. Yay for me. Review.
