Disclaimer: A ranger, child of two rangers, addicted to Power Ranger Cartoons is MINE!

Summary: Mornie utúlie. Believe and you will find a way. Mornie alantie. A promise lives within you now. He went on a mission never to return again. Or so they said.

Juzblue: Actually, this is the chapter she really meets him.

Necroblade: Evil cliffies come from evil persons. :P No need to wait any longer.

The real vampire: How could I? Easily, I tell you, want me to do it again?

Arwennicole: Here's your drugs. :P Sorry I got you addicted.

The-power-of-love: No need to wait. And yeah, I should know you that well by now, shouldn't I?

Ghostwriter: I think this is going to be the longest story I've ever written, if I don't start ending it soon. Don't worry, it's a series.

AnknaraSkysurfer: Glad you like it. Send that monster, I nicked the PRiS-zords, four Megazords against one monster, I think they can handle that just fine.

LucyE: It's okay you missed some chapters, just as long as you read them. :P Promise you won't have to wait. :puts it on mental check-list:

Jenny: Yeah, that would have been funny, but don't you think Andros' hair is pretty much a dead giveaway? I should not think, Aurora IS right in hating them, for now. Like I said to someone else, Chaitlin will be playing an important role. As for the random thingy, both Ray and Aurora have Ashley's eye-colour. I can't answer the hair comment, I'll send the answer with my next chapter.

GreenDayfan1: Stalling is my middle name, right behind evil. Yes, you can say funny, it was meant to be funny.

Phantom Rogue: Yes, was suppose to be funny, glad I got you laughing hysterically, that's what Jenny's got me doing with a lot of her reviews.

What Was Lost

Chapter 24

Every head snapped in the direction of the door as Andros and Ashley turned around. All stayed quiet and Ashley shot a look in the direction of her friends. They were all staring at the boy standing slightly behind, slightly next to Aurora. Zhane's mouth was opening and closing, but no sound was coming out.

"How?" Aurora asked weakly.

"Missing in action and dead are two entirely different things." Andros replied, a soft smile on his lips.

Andros felt Aurora's presence flare up in his mind, indicating her lowering her blocks.

"DADDY!" She yelled, happily, launching herself into Andros' arms.

Andros quickly wrapped his arms around his daughter and held her tightly.

"I missed you so much." Aurora whispered and he felt the shoulder of his shirt turn damp with her tears.

"I'm sorry soon had to be over eleven years." Andros whispered back.

For the corner of his eyes he watched Ashley hold out her hand and soon the young boy that had accompanied Aurora entered his line of sight, clinging to Ashley's side and burying his head, trying to hide. He felt Aurora shift a little and when he looked at her, she too was watching her brother fondly.

He let go of Aurora and walked over to Ashley, who had moved aside a little when Aurora had come running to him. When he reached her, he crouched a little so he was on the boy's eyelevel.

"Hey." He said softly.

The boy looked at him and then at Aurora. Then he looked at Andros again and smiled, letting go of Ashley to face him completely.

"Hey." He replied just as softly.

"I take it you're Ray?"

Ray nodded, shooting another look at Aurora.

"Sorry I couldn't be there for you, buddy. Think you can find it in your heart to let me make it up to you?"

Ray nodded fiercely. Then he bit his lip, looking at Aurora again, before carefully reaching out to hug him. Andros smiled and took the boy in his arms. His son, he really had a son and the boy actually accepted him.

"Daddy." Ray whispered softly, making his smile grown even brighter.

"Um, I hate to break this up, but…" Carlos started.

"Who the hell is that boy!" Zhane exclaimed, finally finding his voice.

"That's Ray." Ashley replied. "My son."

"OUR son." Andros corrected, grinning.

Ashley smiled at him and nodded.

"Our son."

"He wouldn't by any chance be born under the Libra sign, would he?" Cassie informed and Ashley nodded.

"Well, that solves the last piece of the puzzle." TJ sighed.

"Maybe it does, but that doesn't mean I'm happy with it." Ashley replied.

"It's not as if we can change it." Andros sighed.

"Change what?" Aurora demanded.

An long explanation later

"So me and Ray are Power Rangers?" Aurora asked in disbelieve.

"We believe so." Saryn nodded.

"Things are getting more and more ironic." She giggled.

"What things?" Karone asked.

"Ray is the son of two rangers, he's a ranger himself AND addicted to Power Ranger cartoons."

"Power Ranger Cartoons?" Andros asked.

"Yet another way of reminding people of our presence. You'd think they'd leave us alone by now." TJ sighed.

Ashley chuckled a little.

"You stayed in Angel Grove." She reminded him. "At least in Crystal Springs they accept that we're only human and want our privacy."

"What am I getting myself into?" Aurora muttered softly.

"What do you mean?" Karone asked.

"Uh…" Aurora said, shifting uncomfortably.

A/N: Hope you liked it. Another cliffy, sorry, couldn't help myself. It's my beta-readers birthday today (it's the 27th of April here) and you all better leave some birthday wishes for her (she reads your reviews too) or you'll be in big trouble. As my birthday present, this chapter is dedicated to Jenny.

Note: The next chapter will be dedicated to the person submitting the 200th review. This will be my first PR story getting so may responses.
