Earth- One Month Later

"O gosh, what's wrong with me," Ashley asked herself as she left the bathroom after throwing up once again. She has been getting sick every morning for the past week it seems. She figured it was just depression from losing Andros again. Or maybe it was the stomach flew. She really didn't care much.

"Ok," she sighed to herself, "if I'm not better it three days, I'll make a doctors appointment to see what's wrong."

She currently worked at one of her favorite stores at the mall to keep herself busy and to pay rent, so she had to get ready to leave before she was late. She really didn't feel up to eating breakfast, so she just got dressed and left; not even trying to look her best like she normally would.

Angel Grove Mall

Ashley was ten minutes late for work and her boss didn't seemed to thrilled about it, but she had told him how she hadn't felt very well that morning and was a bit slow. He had let it pass since he new she was a dedicated person.

She was putting some clothing items away when one of her co-workers, who she had become friends with, came up to her.

"Hey Ashley," Caroline started cheerfully, "how ya doin?"

"I'm ok," she replied back.

Caroline noticed how Ashley wasn't her normal cheery self yet again. Usually she always smiling, but during there past few weeks she seemed to be sulking. She became very worried about her.

"You sure you're ok," she asked her.

"Yes Caroline, I'm fine; don't worry about me, I'm just a bit tired, that's all," she assured her.

"Maybe you should take off, and get some rest; I'm sure John won't mind," she told her, no where near assured.

"No no, don't worry; I'm fine," she said that as she left to get something from the back.

KO-35- One Month Later

To keep his mind off recent events, Andros has buried himself in his work. This has Zhane and Karone both worried. They try to get him out, but he just keeps refusing.

"Hey man, what's up," Zhane asked him. He, of course, found him in the main control center of KO-35. He seems to be there 24-7.

"Just look over some files," Andros answered back, without tearing his eyes from the papers he was looking through.

"Well how about getting some fresh air; you can come out to lunch with me and Karone," he asked him, hoping he would actually come this time.

"No," he replied back, simply.

"O come on Andros," he pleaded, quite annoying that he was refusing once again. "Remember that thing called the outdoors?

"Andros finally looked up from his work, but it was only to glare at his best friend. He did not say anything. It was just a two second evil glare, saying he was not amused. Then he went back to reading.

Zhane couldn't take it anymore. "Ok, look man," he exclaimed, "your eventually getting out of this building, or I will have you dragged out. I think I'll just have to set you up on a date." After that was said he stormed out.

Andros didn't have a chance to refuse, but if he could have he would've. He just sat there shocked at his friend's outburst. 'I am definitely NOT going out on a date," he thought to himself. Then he returned to his work trying to block out all the pain he still felt.

Outside The Center

"Well," Karone asked her boyfriend as she saw him reappear out of the building after talking to her brother. "Is he coming with us," she asked him with a hopeful expression.

Zhane just shuck his head.

Karone sighed sadly.

"I think we should set him up or something," Zhane told her.

"Like on a blind date," Karone asked, a bit surprised that he had suggested this.

He simply nodded in return.

"You know Andros, he won't let you do that Zhane," she stated, "And even if he did, I really don't think I'll help much at all. He will probably just compare her to Ashley and you know it."

"Well we have to do something, and it's worth a shot," Zhane said in protest," We don't even have to tell him when, and just have a girl show up."

Karone looked at him as if he had gone mad.

"Ok ok, we'll just wait a week or two and see if he comes around; then we'll talk," he suggested to her.

"Ok," she sighed, giving up.

Back At The Mall

Ashley was putting some cloths on the rack when all of a sudden she became very dizzy, and started to feel nauseous. Caroline saw this and ran up to her.

"Ashley, are you ok," she asked with concern.

"Ya, I'm fine, just a bit light headed I guess," Ashley replied back.

"Come on," she said as she dragged Ashley, who was having a hard time walking, to the back lounge."

Ashley sat at the table with her face in her hands.

"You are definitely NOT fine, there is something wrong," Caroline said to her.

Ashley sat there a few more moments not paying any attention to her co-worker, until she heard her say something about a doctor.

"What," Ashley asked.

"I said 'Maybe you should go see a doctor,'" she repeated.

"No, no," she protested. "I didn't eat anything today, that's probably what it is."

"If you say so, just take it easy," Caroline told her.

"Don't worry, I will; and thanks," she said back.

Caroline smiled, leaving Ashley to get back to work.

Ashley stayed in the lounge for a little while longer. She wasn't feeling any better so she asked her boss if she could leave early. He saw how she didn't look her normal self so he let her, and she went home.

Ashley's Apartment

'Maybe there is something wrong,' she thought as another dizzy spell hit her. She sat at her kitchen table as she waited for it to pass.

Then she got up and made herself a sandwich, before making a doctors appointment. She was shedualed to go the next morning.Satisfied, she went to bed.

Well, howdid I do on thischapter? I think it's a bit longer than the others, which is what I was shooting for.
