A Few Days Later
Since they had decided to spend a few extra days in Mexico, they were not going to stop in Texas. They should be in Florida in a couple of days.
At the moment they were driving through Texas.
Billy had already informed Tanya that the project had been successful and she was about to go tell Ashley who was laying down in the back room.
"Hey Ashley, how's it going," Tanya asked.
"Ok, I guess," she answered.
"I have something that will definitely cheer you up," Tanya told her.
"O, what is it," Ashley asked with curiosity.
"Well there's a way you could talk to Andros," Tanya informed her.
"How," Ashley exclaimed now fully awake.
"With these things," Tanya answered as she showed her the devices.
Ashley sat there in shock.
"Do you want to call him," Tanya asked, out of the blue.
"Of course, it's just I don't know what to say," she confessed, "I mean, do I tell him I'm pregnant with his child."
"He does deserve to know," Tanya said.
"I know," Ashley replied.
"Do you want to live with him," Tanya asked her.
Ashley simply nodded.
"Then that's what you tell him," Tanya advised her.
After a few moments Ashley said, "Your right; now how do you use this thing?"
It only took a few minutes before Ashley new how to use it. She was almost there. Soon she will not only be able to talk to Andros, but she will also be able to see him.
On KO-35
Andros was, once again, sitting on a chair reading over some files.
"Hey Andros," he heard Zhane call him, "guess what your doing today."
"Working," Andros replied.
"No, you're going on a blind date with this girl who used to have a crush on you a few years ago," Zhane told him.
"Look Zhane, I appreciate your effort, but I don't want to go date, ok," he replied.
"Not ok & you are going," Zhane said, sternly.
He had left the room before Andros could respond. 'He's going to have to drag me out of here if he really expects me to go,' he thought to himself.
Just then a red light started flashing, letting him now that there was someone trying to make contact with them.
On Earth
'O I hope this works,' Ashley thought to herself.
On KO-35
'Wonder who that could be,' Andros thought to himself, 'guess there's only one way to find out.'
When he opened communications, he was stunned beyond belief. There staying back at him was Ashley.
"Ashley," he whispered so softly that she almost didn't hear him.
"Hi Andros," she said, more cheerful then she had been in weeks.
"But how," he asked, still stunned but also overjoyed.
"Lets just say I have some pretty smart friends," she replied.
Andros just stared at her, fondly.
"So what's up," she asked, trying to start a conversation.
"Not munch, I've really missed you; all I've been doing is work lately to keep my mind off of things," he confessed.
"You know you shouldn't burry yourself in your work," she told him with a smile.
"I know," he said, also with a smile. 'She's always thinking of others,' he thought to himself. 'I can't believe how much I love her.
"I've missed you too," he heard Ashley say through his thoughts.
"How have you been, and where are you," he asked, not recognizing what was behind her.
"Well, I guess I'm alright, and I'm in an RV which is a mobile home sort of; I'm with some former rangers," she told him.
Andros wasn't totally convinced that she was telling the whole truth so he asked, "Are you alright?"
"Not really," she confessed.
"What's wrong," he asked very concerned.
Before she could tell him that she wants to live on KO-35 with him, Zhane voice was heard.
"Hey Andros, your date's here," he called out, not knowing how much damage he was about to do.
"You have a date," Ashley asked with a hurt expression on her face.
Before he could deny, she said, "why didn't you just tell me," as she held back tears. With that she cut the transmittion.
Andros could not believe what just happened. He was going to kill Zhane, but he was to upset to move. All he could do was cry.
Zhane came in a few moments later. He was about to tell him to hurry up when he noticed Andros was crying.
"Hey what's wrong, do you not want to do that badly," he asked, surprised.
"Do you have any idea what you just did," Andros asked him, in a hushed tone.
"Um, well, I," he stated, not exactly sure what Andros was talking about.
"I was talking to Ashley; she called and I think something was wrong; but she turned off communication when she heard you say my date was hear; I've never seen her look so hurt; dammitt Zhane, I told you before I didn't want to go," with that, Andros stormed out of the room leaving a very shocked Zhane behind.
Karone came in a little while later to see what was going on, and Zhane told her the whole story.
"See I told you this was a bad idea, you idiot," she told him.
"Well I didn't think this would happen," he said in response.
After a few moments past with neither of them saying a word, she asked "Well, what do we do now?"
Well what do you all think? I wanted to make it longer, but guard practice was brutal today, and I'm tired.
