"You mean you want to run from a battle," she asked him, still not sure if he heard him right.

"Anything to keep you and the baby safe," he responded as he placed a hand on the slight bump on her stomach.

"Please Ash," he whispered.

'She has to agree to leave; I can't lose her, I can't lose either of them,' he thought to himself.

Ashley looked Andros in the eye and could see that there were tears that threatened to poor down his face.

She new that she did not like this idea all that much, but she had to agree with Andros. It was the only way they could possibly guarantee their baby's safety, and that must come first.

Ashley sighed before placing one of her hands over his, with an assuring smile on her face.

"I will be ready to leave whenever you are," she told him with a smile on her face. "We'll go home."

Andros smiled and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. She actually agreed; he couldn't believe it.

"I'll make sure nothing happens to either of you," Andros promised. He would die before he would let anything happened to the both them. He was going to do everything in his power to keep them safe.

"I know Andros; I love you so much," she said, leaning into him with her hand still over his on her stomach.

"I love you too Ash, more than anything," he said before gently kissing the side of her forehead.

Ashley smiled one more. She new that she was doing the right thing, for all of them. She just hoped that nothing will go wrong.

"So when do you want to leave," she asked her fiancé.

'Tomorrow morning; bright and early," he said almost instantly, wanting to get Ashley as far away from Divatox as he possibly could.

Andros could only hope that she won't notice and follow them.

"Ok," she replied before leaning in for another kiss.

Once they broke apart, Andros looked over at the clock and finally noticed what time it was.

"It's practically lunch time Ash, you must be starving," he said. "What to go eat with others, they've been pretty worried about you lately."

"Well what are we waiting for, lets go," she replied, very eager not only see her friends but eat too.

Andros laughed, and grabbed her had. Together they left hand in hand to go find their friends.

The Diner

Andros and Ashley walked into the diner to find their friends already seated at a joint table.

"Hey guys," Ashley greeted them cheerfully as she and Andros went up to where they were eating.

They all greeted the both of them happily; glad to see that they were ok, and up and about.

Once they were done, Andros took a seat next to his sister as Ashley took a seat next to Carlos.

"Glad to see your ok Ash," Carlos told his best friend. He had always been like a brother to her.

"Thanks," she replied.

"So how did your girlfriend take it that you were a ranger," she then added, softly so that no one else could here.

"I think she's ok with it; it's actually better this way," he told her.

Ashley nodded. She was happy that Carlos finally found someone he could be happy with. She knew she would miss him; she was going to miss all of them.

Ashley didn't regret her decision, nor will she ever. She was looking forward to her new life with Andros on KO-35. It's were she belonged.

Ashley knew she would see all her friends again soon, and they would always stay in touch. She only wished that she could tell Cassie all that's happened to her.

To caught up in her thoughts, Ashley didn't notice Trini look over at Andros.

Andros on the other had did notice. He nodded in response, knowing exactly what she was asking.

Trini smiled. She knew this was for the best. She was just sad that she didn't get the chance to get to know the two of them better.

Later That Night

They all had a nice afternoon. Ashley got to say good bye to all her friends. She also wished Tommy, Billy, Kim, Rocky, Adam, and Aisha good luck on their mission.

It was later in the evening now, and Ashley had finished gathering of her belongings and was ready to leave in the morning.

Ashley smiled as she glanced over at the other side of the room where Andros, Karone, and Zhane were talking very quietly.

Ashley knew that they were discussing how they were going to be able to leave the Earth undetected. She also knew that they didn't want her to know that, and it hurt her in a way because it felt like they were shutting her out.

"You guys do know I can hear you, right," She said.

"Hear what," Zhane said, pretending that he was clueless.

Ashley shook her head and sighed.

Andros saw the look of hurt on her face and immediately felt guilty for trying to keep their worries from her

"Ash we just didn't want to worry you," he told her.

"Ya," was all Ashley said in response.

As Karone and Zhane quietly left the room, Andros sat down next to Ashley and put his arm around her shoulders.

Andros lifted her chin. "I don't want you to worry Ash; Trini says you need to stay calm," he told her.

She nodded. "I know you mean well; just don't shut me out please."

Andros sighed and then nodded in response.

The next thing either of them new, Elgar had appeared out of nowhere along with a dozen piranatrons. They grabbed Andros and Ashley and disappeared as if they were never there.

Hope everyone liked this chapter. Sorry for the long wait.
