Disclaimer: The drabbles are mine, the idea isn't. If you can't figure it out from the summary, the challenge was up on Ars Amatoria. Oh, and I don't own the Power Rangers.

Ashley Hammond/Astro Yellow: You were right, this isn't hard at all! It's fun:D

Jessica01: Thanks. This is pretty different for me too, but I like it.

Song

She sings every morning. Most of the songs I recognize. They're the ones that have always been her favorites, and she's sung them almost everyday for years. Others are newer, usually love songs, and they only last a week or so.

There's just one song I don't know. I've never heard the tune anywhere else, and the running water of the shower and the way the sound echoes against the walls always distorts the sound just enough so that I can't make out the words. I don't care that I can't hear the words, her voice really is beautiful no matter what.

There's something about the way she sings that one song that makes me wish I knew what it was. I wish I knew what about that one song makes her voice so sweet and pure.

The sound of running water stops suddenly, and the last note echoes clearly against the tile of the shower. Just as it dies away, the bathroom door opens, and Ashley steps into our room, a towel wrapped snugly around her body and a sunny smile on her face.

"Hey," she says brightly. Instead of going to the closet, she comes and wraps her arms around me. "I love you."

"I love you too, Ash," I whisper, my arms going around her. I'm lost in her eyes before I know it, but I don't care. "What were you singing?"

"You heard that?" she exclaims, blushing immediately.

I have to laugh at her reaction. "You do know the bathroom isn't soundproof?"

Ashley groans quietly and buries her face against my chest, mumbling words I can't hear. I just hold her, completely surprised. She's never been shy, and I've heard her sing with Cassie all over town.

:She pulls back a moment later, her face still beet red. "Andros? It was only that song you heard, right?"

I hesitate. I don't want to lie to her, but I don't want to embarrass her anymore than I already have, so I do nothing, and she seems to figure it out for herself.

"You heard all of it, then," she mumbles.

"Ash, I've always heard you," I finally admit, wondering what I've done wrong. "I thought you knew."

She slowly shakes her head and stares down at the carpet. There are tears in her eyes now, and I just hold her as she lets them fall. I don't think she cries much, but it's still my fault that she's upset, and I wish now that I'd just kept my mouth shut.

"I'm sorry, Ash," I whisper. "I didn't meant to upset you."

"Then why didn't you ever say anything?" she asks, her voice smaller than I've heard it in years. "I wouldn't have kept doing it if I knew."

"I thought you knew I could hear," I say again, now feeling completely horrible.

"Well, I didn't know," she mumbles. "Even if you thought I knew you could hear, why didn't you ever say anything? Ever tell me to stop?"

"Why would I want you to?" I ask, surprised. "You have a beautiful voice, Ash."

"But that's when I'm really singing," she says softly. "I'm just fooling around in there."

"It doesn't matter," I insist. "You still sound beautiful."

"Thanks, I guess," she says, a small smile forming on her face.

"So, what were you singing?" I ask again.

She blushes again, her cheeks flushing bright pink as she hesitates. "Just something I made up ages ago," she says finally. "It's nothing."

"It's not," I say. "Or you wouldn't sing it every morning."

"It's dumb, anyway," she insists. "Just some sappy love song I made up years ago."

"Would you... sing it for me?" I ask hesitantly. "Just once? I can never hear the words..."

Ashley looks tremendously relieved to hear that. "Maybe someday," she says slowly. "If you'd want to hear it."

"I want to hear it," I say instantly. "Really, Ash. I do."

"I'll sing it for you someday, then," she agrees.

"You'll keep singing, won't you?" I ask suddenly.

"I..." She shifts uncomfortably, and I sigh.

"Don't stop," I plead. "Promise me you won't."

She hesitates. "It means that much to you? Just hearing me?"

I nod instantly. "I'll never say anything about it if you don't want me to, Ash. Just promise me you'll never stop singing."

Her smile is almost shy for a minute or two, but then she nods happily. "I promise."
