Chapter 13: Not Losing her too

Andros sighed as he looked over scanners. Ever since Astronema sent out the Psycho Rangers, things have been very tense around the Megaship. Ashley came onto the bridge and rubbed her forehead. "Hey," she murmured. Andros lifted his head.

"Hey," he answered.

Ashley sat next to him and rubbed her forehead. "You okay?" He asked. Ashley nodded.

"Yeah…yeah I'm fine," she replied.

He reached over and held her hand. "We'll defeat the Psycho Rangers," he assured her. She nodded her head and placed her head in her hands.

"You sure you're okay?" He asked.

"Yeah…just not feeling well," she replied.

Andros pushed some hair out of her face and saw that she was a little pale. "Why don't you go lie down for a bit? I can take over checking the systems," he suggested.

"No, I'm okay. Just this thing going on between Cassie and me," she answered.

"You sure?"

"Yeah."

Andros watched as she got up and left the bridge.

After awhile, TJ came in with Ashley in tow. "Sit down," he instructed. Andros glanced at Carlos before walking over to them. "You too," TJ told Cassie. Cassie next to Ashley, but the two girls sat back to back. "Now listen, neither one of you are getting up until we talk this out," TJ informed. Both girls were silent. "Well?" He asked. Just then, Cassie looked at them with a slight glare.

"Well, I've been cleaning this ship everyday," she informed.

"We've all had to clean," Ashley pointed out.

"And that gives you the right to mess it up?"

"We live here. It gets dirty."

"Yeah we live here, but we're not…"

TJ had enough. "Quiet," he snapped. Andros just stared at the two girls in disbelief. "Both of you are acting like two-year-olds. You're best friends," he reminded.

"Yeah right," Ashley mumbled.

"I don't think so," Cassie answered.

While TJ started to lecture them, the alarms started to go off. "What's going on DECA?" Andros asked.

"The Pink Psycho Ranger is in Angel Grove," DECA informed.

"Let's go," Andros told them.

They ran towards the jump tubes.

Andros was fighting Psycho Pink when he saw Psycho Yellow trick Ashley and kidnapped her. "ASHLEY!" He shouted. His eyes widened in horror when he watched his wife get dragged down under ground. He ran over to the spot where Cassie was kneeling on the ground. "We have to get back," Andros informed wanting to start finding Ashley immediately.

"What about Ashley?" Cassie asked.

"We'll find her," Andros replied.

He helped Cassie stand and they went back to the Megaship.

Andros immediately went to the computers. "DECA scan for Ashley's signal," he instructed.

"Scanning now," DECA informed.

Andros walked over to the computers and looked over the scans. "Where are you, Ashley?" He whispered. He bit his lip and felt his heart hammering hard in his chest as he went to find his wife. "I can't believe this. I'm not losing her again," he pondered.

(Somewhere in Angel Grove)

Ashley ran through the warehouses and she saw gasoline sitting beside her and looked up to see Psycho Yellow and Psycho Pink fighting it out. She stood up. "LISTEN UP YOU PSYCHOS! I'LL NEVER GIVE INTO YOU! NEVER!" She shouted. Her eyes widened when Psycho Pink threw a blast and it blew the canisters up. "ANDROS!" She shouted as she flew back and hit the wall. She quickly winced when she felt the flames fly by her. She got up and she ran through the backdoor.

Once she made it out, she fell to the ground. "I really have to stay away from explosive buildings though," she commented. She looked at the cuffs on her wrist. "I have to get rid of these cuffs," she mumbled. She let out a sigh as she stood up, but she was thrown off her feet when Psycho Pink found her.

Ashley hit the ground and she felt dizziness hit her hard between feeling ill again and from hitting the ground. She looked up when Psycho Pink charged at her, but she saw a blast hit her. She looked up to see Cassie flying on her Galaxy Glider towards her. "CASSIE!" She called.

"Grab on," Cassie answered.

She grabbed Ashley's hand and pulled her up on her Galaxy Glider. They jumped down and Ashley let out a sigh. "Are you okay?" Cassie asked.

"Yeah," she replied.

Ashley looked up when Andros and the others came. "Ashley, you okay?" He asked. Andros helped her off the ground.

"Yeah," she replied.

"Hold your arms out," TJ instructed.

TJ used his Astro Axe and freed Ashley's wrists. Andros was thrown off his feet from Psycho Pink's blast and he looked up to see Ashley and Cassie beat Psycho Pink.

When they got back to the Megaship, they sat down and ate while talking about Psycho Pink's defeat. "The odds would be even better if we could find out their next plan," TJ commented.

"Maybe we can. Let's go check the scanners," Carlos suggested.

"Don't worry you guys, I'll take care of this," Cassie informed.

They nodded and walked towards the bridge. Ashley got up and started to help her. "Hey, it's my night, you don't have to help," Cassie commented.

"No, I don't mind," Ashley answered.

"No, Ashley, it's not fair to you."

Cassie grabbed the plate. "Cassie, I want to help," Ashley insisted.

"I don't need your help," Cassie answered.

"Let me help."

"No."

"Come on!"

"No."

TJ, Carlos, and Andros came back in. "Hey, that's enough," TJ told them. The two girls looked at him. "Don't worry about the cleaning, we'll do it," TJ informed. Ashley could almost laugh at the look on Andros's face.

"We will?" Andros and Carlos asked in unison.

"Yes," TJ replied.

Ashley walked by Andros and tried to stop herself from laughing as she and Cassie walked down the hall. "Now that was perfect," she commented.

"Absolutely," Cassie agreed.

The two girls laughed as they walked down the hall. "So how are you feeling?" Cassie asked. Ashley shrugged her shoulders.

"Doing better. I'm a little nauseas after I eat, but I'm good," Ashley replied.

Cassie wrapped her arm around her shoulders. "I was on my way to the infirmary when TJ dragged me to the bridge," Ashley commented. Cassie grinned.

"Well, let's go there now and find out what's up with you," she suggested.

"Good idea," Ashley agreed.

The two best friends went to the infirmary.
