Disclaimer: Not mine, not my idea, just my words making a drabble.

Arwennicole: Thanks. I planning on doing all 40 of them.

Isinha: No, you're not an idiot. I know what you mean. I've been trying to throw Ashley into the nearest black hole, but I can't because she's my favourite ranger. sighs

Mz. Daydream: Go for it.

Phantom Rogue: Wow, you're actually at the bottom of the list for once. You'd better start yours soon or feel the wreath of the Zodiac and the Elements. I think I'll keep writing one person POV's, switching between Andros and Ashley every chapter.

Summary: Ars Amatoria's Ranger Romance Theme challenge; 24. Sacrifice.

Sacrifice

Sacrifices, I know all about them. I've made so many in the past two years and there have been made some for me.

The one that still fills my heart with joy and my eyes with tears was made for me, truly for me alone, came from Andros. I still can't believe he gave up everything he fought for just to be with me.

In the following weeks I saw the growing longing in his eyes, he truly missed his planet. He never mentioned it and I envy his strength and determination.

His pain was not for long as his sacrifice was met by one of me.

Ever since we returned to Earth permanently, I've felt like I was a caged animal, longing for freedom. It was an oppressing feeling and it was slowly suffocating me. It was the worst feeling in the world and it led me to make my biggest sacrifice yet.

After graduating High-school, I sacrificed my dream of college and with that a fairly secure future for an insecure life on a rebuilding KO-35.

It hurt my family to see me leaving, but they never said a thing. I'm glad for that. I don't think I could've gone through with it if they did.

As I now lay here in Andros's arms and think of the past two years, all the sacrifices I've made. I think that if I could do it all over again, the only think I'd change is meeting Andros earlier. Andros makes every sacrifice worth the trouble and pain.

I can't believe I ever made it without him, but one think I know is that Andros is worth every sacrifice and I'd do everything to be with him.

I wonder what the future has in store for us.
