Chapter 2: Perfect Night

A few weeks after Andros and Ashley arrived on KO-35, Andros decided to show Ashley around KO-35 without all the damage.

As they walked around the city, Andros had his arm wrapped around Ashley's waist. "It's so beautiful," she murmured. He kissed the side of her head with a smile on his face.

"Yeah, it's not so bad without the damage," he commented.

She placed her head on his shoulder with a smile on her face. Andros held her hand and kissed the top of it. "I told you that my parents just love you," he commented.

"Yeah, I guess you're right," she agreed.

Andros pulled Ashley closer to him as they continued to walk around the city. "Andros, you never mentioned that you had royal status," Ashley commented. He shrugged his shoulders.

"I rarely tell anyone of my royal status," he answered.

"How come?"

"Because usually when I would comment about my royal status, I'm treated differently."

She smiled as she closed her eyes. "But you see I'm not," she pointed out. He kissed the top of her head.

"Because you're different from everyone else," he answered.

"Should I consider that a good thing?"

"A very good thing."

Ashley lifted her head from his shoulder as they stopped and sat down. "So all this time, I've been dating the heir to the Karovan throne," she commented. Andros chuckled as he kissed her hand again.

"Is that a bad thing?" He asked.

"Could be."

"Yeah?"

Ashley laughed and held onto his hand. "So, how do you like KO-35?" He asked. Ashley smiled as she looked around.

"I could get used to it here," she replied.

Andros smiled. "Good, that's what I was hoping you'd say," he answered. Ashley looked at him confused.

"What are you talking about?" She asked.

The former Red Space Ranger took a deep breath as he thought about what he was told do when it came to this. Andros got down onto one knee, pulled out a ring from his jacket pocket, and held her hand. "Ashley Hammond of Earth, will you marry me?" He asked. Ashley felt her heart stop at his proposal. Andros just sat there waiting for her answer. A tear fell down Ashley's face as she nodded her head furiously.

"Yes…yes…yes…yes!" She replied.

Andros placed the ring onto her finger and hugged her tight. Ashley hugged him back and laughed when he picked her up and spun her around. However, the moment was broken when they heard thunder in the distance. "Well, we better hurry back," he commented. Ashley nodded and held onto Andros's hand as they tried to beat the storm as they got back to the palace.

That night, the lightning flashed and the thunder boomed, making Ashley wake up from her sleep. The one thing she hated about her large room, the thunder seemed to echo. She bit her lip as she looked down at her left hand to see her engagement ring almost wink at her with the lightning flashing. She let out a sigh as she got out of bed and pulled on her robe. She really wanted to be with Andros so she snuck out of her room and walked down the hall towards Andros's room.

Ashley slowly opened the door to Andros's room and found the Red Ranger still asleep. She shook her head and tried to keep herself from laughing. Andros could sleep through anything, if he could when they were Rangers he would've slept through a whole fight. She slowly made her way to Andros's bed. She pulled her robe off and placed it on the chair in the corner. She got into the bed and kissed him gently on the lips. Andros stirred and opened his eyes. "Ashley? Are you okay?" He asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," she replied.

She flinched when another thunder echoed throughout the room. "Don't like storms I see," he commented.

"Not really," she replied.

She stared into his eyes with a small smile before leaning forward and kissing him. Andros wrapped his arm around her waist. Ashley put her hand on his shoulder and pulled him on top of her. He pulled back and pressed his forehead against hers. "You sure?" He asked. She nodded slowly and entwined her fingers with his.

"More sure than anything in my life," she replied.

Andros kissed her again not knowing that his parents were planning on trying to get rid of Ashley.

Andraya had seen Ashley sneak out of her room and into Andros's room. She took a small peek inside and she felt disgust go through her veins when she saw what was happening between her son and the earth girl. She quietly closed the door and went into her room.

Caspar woke up when he heard Andraya close their bedroom door. "What is it?" He asked. Andraya removed her robe and sat next to her husband on the bed.

"Our son is having relations with the earth girl," she informed.

Caspar sat up in shock. "What?" He demanded. She nodded her head slowly. Caspar rubbed his forehead. "We must get rid of her and get rid of her fast before he starts to do something irrational," he informed.

"She will be gone and our son will marry a Karovan. Earth blood will not taint the bloodline," she assured him.
"We only allow Karone because she's not use to our customs and she's not the heir. Andros needs a Karovan girl to give him the proper heir. That girl will not give him what he needs."

"I agree with you, but we have to wait until Andros comes to us to talk. We don't go to him."

Caspar leaned back against the headboard and let out a small growl. "She won't be here for much longer, Caspar, I promise," Andraya assured him. The king of KO-35 nodded his head slowly.

"My son is making a mistake and its our duty to get rid of that mistake," he agreed.
