Beyond Your Control

Disclaimer: Still don't own any of the Power Ranger characters, except for Tommy, who I created.

Summary: AU What if a young girl fell in love with a guy from another world and he asked her to come back with him? Will she have the strength to give up everything she's even known to be with him?

Note: I am soooooo sorry about the last confusion. I posted the wrong story. I'm posting this story on two different websites under two different categories. I really didn't mean to confuse you. Thank you to Ashley Hammond Astro Yellow and Star Fata who pointed it out!

Chapter Two: Killing Me Softly

Numbly I sat there, desperately trying to make sense of what he had just asked. I'm asking you to come with me. I'm asking you to marry me. We had only recently become friends and now he wanted me to give up everything I've ever known and go live with him on KO-35…permanently. We barely knew each other. Did he even realize what he was asking?

Breathing heavily, I hurriedly sat up and paced the room, my arms self-consciously wrapped around my waist. I had never felt this way about anyone. I had always imagined I would fall for someone normal…from earth. But ever since I met Andros, no matter what I said, I couldn't deny the attraction. But for him to suddenly purpose…

"You can't be serious!" I shook my head, unable to look at him as I kept pacing. "We're only twenty-one years old."

"What's that got to do with it? According to Jeff, age is just a number."

"I barely know you." My voice dropped several notches.

"Ashley." Unexpectedly he grasped my hands and pulled me close. "I love you."

My throat tightened as I squeezed my eyes closed.

"I can't…" A stab of pain tore through my heart as I turned away. "I can't be with you like that. My place is here." Slowly I began walking backwards. "I have to do what's right for both of us."

His jaw muscles constricted. "Don't do this to me."

I couldn't do this anymore.

"I'm sorry, Andros."

Without another word, I fled the attic, tears streaming down my cheeks, and didn't look back.

A/N: Okay, okay, some of you are probably ready to kill me now because this was so short, but here's the deal: I've been working more hours than I used to at my job. Yes, that's no excuse, but shrugs that's the way it is. Plus, I'm really trying to balance reality and fantasy all within one story and that's hard. So I have to ask you to be patient with me as I work on the third chapter, but I could use some suggestions. Since chapter three will hopefully answer some unanswered questions, would you rather have Ellie confronted by Jake, who knows what's going on, or Jake confront Taryn and Ellie overhears their conversation? Please R&R and let me know.

Now a word of thank you to all my reviewers:

C.C.C.: Thank you so much for reading and reviewing. Yes, I will admit his asking her to marry him was fast, but hopefully the following chapter will give you some insight as to why he did that, because there is a reason.

thepoweroflove: Thank you for reviewing. Here's the next chapter, hope you enjoyed it, even though it's short.

SSL: Thank you very much for your comment, but I will admit I am at a loss as how to respond to it. Did the story plot confuse you or just irritated by the way I ended it? If it is in regards to my cliffhanger, sorry about that, comes with the writer territory.

Thank you again to all my readers. I really do appreciate all your support. Please stay tuned for chapter three. Things are about to get interesting, that I can I promise you.
