Andros' Daughter
Disclaimer: Don't own the Power Rangers. Just Eris and her friends!
Summary: It's seventeen years after the Countdown to Destruction and the rangers get together for a reunion and they bring their families. Eris Morana Yanisin is Andros and Ashley's first born child. And their daughter. Very slight Ashley bashing, more Andros bashing. R&R for me please!
AN: So sorry about being late with the updates! My town got hit by a really bad winter storm and the power was out. Then the Internet was down for me and I couldn't access the Internet to update! I liked writing this chapter a lot because towards the end, Andros starts to thaw! Happy day! Hope ya like it!

Elektra smiled as blush colored her cheeks. "I know you won't." Teddy joined his teammates and the former rangers went forward to congratulate the members of the new team.
Now...
Chapter 12- Their First Date
Teddy was sitting at the computers on the Bridge when Walt asked, smiling at his friend. "So when are you gonna ask Elektra out?"
Teddy gave Walt a look. "You're kidding right? She's way out of my league!"
Walt shook his head. "No way, bro. She's into you."
Teddy raised an eyebrow. "How do you know that?"
Walt smiled. "It's in the way she looks at you. She's got this cute little smile on her face and her eyes just light up when you walk into a room. Ask her out!"
"Ask who out?" The guys turned around and saw Elektra's mother, Ashley, standing behind them.
Walt said, grinning at Teddy. "Teddy here wants to ask Elektra out on a date."
Ashley smiled and said, patting Teddy's shoulder. "You should. She likes you, Teddy."
Teddy let out a breath and got up. "Right." He started walking away, turned around to say something to Walt and Ashley, but shook his head and left the bridge.

Elektra was checking on the engines when Teddy walked in. She smiled briefly at him before going back to the engines. Teddy walked over to her and asked, making her blush.
"Hey, Elektra, would you- I mean you don't have to but- I mean, god this is hard." Elektra blinked her large brown eyes at Teddy and he asked, all in one breath. "Wouldyougoonadatewithme?"
Elektra asked, a slight smile playing on her lips. "What was that?"
Teddy sighed and asked. "Would you go out on a date with me?"
Elektra smiled and replied, blushing. "I'd love to."
Teddy smiled and said, backing out of the Engine Room. "Great! I'll-" He back into the wall and Elektra smiled. "We'll go to dinner and take a walk in Angel Grove Park?" Elektra nodded and Teddy left, a grin plastered to his face.
Elektra was walking to her room when Karen and Cami grabbed her arms and dragged her into Cami's room. Elektra asked, confused.
"What are you doing?"
Karen and Cami grinned. "You're going on a date with Teddy!"
Elektra blushed and couldn't help smiling. "I know." Karen smiled and the girls started laughing.
Elektra said, looking at the clock. "Oh god! We're leaving for our date in an hour!"
Karen said, as she and Cami lept to their feet. "No worries! We'll help you get ready!"
Elektra bit her lower lip and couldn't help the smile that crossed her face. Cami hugged her and they went to Elektra's room.

Teddy was on the bridge, pacing. His parents were just grinning at each other and Tammie was trying not to laugh, which wasn't helping. His date with Elektra was supposed to start ten minutes ago. Andros was leaning against one of the control panels and said, making Teddy stop and the other rangers, who were on the bridge, glare at him.
"She's just going to break your heart in the end."
Teddy glared at Andros. "No, I refuse to believe that."
Cami and Karen walked onto the bridge and Cami said, smiling. "Karen and I would like to present . . . Elektra of KO-35." They stepped aside and when Elektra walked in, Teddy stopped breathing.
Elektra's blonde hair was curled and a small part of it was pulled back and pinned up with bobby pins into a part pony tail. She had caramel colored eye shadow, black eyeliner, black mascara, and light pink lip gloss.
Tammie grinned at Elektra and said, standing next to her. "Wow. You've managed to shut my brother up. I'm impressed."
Elektra smiled and replied, twisting her fingers together. "Thanks, Tammie."
Tommy rolled his eyes at Kim before going over and elbowing his son forward. Teddy walked over to Elektra and said, handing her a single red rose.
"This is for you."
Elektra smiled and Cami said, smiling at her cousin and her cousin's date. "Well, you better get going. You're dinner reservation is in ten minutes."
Teddy's eyes widened. "Crap!"
Elektra shook her head and said, smiling. "DECA, two to teleport to Angel Grove."
"Teleporting now. Elektra and Teddy left the Megaship and landed in Angel Grove.
Teddy smiled at Elektra and took her hand. Elektra felt electricity shoot up her arm when Teddy took her hand and she liked the feeling.
Teddy led her into his favorite restaurant and they were immediately led to their table. Teddy helped Elektra into her chair and sat in his. Their waitress came up to their table and asked, smiling at them. "Hello. I'm Cara and I'll be your waitress tonight. What can I get you to drink?"
Elektra said, smiling. "I'll have a cherry soda."
Teddy smiled at Elektra. "I'll have the same."
Cara smiled. "Alright, I'll be back in a minute with your drinks." Cara left and Elektra asked, looking at the menu.
"What do you recommend?"
Teddy smiled and replied, taking her slender hand in his. "The Fettuccine Alfredo."
Elektra looked up at Teddy and asked, smiling shyly at him. "Is it good?"
"Delicious. We can share a plate." Elektra smiled and when Cara came back with their drinks, Teddy ordered a large plate of the Fettuccine Alfredo pasta.
When it came, Elektra looked at it curiously. It looked like flat noodles with white stuff on it. Teddy smiled and said, twirling some of the pasta onto his fork.
"Trust me, it tastes better that you think it looks."
Elektra smiled and softly uttered the phrase she swore she would never say to anyone else after her friends died. "I trust you." Teddy knew what a hard thing it was for her to trust after what she had been, and was going, through.
Teddy smiled and said, lifting her hand and kissing the back of it. "Thank you." Elektra nodded and Cara came back with their pasta dish.
Elektra and Teddy were almost finished with their shared pasta. They were each sucking on a strand of pasta when their lips met. It felt . . . right, for Elektra's lips to be touching Teddy's. She pulled back slightly and Teddy took her chin between his thumb and forefinger before he kissed her softly. When he pulled away, Elektra looked . . . happy. She bit her lower lip and Teddy paid for their dinner before he took her hand and they went to Angel Grove Park.

Up on the Megaship, Ashley, Cami, Karen, Kim, Tommy, and Tammie were watching Teddy and Elektra's date. Cami said, smiling.
"He makes her happy in a way that not even I or our friends from the Academy could make her happy. I'm so happy for her."
Ashley replied, tears filling her eyes as she watched her daughter talk with Teddy. "I've never seen her this happy before."
Cami hugged her aunt and replied, looking up at her. "No one's seen her this happy in a long time."
Kim wrapped an arm around the younger woman's shoulders and said, smiling partially. "You'll form a new, stronger relationship with Elektra, Ashley, but it will take time. It took Tommy and I the year before and the year of Teddy's birth to get our relationship back to where it had been, but it was also changed because as people, we had grown and our bond is better than ever."
Ashley looked at the first Pink Ranger. "But you didn't blatantly ignore Tommy. You broke up with him."
Tommy said, looking at his friend's successor. "She may not have ignored, but it sure felt like it and it hurt like hell when she broke up with me. I thought I was the one that had done something wrong. It took me a long time to trust her again, but when I did, it was all worth it. We've been together ever since."
Ashley nodded. "I guess there is hope for our relationship." Kim smiled and hugged the younger woman as Andros walked in.
Andros froze when he saw how happy his daughter was. He had never seen her smile, mainly because he had never taken the time to just watch his daughter, take in who she was; who she had become.
Her smile reminded Andros a lot of Ashley before they'd had their family. Her eyes were . . . her eyes were his mother's eyes with flecks of blue and green in them. Andros bowed his head. Kinwon was right. He didn't deserve his daughter. His parents would be so ashamed of him if they knew how he had treated his daughter.
Andros felt tears stinging his eyes. He couldn't believe he had acted like such an idiot; such a jerk to his flesh and blood. He left the bridge without alerting the five watching Elektra to his presence. He retreated to his room where he laid on his bed and thought about the past sixteen years...

Elektra and Teddy walked along Angel Grove Lake, holding hands. Elektra had her head on his shoulder as they walked. Teddy smiled down at her and kissed the back of her hand again. Elektra bit her lip and smiled.
Teddy said, looking at his watch. "We should get back to the Megaship."
Elektra smiled and replied, nodding. "Yeah, ok."
Teddy looked down at her full lips and then up at her eyes. She blinked slowly and Teddy leaned down and kissed her softly. Elektra's eyes slowly shut and Teddy pulled her closer.
Elektra wrapped her arms around his neck and the breeze whipped around them gently. Teddy and Elektra came up for air and she smiled at him. "I guess this means we're dating?"
Teddy smiled, nodding slowly. "We're dating." Elektra hugged him and DECA teleported them up to the Bridge.
Teddy and Elektra saw their families watching them and Elektra raised an eyebrow. Kim walked over to her and said, hugging her. "Welcome to the family."
Elektra, who still wasn't comfortable with hugs, patted Kim gently on the back. It dawned on Elektra what Kim said and Elektra asked, looking at the older woman.
"What do you mean by that?" Kim only smiled.
