Review Responses (THANK YOU for taking the time too):

When Bad Knows Better:

BearfootTruck: The 3 riders playing matchmaking? Huh never thought of that concept. Well that's how I wrote her, but remember you did watch the first episode. It could be true Karone ships Andros/Cassie. Always love when we inspire each other BFT honey. I'd go with Sonouge but it is your choice. Thanks for the Favorite here.

My Blunette:

elijahhedgemond: Very glad you think so. Any guesses on what Adrigami and Lukanette find?

A Gearhead's Life:

elijahhedgemond: Cool.

Nice chapter

Missed Hanging Time:

Filip Balogh: Um sure. Anything in particular? I mean it involve Norman/Selma by default regardless. *Smug Smirk*

Mine to Have:

Im DuckMafia (Guest): Thanks for the love. Alright, no problem. Maybe the next story I update, but no promises. Remember I take suggestions or prompts.

Brown eyes scan the Angel Grove mall. After making sure Andros actually fell asleep for small nap. Here now walks the platinum blond hoping to find Ashley.

After nearly 30 minutes, crunched behind a beautiful running fountain, he uses his communicator. As luck would have it, looking right across from him unseen, is Ashley walking out with a few bags comfortably resting on her arms. He smirks to himself.

'Cassie was right. This is where she's most relaxed.'

"Hey Ashley!"

He runs up, she smiles surprised but immediately looks around them.

"Oh sorry, that was me. I couldn't find you until now. Great you got Andros some cool sweats."

He chuckles at his own joke. Ashley giggles fondly shaking her short brunette head. Handing her back one of the many bags she already holds, he leads her to the fountain. Carefully arranging the bags, she sits as he does.

"Ashley how are you and Andros doing? He's my man so I have to ask."

He tries for causal, her light brown eyes squint skeptically. Hands up slightly in surrender, but his tone too serious.

"Hey don't kill the massager! I just-"

"Just what? Came to tell me, Andros wants to break up with me?"

Ashley's voice grows as she gets upset. But she's very good at holding back tears. Zhane stares shocked she seemed to know.

"Yeah, I'm no idiot Zhane. From the first day, we met Andros, I knew Cassie had a thing for him too. Even if she was happy for us. I didn't- I guess I ignored the signs that Andros cared more her then I wanted to admit."

Her honey brown eyes glance down her black designer strapped heeled boots. Zhane gives a her unseen sad smile. The pop up off the fountain as screams are heard in the distance.

"You know I never thought I'd be happy to here that sound?"

Ashley remarks with Zhane following quickly behind her, calling in the team.

AFTER THE NOT SO THRILLING FIGHT. . .

"No sign of Darkonda."

"Cassie breath. He can't resist bragging, he'll show up. Sooner or later."

TJ states as they all head back to the Megaship. No monster of the week or Astronema just a simple police can't handle bank hostage situation. The ravenette nods absentmindedly as the blue second in command gently leads her and the team fully inside. Immediately, she rushes to hug Ashley in thanks the unprepared fashionista, drops the shopping bags. Which Cassie swipes off the floor hastily moving towards the Medical Bay.

Ashley and the guys watch Cassie after she fully disappears behind the corner. TJ grins lights shaking his head.

"That girl never waste her time does she?"

Zhane not knowing it was a rhetorical question, happily answered. As he walks on to the bridge of the Megaship.

"From what I know, when it comes to Andros, she really doesn't."

TJ and Zhane chuckle at their own smugness. Yet as the plutonium blond glances over at an unresponsive Ashley, his guilt at statement the facts is squished as he silently sees Carlos wrap his right arm around her slender shoulders. Ashley nods smiling at Carlos trying to reassure him.

"Um guys, speaking of Andros and Cassie. . . You don't think. . .?"

"That they're doing something immoral? That would be horrible to Ashley? Then no Zhane. Andros loves Ashley and Cass knows that."

No one but Zhane hears the bitterness in Carlos's voice. As TJ opens his mouth, Ashley laughs humorlessly, actually very coldly. Still not moving from under Carlos's comforting presence.

"Wow, now honestly hearing it, sounds so stupid. Sorry to say Carlos, but my love for Andros isn't returned, not like how I hoped it be."

-A/C-

"Ash really knows your taste well huh? You're looking better. Well should go get Zhane to help you undress-"

Andros's left hand shoots out, once again grabbing her right wrist. His feet carefully plant themselves in the floor. Deep chocolate brown eyes never break contact with her sharp dark brown ones as he strides closer. A long breathtaking sigh escapes her lips, as his cleaned bandaged chest lightly presses up against her.

"Andros. . . We can't- I mean Ashley is-"

Lifting a ripped note to her eye level, the smile on his face heart melting. Reading the note, she doesn't see him inching more into her. Nose to nose, as he leans his head down to her shorter frame.

"I love you too."

Their lips lock, breath mingled together. Her hands gently in his brown blond striped hair, his bigger hands grip her waist. Caressing up her shoulder blades. The note falls to the floor as the metallic sliding door opens.

Ashley's heartbroken face as the guys stare flabbergasted but honestly a mix of hotness as Andros/Cassie are wrapped up in one another to notice anything.

"I knew Cassie make you feel better. But damn Andros what a display."

Zhane's smirking voice has the passionate couple jump apart. Carlos punching Zhane in the left side of his face for that. Tho Cassie ignores that assault, swiftly helps to steady Andros as he stumbles. Her hands so close to his raw sweaty skin, Ashley looks to Cassie then Andros. Hurt honey brown eyes return to stare into Cassie's ashamed face. The former cheerleader runs from the door frame.

"ASHLEY NO WAIT!"

The ravenette runs, stops to look back at Andros. Both their faces mirroring the love but guilt feelings they share. She doesn't register Carlos has jumped Zhane with TJ and Andros trying to restraint a murderous black ranger.

"ANDROS YOU'RE NEXT!"

Carlos howls as TJ with a bloody faced Zhane now holds him back from their still injured leader.
