Author's Note: I know my lovelies, TWO UPDATES IN TWO DAYS! What can I say? When inspiration comes I'm at it's mercy. *Giggles*


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

A Gearhead's Life:

Maraja Sargasso: Love the interest, okay any suggestions or prompts I take into consideration.

A Blissing in Disguise:

BearfootTruck: Very nice. Okay then do both. Have the characters play off Sonouge and TodoDeku. elijahhedgemond's suggestion was Zhane talk to Ashley. Well Carlos is upset on Ashley's behalf, it's obvious why. Yes, Ashley is taking these news very poorly. OH MY DAMN CHERRY BLOSSOMS! LOOKING FORWARD TO SUNDAY NOW! What's the occasion? Or is it just inspiration at random?

elijahhedgemond: It really has, Carlos wants Andros's head. Oh another reminder, Power Rangers one-shot: When Bad Knows Better wanting your thoughts.


"ASHLEY PLEASE?!"

Cassie begs as Ashley runs into bedroom, locking the metallic door. Soft sobs reach the singer's ears. "Come on Ash, I'm not denying what you saw, okay. Andros and I- we knew it wrong. Ash you're my sister in all this, I didn't mean to hurt you."

The ravenette sighs, sliding her backside against the door. With nothing else, she waits for (guessing) former best friend talk to her.


MEANWHILE WITH THE GUYS. . .

Carlos had calmed down, but TJ not risking it sits next to him just in case. As the furious Black ranger glares at their injured leader, watching a bloody faced Zhane still unwraps the bandages. The gloomy silence is finally broken by said Silver ranger getting thrown a clean towel. Catching it, more surprised it was Carlos himself whom tossed at him. They silently nod to one another, as Zhane continues helping his best friend like brother.

Deep chocolate brown eyes conflicted, looking away from Carlos. He grabs the note pad and pen, the only sounds that fill the Medical Bay. As Andros finishes, he snaps the fingers of his left hand. TJ watching Carlos carefully, move across the room to Andros. Zhane completely focused on his task. The brown blond striped haired leader offers the ripped note to Carlos. At the same time TJ spots another on the floor.

"Carlos."

The former soccer player takes the other note from the strong blue ranger. Reading both notes back to back, he releases a struggling sigh. Looking straight into Andros's apologetic frown.

"I know. I just can't stand seeing Ashley hurt. She loves you, and Cassie with you just. . . I'm sorry to you too Zhane."

He smirks it off, "I've had worse from enemies. You were defending the honor of your heart." We are cool."

Carlos smiles in relief, and bit embarrassment shakes his left with Zhane's right hand. TJ smiles as Andros and Carlos do the same.

"Any one besides me hungry?"

All 3 smirk at TJ. Carlos follows the dark skinned guy out the Medical Bay. More then likely heading down to Angel Grove's local hang out Surf Spot. Finally alone, Zhane helps to undress Andros, into the light red sweat suit.

"You know when you get your voice back, talk to Ashley."

Andros nods completely agreeing.


WITH THE HEARTBROKEN SISTERS. . .

Cassie falls backwards, as Ashley's bedroom door slides open. The ravenette's hopefully smile vanishes at seeing the Yellow Space ranger, her white gloved hands clenched into shaky fists.

"Get up, meet me outside."
