A/N : I don't own PR

--How to Dine, argue, giggle, kiss and make a deal

Luckily I was still alive before I considered of my own death on last battle with the red ranger. The smoke of burning wood from the fireplace greeted me. I went to my sitting position to see my current place. I was in a cave and perhaps I was still in the planet which I had visited and where I got defeated by the Red Ranger. Because when I looked outside, I saw the same sandy and windy dessert but now it was getting icy for me.

"You need to take a rest," said a being with red cloak however I could see his two coloured weird long hair because he took off his hood. "Then, you need to leave," he added.

I never realized that there were another person in the cave. He sat in front of the fireplace but we didn't face each other although the fireplace was near to me. He seemed busying himself with the fireplace, I didn't know what the hell he was doing, perhaps he roasted something for us to dine—if he was that nice. In the other side, I wondered how he did get the wood in this land of sand. It was weird.

Andros, said a voice inside my head. It was Ashley.

Ashley, where have you been. Your babyboy had scared me to death! I protested her.

Well, Sorry. She apologized. Technically, I couldn't communicate with you because I had taken control of the body for fighting your friends. It required so much energy though, so the consequence is I am not able to commuicate with you because I didn't have enough energy left to communicate. I didn't know that honestly. That's why I disappeared. She finally explained

I see, I teased her. Then I looked back to the red Ranger. He approached me with a meal platter on his both hands. He then gave me the meal on his right hand. It was the strangest meal that I had ever seen. Eventhough, I am an unknown soul—alien, or something strange, that was even stranger than I am.

"You've been so lucky that I didn't bring peace," He stated as I grabbed the meal,"...in your rest." He added—threatened me, however I wasn't afraid at all. Before eating, I sniffed the meal first. The meal was a potato-like and its color was yellowish orange—but not brighter than a sunkist and it had been peeled already. Andros served it roasted—I could see the brown from burning on the meal. I had never ate roasted potato however I had to eat that roasted meal.

I gave the plate back to him and said, "I'm not hungry." I didn't even thank him for serving a strange dine meal—I counted that as a payback of his threatening action. I put my brave face, so did he. He took back the plate fast that I could think possible. Was he mad? I didn't care.

We were silent for a moment. No conversation but the sound he made from chowing those strange food. I think he was extremely hungry. Looking at how easy he chewed the meal, I assumed that that food were softer than potato, or Was it Andros' teeth which just that strong.

The burning flame beside him made a side of his face shadowed . Suddenly, my eyes flickered to his shadowed side of his face. I wondered how tired that cute face was. Realized that I was looking at him, he shocked me, "What?" he asked," you want to eat too, huh?"

I shoke my head in refusal, but he then came to me and took a sit next to me with his plate on his lap. Later he grabbed a piece of meal with his fingers and said,"you have to eat," as he held the meal in front of my mouth like he was gonna put it on my mouth. I pushed back his hand off of me and I refuse with my statement, "I am not Ashley,"

His face expressed the expression of shock and rejected. He moved his body back from where I sat. He walked towards the cave's open enterance. I thought he was gonna leave the cave but he just sit there and staring at a couple of moon on the sky. "I knew it," he said to me.

I felt guilty for him. I didn't have to say that though. "I-I-I didn't mean to..."I hesistated but not loud.

"I miss her," he said not even louder than me but It was loud enough to hear. I saw his eyes

Ash,talk to him I urged her. She didn't respond.

Suddenly, the sound of sand tossing with a stone caught my attention, Andros walked towards me with a loud voice but not to treathened he insisted, "what do you want?" by his tone of voice, I found anger. His eyes then flickered to mine, he gazed into me fiercely. Before I answered him, he asked me once more, "are they here?" as he kept walking around me, his eyes however were still flickering at me.

"Who are they?" I asked him back. Then He placed his arms between my lap in sudden move. The anger in his eyes forced me even more fierce. "Just pretend that I am fool, okay?" he commented harshly, "ARE THE PHYSCOS HERE?"

As I heard his anger tone, I answered him to shout immidiately just after he ended his statement within no seconds,"NO THEY ARE NOT HERE. IT'S JUST ME OKAY!"

Then the shouting arguments were keep rolling between me and him.

"WHAT DO YOU WANT ? WHY ARE YOU HERE?"

"I DON'T KNOW OKAY!" I shouted at him then I repeated my sentence in mumble,"I... don't know,"

Andros walked away from me and sat in fron of me. His face lifted up to face me and to expect more story from me.

"Ashley took over the body,"I said in brief before I continued," She fought over the rest of the pshycos and left the megaship to find you. I didn't have any idea about what happened at that time, all I knew is few hours ago I got beaten by a red ranger in this strange planet. The end."

"I didn't have any idea either about WHY did she want to find you." I added.

After I explained short, Andros wrinkled his forehead and gave me serious curious,distrust, and shocked expression. I believed that I mostly knew what he was thinking about at that time. How could Ashley still 'alive'? How could she control the body? How could I control her body as well? How could two different souls remain in one same body? HOW?

Answering his unspoken questions, I spoke, "I am different." I put a clear brave voice to my statement, "I am one of a kind which you used to be in the past."

Before he added another wrinkles on his forehead, I added, " Not like other implanted soul, the previous soul still appears in my head and my mind, giving a second command although she can't move her body. Ashley is here. Listen, I have the same problem which you were dealing too. "

"I'm listening," he commented. "But, how do you know about MY PROBLEM?"

"Ashley gives me flashback, everytime I fall asleep." I said. "That is why I know you and your problem. you'd been inserted too, hadn't you?"

"Yeah, but I.."

"But you manage to break free." I cut him off.

Then he began to walk towards me, he sat down beside me in the same position where he used to sit for previous seconds ago. I was trying to run from his stare—his deadly stare. For a second, I wondered how charming he was for the first time.

"I never considered she could be that strong," he said,"Me...myself, eventhough I was succeed to be free, I have never given any flashbacks to the invaded soul in my body. Because, I wasn't strong enough to do it." Invaded—I liked the word.

"Maybe, I am weaker," I said in desperate.

Andros giggled, "Physcos are extremely hard to defeat, they've been given same equal strong powers."

I considered his words, if the physcos were given with equal powers. Then, why did I adapt so fast with my body. Does The Dark Specter give me same equal powers like the give to the others?

"But, one thing is exceptional." Andros finally continued his statement, " the invaded soul. The fast adaptation will pursue a maximum control of the host's body. "

I nodded my head a little. Andros then smirked, "looking by the way you fight, you must be one of the strongest soul."

Personally, I don't know if I should take it as a compliment or not.

"I scared you to death huh?" I teased him. He responded with giggled. "So did I."

We were giggling to each other. I think we'd broke the barrier into each other—not in intimate or loving way. But, it was getting warmer for us—we didn't give another cold shoulders to each other.

"How do you know about physcos?" I asked.

"They have been our enemies since years ago, of course, I've done some research about them." He answered.

I smiled in understood. Then his eyes gazed me again, "Is Ahley here?"

I was silent.

Ashley, I remind the voice which still didn't respond. Ash, I need your respond, he wants to talk with you I guess. In thirty seconds...I count backwards...Thirthy, twenty nine, twenty eig...

Before I finished the countdown, his lips pressed mine. Wet. Sweet. So, this is called kiss. His lips gently rubbed mine while my heart being melted because it. I just went with the flow, I kissed him back.

For this time, this isn't Ashley, this is ME...kissing him. While the kiss, the flashbacks flashed all around my head and wrapped my memories tight. I kissed him even harder, my grip didn't loose on his shoulder—it was even tighter. Later, I recognized—it was still me.

I knew it was minutes past thirty seconds, Ashley didn't give any comments or responds—she didn't even warn like 'stop kissing my BF or whatever'—she was not there. I pushed Andros back, that left us a few inches gap between. I felt guilty—I felt guilty for kissing him because the kiss wasn't for me—however that made me a little sad and broken.

"I am sorry Ash,"he apologized under my breath. "For letting you alone."

"No, it is I... am sorry," I said back against his gazed, "she's not here. She doesn't respond any thing."

His gentle gaze turned into a pathetic broken gaze, he stood up after he had put his cloak on and walked away from me. I really knew he was broken—just like me. I tried to catch him. "hey, where are you heading to?"

He kept walking, " none of yout business." He said brief.

Honestly, What a strange moment it was. Red Ranger and I, first he cooked me a dinner, second he investigated and screaming at me, third we were giggling and breaking the ice, the last he kissed me. I really was confused about what we had done together. Recently, I had to chase him and tell him...

"I GO WITH YOU!"

"NO!" he refused. He then walked backward into me and said same word with low tune, "no."

"why? You know that I can't go back to MegaShip and work with those silly partners of mine. That's impossible! They are going after me."

"Listen, I went after you, so, do you think it is imposibble if I am going to do the same thing too?"

"You have me, it means you've already after me—you've done the same thing. And I think nothing is going to happen to me. You don't killed me—you don't destroy this invader soul in your girl's body. Now what?"

"Now this," he took out his blaster and pointed it at me. I wasn't scared—because I demorphed and there was no way he could kill me. He can't kill his Ashley. I just grinned as he trying to pull the trigger.

"How about we make a deal..."I offered, "in a gamble."

He put his blaster down. This word seemed to put some interest on Andros. I throw my ID on his feet. "This is All I have, you can put my PIN in automatic cashier machine and you can build one new spaceship. What you got?"

"My morpher," he flew his morpher on the air and I caught it. "That was brave," I commented.

"Listen, If I lose I'll take your ID and your money then you should be removed from Ashley's body. I will take you to proper surgeon to do it because I don't want Ashley has a same scary mark as I own." Andros said.

"And If I win," I said. "I'll take your morpher and I'll go with you. "

I palmed up my hand, but he seemed have no will to shake my hand too fast.

"Doubt?" I asked

"What if the phsycos will be able to track us because your presence with me?"

I answered, "oh yeah, don't worry. I told deca to delete any traces from us. So..."

He didn't even reach my hand, he just stared at me seeking trust and belief. But, it was a different story when I pulled out a red broken tiny cylinder from my pocket.
