Andros walked down the corridors of the Astro Megaship. He had just finished his shift onboard and was ready to get some sleep. He stopped abruptly in the corridor and looked at the nearest door. His mind began racing and the feeling of warm tears made him continue on.

Several weeks ago, they had lost a Ranger. Merely a week after that loss, they lost a Ranger of their own. Cassie Chan, their Pink Ranger, had suffered from depression caused by her guilt of letting Kendrix, the Terra Venture Pink Ranger, die in her place. During her resting period, Cassie had been attacked by Striker Pink, a stronger version of Psycho Pink.

Both hung from a ledge, and Andros was the one holding onto Cassie. As he had tried to pull her up, she shot Striker Pink and slipped from his grasp. Both plummeted into the sea. Watching Cassie fall had bee one of the hardest things Andros had ever seen. Every day he spent hours trying to remain calm. The guilt of having her slip through his grip seemed to double every day.

Andros entered his room and fell back onto his bed. He stared up at the bare gray ceiling. At times, Andros had wanted to change his room interior, just to get his mind off his guilt. However, he never really made a decision and Andros had no creativity whatsoever. Andros had no idea how long he had been staring at his ceiling, or when his eyes had closed, but he found himself opening his eyes.

Sitting up, Andros realized his was lying in a large, grassy field. As far as his eyes could see, there were no buildings, no trees, no cities, just grass. The sky was clear, light, and blue. A gentle breeze blew his long hair and cooled him.

"About time you woke up." Andros snapped his head to the left. Standing in next to him; was Cassie. She was wearing a short pink skirt. It was slightly layered and wrapped tightly around her thin waist. Her white tank, decorated in small pink flowers, was covered with a small black over-shirt.

"Cassie?"

Cassie grabbed his arm and pulled him up, "Come on, everyone's waiting for us." She led him through the field.

"Where have you been Cassie?" Andros asked.

Cassie turned to him, "What do you mean? I've been here with you the entire time."

Andros stopped, "But, you were fighting Striker Pink. You both fell off the cliff."

"What?" Cassie asked.

Striker Pink suddenly appeared several feet behind Cassie. Cassie seemed to know and turned around before Andros could say anything. Cassie dropped to her knee and fire at Striker Pink.

Andros found himself hanging onto the ledge. His hung over the raging sea. Looking up, he found Cassie standing at the edge. Her calming eyes had changed into cold and empty eyes.

"You let me die." Cassie said in a heartless tone.

Andros felt her words cut into him deeply. "No! I tried to save you."

Cassie smiled darkly she raised Andros' Spiral Saber Booster, "Bye Andros." Cassie fired. Andros was shot off the ledge and plummeted into the raging sea below.

Andros bolted upright. His forehead was covered in sweat, his heart raced, and his body ached. Andros set his arms on his knees and leaned over. He let his body calm down before he wiped the sweat form his face.

"Andros!" Carlos called.

Andros quickly stood and walked to his door. "What's up Carlos?"

"Alpha and D.E.CA. picked up something. It's Cassie morphed!" Carlos finished.

"Cassie's morphed? That means she's still alive!" Andros said.

Carlos nodded, "Come on!" they both left Andros' doorway and ran down the corridors.
