AN: Sorry this took so long, I have school. ON TO THE STORY!!

Cassie was noticing a behavior difference with Ashley. She knew that this behavior often occurred when she was deep in thought or just was bored, but it still bothered her to see Ashley so closed up.

Ashley was usually a very outgoing girl who never let anything stand in her way. By closing up she was ultimately defying her nature. Then again, Cassie also knew that the only thing that would snap Ashley out of it would be a hug from one of her friends.

Cassie thought that Ashley should get a few more minutes to think about what ever it was that was bothering her, then she should snap out of it. If she was bored than they could go to the mall. The earrings that Cassie had found the other day were beautiful and she really wanted to get them while they were on sale this week.

Ashley had looked everywhere for her locket and still could not find it. It was like it had disappeared into a black hole.

She was trying to figure out where she hadn't looked yet when someone wrapped their arms around her and squeezed her so hard she felt like her lungs would never get air again. However, turning around she realized that it was only Cassie. She was actually kind of thankful, she felt kind of lonely without her sibling to talk to.

"Hey, want to go crash the mall? I found these really cool earrings and I really want to get them while they are on sale. Besides, then we can look at all the pretty gems."

"I think that I've seen all the gems I need to thanks. I still haven't gotten over that jewelry heist that Astronema had last week. You go ahead and maybe I'll meet you there. I really just want to take a nap, it's been a long day for me."

With that Ashley walked away without even waiting for a response. There was something seriously wrong here. Ashley never did that, no matter what happened Ashley always waited for an answer from whoever she was talking to before leaving, she hated having the last word in a conversation.

Ashley went to her room and sat on her bed. She didn't really feel like sleeping without her locket, it made her feel safe to know that her brother was always with her. She knew that she could count on her friends, but that wasn't the same.

Cassie was like a sister, but she didn't feel any safer with Cassie than with Carlos or TJ. Andros only really made her feel safer she supposed because she had a feeling like she had known him all her life. Almost like a biological brother. That was crazy though. Her brother was dead, she killed him by leaving him to fight alone.

---

Andros watched the video for what felt like the hundredth time that day. His sister being taken away from him and no image of the person or monster that took her.

He had been dwelling on her captor ever since she had been taken from him. It was amazing how he could fight the worst monsters ever seen, yet when it came to his sister he turned to a teary mess.

He needed to find her. It was his mission in life to find her and figure out what had happened to her all these years.

Turning off the video he put the chip back in its rightful place. After doing so he left to his room; he was getting a headache that only a nice long nap could cure.

AN: I don't have any clue what the next few chapters are going to be about, so I would appreciate it if you could leave a few suggestions with the reviews you leave. Though I have not yet had any I am told that there are reviews that are reffered to as FLAMES, if you should like to post one then please feel free, but please add in what you would like done, I want to make the story to appeal to everyone as best that I can. Also should you find mistakes please let me know and I will try to correct them, I am reading over the story over and over to try to catch it, but I have read this story before and therefore am having a bad time with seeing the mistakes because I know what will happen next.

It has also come to my knowledge that I have not added a disclaimer. I do not feel these nessicary die to the title of the website. FAN kind of means that you like another person's work and when you merge fiction onto it it kind of tells you flat out that only the plot is yours (although I do believe that some credit must go to the people who are giving you the inspiration to go on).

Thanks to my reviewers and to all of you who like this story and are just not in the mood to review...Yes, I'm talking to you. I really like reviews, but I don't mind not getting them.

My 4 reviewers are:

SailorMarsFan - thanks, I hope you liked this chapter as well.

PinkRangerV - Yay! I like it when people say I did good!

sunflowerlily - Did I update quickly enough? I tried to write as fast as I could just to hear your next reaction.

crazedchick - Glad you like it. There might be a small relationship in there somewhere, but I don't have it yet. Let me know which ones you want and I'll try to get them in there. I also tried to get the chapters a bit longer because the beginning was proably more like and intro than a chapter.

Due to several things going on there may be a short delay to the next few chapters, but I would like you to remind me should the next update be more than two months apart. I really don't want my readers to wait forever to read the next piece.
