Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers I don't own the plot either. Ashley Hammond/Astro Yellow sent me the idea. I just own the characters that don't exist.

Summary: Andros has to return to KO-35 because of his royal status which causes problems in his and Ashley's relationship.

The Trouble with Love is

Chapter 1: Returning to KO-35

Ashley was sitting on the Astro Megaship going from Earth to KO-35 with Andros. Andros's parents were calling for Andros to come back, so he had no choice but to go back. However, Ashley wasn't going to let Andros leave her so she was going with him. Now there was another problem, Ashley was nervous about meeting his parents for the first time.

As they were flying towards KO-35, Andros noticed that Ashley was nervous by the look on her face. He put the ship into auto control and walked over to his girlfriend. He sat across from her with a smile. "Ashley, there's no need to worry," he assured her. She sighed and looked at him.

"What if they don't like me?" She asked.

He chuckled and stroked her face. "Nonsense, they'll love you," he assured her. A smile came across her face and he pressed his lips against hers. She kissed him back placing her hand on the back of his neck. Andros pulled Ashley off her chair and into his lap without breaking the kiss. Breaking the kiss, Ashley tilted her head back allowing him access to her neck. However, their little moment was interrupted when the computers went off. "What is it, DECA?" Andros asked almost breathlessly.

"We have arrived at KO-35," DECA replied.

Ashley got off Andros's lap and sat back in her chair. "Incoming transmission," DECA informed.

"Main viewing screen," Andros answered.

He got up from the chair and went back to his controls as his parents came onscreen. "Hello, mother, father," he greeted.

"Hello, Andros, and welcome home. Where is Karone?" King Caspar asked.

Andros let out a sigh. "Karone is on Miranoi, father. She had finished her duty as the Pink Galaxy Ranger and would like to stay on Miranoi," he replied.

"We haven't seen our daughter in twelve years," Queen Andraya reminded.

"I understand that, mother, but she is enjoying her life on Miranoi. She has fallen in love," Andros informed.

Ashley smiled as Andros told them about Karone's newly found relationship with the Red Galaxy Ranger. "In love? Who would she be in love with?" Caspar asked.

"Leo Corbett, Red Galaxy Ranger," Andros replied.

Andros walked away from his controls and stood behind Ashley. "Mother, father, Karone is not the only one who has fallen in love. As have I. This is Ashley Hammond, former Yellow Astro Ranger," Andros informed. Caspar and Andraya looked at Ashley and smiles came across their faces.

"It is good to meet you, Ashley. We are glad to see that you have made our son so happy, we haven't seen that in awhile," Andraya commented.

Ashley smiled and placed her hands over Andros's. "We will see you soon, son," Caspar informed. Then they cut the transmission. Ashley looked up at Andros, who smiled at her.

"See, I told you they'd like you," he commented.

He kissed the top of her head with a smile.

Caspar was storming out of the room with the flame showing in his eyes. "Caspar, wait," Andraya called out. She grabbed her husband's arm.

"This is ridiculous. I can handle that Karone has fallen in love with an earthling, but not my son," he hissed angrily.

Andraya stood in front of him holding onto his hands. "I'm just as upset as you are about this, but what can we do?" She asked. He looked at his wife with the anger showing on his face.

"Our son's heir has to be pure Karovan blood, not half. We have to get rid of her and fast before this transpires into something much bigger. I will not allow Andros to marry this girl," he answered.

Andraya nodded her head slowly. "I think I know how to get rid of her," she commented.

"I am listening," he answered.

She looked at Caspar with a smile on her face. "Let's go back into your office and I'll discuss it with you there," she informed. The King of KO-35 nodded his head with a grin as they walked back into his office.

Kinwon and Tykwa were waiting for their friends with smiles on their faces. "Andros, Ashley, welcome back to KO-35," Kinwon greeted. Ashley smiled as she hugged Kinwon.

"It's good to be back," she answered.

Tykwa embraced Andros with a smile on her face. "Come, come your parents await for your arrival," Tykwa informed. Andros looked over at Ashley as Kinwon and Tykwa led them away.

Caspar and Andraya were waiting for their arrival and put their fake smiles on their faces when they came in. Andraya walked over and embraced her son with a smile on her face. "I'm so happy to see you alive, my son," she murmured. Andros hugged his mother back with a smile on his face.

"Thanks mom," he answered.

When he let Andraya go, he gripped Caspar's forearms in their usual greeting before Caspar hugged him. "Welcome home," Caspar greeted. Andros let Caspar go and stood beside Ashley.

"I believe I already introduced you to Ashley," Andros commented.

"Yes, yes, of course, welcome Ashley," Andraya greeted with a small nod.

Caspar nodded his head to Ashley as well. "An honor to meet the woman that helped my son save KO-35 and Earth," Caspar put in. Andraya smiled at the two of them.

"You two must be exhausted, I will have Andros show you where you shall be staying," Andraya informed.

Andros nodded his head as he held Ashley's hand and led her out of the throne room. Caspar tried so hard not to kick Ashley out of KO-35 the moment he saw her. "When the time is right, my love, she won't be here much longer," Andraya told him.

"I know, we will wait for the perfect moment to tell Andros what we really think of Ashley," he answered.
