Andros and Cassie were walking around the ship tighter hand in hand thinking of how they could save Astronima and return her to being Karone.
"Hey!" shouts Cassie at Andros, "I got it!"
"Well? What is it?" he asked.
"Well I could go back onto the ship and..." she looked at Andros and she saw the look he gave her and said, "I mean WE could sneak onto the Dark Fortress and kidnap Astronima. Then bring her back here so Alpha can remove the wires in her brain so she can be herself again!" yells Cassie excitedly. She couldn't wait to get Karone back. Before she went back onto the Dark Fortress to stop the course of a meteor and got turned evil again she and Karone had become REALLY good friends. Ashley was beginning to get a little jealous at how much time they were spending together.
Flashback: 2 weeks before Karone once again became Astronima
"Hey!" shouts Karone running up behind Cassie.
"Hey! Where have you been? I was beginning to..." she looked closely into her new friends face, "Ah... Zhane!" she said nodding her head approvingly. She once had a crush on Zhane but that had faded about a month or two ago.
"Ya. He's just so....So..." she began.
"CUTE!" finished Cassie and they both began to laugh. Ashley was walking around the corner just leaving the bridge and heard her best friend Cassie talking to Karone. As Cassie and Karone passed she slipped behind them unnoticed as they continued to talk and walk.
"I know! He just makes me soooo happy! He is really a great guy. Why would he go out with me especially after what I had done to everyone as Astronima." she stated looking down and watching her feet go one in front of the other.
"Hey! Don't do that! YOU did NOT do those things Karone. It was Astronima not you. You are an amazing person. Why wouldn't he want to go out with you?" she said smiling at her best friend.
Ashley was furious. Why is Cassie not hanging with me? Trying to comfort me?
"Thanks Cassie! You always know how to cheer me up! As well as others." said Karone smiling back at Cassie.
"That's what Best Friends are for! Right?" said Cassie hugging Karone.
What? What! Best Friend? I am Cassie's Best Friend, not Karone!
"Right!" agreed Karone as they rounded the corner and walked into Cassie's room.
"Hey Karone want to go to the mall later? You need to learn some of the Earth customs. First lesson.....Shopping!" said Cassie smiling at Karone.
"Sure! Why not? I want some new clothes for my dates with Zhane anyway." she laughed.
"Cool..." she said as Karone entered her room behind her and the door shut silencing the rest of their conversation.
Ashley was so hurt she ran to her room and cried. "Cassie and Karone hadn't even noticed me walking behind them, and Cassie had replaced me as her best friend.
End Flashback
"Great idea Cassie!" said Andros thanking his girlfriend with a kiss.
"I know!" she said laughing cockily.
"Let's GO!" he yelled grabbing her arm gently and pulling her behind. They had to get that plan into action so he could have his sister back and soon.
