estinoseSummary: Ashley thinks about her future on the way back to Earth. (Destruction... and After storyline)

This is the twelfth of the "Destruction... and after" series of stories and was written December 4, 1998.

Ashley woke up in her bunk aboard the Astro Megaship, blinking in response to the suddenly large amount of light in the room. She congratulated herself for not knocking the back of her head against the upper portion of the bunk, and reached for those portions of her uniform that she'd discarded for the night.
_I can't believe that it's over,_ she thought. _No more interruptions, no more monsters, just getting my life back to normal._
She had a feeling that what she'd be involved with for quite a while longer was helping rebuild Angel Grove. After all, she was a Ranger, even though she was soon to be fully retired, and she'd probably be expected to help. When she wasn't at school, that was.
_I'm gonna miss space,_ she thought. _No more exotic planets, just home. Wonder if I'll go stir-crazy living on plain old Earth?_
Ashley wondered if, someday, she'd find herself off-planet, or if she and Andros would end up settling on her home world, along with Zhane and Karone. It was a possibility, after all, that they'd elect to stay on Earth. It was also a possibility that Andros and the others might someday go back to their home world. After all, the planet did need help rebuilding, in more ways than one, and she got the impression that the Rangers were *more than welcome* to help.
But first she had to finish school, and she had a sinking feeling that the whole bunch of them would be stuck repeating one semester because of the time they'd spent in space. Heroes or not, they likely had to still satisfy California law. She didn't see any way around it. Maybe it was better, though, for they had more time to concentrate.
_I wonder how many people now know what we are?_ Ashley wondered. _Am I going to have to deal with reporters on my front porch, and saddened predecessors?_
She hoped not. But she'd deal with it. Home was still a bit away. For now, she had the stars, and that had to be enough.
