Story-

Hold on to me love

you know I can't stay long

all I wanted to say was I love you and I'm not afraid

can you hear me?

Can you feel me in your arms?

Trip listened to T'Pol's memorial service. He remembered what happened. The ship found an unexplored planet in Xindi. He and T'Pol were sent there to investigate the planet. They were captured by Xindi and stripped of their communicators and weapons.

All of a sudden, The Xindi shot a phase pistol that was set to kill at T'Pol for no reason! Archer knew that something was wrong and sent a security team to rescue them! The security team couldn't find the Xindi that captured them and brought T'Pol and Trip back to Enterprise. Trip carried T'Pol to sickbay.

"Is she gonna be all right?!"

"I'll have to scan her to make sure," Phlox said.

After a few scans, Phlox told Trip that there was nothing he could do.

"She can't die!"

"I'm afraid she will," Phlox said.

T'Pol opened her eyes and asked Phlox if she could talk to Trip alone.

Holding my last breath

safe inside myself

are all my thoughts of you

sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

"Commander, I am dieing," T'Pol said.

"You're not dieing! Phlox'll save you!"

"There is nothing he can do," T'Pol said.

I'll miss the winter

a world of fragile things

look for me in the white forest

hiding in a hollow tree (come find me)

I know you hear me

I can taste it in your tears

"Trip, I want to tell you something. I love you," T'Pol said.

Trip was shocked to hear T'Pol call him by his nickname! She always called him Commander or Mr. Tucker. She never called him Trip! He was also overwhelmed to hear that this Vulcan had such feelings for him!

"T'Pol I loved you since I first met you," Trip replied.

Holding my last breath

safe inside myself

are all my thoughts of you

sweet raptured light it ends here tonight

"I just wish that we told each other sooner," T'Pol said.

"T'Pol, you're not gonna die!" Trip exclaimed.

Closing your eyes to disappear

you pray your dreams will leave you here

but still you wake and know the truth

no one's there

Trip closed his eyes, praying that this was just a nightmare. That he would just wake up in his bed and start his day. Trip opened his eyes to see that he was still in sickbay. Deep down, Trip knew that this was real.

Say goodnight

don't be afraid

calling me holding me as you fade to black

"Good-bye, Trip," She said slowly, while closing her eyes.

Trip grabbed T'Pol and started calling out her name.

(Say goodnight) Holding my last breath

(Don't be afraid) Safe inside myself

(Holding me) Are my thoughts of you

Sweet rapture and life,

it ends here tonight.

Trip couldn't believe it! First the Xindi killed his sister and now they killed the woman he loved! Trip listened to T'Pol's memorial service, telling himself that he was going to make the Xindi pay for killing his sister and T'Pol!
