Kurenai: Yes people I am alive and I hope this Alien/Predator fanfic will be of your interest

Nova Lee Grant was a normal girl, had a few friends, parents, older brother, average grades in school but that would all change going on a trip with her Aunt Sarah...

Earth, California...

Nova was in her room packing for her trip into space, she was going to go with her aunt Sarah on a scientific mission, she didn't really want to go but she didn't want to hurt her aunt's feelings. She put a toothbrush, toothpaste and all other hygiene necessities in her bag, Nova was done packing in about ten minutes, the last five she was trying to find her CD player, CD's, sketchbook and her reading books which mostly consisted of Sci-fi, fantasy, action/adventure and horror novels.

"Nova! It's time to go" her mother, Terri called from downstairs "I'm coming" Nova got the last thing that she wanted to bring, her family photo of her, her father David, her mother and her older brother Jason. Her mother was tapping her foot, waiting rather impatiently as her daughter put on her jacket, shoes and baseball hat, Nova's chin length red hair was a bit messy and her grey eyes were showing a neutral emotion "Okay let's go" Nova said with an almost forced smile, Terri didn't mind and went into the car and put the keys into the ignition, Nova and Terri were driving for about half an hour before they spotted Sarah waiting at a restaurant, they pulled in

"Hey Nova, you ready to go into space?" Sarah asked the 14 year old girl "yeah." Nova responded quietly, Sarah smiled and gave Nova a hug, Nova smiled and returned the hug for a moment then both let go "Good to see you Terri" Sarah greeted her sister in law. Terri said hello also, Nova was reading "The Simillarion" while her aunt and mother were talking "If she gets hurt it'll be your head" Terri said to Sarah "Terri don't worry Nova's a big girl now, she can take care of herself" Sarah tried to make Terri calm down, in which she succeeded, Terri sighed "alright, then"

Terri gave Nova a hug also she gave her a cell phone, pepper spray, a stunner, and a survival kit 'a bit much' Sarah said in her mind, Nova said her goodbyes and as soon as her mother left she spoke "Why'd she give me all this stuff? I mean it's not like I'm going to New York, The Amazon or the Gobi desert" Sarah grinned slightly "She just wants you to be safe" Nova nodded "Okay, but I seriously doubt that this will work where we're going" she said as she held up the cell phone her mother gave her. Sarah chuckled

Nova put her things into her aunt's car and the two headed off to their destination which was a Weyland-Yutani company, Sarah had just joined the company's scientist team, they were going to study a planet that a colony had just recently abandoned. Nova put her Evanescence CD into her CD player and put on "my immortal", which was her favorite song.

They were driving about 30 minutes before they drove into a parking lot near a huge building, it had the initials "W.Y." on it. Nova ignored that fact "Okay Nova get your things, we'll be going in awhile" Sarah said, Nova nodded as she and Sarah got out their things bags and headed into the building. The place was neat and had people walking in and out of rooms. Then a man with short brown hair and green eyes came towards them "you two must be Dr. Sarah Grant and her niece Nova Lee Grant" Sarah smiled "and you must be Mr. Daniel Reyes" "Yes Ma'am" he said as he gave a playful smile, Nova gave her fox grin to him.

The three went to the shuttle that they were scheduled to be on, Daniel put their bags into the cargo space and went to the front and strapped himself in his seat "Okay ladies we'll be leaving in" he started to say in a T.V. announcer type as Sarah and Nova buckled up and got a laugh out of them "5...4...3...2...1...and we're off!" he said as the shuttle shook inside, they went off into the sky, Nova clamped her hands to the seat's arm rests, Sarah saw this and giggled quietly to herself.

They now exited Earth's gravitational pull and atmosphere the ride was now steady and smooth, which Nova was thanking god for. Nova and Sarah were looking out the window looking at the far away stars "we'll be transferring to a different shuttle near the Luna satellite" Sarah said to Nova who turned her head and nodded in understanding. Daniel made it to the other shuttle without any incident, in which I mean without any verbal or physical fighting, Nova, Sarah and Daniel grabbed their things "Aren't you going back to Earth?" Asked Nova "Nope, I'm one of the pilots in this, here shuttle...why? Ya don't want me here" he said with a fake hurt face "No, just asking" Nova said with a laugh.

They entered the new ship seeing a group of Marines, two women and five men, the nametags read: T.J. (Tia Jane) Carver, Anne Lopez, Jay Gibson, Adrian Powell, Jerry Wellings, Tom Adams and the leader had name Major Ryan Andrews, Andrews was a big guy with dirty blonde military cut hair and very dark brown eyes. 'Why are the military here?' Nova asked herself and judging by there expressions Sarah and Daniel were just as confused. Then a woman with blonde hair past her shoulders and greenish grey eyes came into the room "You must be Dr. Sarah Grant" Sarah nodded "And they are Daniel Reyes and Nova Lee Grant" Sarah responded "Yes, they are, and you are?" she smirked which made her look slightly evil "I'm Moira Evans".

Nova didn't bother to stay for a speech and left the room to explore the shuttle to try and get use to find places like the showers, the toilet and sleeping chamber. Nova found the sleeping chamber and put her bags into a locker that already had her name on the front and left to explore a little bit more.

Nova was walking down on hallway looking around not paying attention to where she was going and as you probably guessed, she bumped into someone, she fell on the floor and then she looked up to see...
