This is a sequel to my previous story, Sands of Time. I strongly recommend you read that one first, but if you choose not to, that's okay too, I still love you :P

A quick summary to catch you up:

Samantha is dumped onto the Enterprise, knowing nothing of how she got there. She does however, recognize Data. But he only seems familiar to her, as she does to him. After a while, they both discover that they had been a couple, before Data had been deactivated on his home planet. She had been killed, and, grief stricken, Data begged Dr. Soong to remove his emotion chip, and every memory he had of Samantha. But the love that he felt for her was so strong, and so pure, that even without an emotion chip, when they were reunited, he felt emotion around her.

Eventually, they decided to marry, and this story starts right after the wedding. No sex scenes in this one; I will be writing a separate peice for all of the ''missing'' scenes.

The doors opened swiftly, revealing a completely different room than the now married couple had spent their last night together in.

"Whoa..." Sam looked around, still in Data's arms. He too was surprised.

"I did not think the Captain would do this..." Data said. He chuckled and kissed his bride before setting her gently down on her feet. Samantha

squealed slightly, laughing as he wrapped his arms around her waist, lifting her into the air and spinning her back down again.

"You have no idea how happy you have made me today...Mrs. Soong..." He held her face in his hands and kissed her deeply. Samantha

pressed herself close to his warmth; the gown was short sleeved, which meant by now she was a little cold. Data noticed. He wrapped his

arms around her waist, and raised his internal temperature.

"Perhaps you should remove the gown..." he whispered into her ear. Sam couldn't help but feel slightly nervous as she felt his fingers trailing

over the back.
