To clear my conscience."

Sacrifice By: T.A.T.U

We all make sacrifices for the ones we love and we all know that consequences that come with making those sacrifices. Some tell lies in order to protect their loved ones knowing that the consequence could jeopardize their loved ones' trust in them. Others would take a bullet for them or would even avoid their loved one in order to protect them but there are some sacrifices that are so painful that many would not take that chance. If you had to give up your memories in order to protect not only your love one but even your planet, would you do it? Would you forget all about your loved one to protect them knowing that you may never regain that friendship or the love you had with them or the feelings between the two?

Jenna did, she gave up all her memories of her closest friend and her friendship with her princess. She knew that friend for six long years and she even gave up the memories she cherished the most about that person. They protected each other, trusted each other and most of all they cared for each other as more than friends but when a war broke out on their planet she didn't have much of a choice. Her memories held very valuable information on some of the secret projects that her and the king discussed and worked on in spare time. She also held information on the location of the princess and the two people who were assigned to protect her and one of them was her friend, Lance.

The last time she saw him before she gave up her memories to protect him, the princess and to hide the secret projects Lance had told her that when he got back from his mission, he wanted to talk to her about something important. The mission was the last mission he went on before their home was invaded by the Mutraddi and some of their very own people.

"Are you sure that you want to do this?" The king asked Jenna as she sat down in the machine that was about to remove her memories but not all of them, just all of her memories of Lance, Ilana and the projects she worked on with the king. She nodded and gave him a look of determination, "if it will protect the princess and all of my knowledge about the projects, then I'm sure." She told her King who gave her a look of worry.

"What about Lance," The king asked, "are you sure you want to forget about him, after six years of memories with him?" He watched as she looked down and grew quiet, "Jenna?"

"If everything goes as planned, I'll remember everything just as the war ends, I hope." She whispered the last part, "I know I promised that I wouldn't let him be alone again but, he'll understand." She smiled sadly, "Baron," she looked to Baron who was giving her a worried tome expression, "I'm going to trust you to fill me in on a few things after this."

"Don't worry; I'll make everything clear once this is done." He promised Jenna.

"Oh," She started up again, "don't try to convince me that we're good friends." She half teased, she had grown to be his close comrade but not friends, not for the way he treated Lance.

"You know me too well Jenna," he shook his head and stepped back as the machine started to power up.

"Alright sir, I'm ready." She informed the King and he nodded in reply, starting up the machine. She saw all of her memories rush by in her mind in flashes before they slowly faded. I'm sorry Lance. . .

"Lance the rift gate has opened," Octos announced as he walked into Lance's room around midnight, "we have to hurry and get to the location of where the creature landed before the military does." He added as Lance got up with an annoyed and tired groan.

"Alright, go get Ilana." He yawned and slowly stood to get dressed. He snatched his pants from the previous day and saw something fall out of the wallet from his back pocket. He crouched down and picked it up. It was a picture of him and his very close friend from Galaluna. "Jenna, I hope you're safe." He stared at the picture before he pulled on his jeans and belt and then his shirt before he left with Ilana and Octos to the sighting of where the assumed creature had landed on earth.

It was deep in the woods outside of town and they were glad to see that they had gotten there before the military or G3 did. The impact from the said creature landing on earth left a huge crater in the ground. Tress around the area were knocked over and some even broken. They stood just outside the crater and stared down into it, waiting for something to jump out at them and attack but after a while of waiting nothing happened.

"I am sensing a life form and it appears to be alive but it is not moving." Octos announced as he scanned the hole below them. Even with the moonlight above them they couldn't see into the hole clearly. "The life form also does not appear to be a Mutraddi creature."

"I'll check it out," Ilana told them as she deactivate her suit but Lance put his arm in front of her, "let me guess, you're going to tell me that it's too dangerous." She huffed while rolling her eyes at Lance when he also deactivated his suit.

"Stay alert," Lance told Ilana and Octos just before slid down into the hole. He saw a figure at the bottom and noticed that it looked normal, human even. He cautiously moved closer and saw that it was a girl but he couldn't tell what she looked like in the darkness of the ditch, "Hey Octos, I need a light come down here." He called from the bottom of the ditch. Once Octos made it to the bottom he stood next to Lance and turned on his light. "Jenna!" Lance gasped and knelt down next to the girl he assumed to be his close friend. She seemed to be unconscious, most likely from the impact. He looked her over and recognized everything. Her medium brown hair and light skin along with her small build from being in the academy but despite that she was a little thin. The natural flush of her cheeks had faded as she looked a little pale.

"Jenna," Octos repeated, "she is in my data bases, she helped the king create me and she also worked on a few other projects." He announced and watched as Lance scooped her up in his arms, "how did she get here and another thing, why is she here?" Octos asked but Lance didn't seem to be interested in the why or how as he walked out of the crater.

"Jenna!" Ilana gasped "I remember her from when I was little." She told them and then frowned, "why is she here and how did she get here?" She asked but saw the look on Lance's face.

"Who cares how or why, she's here and we should get her home and make sure she's not hurt." Lance told him and saw that she had a few scratches and maybe some bruises but he hoped she didn't have any broken bones. The ground started to shake and the sounds of the wheels of tanks could be heard in the distance, "let's go." Lance moved Jenna onto his back with Ilana's help and ran off with Octos and Ilana back into the city.

As soon as they made it back home they took her to the spare room at the end of the upstairs hall next to Octos' room across from Lance's. Lance was glad they got a bed for the spare room as he lied her down gently on the bed and lifted her shirt enough to see her stomach, "No bruises." He saw that scar on her upper stomach from a mission they had two years ago. He lowered down hr shirt and looked over her arms, a few scratches but nothing serious. "She seems to be fine."

"I have scanned her body and she doesn't have any serious injuries but her brain waves seem odd." He told them as he scanned her head, "they are healthy and nothing damaging but it seems like it's suppressing something." He moved away from the bed when Lance looked over her head for any bruises or lumps.

"Good, she's not hurt." He breathed a sigh of relief when he moved away from her, "She was supposed to be with our commanding unit on the southern border ranks." He muttered to himself, "What reason would she have coming here?" He watched her and smiled, "whatever the reason I'm glad she's safe."

"Lance," Ilana started, "who is she to you?" She asked a bit curiously with a grin.

"We've been close friends for six years; she's the only person that is important to me left," He paused, "other than you two of course." He added and saw the smile Ilana gave him, "We're just friends." He repeated and when Ilana shrugged he frowned.

"You two should go to bed, I can monitor her for the night." Octos told Lance and Ilana and Ilana nodded in agreement, turning to Lance.

"She'll be fine Lance." Ilana told Lance but he didn't move, instead he grabbed the chair from the desk and moved it next to the bed. "Lance?"

"I'll watch her," He said in a low voice as he sat down in the chain, elbows rested on his knees while his hands her folded under his chin. He watched her, he hadn't seen her in months and he missed her. He also was always right by her side at anytime he was able to be.

"Lance you should get some,"

"I'll watch her Octos." He cut off his robotic friend, "you should check the rift gate for anything strange or see if any messages have come in that might explain why Jenna is here." He nearly ordered and turned back to Jenna, "besides, when she wakes up I have something important to tell her."

"Alright then – I'm going to school tomorrow, if she's not awake Octos should stay and watch her." She told him but he gave her a look as if telling her he wasn't intending on going to school if she didn't wake up. "Um, then you can stay if you want to Lance." She told him and he smiled in thanks, "good night guy." She said before she left the room and down the hall.

"Lance, you're heart rate is rising, are you okay?" Octos asked and saw that Lance went back to staring at Jenna, "you are worried about Jenna."

"It's been months since I last saw her, I want to make sure she's alright and besides," He looked up at Octos from over his shoulder, "we made many promises the six years we've known each other, I'm keeping them."

"Alright," Octos agreed to let Lance stay and watch over Jenna, "but make sure you do not stress yourself out. I am going to check the rift gate activity from earlier." He walked to the bedroom door, "good night Lance."

"Good night Octos." He replied and reached his hand out to hold Jenna's with a gentle squeeze, "Jenna," he whispered and smiled, "I was scared that something had happened to you." He closed his eyes and let out a deep breath, "looks like you kept your promise." He gazed at her a while longer before he grew tired but forced had himself to stay awake.

The next morning Lance woke up when he heard Jenna groan and stir in her sleep, "Jenna?" he groaned out, rubbing at his eyes with the palm of his hand. He blinked a few times to clear his vision and saw Jenna staring at him and then at their hands. "Jenna?" He called again and she sat up, pulling her hand away, "What's wrong Jenna?"

"Who are you?" She asked slowly and cautiously, she tried to remember what happened and recalled that Baron had sent her to Earth.

"What do you mean," Lance frowned, worried, "It's me, Lance."

"Lance?" She repeated his name slowly, "Oh, I remember."

"You do?" He smiled relieved.

"Yeah," she nodded, "Baron and all the other soldiers were always talking about you." She told him, "I heard you were on an important mission for the king." She looked around the room, "so this is earth."

"Wait," Lance spoke up, "don't you know who I am Jenna?" Lance asked again, fear washing over him. How could she forget him, they had known each other for six years.

"Just that you're Lance and that the king really trusts you," She answered and saw someone walk into the room, "Princess!" She bowed, "it is good to see that you're safe."

"Jenna I told you that you didn't have to be so formal with me." Ilana reminded Jenna who looked at her confused.

"I don't remember you telling me that." She told Ilana confused and saw someone walk up behind Ilana, a robot, "Octos?"

"Hello Jenna," Octos greeted with a brief wave, "how are you feeling?"

"Um, I'm alright, how are you active?" She asked curiously, "did the king activate you?"

"Yes," he answered and saw the look Lance gave them, "what's wrong Lance?"

"Jenna doesn't remember me," He told Octos, "we've known each other for six years and she doesn't remember me at all." He finished, rushing his words, "what happened Jenna?"

"Um, I remember Baron told me that I had extracted and locked away some selected memories." She shrugged, "maybe some of them were of you."

"I remember the king discussing this with me," Octos cut in, "the king told me that Jenna had locked away memories of you, Ilana and the secret projects she and the king had worked on in order to keep your location a secret and to keep the projects a secret incase she were ever captured." Octos filled them in and Jenna nodded, confirming his information.

"What," Lance looked to Jenna who returned his gaze, "so you don't remember me at all?" He asked and she shook her head, "not even when we met?" She shook her head again and he sighed, "Great." He muttered sarcastically

"Don't be so upset about it Lance, she did it to protect us." Ilana pointed out but Lance just gave her a glare, "Lance,"

"Whatever," He cut off Ilana, "why is she here then?"

"I was captured by the Mutraddi and they tried to get information from me but when they realized I knew nothing about you they wanted to send me to the forsaken planet next to Galaluna," She explained slowly, "that's when Baron told them that he would do it and sent me here but the rift gate got delayed and I was stuck in it for about three weeks. That was a month after I lost my memories of you." She finished her little story and Lance still didn't seem happy about it, "I'm sorry."

"Well," Ilana started, ignoring the tension Lance gave off, "you protected our location and you also protected the secret projects. Our location was found out not to long ago so we have been fighting Mutraddi creatures for a while." She gave Jenna a smile, "I appreciate the sacrifice you made Jenna, thank you."

"Yes, thank you Jenna." Octos chimed in and looked over at Lance, "Lance is there anything you would like to say?"

"No," He answered, "she doesn't remember who I am so I have nothing to say to her."

"Lance!" Ilana frowned, hands at her hips, "she's your friend and she made a very big sacrifice to protect us and I bet she did it more for you than me and you're going to give her the cold shoulder?" When Lance didn't answer she rolled her eyes at him.

"It's alright princess,"

"Ilana," Ilana cut off Jenna, correcting her.

"Ilana," she repeated, "I don't expect him to be overjoyed to see a friend who's forgotten all about him." She gazed over in Lance's direction before he headed out the bedroom door and down the hallway, "Baron said that Lance wasn't cut for this mission so he sent me here, an excuse of course." She told Ilana, "He's always had a crush on me."

"Baron, really?" Ilana asked, not really believing her old friend, "well at least he's on our side."

"I guess I should talk to Lance?" Jenna asked and Ilana nodded, "what do I say if I don't remember anything of the six years we spent together?"

"I don't know but it might help," Ilana told her, "we've been attending High School here on earth, we'll enroll you into it and try to get you to have classes with Lance and me." Ilana said before she left the room with Octos.

Jenna groaned and headed out of the room and down the hall, she found Lance in his room, door cracked, "Lance?" She knocked on the door, "can I come in?" Lance didn't reply so she let herself into his room, "Um, Lance,"

"Look Jenna," Lance turned away from the window and faced Jenna, "I appreciate what you did, really I do it's just," he sighed and got quite.

"It's just that – what?" She urged him on.

"That when we met again it would be different," He admitted, "I expected something different, I'm glad that you're safe though, with or without your memories." He had calmed down a bit but was still upset about her not remembering him, she willingly gave up her memories of him and the princess but it was to keep their location on earth a secret and to protect hem and for that he was proud of her.

Jenna smiled at Lance, "If it makes you feel better, I feel relieved to know that you're safe, despite me not knowing you or rather, not remembering who you are or how close we were before the war."

"A little," Lance admitted with a smile, "so, how is everything back home in Galaluna?" he asked but saw the look on her face, "not good?"

"We're holding up but the ones who have betrayed us and joined the Mutraddi are the commanders we most trusted." She told him, "but you had an encounter with the Galalunian Commander just as the war started." When Lance nodded she debated whether or not to tell him about General Modula when Ilana walked in.

"Did you two make nice?" She asked and when Lance and Jenna just stared at her she smiled, "you two should come with me. Octos has something to show you." She motioned them to follow her and they did. They walked down the hallway into Octos' room, "Alright, show them."

"Okay," Octos moved one of the screens and enhanced the size of it and the quality, "this is some footage from when Jenna locked away her memories of you." He played the footage and they all watched it curiously, except for Jenna that is, she already knew all about that event.

Once Jenna's memories had been locked away the king turned off the machine and helped her stand, "are you alright?" He asked and she nodded, "do you know who Lance is?"

"Lance?" She groaned when her head started to throb, "No, I don't." She answered slowly, "if we're done here I want to go and join my unit."

"After a few more questions," The king said and looked to Baron, "do you know who he is?"

Jenna gazed over at Baron who smiled and she frowned, "yeah, how can I forget a brat like him?" She answered coldly, "anything else?"

"Do you know where my daughter, Lance and Octos are?" The king continued with the questions and she shook her head.

"You activated Octos?" She asked not believing him when he nodded, "I'll believe it when I see it." She told the king who laughed, "Can I go now sir?"

"Yes, return back to your unit with Baron, he'll fill you in on all of the details." He stopped Jenna before she left, "and Jenna, tell Ilana that I'm fine and also tell Lance that I'm sorry that I put you and him through his."

Jenna nodded, accepting his request but confused about the Lance guy he kept talking about, "Yes," She replied before she left with Baron.

The footage ended as the screen closed and Ilana looked to Jenna and then Lance who was looking down at the floor, he was upset again. "I'm glad my father is safe." She smiled happily.

"Octos, can't we return her memories?" Lance asked, hoping there was a way to get his friend to remember who he was.

"Without the machine we cannot return her memories but they are not gone," Octos answered, "they are just hidden or locked away somewhere in her mind. They will return on their own over time."

"How long do you think it would take?" Lance asked, being impatient as always. He wanted her to remember him as soon as possible.

"The average estimated time for the previous test subjects they used before Jenna started to regain their memories about two months prior." Octos looked at the Rift Gate charts, "from what I can tell from the charts, she was sent into the Rift Gate three weeks ago and had locked away her memories a month before that so in a few more weeks she should start to remember things." He put the chart away, "not all at once though, they come back in bits and pieces, some before others."

"Well, at least she'll get her memories back Lance." Ilana told Lance, hoping he would cheer up a little.

"Oh," He gazed at Jenna who glanced back at him and then away, "it's better than nothing I guess." He breathed out, putting his hands in his pockets, "we're going to be late for school."

"If you want Jenna, I can enroll you today rather than tomorrow." Octos offered and Jenna shrugged.

"Doesn't really matter to me, what do you want princess?" She asked and recoiled when Ilana glared at her, "I mean, Ilana."

Ilana smiled, "today should be fine"

"Then let's go," Octos headed out the door, taking the form of an elderly man.

"I knew that feature would come in handy," Jenna grinned, proud of her work. She felt Lance staring at her and sighed, "Staring won't make me remember any faster Lance." When he didn't reply she frowned, "look, I'm sorry, okay? I can't really reverse it, I had to protect everyone."

"I know," He turned his back to Jenna and walked out of the room without another word.

"Did I really do the right thing?" She asked herself quietly, "yes, the princess is safe." She nodded, confirming it with herself before she followed the others out of the room, down the stairs and into the thing they called a van.

Ilana sat in the front next to Octos who was not called Ilana and Lance's father while Jenna sat in back next to Lance who was slouched in his seat, arms crossed over his chest and staring out the window. She sighed and looked out her window until they made it to the place called High School. Once there Lance and Ilana left to class while their "father" took Jenna to the office to get enrolled into the school. Octos has made her a backpack in the van beforehand.

"Are you her legal guardian?" The woman in the office asked, peering over her computer screen at Jenna.

"Yes, she is the daughter of a friend in the family, her mother passed away and her father travels the world and he said it would be better for her to live with us in a stable home." Mr. Lunis, as Octos was called the moment answered casually.

"What is your name Hun?" The woman asked Jenna, looking her over, Jenna wore jean shorts that were cut at mid-thigh and a dark tank top with a jean bust jacket that Ilana gave her. She had knee high combat boots and her medium brown hair was now pulled up in a messy bun.

"Jenna Evans," Jenna answered along with various other questions like her age, her previous school, which they had lied about saying she was home schooled by her mother and among other things. When they were done they took a picture of her for her school ID and then assigned her classes and some books. Octos went into the bathroom and turned into Newton, his student alias.

"Here is your classroom," Newton told her and saw Lance walk by, "you have classes with Lance." He told her and she sighed in response. Lance seemed still be upset with her but she would deal with his silent treatment. "I will see you at lunch," He told her and then waved to someone behind Jenna.

Jenna turned around and saw a tall, lean built girl her age with strawberry blond hair and a pretty face. Jenna watched as the girl hugged Newton or Octos and gave him a peck on the cheek. She kept her jaw from dropping in surprise. She knew that when her, the king and Arthur, Lance's father, that much she remembered, had made Octos that he had human feelings but affection and love in the way she had seen before her was a huge surprise.

"Who is this?" The girl asked with an intimidating tone, well it would have been to others but not Jenna, she could take that human girl down in five seconds flat.

"This is a very close friend of the families, her father travels for work and her mother died so she's living with us now." Newton explained to the red haired girl, "Her name is Jenna Evans," He turned his attention to Jenna, "Jenna, this is,"

"His girlfriend, Kimmy." She smiled, "nice to meet you, a friend of Newton's is a friend of mine, as long as you don't have a thing for him." She glared and Jenna smiled, holding back her laughter.

"Newton is more of a brother to me than anything, don't worry." She reassured Kimmy and the redhead instantly smiled, "I should get to class." She told the couple, "Be good now Newton." Jenna teased and Kimmy just giggled while Newton blinked a little confused before the two left to their class. When Jenna got into the class room she saw Lance sitting in the back, the seat to his right empty except for his backpack. She made her way around the crowd of student chatting before class started and as soon as she made it to the empty seat Lance moved his backpack, "thanks."

"Yeah," Lance replied quietly, "I'm not mad at you Jenna," He sighed deeply, turning his gaze in Jenna's direction, "I'm just,"

"You don't have to explain yourself Lance. I can understand why you're upset and its okay, I'll try to remember as much as I can, alright?" She told him with a smile, "I have a feeling though that if we were such good friends before, we will be now." She saw him smile and nodded, "besides, a six year long friendship doesn't just get forgotten like that."

"I'll try to help you remember too," He told her and she nodded again before the bell rang and everyone rushed to their seats. She noticed girls were giving her looks and whispering to each other. Great, she hated being the center of attention.

"Okay class we have a new student," Jenna spoke too soon; the teacher had her stand and walk to the front of the class, "Her father travels for work so she's living with a close family friend, Lance and Ilana's family." That got the girls whispering even more, "why don't you introduce yourself Jenna."

"Jenna Evans," She told him.

"Is there anything you would like to tell us about yourself Jenna?" The teacher asked happily, she seemed to be in a good mood and her high pitched voice annoyed Jenna.

"Not really," Jenna replied and went back to her seat. She had a feeling the days would go by slowly and she already wished that she was still on Galaluna fighting alongside her unit. Maybe being on earth wouldn't be all that bad though, if Lance could get through a few months of being on planet earth, so could she.
