She opened her eyes and was surrounded by nothing but white. Not in the, I am dead and white sort of way. No, everything was white, white walls and floor. She walked down the long hallway and wound up at a door. She slowly placed her hand on the sensor and the door opened into a large field.

"Keelah" she whispered. She made her way in the large, lush green field. She reached to pluck a flower and saw her bare skin. Taken a back she quickly examined herself and noticed she was wearing a human style dress instead of her suite. But for some reason she was not alarmed by it. She brought the flower to her face and embraced its sweet scent. She closed her eyes and savored the moment, the sweet smell of the flower, and the cool breeze on her bare skin. She stretched her arms out and began skipping through the field of flowers. As the wind brushed against her skin she could of sworn it was whispering her name.

"Tali…" She stopped dead in her tracks at the sound of his voice. She slowly turned around to find Shepard standing before her.

"Sh..Shepard.." she replied barely above a whisper.

He stepped forward slowly until they were a few inches apart. Her fear and shock got the better of her and she slowly stepped back to create more space.

"You're dead! I..I saw you die!" She stammered

He smiled, but not his normal smile. It was small and sad.

"I need you to do something for me Tali." He said as the smile disappeared from his face.

"Bu..but" she began stammering again but he held up a hand.

"I need you to be strong. I need you to keep going and hold on for me okay?" he looked at her pleadingly.

She was having trouble understanding this.

"Shepard..I…we need you!" she choked out as tears began running down her face. She stepped forward and into his embrace. His warm embrace.

"It's going to be okay Tali. Just wake up…" He said while pulling away from her.

"Wh..Shepard wait!" She tried reaching for him but her hand went through him. She pulled it back and looked at him in shock. He looked at her one more time before turning his back and walking away.

"Shepard! Don't leave me! Shepard!" She shouted before giving up and running after him. He stopped and turned around to face the quarian women in front of him. He smiled warmly at her.

"I'll be back Tali." He leaned in and kissed her forehead and began walking backwards. He kept walking until he slowly faded away.

She fell to her knees and began sobbing uncontrollably.

"Tali…Tali…Tali!" Her eyes shot open to find the familiar visor of her auntie Raan.

"Are you alright child?" Her voice laced with concern.

"Yes…I'm fine..just a strange dream." She paused while she sat up.

"I saw Shepard in my dream.." She finished weakly and slowly.

Her aunt leaned in and wrapped her arms around her young niece.

"I'm sorry child." She said sympathetically.

Tali said nothing and just looked down at her knees. Her aunt took the message and left her to be alone with her thought and to reflect.
