I awoke. I found myself walking slowly to my near-empty fridge. I picked out a slightly bruised piece of fruit. I walked back to my seat and looked out the cockpit window. I had long since forgot my memories, but I'd expect that's because I've lived in that dingy little room for quite a while now. I winced as I sat, feeling pain shoot up through my ravaged leg. I desperately tried to remember my survival training at the academy, to no avail. I slowly ate the fruit, the name of which had eluded me just as my memories had. It was a long time since I felt happy, a long time since my deep brown eyes glimmered with joy, a long time since I felt hope. I had totally given up hope of anyone rescuing me. I shed a few tears, and felt them run down my fur, which was a lighter shade of navy. I opened my cockpit to get some air, and was surprised to hear a gasp. My instincts made me grab my blaster from my belt-mounted holder, and aimed it up at the window. "I may have lost my memories, but I've certainly not forgotten how to fight." I continued to point up at the window, poised for an attack. When that attack didn't come, I considered looking out to see what made the noise. But I paused as a female vixen look in at me through the window. I was momentarily stunned; that vixen had stirred something in my memory… "Cerinia… yes, I was born on Cerinia…" I turned my attention to my visitor and noticed she was also covered with blue fur, a Cerinian, like myself. I lowered my gun, and in a hoarse voice I barely recognized as my own, I asked her who she was. She replied in a shy voice, "Oh, I'm sorry… I saw your craft and came to investigate. I hope I didn't disturb you..." I fumbled as I said, "No, no. It's just that… I thought… someone came to rescue me…" She stepped into the small ship and gazed wide eyed at its contents. Then she focused on me, almost staring at me for a long second, "She has the same eyes as… What was her name? K… It began with a K…" Then, she suddenly placed her paws on my cheeks, and began to lick a spot just above my eyebrow. "Hey!" I exclaimed, but she paid no attention to me. She just continued licking as a dull pain start to spread through my forehead. I was putting up a weak struggle, but I kind of liked the attention. She stopped for a moment and said, "…Hold still, I'm just cleaning this cut…" I stopped struggling and let her continue. For a brief moment, I felt content. "I didn't think happiness was even possible after what I've been through." Soon after, I fell into a long, carefree sleep, my head carefully cradled in her paws.
