"One two three…five eight ten! Ready or not here I come!" twelve year old Sam Shepard looked around for her two best friends. It was a bright sunny warm day on earth, it smelt of morning dew from the mist of rain that was laid upon the planet earlier that morning. Shepard pushed back her red hair, "where are they?" Shepard walked farther along huge yard of her house. Shepard smiled, oh she knew

Exactly where she was, Shepard ran over to her fathers old tool shed opening door with a satisfying creak. "Come out come out I know you're in here dude just come out." Shepard walked in further, "yah!" Shepard was tackled to the ground, her vision was covered by raven black hair. "I got you!" The girl cheered, the girl stood up off Shepard offering a hand to help the redhead up, she took the hand and stood up. "That's not the point of the game Miranda." Shepard said dusting herself off, Miranda folded her arms. "Well, better to get them before they get you." Shepard sighed,"Yeah…look I know you're trying not to think about me moving but…" Miranda was beautiful, but she had braces, she had glasses her hair was always up in a ponytail. She looked like a complete nerd. "Megan, I'm gonna miss you." Shepard caressed Miranda's redden cheek, she pulled her close and laid her lips on Miranda's, it took her breath away, it was too much so she pulled away before she potentially passed out. "I'm sorry." Shepard blushed, but Miranda was way more flushed than Shepard had ever been she was awestricken. "For what?" She choked out. "Hey!" The two jumped at the voice breaking the intense silence. "Did you guys forget about me?" Niket smiled, Shepard shook her head. "No, niket. We just were doing something."

"Megan! Come on its time to go say goodbye to your friends! Forever!" John, Shepard's older brother laughed. Shepard shook her head, "what an asshole. she turned to niket and miranda, "I gotta go." Shepard hugged niket, "take care of Miri." Shepard walked over to Miranda, she wrapped her arms around her. "I love you." she whispered. There was one thing for sure Shepard truly loved Miranda, and all her perfect Imperfections and flawless flaws, and she would not rest until she was in her arms again.


It had been three year later, Shepard was fifteen, Shepard's parents were both military so they always are moving around Shepard tried her hardest not to get attached to people but that failed miserably. She suppose that they would stay here, in mindoir for at least five years or so until they moved where ever next. Shepard would definitely follow in their footsteps, she just thought I'm gonna die anyways might as well die for something worth dying for. She was still thought about niket and Miranda, mostly Miranda…her heart grew stronger and stronger everyday for the blue beauty. Shepard had been going through some changes now a days, she use to think Miranda was beautiful back then but now she thinks she's just sexy all she wanted to was…kiss her and touch her to make her feel good and stuff. "Megan! Come on time for dinner!" John yelled, this how it was every day Shepard would just sit in her room And wait to be called

Out she didn't see much purpose except eating and school. Shepard got out of bed and trotted downstairs, it was just her and John, their mom and dad had been somewhere on mission or debriefing or something.

"Pick anytime of cereal you like." John said pouring milk in a cereal filled bowl. Shepard frowned cereal again? How long do I have to keep eating cereal? "Pass me the fruity pebbles." John smirked which was never a good thing. "Of course you would like fruity things very much like you." Shepard rolled her eyes and got the cereal herself, pouring a lot in the bowl. John sat Down at the rounded dinner table, "You know I saw your messages between you and your little girlfriend." Shepard's heart stop, "John I told you to stop looking through my shit!" Her and Miranda had only talked once during their time apart and that was last week, she had informed Shepard that she had moved all over the world with her father, during her time in California she ran away from her father and took oriana with her. Shepard hasn't seen Miranda in a while and she hasn't seen Shepard either, but that was a good thing, she wanted Miranda to see her in person she had changed a lot. She was more fit, tanner surprisingly since she was ginger, her hair became thicker and more luxurious, her teeth were sparkling white and her eyes turned from a pale green to rare emerald green. "Yeah yeah…I'm not the one who left their omni mail open on the desktop." Shepard rolled her eyes, she daydreamed about the first day her and Miranda met everyday.

"Hi. I'm Sam! Hi my names Sam! Sup girl my names Sam. No! Just go up to her." Six year old Shepard sat in the Sandbox looking back and forth between the sand castle and the pretty girl on the swing alone. "I think we should just talk to her, ask her if she'd like to play royalty with us." Niket suggested. Shepard rolled her eyes, there was many things niket still had to learn. "Nik! She's a pretty girl we can't just walk up to her and say hi." Niket tilted his head in confusion, "why not?" Shepard didn't know why, because well she was intimidated by the girl, by her beauty. "Okay I can do this. Come on." Shepard stood up and walked over to the girl with niket in tow. Shepard marched over to the girl with confidence, catching her attention just as Shepard tripped over her feet. "H-hey my names Sam Shepard, and this is niket." Shepard waited for the girl to say something, but she stayed quiet. Niket leaned and whispered in Shepard's ear. "Think she can talk?" Shepard had known niket for the three years she's been in Australia, she had come to find out that he's not the smartest. "Of course she can talk…you can talk right?" The girl smiled brightly her smile was beautiful gorgeous actually, "Of course I can speak." Shepard blushed at the angel in front of her, she rubbed the back of her neck a habit she picked up from her father. "Yeah see niket I told you she could talk." Niket laughed, "Megan was afraid to come talk to you! Because she thought you were too bootiful!" Shepard redden even more she became redder than a strawberry, she pushed niket. "I didn't say that!" Niket smiled widely, "Megan and-hey what's your name?" The girl giggled, "Miranda lawson." Niket smiled even bigger, "Megan and Miranda sittin in a tree!" Shepard was became hot and sweaty, this was embarrassing Miranda was smiling at Shepard, it was like she like watching Shepard squirm. "Megan we already got rid of your cooties! Now your just gonna get more from Miranda!" Miranda crossed her arms, "I most certainly do not have cooties!" Niket nodded rapidly, "Yeah huh! Every girl has them! And if they kiss someone they have them too!" Miranda hopped off the swing. She walked up to the red Shepard and gave her a light kiss on the cheek. "Now she has cooties." Shepard just blinked her wide eyes, "I think I like cooties."


"Oh god kill me! Just kill me you fucker! Do it do it!" Private Briggs screamed at the top of his lungs, his voice was horse they hadn't had water for two days Shepard squadron had been kidnapped by a group of bartarians on akuze. "That would be too easy wouldn't it?" The batarian chuckled, "You know, you humans are weak. Begging to be killed." Shepard spit blood out her mouth, "When I'm done with you, you'll be begging for that bullet in your head." The baterian pistol whipped Shepard in the jaw. "Shut the fuck up you human shit!" Shepard fell on her side her hands were bonded together making it hard to sit up. He stood over her, "We can get something outta this one, all bark and no bite as you humans say." Oh but was he ever so wrong, Shepard had more than talk bark she had a roar, a fire a storm, a hurricane inside her. "You sit tight ill be back with…the saw." The man left and slammed the door behind him. "We're gonna fucking die here." Briggs whispered. Shepard couldn't die here, she had something to live for. Someone. "Remember your training soldier! I will never accept defeat!" Shepard brought her bound hands under her body, bringing them in front of her, Briggs did the same waiting for what was next. "Now we're gonna hop over to the door and when he comes in I strangle him. Then we'll get the saw cut our hands and feet lose, take his gun kill everyone quietly take their gun and shoot only if necessary, is that clear?" Briggs nodded, the two jumped up and hopped to the door. It had been six years later Shepard had enlisted in the Alliance marine corps as planed. The door opened, "looky-" Shepard put her arms around the bartarian neck and brought him close to her chest chocking him out. "Shh…" she whispered, "Go to hell you four eyed shit." Brigs grabbed the saw with his free fingers, they saw away at their rope bounds before getting completely free. Shepard took the gun, "lets get our people and get the hell out of here." Shepard and Briggs made it down the dark grimy hallway leading to the room that they were brought out of from the rest of the soldiers. "Stay vigilant and quite." Shepard warned, they opened the quietly. There was ten soldiers all tied up and gagged and beaten to nearly death, four barterians in front of them . Shepard looked around the corner she spotted one baterian heading for the door she ducked quickly behind the door. "Shit, Briggs a bartarian is about to pass. Take him down." The bartarian walked pass and Briggs took action, he snapped the guys neck and laid him gently on the ground Taking his gun after. "You take out two I take out two." Shepard and Briggs took out the four with shots to the heads. "I'm proud of you Briggs." Shepard smiled and Briggs saluted. "thank you I'm proud to serv-" a gun shot rung off, Shepard checked her self for a wound realizing it wasn't her she grabbed her gun and pointed to where the bullet came from, it was a batarian and Shepard didnt hesitate to shoot killing him dead. "Sarg." A voice said shakily, Shepard got to her knees. "Briggs…dammit." He had a shot to the chest it was fatal and he knew it there was no way they would get help in time. "I'm…i failed." He said slowly. Shepard shook her head, "no I failed I got you killed. This is my fault." Briggs smiled, "no. You're a hero sarg. You saved the…squad, you're…my…hero and I'm glad…to serve…" he shut his eyes his chest stopped taking shaky breaths. He was gone. "You're my hero Briggs." Shepard smiled. Shepard cut all marines free and equipped them. "Protect me." Shepard picked Briggs up carrying him over her shoulder. "Never leave a fallen comrade."


"Sam! We have to get out of here!" Liara screamed, Shepard shook her head. "Not without joker! Just go!" Liara started to cry, "not without you! Ill stay!" Shepard stared liara right in the eyes. "GO! That's an order!" Liara was in full blown tears, "I love you." Shepard paused. "I love you too." Liara ran off to the escape pods. Shepard wanted to punch Jeff for this one, she ran to joker as fast as she could which wasn't fast. "Come on joker lets go!" She yelled, "no! I can save her!" Shepard shook her head, "there's a huge fucking hole! You're not saving shit!" Joker shook his head, "alright." The two hurried to the escape pod, joker climbed in before Shepard. But a explosion went off and Shepard couldn't reach, she pressed the button to the escape pod to send it off before distending into space. Shepard began hyperventilating, she was running out of air, she struggle in the air feeling as though she was being choked, the darkness began to fog up her vision before death engulfing her.

The next time Shepard woke up she was sore, confused and felt like death. "Shepard, Just stay calm. You're safe." Shepard started breathing faster and just as her heart. She knew that voice anywhere. "M…" she opened her eyes, to meet a pair of crystal ocean blue ones. "Just stay calm…Sam." It was her. Miranda laid a hand on her face and Shepard automatically calmed down. "Just rest Sam."Shepard closed her eyes and that's what she did, Miranda was here and she could definitely rest.
