A/N: So, after a bit of a break on this fic and upon requests, I've decided to continue this fic; but I'm not entirely sure where exactly it'll go just yet. xD


Chapter 2: Remember

Jenny woke up to her alarm clock blaring, indicating that it was 6 in the morning. She groaned, her head hurt.

She tried to remember what had happened last night.

She remembered meeting a charming guy called Stephen, sharing a few drinks with him, as well as a dance or two.

Then,—oh, God.

Jenny shot straight up, running her hands through her hair.

"What the hell have I done?" She spoke softly.

Images of the kiss and her utter excitement at enjoying Stephen's company came flooding back as her conscience reared its ugly head.

She was in a relationship with Mark for God's sake. Why the hell was still pub-hopping trying to find someone who wasn't the man she was already with?

She had to admit though, there were times when Mark would be a bit clingy, but it did seem as though he loved her. But then, why did she also have the greater desire to want to be with Stephen as opposed to Mark?

She fell back on her bed, covering her face as she continued to contemplate her conundrum.

After a few minutes, she decided that she would be better off if she forgot all about Stephen. The chances of her ever seeing him again were slim to none.

That only left the question about what to do about the situation with Mark.

She didn't have much time to think about it, though, as her phone began to ring.

"Hello?" She answered, doing her best to maintain a calm and professional voice.

"Hello, am I speaking to a Miss Jennifer Lewis?" A voice asked.

"This is she. Who may I ask is calling?"

"Sir James Lester. I am calling in regards to your résumé that you submitted to the ARC about filling a PR position."

"Yes."

"I would like for you to be here by 9 am sharp, this morning."

"I have the job?" Jenny asked in disbelief.

"Yes, that is, if you accept."

"Yes, sir; thank you very much."

"Good I'll see you in about three hours."

Jenny was about to respond when the man had hung up on her, leaving her with a dial tone.

She glanced back at her clock. "Time to get a shower and get dolled up for the job that I start in three hours."

"Damn, I really wish that I hadn't stayed out so late." She muttered as she forced herself off of the bed to go and get ready for the day.


Stephen couldn't believe how his life had gone from amazing to total hell. One minute, he is with the most amazing and beautiful women he has ever met, the next he is nearly killed multiple times a raptor.

He was sitting in the medical bay of the ARC as one of the doctors put a few stitches in his left foot where the raptor had managed to puncture his shoes and into his foot.

It hurt like hell, but he'd live.

As one of his favorite movies stated "it's only a flesh wound."

Although, he would never openly admit that he watched Monty Python and the Holy Grail. It was one of the few secrets that he had left, that weren't going to completely destroy his life.

His mind wandered back to before the call about the anomaly came in. The time he had spent at the pub with Jenny. He was slightly depressed that he would more than likely never see her again.

She had seemed like she knew him so well.

Just as Stephen started to think about the kiss they shared, he was snapped back to reality, flinching as the doctor finished stitching his foot.

"You're all done, Hart." The doctor smiled.

"Thanks." Stephen said as he slipped his sock and boot back on.

"Though, if I were you, I'd book it to the Main Operations room stat." The doctor suggested smiling slightly.

"Why?" Stephen asked puzzled.

"Heard Lester hired some new PR and that she's a real looker." The doctor elaborated, emphasizing the statement by moving his eyebrows up and down.

Stephen smirked as he patted the doctor on the shoulder. "Yeah, I'll just hobble right up there."

As Stephen limped toward the door of the Medical Bay, Leek entered the room with the last person Stephen expected to see in the ARC, Jenny.

"Oh, hello," Leek remarked awkwardly, smiling. "Stephen, this is our new PR, Jenny Lewis. Jenny this is one of the other members of the main response team, Stephen Hart."

"You." Stephen and Jenny said in unison.

"Do you two know each other?" Leek asked puzzled.

"What are you doing here?" Stephen asked sounding both angry and confused.

"What are you doing here?" She asked. "I thought you worked in a hospital or something."

"I never said that." Stephen replied.

"Well, this is all well and good, but you two will have two catch up some other time." Leek interrupted. "Jenny has a lot of paperwork to finish filling out."

Stephen and Jenny exchanged a look before continuing their separate ways.

Jenny noticed Stephen's limp, but decided to question him about it, among other things, after she finished her paperwork.


Sorry it's so short; I'm in the midst of writing piles of research papers and didn't really have the time to plan out a proper chapter. ^^;

Next one will be longer!

Please Review! ;D
