Thanks for your lovely reviews! Disclaimer in chapter 1!

Hoshi was sitting in the corner of the room. Many times she had heard heavy footsteps walking past the door. She had yelled, screamed, pleaded but nobody came. She started to doze off but she pinched herself.

'Stay awake, Hoshi.' She whispered to herself. Maybe talking to herself, something she always did when she was stressed, would help. Hoshi remembered that just before she and T'Pol had left Travis had talked to her in her quarters.

'Nothing is going to happen, Travis.' Said Hoshi while searching through her closet. Travis was sitting on a chair next to her desk.

'Well, when you get back, we're going to have a date in the sweet spot.' Said Travis smiling. 'Promised, boomer. Well, I have to go.' Said Hoshi softly and kissed Travis his nose and then his mouth. She wanted to stay here, kissing Travis the whole day but she had to go.

'See you soon. And let's have a picnic in the sweet spot, 'kay?' Said Hoshi and then left. Travis smiled.

Hoshi smiled at herself, thinking of that. She and the boomer had started a relationship two weeks ago and she was very happy. She missed Travis. What was he doing right now? Maybe showering… Hoshi thought about Travis in the shower.

She blushed purple.

'Oh, you're definitely not going to think of that, young lady!' Said Hoshi sternly to herself, but giggling. She was interrupted by the door. It opened and a man came in. A alien with very white skin and a long face.

'I am Ensign Hoshi Sato of the starship Enterprise. Why have you abducted me and Subcommander T'Pol? Has she been harmed?' Asked Hoshi and stood up, shakily. The man walked to her.

'Your crewmate has not been harmed. I'm Karakos. Please come with me, I'll give you something to eat and treat your injuries.' Said Karakos.

Hoshi wasn't really in a state to protest and her head was really hurting. And she was starving. Karakos helped her walking and brought her to a white room with a table and a chair. Hoshi sat down and Karakos took some kind of device.

'What are you doing?' Asked Hoshi terrified.

'Treating your injuries, Hoshi.' Said Karakos and immediately the pain in her head and leg went away. Hoshi sighed relieved.

'Wow.' She whispered. Karakos then brought some food from a thing he called a 'replicator'. A slice of pizza and mint tea. Hoshi started eating eagerly. Karokas stood in front of her. He had been really nice, treating her injuries, giving her something to eat but still she didn't trust him.

'Can I see T'Pol?' Asked Hoshi. She really wanted to talk to T'Pol. T'Pol would help, T'Pol was logical.

'No. She is treated for her injuries.' Said Karokas shortly. Hoshi bit her lip.

'Why did you abduct us?' Asked Hoshi then.

'I have not abducted you and your crewman. I saw you crashing down and I took you here to treat your injuries.' Said Karokas.

'But… there were no life signs on the planet. T'Pol double checked!' Said Hoshi.

'I have good shields that protect my house.' Said Karokas smiling. Hoshi took another sip from her mint tea, not too cold and not too hot. Hoshi thought back at the times her mother would make mint tea for her. She looked up and saw Karokas looking at her. She shivered.

T'Pol was standing next to T'Mir, who was having some flying lessons from Travis Sato. Trip had been right, T'Mir was a good pilot.

'So, what do you think, mum?' Asked T'Mir.

'You are a good pilot, T'Mir.' Said T'Pol. Captain Archer chuckled. T'Pol still found it strange to see him with a beard. He was married now, his wife lived on Earth. T'Pol had seen a picture of her. Lieutenant Hagen, a woman from the Netherlands with dark curly hair in a ponytail and a very sharp tongue was now working behind T'Pols work station. Captain Archer had said that she couldn't work if she didn't remember anything. Enterprise had changed and he didn't thought it would be safe. Malcolm Reed with gray hair and a moustache was busy instructing an ensign. T'Pol felt very overwhelmed by everything. She had a hard time adjusting to everything and her emotions were still very close to the surface. T'Mir adjusted the course.

'You're doing great, T'Mir!' Said Travis Sato smiling. 'She's a good learner, commander Tucker.'
T'Pol also found it very strange to be called Commander Tucker. When somebody called her she still thought they were referring to Commander Trip Tucker, not her.

Hoshi Sato walked in.

'Hey guys! Travis, here the scans you asked for!' Said Hoshi, kissed her husband on the cheek and then handed him the scans.

T'Mir stood up.

'Sorry, but I have to meet Tom.' Apologized T'Mir.

'Well, tell my lazy son that he still has to clean his bedroom.' Said Hoshi and winked at T'Mir. To T'Pol her surprise T'Mir winked back and then left the bridge. And suddenly T'Pol felt very lonely. She was an outsider.

Travis Mayweather was sitting at the helm, staring into space. Hoshi and T'Pol were already three hours late! He looked forward to his and Hoshi's picnic. Commander Tucker and Captain Archer had disappeared in the ready room. Travis smiled, knowing that Commander Tucker was very very worried about Subcommander T'Pol. Of course, he would never admit it…

Travis then daydreamed about him and Hoshi who were having a picnic in the sweet spot. Hoshi would wear her blue dress.. Travis chuckled. Lieutenant Reed looked at him irritated.

'Ensign?'

'Nothing sir. Nothing, nothing.' Said Travis smiling.

Hoshi had finished eating.

'Can I contact Enterprise?' She asked. Karokas shook his head.

'I am repairing your shuttle and I don't have any communication devices.' Said Karokas. Hoshi didn't believe him but decided not to say anything.

'I really want to see T'Pol.' Said Hoshi. Suddenly they both heard a soft peeping sound. Hoshi immediately recognized the sound, Malcolm's explosives!

She stood up and crouched up in the corner, shielding her face with her hands.

KABOOM!
When Hoshi opened her eyes the door was gone and Karokas was lying on the floor. Captain Archer, Commander Tucker and Ensign Mayweather ran in, together with two MACO's.

'Captain!' Whispered Hoshi happily. Mayweather helped her up. 'We have to find T'Pol, the alien said that she is being treated for her injuries but I don't believe her.'

Then she noticed the sad looks in their eyes and that Trip had been crying.

'We already found her. Dead.' Said Trip. Hoshi gasped.

'Dead?' She whispered. T'Pol was dead? Karokas groaned.

'I killed her!' He grinned. Trip cursed and wanted to pull his weapon but Captain Archer looked at him sharply.

'Trip, count to ten..'

Hoshi would have laughed if the situation wasn't so bad.

Then Karokas pulled a weapon and shot Hoshi in the chest, so fast that nobody could do anything. The last thing she registered was that Mayweather held her and then everything went black.
