"So, where are we going?" Sarah asked the counselor as they were walking down the corridor.
Deanna tried to hold in her sigh. "Sickbay." She said, plainly. Troi hated to be so decieteful to this child, who had come to trust her so much. "Dr. Crusher wanted to say good-bye."
"Oh." The girl replied. She stopped walking, which caused her to tug on the counselor's hand. Troi turned around to see what had happened.
"Sarah?" she asked, questioning the abrupt halt.
"I just wanted to say…thank you." Sarah told her. "For everything. I'll will never forget your kindness." She promised the counselor.
With her eyes nearly brimming with tears, Deanna could only nod.
The two entered sickbay, where Dr. Crusher was waiting. Sarah ran over to hug her, and Beverly took her in her arms. "Good-bye, Sarah." She whispered sadly. Before the child could go anywhere, the doctor gave her a sedative.
