Summary: Guess you'll just have to read *g*

Notes: Okay! Now here's a little bit of light reading for ya'all. But, before you start you might want to take into consideration that I'm new to this fanfic thing, and haven't yet seen Enterprise (it airs here next month) so if my characterization is off, sorry 'bout that..*s*. This is actually my first attempt at any kind of fanfiction, although I do read a lot of it. This story is not beta'd either…..sorry again!

Feedback: Constructive criticism is indeed welcome, 'cause if I don't know what I'm doing wrong, I can't get better at doing it right! =)

Disclaimer: I do not own any of these characters in this story, nor do I claim to..that honour goes to Paramount.





I stood, staring out into the vast blackness belong. But it wasn't completely black, for small specks of light dusted the black void. I was waiting for something. Something special. Very Special. This special thing has been years in the making. It will make history.

I'm sure you're probably wondering who I am, and what I'm waiting for. Well, I can give you an answer to both of your questions. Firstly, my name is Jonathan Archer. Captain Jonathan Archer. And the special thing it is that I'm waiting so patiently to see? I'll answer that particular question in due time.

Once again, I stare outwards. The stars. Magnificent and intriguing. Soon, I'll be traveling amongst them at speeds no human has ever experienced. I begin to grow impatient. It seems like eons later, but in reality, only minutes, that I see what I have been longing to see. Only a small shape, much like the size of a star, but it is now rapidly increasing in size as the shuttle makes its approach. I hold my breath as we pass by the forward hull of a starship. There she is, hanging in spacedock, a hive of activity buzzing around her. I read the inscription on the hull. NX- 01. Many emotions run through me; joy, awe, excitement. But only one thought passes through my head; 'she's beautiful…..and she's mine'. She being the Starship Enterprise, and I, being her new commanding officer.

The shuttle finally makes its approach, and lands softly in the shuttle bay. I stand up, and then walk slow but purposefully out of the shuttle, down the ramp, and into my future.
