Lookie boys and girls! It's a new chapter! I have a pretty long beginning a/n here, so anyone who doesn't wanna hear me ramble on for a while can just skip down to the story. But if ya read the a/n, u get a cookie!

Okay, I know it's been a while since I posted a new chapter, but I just started high school 2 days ago, and I've had a lot of work, so ya can't blame me. Last week I started getting signs telling me to write chapter 5. Maybe my muse came back and is trying to annoy me. I was in the middle of theology and I was randomly reminded of a dream I had had about Andromeda. I had been planning to write a story about it, which would be a sequel to this. Actually, I was thinking of making this into a series. Then, in history class I noticed that my teacher had a piece of paper on her desk that said Rebecca on it in big letters. That made me think hmm…Rebecca…Beka…Andromeda…need to write my story. It also kinda freaked me out that my teacher had a thing saying REBECCA on it. 'Course, that was before I found out that that was her little daughter's name. Hehehe. Then, I got home and found out that today the episode of Forever Knight that I had wanted to see for a LONG time was going to be on. I used to only watch Andromeda when there was nothing else on. There were two reasons why I started watching (and loving) it every week. One reason was the hottie (I still love u Harper!!!) and the other was that I had just started watching FK reruns on scifi and found out that one of the characters, Tracey, was played by Lisa Ryder, who, as we all know, is Beka. I wanted to write this last night but I had too much hw. Luckily today I finished it all during my free.

Wow, ok, that was long. Srry. But I'm done now, I promise. Now, on to the story!

~~~~

After they had eaten breakfast, the girls were given a tour of the ship. Just as Trance was about to tell them about the wonder that is known as hydroponics, they heard the ship's voice saying,

"There is a small fleet of Netzchien ships approaching. They are opening fire."

Right on cue the ship began to shake from the impact of the missiles.

"Now we'll hear a little alarm thingy, followed by Dylan yelling 'battle stations'." Sami didn't seen the least bit shaken as she said this, and the words had barely left her mouth when a little alarm thingy sounded, followed by Dylan yelling "battle stations!"

Everyone turned to stare at Sami for a brief moment before running off to command where they took their positions and engaged in battle.

~~~~ A little while later ~~~~

"Well, we may have beaten them, but the ship is pretty damaged and we're going to have to stop for parts. The nearest planet is Tenalp. (a/n: really original, isn't is?) I want Tyr and Trance to stay here with the girls and the rest of us will take the Maru down to the planet." Dylan gave his instructions to the crew and visitors.

"I may be many things," commented Tyr, "But I most certainly am not a babysitter."

"Yeah Dylan," Beka interjected, "Do ya really think it's such a good idea to leave 3 kids with Tyr?"

"I'll be here too!" said Trance

"For crying out loud! We're not kids!" that was Sami.

"Alright, alright! They can come!"

~~~~And so our heroes headed off to the planet…~~~~

 After they landed, Dylan and Beka stayed with the Maru, while the teen trio went with Harper and Rommie to get…uh, I forgot why they were on the planet. Oh well…On their way back from getting…something, a man in a long hooded cloak stepped in front of the girls.

"There is a reason you are here. You have been chosen." Once the deep voice was finished, he turned and disappeared into a crowd of people.

"Who was that?" asked Harper "And what was he talking about?"

"I couldn't see his face." Replied Sarah.

"He said there was a reason why we're here. Maybe he knows how we got here and how we can get back."  Kristina spoke up for once.

"Well, let's go back to the Maru and see what Dylan has to say. Then we'll go find that man and see what he knows. Maybe. If Dylan agrees. Because Dylan is always right." Rommie finished praising the star of all her fantasies and led the group back to the ship.

A/n: Who's this mystery man? Will the girls ever get home? Will Rommie profess her love for Dylan (finally)? Will Sami get to kiss Harper (lucky little…)? Will the fluffy bunnies come to wreak havoc in the Porsche they bought with the stolen credit card (Drama class thing…don't ask)??? Keep reading and find out…

A/n2: sarcasticallyI'm feeling really loved right now. At lunch my friend and I were talking about people in our grade and the conversation turned to who hated who. I just got off the phone with her right before I finished this chapter. We had been finishing our little chat. I found out that a bunch of girls I thought I was friends with hated me. Well, a few of them didn't surprise me, but there's this one girl who just left my school and I had been sooooo nice to her when she started here in the middle of 6th grade. Apparently she hates me. Luckily, all my close friends (the ones I hang out w/ this year) like me. That I know for a fact.

Anyway, on to more happy things. I wrote the beginning a/n last Friday. I don't get why like half my grade is complaining about having too much hw. I had a debate team meeting and play auditions after school and I still had time to finish my hw before 8. Yesterday, I did something I hadn't done for years…I went to sleep at 10pm!!! Not only did I do that, but this morning I actually got to school really early. I normally get there seconds before the first bell. Where was I? Oh yeah, REVIEW!!! You could already be a winner! Well, not really…I'd have nothing to give ya…well, unless u want a laptop that keeps breaking. But guess what??? I already have 12 reviews! They like me, they really like me!

Speaking of which, Star…I started reading ur story…It's really good. Didn't get too read too much (reading other stories makes me feel guilty for not writing my own) but I liked what I did read. Having another friend who watches Andromeda would make me a very happy camper!! E-mail me @ darkangel121@usa.com.

BTW: I write really long a/ns don't I? If u're getting tired of them and want me to shut up, then say so in a review. But I'm warning u, if no one says anything, I'm gonna keep this up!

Adios!
