Notes: I'm soooooooooooooo sorry it's taken me so long to post this. I lost my disk which had like... 3 chapters on it... and I thought that it was thrown away when my dad "cleaned out the computer room".
Anyway, please enjoy... and review when you're done. ^_^
Dedication: Thank you sooooo much, Alexia Goddess, for the title! This is dedicated to you. ^_^
Disclaimer: I own nothing... except for the suitcase I got for my b-day today... which I want so I can pack what I don't own in it. ^_^

Hotaru moaned and moments later her eyes opened. "What happened?" she asked no one in particular. She sat up, ignoring the pain that seemed to be coming from all over her body. She looked around and in seconds she remembered everything. A tear ran down her cheek as she saw Susanne next to her, lifeless. She felt for a pulse, just in case, but there was none.
Then her eyes fell on Corrie who also looked dead. Hoping against hope, she felt for a pulse. At first she didn't feel anything, but then her eyes widened as she felt something. She had a weak pulse! She was still alive!
Very relieved that Corrie was still alive, she moved on, knowing that she had to find out if everyone else was okay.
She then came upon Minako who was still on top of Teresa. Teresa was dead but Minako was still alive. In fact, she was waking up too.
"Minako-chan." Hotaru said, rolling Minako onto her back. "Minako-chan, are you okay?"
Minako moaned and opened her eyes. "I-I think so." she replied as she tried to sit up, but fell back down right away. "Itai!" she yelped and put her hand on her stomach.
Concerned, Hotaru removed Minako's hand and saw that Minako had been shot in the stomach.
"Minako, don't move, okay? I'll be right back. I'm going to see how everyone else is. Don't move." Hotaru ordered, standing up and heading toward the dining room.
Minako nodded and laid still on the floor while Hotaru went to the dining room.
It seemed to Minako like Hotaru was gone for hours, but it was really just minutes. Her eyes started to droop. She was getting very tired. She was about to fall asleep when she heard voices from another room. She listened to what they said but couldn't make any of it out because she was so tired.
She sat up. It was her turn to ignore the pain. After she sat up she listened again. The voices were getting closer! She still couldn't understand them.
'Maybe they're Cardassians coming to finish us off!' she thought to herself. 'I've got to warn Hotaru.'
She grabbed onto the counter next to her and pulled herself up into a standing position. She winced at the pain, but ignored it for the time being. Right now she had to get to Hotaru.
Shockingly she was able to run, a result of being a Sailor Senshi, and she got to the dining room where she saw Hotaru kneeling over Mrs. Hart, crying.
Hotaru's head shot up when she realized that Minako was in there. She was about to yell at Minako for getting up but Minako interrupted her.
"There are people here. I think they're Cardassians."
Hotaru took out her henshin stick and transformed.
"You stay here. You're injured." she said and left to investigate.
She started by going back to the kitchen and when she got there she saw a woman kneeling by Corrie, scanning her.
There were three other people in there watching the woman, but they all turned to Hotaru when she came in.
Quickly, she took out her glaive and prepared to fight, but then she realized that they were humans and put it away. She also noticed that they were Starfleet. Realizing that they were here to help her she finally gave into the weariness and sleep that had been beckoning her since she woke up, and she fell to the ground, unconscious.

Four blue, glittery beams appeared on the front porch of brown 3-storey Dutch Victorian house. The beams only lasted a few seconds and when they disappeared the away team stood in their place.
Everyone took out their tricorters and began scanning the area.
"There are three life-signs inside the house." Doctor Crusher stated and proceeded to open the antique door.
Riker was right behind the doctor, followed by Data and Wesley.
Inside they could see a stairway immediately to their left and a door to their right. Riker pushed open the door revealing a furnished office of some sort.
Beyond the staircase were two other doors. One was open, showing the away team a furnished living room with pocket doors that were shut.
Across from the stairway was yet another door and another doorway. The door opened into a bathroom and the doorway led to a kitchen.
In the kitchen, there was a door that led to the basement and another stairway.
On the other side of the island counter there were three bodies. They were all female children. Beverly quickly knelt down by a blonde child and scanned her. The doctor shook her head an moved onto the other two girls. The smallest one was also dead and the oldest was alive but needed immediate medical attention. The doctor was about to call the ship when she saw another girl come into the room from the dining room.
The girl took out some kind of weapon and then collapsed.
Crusher was puzzled but would try and figure it out later. Quickly, she ran to the girls' side and scanned.
"She's suffering from a major concussion and she's bleeding into her large intestine. I need to get her to the ship immediately."
Riker nodded and called the ship and moments later the two wounded girls and Doctor Crusher disappeared, leaving Commander Riker, Data and Wesley to find the other
survivor.
Riker took out his tricorter again and scanned for the last life-sign. "Over there." he said, pointing to the dining room. Wesley and Data followed their commanding officer into the last room on the floor.
Notes: Again, sorry it's taken me so long to get this out. Let me know what you think of it though. ^_^ Thanks!
