~*~Disclaimer=me now own!~*~Hey! This is the sequel to Remembering Me so to
get the background info on Hannah Tarry and her relationship to Malcolm you
might want to read it so it's a bit clearer. Right this first chapter's
gonna mostly be letters but a story so to speak will come next chapter or
something like that, ok?!~*~
Dear Hannah,
All my memory's returned so cancel that order of marbles. Injuries are healing ok, ribs hurt a bit, ankle's still scuppered.
So I'm on crutches-bloody brilliant. It only adds to the excessively irritating attitude the others have adopted one of 'lets-wrap-Malcolm-in- cotton-wool' my own staff are even telling me to leave the armoury if I'm in there for more than one shift! Under Trips guidance I've no doubt.
I finally plucked up the courage to ask Hoshi out on a date-sort of. I think I was under the influence of pain medication at the time but that's not the point!
It went well, considering I was a hobbling, nervous wreck. Hoshi was really lovely though-she even gave me a goodnight kiss.
Now I know you're probably either sat at your desk or sat on your bed reading this and I also predict you're currently saying I told you so-well don't! An don't look at the letter with that innocent/mock horror look. I know you too well Hannah and I know exactly how you react to my letters!
Nothing much interesting has happened really since then. No-one trying to kill me at least which makes an interesting change and no one trying to destroy Enterprise which is a first. It seems for every friendly new culture we meet there are at least five others who want to kill us/enslave us/experiment on us etc etc.
So how's life back on terra firma? I'm assuming you have less cadets coming in with phaser wounds in various (and deeply disturbing) places. I hope you're not too busy.
I told Trip about you then he called you 'Wonder woman' I'm not sure whether I should be amused or offended by that remark. I think he was bored then so he's written you this and told me I had to include it in the letter.
Trip's Top Ten Do's and Don'ts in the Universe:
1=DO NOT! I REPEAT DO NOT! Stick ya hand in summats that looks like shiny pebbles-very disturbing consequences. (Very true)
2=Do ensure alien cultures stay away from mah engines-even if Jon has made friends with 'em (and the armoury-guns aren't for being pawed about by strangers)
3=Do avoid being shot(I don't Trips quite mastered this one yet!)
4=Don't crash a shuttlepod(Or this one
5=Do resist the urge ta say somethin' biting in response to T'Pol. (Or this)
6=Do make sure if chefs made pecan pie ya get a slice-or three
7=Don't ever leave a man behind (or woman)
8=Don't judge people by looks alone-or ya might get mugged. (Yes, you even dragged me into that one)
9=Do make sure ya don't ignore ya friends. (Or smother them with kindness Trip)
10=An' most important.... Don't do what I wouldn't do!
Quite an optimistic list really.
I do appreciate their company and help really it's just sometimes it's more of a hindrance.
Write back
Love Malcolm

Hey Malcolm!
Tell Trip his list was very funny!
I cancelled the order of marbles for ya.
I can just imagine you hobbling round on crutches. To be cruel and bitchy it's very funny too!
I told you you should ask Hoshi out. Am master matchmaker even from this far away! See going with the flow is good! I want details-the academy has been going slow on really hot gossip-I feel deprived! I really need a life... anyway....
Theres nothing exciting going on here-the highlight of my week has been visiting my mum-she sends her love by the way, she heard a highlighted account of events of what happened to you and went of in a tangent about the dangers of space exploration. Her exact first reaction was "the poor lad!" you know what she's like.
The cadets have finally discovered how to use a phaser-not getting many phaser wounds in-thank god! Anymore like that Cadet with the unfortunate aiming problem and I would've started looking for a nice quiet civilian hospital job!
I got asked out by this guy who teaches biology but unfortunately the guy is about 80 so I politely declined and waited for drop in self assurance. I'm beginning to think I'll end up some mad old spinster with sixty million cats and a brown sofa.
But then I watch a good ole chick flick and the world becomes a better place!
Never underestimate cake and buns-cake heals all wounds, buns heal the mini wounds and then chocolate sorts out the rest.
I know I probably sound crazy but it's late and I'm knackered-the paperwork has been piling up again and I'm slowly but surely disappearing under a huge pile.
I've applied for a new job that I got wind of t'other day, it's a good post but I'm not gonna say where in case I don't get it 'cause I don't want to feel stupid and I don't want you pulling any strings! If I do get considered I have to do loads of other courses so expect long whining letters if I get it and if I don't still expect long whining letters!

Dear Hannah,
Tell your mum not to worry about me! I have enough people worrying about me!
I can't spend long on this letter, I've got lots to do, I spent my shift running diagnostic scans and am depressed about how lax things got in there. No body's fault of course but its still a pain.
I can't believe you won't tell me where you're applying for! I wouldn't pull strings-just name drop or send a letter of recommendation or something! I mean I can hardly do much from all the way out here! Give me some credit!
Had another date with Hoshi-you're not having any details! You'll just have to deal with gossip deprivation the way we normally do-start a Chinese whisper and watch it grow!
I really have to go lots to do,
Love Malcolm

~*~I know hardly the most exciting first chapter but reviews would be welcome! Even bad comments, s'all good! More to come soon!~*~
