OK, to explain the situation: I, DemonicAngelic, prior to this story, was
JennRD. (previous story - Bexlie) Janine1 and I decided a while back to
become joint-authors and create a rather lengthy Red Dwarf related
fanfic... It's a She-writes-a-chapter, then I-write-a-chapter kind of
chapter layout... starting with Janine.
So... hope you enjoy... thanks for reading!
~*~ Disclaimer: No characters in Red Dwarf belong to either Janine or I, all excepting Jade Greene (arf!) and Jack Konrad, who do, in fact, belong to us - and we'll sue your asses if anyone nicks them.. Only joshin! :-) ~*~
Enjoy this Teen-created, international tale of adventure, love, loss and overly-cute romantic gestures.... or else.

"That lonely thought has left my mind as I begin to fall My one last ride that will end it all"
A solitary tear followed gently as the near ink-less pen was placed tentatively on the cold desk.
Jade silently sat in her small sleeping quarters. New tears stinging the fresh gash just below hey left eye. It was the second time this month he had done something to her. There was no one to stop him. He could kill her if he wanted to. There were plenty of ways to do it, aboard this little shuttle. Who could possibly help them? Who would even want to?
She signed and remembered how she and Jack had met. He had been a researcher for new equipment, visiting her ship temporarily. She was assigned to show him and his team of researchers around. That night he had invited her into his temporary quarters. He was older than her; by about five years. He was Tall, and had attractive dark hair. At the time he had a goatee on the chin of his slender face (which he had not had since) She had been under his spell. He was only going to be on the ship a few months, but they decided to date. Jade was young and sophisticated looking. She was slender, and had long, jet-black hair that graced her shoulders. Her skin was an olive color, but her cheeks had a rosy glow to them. She hadn't thought of herself as all that attractive, and was surprised at the time when someone had. This surprise allowed her not to question all the things he did, and not to mention anything when he made her go far past her comfort level.
The ship had been attacked.
No one knew who had attacked it or what had happened. Jack and Jade had been making love in Jack's private shuttle at the time, and were able to escape in time, but there were no other survivors. The ship was destroyed. They had been in the small shuttle, no bigger than a small house, for months, with no hope of being rescued. During this period of time, Jack decided to put both of them into stasis, so that they didn't have to wait around to be rescued, and waste their resources. He had set it to turn off when the computer detected another ship's signal, but no one ever came. No one came for 3 million years. They were finally let out, 3 million years later, when the ship's computer could no longer sustain them.
Jade often spent her days alone in her quarters. All she could do was read and re-read her book collection. All her books were on a small CD that she kept with her. She read them by projecting them on a special screen. This technology had been developed by her boyfriend, and his former team of researchers. He had been happy that she used it so much. Other than read she would write. Endless diary entries, poems, manuscripts, plays, whatever her mind produced. All also kept on similar discs. It was all she could do to keep herself entertained.
Jack would normally keep himself secluded in his quarters, as well. Except he was far less productive. The only thing that kept him through the day was his nearly endless supply of alcohol and Cigarettes. When they first met, he didn't drink much, and only smoked 1 or 2 a day, but now it seemed to be all he did. It was probably responsible for his random acts of violence towards Jade.
The door suddenly burst open. Jade looked up at Jack. He was a mess. He hadn't gotten out of his pajamas, and hadn't shaved in weeks. Jade could smell the alcohol in his breath and was afraid he would hit her again. Instead he just stood there, covering his eyes from the overhead light. "We pickin' up another signal... you take care of it." he slurred, then ungracefully walked out of the room. Jade, in a confused manner, got up from her bed, wiped her tears, and walked towards the main console. They were, indeed, picking up a signal from another ship.
A certain "Red Dwarf."
