A/N: Wwwwooowwww, I think this could win the award for shortest part ever written. I just couldn't think of how I wanted everything to happen! Its like my brain shut down or something. Or could have something to do w/ this paper I have to write. *shudder* CURSE TEACHERS WHO GIVE HOMEWORK OVER CHRISTMAS BREAK! Lolol ok that's over. So anyway, this part is extremely short, but after this part I know where I'm going with the story so I shouldn't any trouble writing it. *AND THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS!!!!!!*

Summary: Beka and Harper crash on a planet that they think is abandoned.but its not!!

**********************************************

Chapter 2b

Meanwhile, Harper was back on the Maru trying to keep from having another panic attack.

"Ok, ok, ok," he took in a huge gulp of air between each word, "Think.Beka's gone," Harper looked around the Maru, searching for some kind of hint. "Where could she be?" He muttered.

There was nothing; no sign of a struggle, heck, no sign that Beka had even been here! Which made him think.maybe Beka wasn't forced to leave. Maybe she left on her own. Maybe she was mad at him for screwing up the Maru. Maybe she left him here, all alone, on a strange planet!

The room turned a strange gray color and Harper realized he had stopped breathing. Slowly allowing the air to rush back in his lungs, he tried to calm down.

"Beka wouldn't leave me," he told himself. "She promised she wouldn't leave me. She *always* keeps her promises." He managed to relax somewhat. She probably just went out to find help. That had to be it. But then why did she just leave him lying there?

"Beka didn't leave," he said out loud, although he was still trying to convince himself. Suddenly Harper felt unbelievably tired. The room started spin and Harper fell to the ground unconscious.

** Ok!!! I'm glad that parts over!! B/c I know where I'm going from there!! YIPEE!!! I still have to write this paper thing though so it might take a while to finish the chapter.
