Lenorathetrekkie gives it 5 alien thumbs up!

AN: for the record, THIS IS NOT A MARY SUE! And for punishment for thinking that it was (if you did) you will spend the rest of the day in an atomic wedgie. Have a nice day.
FLASH! "AH!" Demitri yelled as Anja teleported into the shuttle. Still rubbing his eyes, he said, "Couldn't you have used the door?! You know I don't like it when you teleport."

Anja chuckled. "But it's more fun doing it this way." She let go of her staff, and it fell to the floor with a small thump. The smile which she had only a moment ago was replaced with concern. Anja quickly hurried over to a cabinet and pulled out a bunch of bandages. After getting the bandages, she went over to Demitri.

Sitting down next to him, Anja began to wrap his badly mangled body in the bandages. Soon the white cloth turned red as it was wrapped around the wounds. Over, under, over, under. Tie it off with a knot. Over, under, over, under. Tie it off. Demitri never took his gaze off of Anja while she worked. Over, under, over, under. She tied the knot too tight, and he gasped in pain.

She quickly pulled her hands away in surprise. "Sorry!"

It took Demitri a few seconds to compose himself after the shock. "Its, its ok. Not your fault."

She began working again. Over, under, over, under. Then, finally, the last bandage was in place.

"Done." Anja sat back and gave Demitri some room.

Demitri slowly sat up. He looked down at his muscular body, now covered with blood-stained bandages, and then gave out a long sigh.

"What?" Anja questioned.

He looked up and beckoned her to sit next to him. She scooted on over to him. Demitri reached over and took one of Anja's hands, and their fingers intertwined. With his other hand, he slowly turned Anja's face towards his. He leaned down till his lips were about a centimeter away from hers.

No words passed between the couple as they stared into each others eyes. Both were content with the fact that the other was safe. Finally, after what seemed like an eternity, he closed the gap between them and they kissed.
It was very dark and lonely in Ten-forward as Picard, Worf, Data, and Riker walked in. Guinan was behind the counter, cleaning a glass. The three men and the android walked over to her and took a seat.

"Guinan..." began Picard.

"Let me guess," said Guinan. "It's about Anja and Demitri."

"Yes," Picard said.

"How did you know?" questioned Riker.

Guinan looked at them with one of her It's-a-very-interesting-story looks. "I knew because I could sense them."

"What exactly do you mean?" an intrigued Data asked.

"It's a very long story. Are you sure you want to hear it?"

They nodded their heads.

Guinan shrugged. "All right. Let's see, where should I begin..." She closed her eyes to concentrate. "...long before my people were scattered to the wind by the Borg, our best scientists had created an object so strong, so powerful, that it stopped people from aging. It was pure energy, encased in a large round jewel. We called it The Orb."

"So this orb gave your people immortality?" Picard questioned.

"Yes," replied Guinan. "For most people, they only stay immortal as long as they have a part of The Orb with them. But, my people were around The Orb for so long we stay immortal even though we don't carry a piece with us."

"Very interesting," Data said.

Guinan nodded, and her face saddened. "And then the Borg came, and with our planets destruction, The Orb shattered into millions of tiny pieces and was scattered across the Galaxy. Fortunately, or maybe unfortunately, The Orb cannot truly be destroyed, only shattered into many pieces."

She replaced the glass she was cleaning onto the counter. "You're still wondering how Anja and Demitri are involved, am I right?"

Again, Picard, Worf, Riker, and Data nodded their heads.

"Now, two of the shattered pieces managed to get to Earth around the year 2000, or so I was told. The two shards managed to find their way into the hands of two young lovers. Their names: Anja Starling and Demitri Warsong. Somehow, during their first couple of hundred years, the shards had become imbedded into their bodies. Those two never did tell me how that one happened." She gave a little laugh.

"What's so funny?" Riker questioned.

"It's just that, those two have been fighting for the past one hundred and fifty years, I just find it odd that they're working together now. Anyway, I eventually found them and they agreed to find the pieces of the shards for my people. I think now they have collected over half of them."

Picard stood up. "Thank you Guinan."

"Your welcome"

"I'm afraid we must get going. Goodbye." Worf, Data, and Riker stood up and left with Picard.
Anja had her arms around Demitri as the both of them were sitting/laying on the floor of the small shuttlecraft.

"...you never told me what happened on Romulus," Anja said in a voice just barely above a whisper.

"...we have a new enemy, Anja."
AN: I'm so mean to leave you people in suspense. Review and I'll update. Bye.
