A/N: Ok, once again it's been awhile since I've updated. But I just got out of the hospital a while ago and I had alot of catching up to do in school. And if you're wondering why I was in the hospital, it was because I have this disease called neurocysticercosis. It means I have a tapeworm in my brain. It was causing vision problems and headaches and seizures. And it can be fatal if you don't get treatment, but I'm fine, I'm good, and I'm rambling.

Disclaimer: Once again, I own nothing.

Italics: Means that they're talking on the 2way radio

2 Months later

Ship: Rizon

Crew: 4

Destination: DV-927 Kior

Paige and the rest of the crew lay in suspended amimation as the ship continues to Kior. The occasional rumble of the ships engine and the whispering of the air support system doesn't disturb their slumber. The whirring and beeping of the computer cuts through the air as each persons hypersleep tubes unlocks and slides open. Paige was the first to awaken. She lay in her tube waiting for someone else to wake up before venturing outside the pressure door that kept this room seperated from the rest of the ship. She hoped it would be soon, she was so hungry. She expected to be after being asleep for so long. She decided she couldn't wait for the others and got up, pulled the moniters off her body and left the room. She walked down the corridor hoping she could remember where the kitchen was. She walked up the stairs to the next deck and went down another corridor where she found the kitchen she'd been in before. If she hadn't known she was in hypersleep, she'd say she was just in here the night before. Strange how time passes so quickly when you're sleeping. She sat down at the table eating cereal. That was such a weird feeling for Paige. She always imagined, even on futuristic spaceships, that you'd be floating around eating green goo out of a squeezeable tube. Space travel really has come a long way since her time.

"Hey, we were wondering where you got to." Gypsy and the guys came into the room and grabbed some breakfast and sat at the table with Paige.

"Well I couldn't let myself starve. So what's on the agenda today?" Devon handed her a box from across the table.

"You're going to change into the clothes in this box so that you'll blend in with us. Today we're going to transfer to a much larger ship that'll take us the rest of the way. We'll also be adding a couple of people to our crew and I think it's best to keep your situation quiet. In a couple of days we'll go back into hypersleep."

"Do you know these people?"

"Oh yeah, they're old friends. We do this sort of thing with them all the time. But if they ask who you are, you're a flight officer in training."

"Right. So when do we get there."

"About an hour or so. We better get the shuttle prepped for docking."

"Riley, you should probably go down to the shuttle and check to make sure everything is connected and online. I'll go make sure the control room is functioning properly." Gypsy and Riley went their seperate ways and Devon led Paige down a hall until they came to a pressure door.

"Go in there and change into your new clothes and call me when you're done."

"And where exactly will you be?"

"I'll be consulting with Malachy."

"Who?"

"Malachy is the name of our main computer system." He led her to some switches on the wall that had the names of the crew on them. He pointed to the one with his picture on it. "Press this and you'll be able to contact me anywhere in the ship. It works like a two-way radio system. I have to get to work. I'll see you soon and then we can discuss a few things."

Paige hated being left alone in this strange place. It left her alone to thoughts she didn't want to think. What if she never returned to her sisters. She wondered if they knew she was missing and what they would do about it. She'd never considered the possibility that maybe they could bring her back somehow. Thats even if they knew where she was, or even knew she was alive. But what would happen to them? They don't have the power of three anymore, and that would leave them vulnerable. And then they might be.... "Stop it Paige." She couldn't torture herself like this anymore. She just had to focus on the present and not worry about the past. Because in some weird twisted way the past was just that, the past. She walked into the small room and changed into her knew clothes. It was a uniform not like the others but similar. In fact none of the uniforms were the same, each one seemed to have their own personal touch added. Devon wore a red short sleeved shirt under his white shortsleeved button down shirt that no one bothered to button. Gypsy and Paige had light grey shirts under their white button down shirts. Riley wore a white shirt and a light blue button down shirt. Gypsy had "... anything but the truth" stenciled on the back of her button down shirt. All four of them wore white pants and sneakers. Paige was the only one who didn't have anything personal added to hers. But what difference did it make? She was planning on going back home as soon as possible. She stepped out of the room and contacted Devon who explained to her how to get to Malachy's control room. Paige came into a small room where Devon sat at a computer typing God knows what. Paige stood there for a few minutes waiting for him to turn around. He must have heard the rush of air when she came through the pressure door. Devon turned around, stood up and led Paige back down the hall.

"There are a few things I need to show you for your own personal safety and also to back up your cover." They climbed down to the bottom deck and continued down another hall. The ships engines could actually be heard down here. They went through another pressure door and came to what looked like a smaller version of the control room when they took off. Except it two cryotubes and a supply of food. "Come over here." Paige walked over to where Devon stood at the windshield inbetween two seats. "Sit down." Paige did as she was told wondering what was going on. "Now, we're only gonna go over the basics. I don't want to overload your mind."

"The basics of what? Flying? You gotta be out of your mind. I can't fly. And there's no reason for me to learn." Paige was about to stand up but Devon pushed her back down.

"Listen to me, you have to keep up appearances, or they'll suspect something. We can't trust anyone with your secret."

"I thought you these people were you're friends."

"They are, but knowledge can be a dangerous thing. If this were to get out, we risk getting captured and killed. Now don't worry about this. You won't have to fly for real, only simulation."

"Alright, show me what to do."

Control room: Gypsy is working

"Riley are you having any problems with four module?"

"No it's working fine down here. Why?"

"Well, I'm having some problems getting it online. Theres alot of static. Can you check the wiring for me?"

"Sure, just a second."

Gypsy continued to try to get four module online but could come up with only static. "Dammit. Stupid thing had to malfunction now of all times."

Gypsy, I think I know whats wrong with it."

"What is it?"

"The wires look like they've been melted."

"What do you mean melted?"

"Exactly that. Theres also a burn on the metal behind the wires. I guess it must have been an electrical fire. Looks like Malachy put it out before it caused to much damage."

"I wonder how it started."

"Must have been a bad wire. I'll replace it so you can finish."

Shuttle Control Room

"You did pretty good for a first time flyer."

"Thanks." Paige got up from the chair and she walked with Devon back to the main deck.

"Once we transfer to the other ship there's something else I have to show you."

"Ok."

"And if you wanted to, we could continue your flying lessons." Devon looked toward the ground, unsure if he wanted to see the look on her face.

"Yeah, I'd like that." Paige fought very hard to keep herself from smiling to much.

"Great. Well, I, uh, better get back to work. We'll be transferring soon."

"Ok. I'll see you later I guess."

"Yeah. See you later."

Woohoo, done with the chapter finally. Next one will be up sometime in the future. Not making any promises as to when. Although I already made you wait long enough for this one so I'll try extra hard to put up the next one sooner. Ooooo, is there something going on between two certain somebodys? Wink, wink. Well, hope you're liking the story so far, but I won't know unless you tell me and tell your friends about it.
