A/N: THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE REVIEWS! Um, Sorry about the dog's name. I swear I heard my Father say "Corthos" but now, he tells me its "Porthos". Thanks, you guys for telling me about that. I saw Star Trek last week! BOY! It's getting interesting, it always is anyway. The dog is so cute! Anyway, ON WITH THE STORY! ENJOY! And, for all the people who were right the way Archer's first name is spelled. Sorry... it's spelled "Jonathan" not "Johnathan". Plus, I think I made slightly longer. I know T'Pol doesn't show emotion but, I made her show a little of emotion, but, it doesn't last that long.
"I'm sorry for scaring you like that," Trip said as Amanda and him go on their way to Engineering. "Bah, It's okay, you didn't know" she replied as they continue on walking and then they turn the right corner, which they both bump into The Captain and T'Pol. "Amanda. Trip. I thought you two were in Engineering?" asked The Captain suspiciously, Amanda and Trip started to stammer as they both say at the same time, "Well, We, uh, were and uh." "Well?" asked Captain Archer looking at his sister specially as Trip poked her lightly with his elbow without having The Captain noticing that.
She looked at The Captain and started to explain, "We were until I just started-" "Actually, Cap'n. I knew someone was secretly followin' me and, I turned walking into The Cargo Bay then I turned the lights off. Amanda walks into the cargo bay and I didn't know that at the time then I well, grabbed her from behind as the doors closed with my hand over her mouth which I scared her and, well. Then I turned her around realizing it was her. Sorry, sir" apologized Trip as The Captain looked at Amanda who was looking at him and he realized that she was going to lie to him about what happened.
All of a sudden the ship rocked causing Trip to fall on his back with Amanda on top of him as T'Pol fell into The Captain's arms, "Captain Archer to the bridge!" said Malcolm as Archer has her stand to her feet and he sees his sister on top of his Chief of Engineering, "T'Pol! Get to the bridge!" he ordered and for some unknown reason T'Pol was showing a hint of emotion...anger and jealousy. But, she did as she was ordered leaving the Captain with Trip and Amanda.
Amanda was looking into Trip's eyes and he was looking back in hers like there wasn't anything happening around them, "The ship is being attacked!" yelled Captain Archer who took his sister off of Trip and ordered, "Commander Tucker go to Engineering!"
"Aye, sir" replied Trip who got up still staring in her eyes as she kept on staring in his, "Go to Engineering!" she yelled at Trip who snapped out of it and ran to Engineering.
"Okay, for now on I give the orders!" yelled the Captain, "Yes, Cap'n" replied Amanda sounding just like Trip as they ran to The Bridge. The Captain looked at her seeing her slightly blushing and he was confused as he thought 'Are Trip and Amanda dating? Or, are they about to?'.
On The Bridge, They arrived on the bridge but earlier Captain Archer told Amanda to just stand back and don't touch anything, only the rail for support when they are being attacked. She held onto the rail as she watched her brother do a lot of yelling and ordering.
"Captain! This is the same Bird-Of-Prey that destroyed Ensign Archer's shuttle!" yelled Ensign Sato and The Captain yelled, "Hail them!" "They're not responding!" she yelled and all of sudden the ship stopped being attacked. "They're hailing us," she said quietly looking at the Captain who orders, "On Screen..."
The person who appeared on the screen was a person they thought; they never ever see again...Dr. Soong. "Hello, Captain Archer..." said Dr. Soong with a wicked smile. 'I always hated that smile' he thought.
"Why are you here?" asked Captain Archer very annoyed, He wickedly smiles saying, "I want her," he pointed behind Archer directly at Amanda who was shaking with fear, "Why?" asked Captain Archer sounding a little worried, wait, not a little try ALOT.
"Humph. I need someone like her with her type of knowledge of Engineering and expert tees..." answered Dr. Soong and well, Amanda stands in front of her brother letting her anger get the best of her, "I'LL NEVER EVER! WORK FOR YOU!" Amanda yelled at him but The Captain looked at her as she continued, "I'll never! WORK FOR A MAN LIKE YOU! YOU EVIL SCUM OF A MAN!" "Well, seems like she has your attitude Archer. After all, she is your sister..." replied Dr. Soong.
Captain Archer had his sister Amanda stand behind him as he asked, "How did you know that?"
"Well, I would love to stay and chat but I have work to do. I'll see you in another few hours, Captain Archer." he said evilly grinning and The Screen went blank.
He turned around looking at his sister as she fell onto his chair, "Amanda, we need to talk. Privately." replied The Captain as she saw a hint of fear and worry in his eyes for her. They went into his ready room.
Inside The Captain's Ready Room, "Amanda. What have you been studying at the Academy?" asked The Captain, Amanda looked up at him and replied, "Engineering stuff..."
"How do you suppose he knew you were my sister?" He asked seriously avoiding eye contact as he walked back and forth.
"Because, I told him," she replied and his eyes widen as he said, "How did that came to be?" he asked trying to keep calm about the whole situation.
She looked down again and replied, "I went to see him one day because I always bring him his food, we became friends then he betrayed me..."
"How?" asked Archer again, she sighs saying, "I told him about me and a relationship with a friend. He kept it a secret but then I was allowed to let him stroll around the Academy with me to accompany him... then he knocked me unconscious and ran into a shuttle leaving me there. I felt like I was played like a puppet and, this here, now, is all my fault..."
"How did he became in position with a Bird-Of-Prey?" asked Captain Archer avoiding her tears, he was giving her the silent treatment.
"Starfleet tracked the warp trail to the Klingon's Home planet. And, that Starfleet ship was almost destroyed when they reached Klingon, but, some how they made it through and they were hailed by Dr. Soong who told them to tell me, he said and I quote 'Thank Amanda for helping me escape away from Starfleet' end quote..." she replied.
Captain Archer sits down on his chair at his computer and said, "I'm going to have Admiral Johnson Scott bring a ship over here to pick you up until we can capture Dr. Soong..."
"No! I wanted to spend time with you!" she yelled standing up looking at her brother, He stands up yelling back, "I don't care! I want you to go home and that's final! NOW! GO TO MY QUARTER'S! THATS AN ORDER!" she ran out of his Ready Room onto the bridge into a turbo lift crying.
"I want Trip..." she whispered to herself with tears falling down her face, she was a strong girl at time but when it came to her brother she was weak. 'I just came and wanted to spend time with Trip and especially with my brother, Jonathan,' she thought as tears went down her face then she pushed a button on the turbo lift pad causing it to stop.
TO BE CONTINUED!
Hahahaha! Cliffhanger! I bet you are wondering what she is going to do next, huh? Well, you are going to have to wait my readers and reviewers!
Oh yeah and, I know he was in jail but hey I took him out! Ha! I just love Brent Spiner!
Data - "There was a little lady from Venus whose body was shaped like a-" that's when Captain Picard cute him off. That line is from "The Naked Now" in the first season of Star Trek: The Next Generation.
I'm only 13 yrs old I wasn't alive during that time though. My dad has the DVD of the first season! Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this 3rd chapter! I know I made Archer a little cruel but hey they are brother and sister. Plus, he's trying to protect her from himself and Dr. Soong. That's why he acted that way. I'm not going to spoil anything, see these lips right here? They are sealed! She zipped her lips shut
