A/N: Thank you for the review! I hope I do Dr. Soong extremely well. Well, maybe, not like that but I hope I do a good job. Um, as for that guy, his/her name was "HELP" if your review was suppose to make me stop doing this story. You are so wrong. As for all of you who like this story... ENJOY THIS CHAPTER!

Malcolm watches as Amanda runs into the turbo lift then he gets off his chair walking over to the inter con and pushes the button, he says quietly"Lt. Reed to Commander Tucker..." "Commander Tucker, here" replied Trip quietly knowing something is going on. Malcolm contacted Trip because he knew about them being best friends.

"Ensign Archer just left the bridge in tears..." Malcolm said sighing then Trip asked very concerned "What happened?"

"I don't know. When we were being attacked The Captain came on the bridge with Ensign Archer and we stopped being attacked by the same Bird-Of-Prey which destroyed her shuttle" said Malcolm sighing again.

Trip was afraid to ask but asked anyway"Who was the person on that Bird-Of-Prey" "Dr. Soong. He said, he needed Ensign Archer's knowledge of Engineering and expert tees" Malcolm replied.

"I thought he was in jail" asked Trip not being very calm about the whole thing, Malcolm said looking down, "I don't know how he escaped but right now, I really think she needs you right now..."

"Alright, thanks Malcolm. Commander Tucker, out" replied Trip as Malcolm let go of the button walking back over to his council.

Inside The Captain's Ready Room, "Okay, Captain Archer, we are sending a ship over their ASAP." Admiral Scott replied over the computer, Captain Archer said sighing, "Thank you, Admiral"

Admiral Johnson Scott said with a smile, "No problem, Archer. Oh yeah and, Jon" "Hmm," said The Captain looking at him as he put his hand on his neck.

"Be nice to your little sister. She told me she was so excited to come go see you and she told that her favorite role model in the world is, you..." he said then the screen went blank.

Captain Archer looked surprised because she told him that her favorite role model was their father Henry Archer who died 3 years ago then he just sat there thinking about Amanda and how he yelled at her, making her cry and so very deeply upset. "What have I done?" he asked himself as he started to feel guilty for making her cry, making her so very deeply upset and yelling at her but even though he did that on purpose to keep her from getting too attached to him, he thinks it might be to late for that because he might just have pushed his sister too far and completely away from him.

Inside The Turbo Lift, Amanda was crying her heart out and just wanted to be kidnapped by Dr. Soong already, she didn't care if she ever saw her brother Captain Jonathan Archer again; she just wanted to be away from him and everyone else. She sighed standing up straight and wiped her tears away thinking, 'I can take care of myself, I don't need him anymore...' she pushed the button causing it to move again then the doors opened as she walked out down the halls.

In The Halls, Amanda continued on walking to engineering then all of a sudden, she bumped right into Trip. He looks at her saying, "Amanda, we need to talk." "Fine" she said still a little grouchy and he sighed as he thought 'The Captain must have said somethin' that made her mad and angry,' he and Amanda went to his Quarter's which wasn't far from Engineering.

Inside Commander Tucker's Quarter's, Amanda and Trip went into his quarters then she sat down on his bed as he sat next to her. "Okay, Amanda. Tell me what happened on the bridge" Trip said holding her hand.

She silently gasped from his touch and then asked looking at him "How did you know that something happened on the bridge"

He looked at her as he sighed, "Lt. Reed. He contacted me after he saw you leave the bridge in tears" he said putting his arm around her shoulders pulling her close to him.

Amanda laid her head on his shoulder then she sighed saying, "My brother is having a ship come over here to pick me up taking me back to earth to protect me from Dr. Soong" "It sounds okay, so far" Trip said looking at her then he thought, 'I hate Dr. Soong! If he hurts her or anyone else on this ship, I'm going to go after him!'.

"I yelled at him telling him I wanted to spend time with him" she sighed then continued, "He yelled at me telling me no and ordered me to go to his Quarter's." she started to cry again on his shoulder.

Trip sighed moving his hand up her neck to her cheek rubbing it with his thumb as he said sympathetically, "It's okay, It's alright..." "I don't need him anymore" she said still crying then pulled away from his embrace, he looked at her seeing The Hurt, The Anger and The Sadness in her eyes.

"The Captain hurt you pretty badly, didn't he" Trip asked as she stands up with her back turned to him then she said ,"Yes, He did, but I don't need him anymore..."

He eyes her then he stood up as he said, "You don't mean that. You're just upset" "I do mean it, Trip" she yelled looking right at him in the eyes, He sees and feels her pain then he walked over to her. He knew she was hurt, angry and sad then he just pulled her into his embrace hugging her as she tried to get away by struggling but he didn't let her go.

"Let me go! PLEASE, LET ME GO!" she yelled as she continued to cry and struggle to get away from him then he said"Amanda! Calm down" She started to settle down in his arms and she cried on his shoulder.

"Look at me..." he ordered then she looked right into his eyes as he said, "Listen. I know you feel pain but it's okay, I am sure, he didn't mean to yell at you. He's just trying to protect you like your Father"

Amanda's eyes widen as she remembered the exact same thing that her Father did and she nodded,"You're right, Trip."

"I know. Now, would you please just listen to what he said" he asked looking into her eyes, she smiled saying, "Yeah. Thanks Trip" "No problem just looking out for ya," he said with a smile. She realized that Jonathan was just trying to protect her from getting to close to him and now, that she knew it she was happy but wasn't looking forward to leaving The Enterprise, Jonathan, and... Trip.

She stared into his eyes as he stared right back into hers then they slowly began to lean into one another and they unexpectedly kissed each other.
