A/N: Thanks for the review, JacobedRose! -Smiles- Anyway, I hope you like this chapter! Lets continue on! And, I saw Star Wars Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith this last Monday! And, it was good! And, surprisingly, disappointing. Anyway, on with the story! I think you are going to enjoy this one, VERY MUCH!
On Enterprise, In The Halls, Amanda/Hikari is walking with Trip to Engineering because he knows how much Amanda really loved Engineering and wanted to learn more about it.
"Well, We're almost there, Amanda," Trip said smiling as he rubbed and put his hands together.
Amanda/Hikari was a little pissed, "I don't know why you keep calling me that REDICULIOUS NAME! Because, It has no meaning for me," She said with a scoff. (A/N: Sound familiar? I'll give you a hit. He's a big TOP villain from a famous movie)
Trip looked at her, "I highly doubt that, Amanda..." he replied and before he knew it, she pushed him to the wall with her hand to his throat, choking him, abit.
She growled, "Don't you ever! Call me, 'Amanda' again! It sickens me!" she said and let him go.
He coughed, holding his throat but notice something about her, in her eyes; she was upset with herself for doing what she did. "Upset with yourself, aren't you? Amanda?" he asked as she raised her arm and was about to hit him in the face with her elbow but put her arm down.
She sighed, "You are a waste of my time," She answered as she turned away from him, knowing it's more than that... she was upset, mad and sad that she did that to Trip but had no idea why. Then Trip touched her shoulder but for a minute, she didn't move and she let Trip's hand rub her shoulder then as soon as she realized what was happening she pulled away. "Don't you ever touch me, you pathetic human!" she yelled at him with so much confusion, hurt, anger, and sadness.
Trip backed off, abit and knew she was hurting as she came around back to him, "Do you want to talk? In my quarter's, Amanda?" he asked as he extended his hand to her.
Amanda/Hikari was so confused at that moment and something was telling her to take Trip's hand and to go with him to his Quarter's and also, some how... she knew, he was telling the truth and so was, Captain Archer. She nodded lightly, "Y-Yes," Her voice sounded a little shaken up and she took his hand.
Trip felt her confusion and so, he took her slowly by the hand to his Quarter's with his arm around her shoulder's and surprisingly enough, she leaned into him for comfort as they walk to his Quarter's instead of Engineering, like they were going to go.
On Enterprise, Inside Commander Tucker's Quarter's, Trip led Amanda/Hikari into his room in the same way he was with her in the halls, He slowly leads her over to the bed and sits her down, nice, slowly, and gently.
Trip sat next to her with his arm around her shoulder's having her lean on him, "Hikari, I know this is hard for you but please, trust Me." he said and looked at her.
She nodded, "Okay and please... call me, 'Amanda'," she replied, softly.
Trip smiled abit knowing she's coming back, "Okay... I know you feel so confused and think that me, Captain Archer and the crew hurt you but the truth is... we didn't. Dr. Soong lied to you," he explained as she felt he was telling the truth and tried to ignore it but couldn't.
"Wait... Wait..." she said softly and low as she stood up and backed away. She turned away as tears fell down her face then wiped them, she turned to look at him and saw him waiting patiently for her to say something. She let out a big sigh and asked, "Tell me something that happened between you and me... to see if I can remember, okay?"
He nodded and lightly smiled knowing Amanda is coming back to him, "Do you remember that time we explored the moon when you were eleven years old and you damaged your oxygen tank?" he asked as he still sat there.
She looked down for a moment then continued, "Yes. And, I made you promise not to tell Jonathan and... AH!" She yelled, holding her head tightly as she began remembering everything about her brother, Jonathan and her crush/love, Trip. She fell on her back still in pain.
Trip rushed to her side, "Amanda! Amanda! Look at me!" he yelled, concerned about her.
Amanda/Hikari looked at Trip as yelled painfully, "Tell Jonathan... That-That...-! UH!" she held her head.
He picked her up in his arms, running out of his Quarter's to Sickbay, "I'm not going to lose you Amanda... not again.. I love you too damn much!" he said with all his love for her and she heard him, as she smiled and still yelled in pain as they got into the turbo lift to go to Sickbay.
On Bird-Of-Prey, Inside Dr. Soong's Little Lab, Dr. Soong is making a potion to give to Amanda/Hikari when she comes aboard. He's decided to give her memories back and doesn't care about the consequences. Daughter or not, he realized he cares about her like a daughter and wants her to be happy.
"Persis, this is for you..." he said to himself, In fact the reason why he did this is because he wanted his daughter back but Amanda/Hikari is not his daughter, Persis was. He misses her so much, that this is why he did this. After a few more minutes, his potion was done.
He sighed lightly, "I'll miss you... Amanda." he smiled lightly as he said that and in his heart, he knew he was doing the right thing.
Inside The Transporter Room, Dr. Soong had a better idea and set the time and place on the transporter pad. He puts the potion on the pad and it transports right to Sickbay on Enterprise. "Good-Bye and Farewell, Old Friend," he smiled as he nodded his head leaving the transporter room then he contacts the bridge. "First Officer, Set a course for the, Omicron Theta star system to Class M, Maximum Warp!" he ordered and the First Officer on the bridge knew about the tone in Dr. Soong's voice not to question him about Ensign Amanda Archer.
"Yes, sir," he replied and the next thing Dr. Soong knew they went to warp.
"Time to do a project that'll do something good for everyone," he said and went to his Quarter's.
On Enterprise, On The Bridge, Captain Archer just sat there feeling helpless about his sister but knew he would soon, get her back.
"Captain! Look!" Ensign Mayweather pointed out at the Bird-Of-Prey leaving.
"Is Ensign Amanda Archer on there?" he demanded to know as he stood
Ensign Mayweather scanned, "No, sir. She's in sickbay," he replied.
'I somehow knew that Dr. Soong had a good heart,' he smiled slightly as he thought that.
"Captain, someone wants to see you in Sickbay," Dr. Phlox said over the inter-con.
"On My Way!" he said and went into the turbo lift but before the doors closed, Hoshi stood up, "Captain, May I come with you?" she asked.
He nodded and said, "T'Pol, you have the bridge," she nodded as Hoshi and Archer went to Sickbay.
TO BE CONTINUED!
