I'm trying to do a chapter where Devon spends some time with a different character. In this chapter, Devon points out that she's scared of not knowing what's going to happen.


They all watched as the sun began to flare, and it was only then that Devon went down taking Harper with her. Trance went to help Devon while Rhade quickly pulled Harper to his feet. "Devon," Trance called out to her, as she helped her to her feet. "It's going to be okay."

"No, it's not," Devon said, with extreme fear in her voice. "I want to go back."

"You can't." Devon then began to shake in fear as she began to play with her tail. "It's going to be all right. You'll see."

"Yeah, just like Trance said," Harper said to Devon, as he came over to her side. "I'm sure everything is going to be okay."

"You're sure?" Devon asked them, looking at the sun as it flared again. "It doesn't look good."

"But it'll be over in a few minutes," Trance said to her as she slipped an arm around Devon's shoulders. "Trust me. I've all ready gone through this."

"I'm scared." That got everyone to look over at her. "I don't know what's going to happen next."

"It's going to be okay." Trance then turned her away from the sun. "Why don't you and I finish our tour of the ship?"

"That sounds great." They then left the command deck.

"She's terrified," Rommie pointed out, as the others looked at each other. "Why is she terrified? She's an Avatar of a sun, that sun."

"Rommie, you also have to remember that she's young according to Trance," Beka said, as the sun flared again. "She's new at life. She doesn't quite understand how the whole thing works out."

"Beka, I want you to take the Maru and do some scans on the sun," Dylan said to her, as he looked up. "See exactly what we are dealing with."

"Okay," Beka said, as she started to head for the Maru. "But I'm taking Rommie and Trance with me. You get to baby sit."

"Fine," Dylan said, as he looked around at Harper and Rhade to realize that they both were gone. "Ah, great. Guess I'll go find the girl."

Devon had taken it upon herself to explore the Andromeda when Trance left to go with Beka and Rommie to survey the sun. She soon found herself lost and she began to panic. Turning a corner, she ran into Rhade, falling back on the floor in a heap. "You all right?" he asked her, as he offered his hand to her, which she slowly took and allowed him to help her up to her feet. "I didn't see you there."

"I believe I'll be fine," she said, as she swished her tail as if to make her point. "Trance went off with Beka and Rommie to check out the sun. So I was checking out the ship by myself, but I seem to have gotten lost." Rhade looked down at the young girl in front of him, and smiled to himself. She reminded him of Trance and someone new. "Where were you going?"

"I was headed to the command deck," Rhade answered, as she began to prance around him. "Why aren't you with Harper or Dylan?"

"Harper's in his engineering place where I don't know is at and I have no idea where Dylan is."

"So what are your plans then?"

"I'm going to hang out with you for a while." She shot him a smile, as she followed him as he headed for the command deck. "It'll be fun."

"I'm sure that it will be."
