In this chapter, Devon, has a nice chat with the three beings of Andromeda.

Devon stood on the observation deck looking at her sun and that's where Trance found her. "You're scared," Trance pointed out to her. "But it's going to be okay."

"I have got to make my sun flare," Devon whispered, as she turned to face her with fear in her eyes. "I don't even know how to do that."

"I'll help you." Trance grabbed onto her arm and they began to glow. "I will always be there for you."

"I know," Devon's face lit up as they grew brighter and brighter. "So here we go?"

On the command deck, the crew watched as Trance and Devon started to glow as they became more of their true selves. "I never thought I would ever see that in my life time," Harper said, as he watched them. "That's an awesome sight."

"Yes, Harper it is," Dylan said, as they watched as the sun started to flare. "It is a wonderful sight to see."

Just as predicted, the flares took out the Magog attack ships. "Yes!" Beka said, causing them to looked over at her. "What? It worked didn't it?"

"Yes, it did," Rhade said, as they watched as Trance and Devon turned back to their normal selves. "And they're back." Beka and Harper took off to check on them. "They did good."

"Did we do it?" Devon asked Trance, as she sat down on the floor. "Did we get them?"

"Yeah, you did," Harper said, as he and Beka came into the room. "You got them good."

"I don't want to do that again any time soon." Devon then rested her head on her knees. "That's hard work."

"But you did good," Beka said to her. "You got them. So we're safe."

"That's good to know."

"And we got you back to your sun," Harper pointed out, causing her to look up at her sun again. "Just like we said that we would."

"Thank you," she said, as she went over to the window and placed her hand on it. "I'm not so sure anymore if I want to stay here or return to my sun."

"You don't want to stay with us?" Harper asked, causing her to turn to face him. "I thought that you had decided before that you were going to stay with us for a while."

"Harper, we need to give her some time to think," Trance said to him, as she came up to his side. "She's just a little bit more confused than she was before."

"She's faced a lot of things in the short time that she's been aboard the Andromeda," Beka said. "She's going to need a lot of time to get used to it. I'm still not all that used to it and we've been here for awhile."

"Can I just have some time to myself to think?" Devon asked them, causing them to look over at her. "I promise that I'll stay here. I just need to think about some things."

"Okay," Trance said, as she ushered Beka and Harper out of the room. "We'll give you as much time as you need."

"Thank you." Devon turned to face her sun with tears in her eyes.

The moment the door shut behind them, Harper turned to face Trance. "What happened out there?" he asked her in a hushed tone. "She was so happy about staying and now she's not that convinced about it."

"I think something happened," Trance replied. "She may have been too young to do what we asked her to do. I think it might have forced her to grow up faster than we wanted to."

"Oh, great."

Devon turned away from the window and looked around the observation deck. "Andromeda," she called out. "Can I speak with you?"

"Yes," hologram Andromeda said, as she came on. "What do you need?"

"Is it okay that I stay?"

"Yes, Dylan has all ready given you permission. Why would you need to ask me?"

"Because I wanted to know if you wanted me here or not."

"I don't understand really what you are asking me." Just then the door opened and Rommie came in. "Do you understand what she's asking?"

"Yes, I do," Rommie answered her. "She wants to know if you think if she's a valuable member of the crew."

"Oh, then why didn't she ask that?"

"She did," the screen Andromeda said. "You just mistook it."

"So, am I allowed to stay or not."

"Yes," all three replied.

"Devon, we are grateful at what you did to save us from the Magog," Rommie said. "It took someone with a lot of courage to do what you did for us."

"I know, but I'm not sure that what I did was the right thing."

"You saved the crew. You did the right thing."

"Okay, then I'll stay."
