Notes: Hey everybody! Just so you know, it may take longer to post now. I've run out of what I
had in my notebook, so please be patient. ^_^ Thanks for all the reviews! ^_^ I liked some of
the ideas you guys gave me, and if I use them, I'll give you credit, okay? ^_^
Tears streamed down her face as the woman explained what had happened to Noel. 'This can't be
happening.' she thought. 'They're wrong. They're just trying to get me to sleep longer so they
can exist longer. Yeah. That's it. Everything is going to be fine. I'll wake up, and
everything will be back to normal. Maybe I didn't even try to kill myself. Maybe that incident
didn't happen either. Maybe those were part of the dream too. I hope so. This dream seems
interesting though. I think I'll try it, see if I like it. If I sleep to late, mom will wake me
up.' she stopped crying.
"We're just wondering how you got to that planet in the first place... with 21st century pain
killers too." Kathryn said.
"I forgot. But that doesn't really matter now, does it?"
"Well, we'd like to get you home, and, if at all possible, find a way home ourselves."
"Don't you live on this ship?"
"Yes, but we'd like to visit our families on Earth. You see, we're in the Delta Quadrant."
"The Delta whatchit?
The captain looked puzzled. "The Delta Quadrant. We got stranded here four years ago and we're
trying to get back to the Alpha Quadrant."
'Wow, this is a very interesting dream. I'd like to see what happens next!'
"Oh! Quadrant! I thought you said something else. Sorry."
"That's quite alright."
"Captain, I hate to break up this conversation, but I must examine Noel and then she needs to
rest." the doctor said.
"Alright. I'll come see you later, okay Noel?"
Noel's face paled.
"What's wrong?" The Doctor asked.
Noel seemed nervous. "C-can I get a different doctor? It's nothing against you, it's just, I'm
not very comfortable with male doctors."
"I'm sorry, but there is no other doctor on the ship. I'm afraid you're stuck with me."
A tear ran down face. 'It'll be fine. It's only a dream.' she told herself.
"Don't worry, Noel. The Doctor is a great doctor. You'll be fine." The captain told her.
Noel nodded and stood up, her face still very pale. 'I can do this.' she thought. 'It's only a
dream. This isn't real.'
"I should go now. I'll see you later, Noel." Janeway said and left, leaving The Doctor, Tom and
Noel in Sickbay.
"Mr. Paris, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. I can handle this by myself." the doctor told
Tom.
"Alright. I'll be in my quarters if you need me." Tom said, and left.
The whole time Tom was there, he was folding the girls clothes. Once they stabilized Noel, they
put one of the blue gowns on her. He took her clothes with him.
"Now, Miss..." he began, trying to remember if she told them her last name.
"Manning." she said. "My last name is Manning."
"Ah. Miss Manning. If you'll lay here, I can proceed with the examination." he said, pointing
to the biobed.
Cautiously, she climbed onto the biobed and lay down. Even though she kept telling herself that
this was a dream, she was still nervous. She closed her eyes, not wanting to see what he was
going to do.
"Don't worry. This wont hurt at all." he said.
Memories flooded her mind. She saw someone jogging in the woods through her minds eye. It was
dark, it must have been late at night. The person was a woman who was wearing black leggings, a
white long-sleeved t-shirt, with a red hoodie over it. She had dirty blond, curly hair, that was
put up in a pony tail. She had headphones over her ears and a walkman hooked to the waist band
on her pants.
Everything appeared normal, until someone ran up to the girl. It was a man, and it looked like
he was another jogger, jogging next to her. He started to talk to her, but she ignored it. She
looked nervous, like maybe she didn't know him. Suddenly, she stopped, turned the other way, and
sprinted off. The man also turned, and chased after her. He was too fast, and he soon caught up
to her and grabbed her arm. She screamed, but no one could hear her. They both stopped running
and he was pulling her off the trail and into the woods. She just kept screaming for help, but
no one came. She was trying to kick the guy, so he slapped her face. When she didn't stop, he
punched her in the stomach.
"NO!!!" Noel screamed, sitting up on the biobed.
"What's wrong?" the doctor asked.
Noel looked around, gasping for breath. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw the doctor waving
something around her body and looking at some rectangular thing in his hand.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
'I'm still dreaming. That was part of the dream. I'm still not awake. Thank God!' she thought.
"I'm fine." she told him, and lay her body back down so he could finish.
"Are you sure? Your blood pressure is extremely high and you're panting. Are you sure you're
alright?"
"Yes! I'm fine! Now finish up!" she yelled.
"I'm done." he said
"Fine then. I'm tired. I'm going to go to sleep." she said as she rolled onto her side and
closed her eyes. She didn't plan to go to sleep though. She was afraid she'd have that double
dream again.
The Doctor put away his tricorter and went into his office.
As soon as she heard him sit down in his office, she let the tears that were struggling to come
out, flow like a river. She didn't make a sound though, just let the tears come out.
