Disclaimer: I don't own Star Trek: The Next Generation, I asked for the rights to it for Christmas but no one would give it to me.
Six months later…
"This place really has come a long way." I smiled at Altsoba.
"It has." She was beaming.
Since Moroll had been defeated six months ago, Altsoba had been made leader of Roso. She was doing an excellent job of rebuilding the planet. All of the cities were blossoming and it looked like there had never been a war. Many of the people said that she was the best ruler they had ever known.
I'd decided to stay on the planet to help with the reconstruction. The Enterprise was due back any day; they were going to evaluate the planet for possible membership in the Federation. When they leave, I'm going with them. I didn't know what I was going to do after I got back to Earth, but I knew I had to go back.
"I'm really going to miss you Egypt."
"I'm going to miss you too Altsoba. But don't worry, I'll come and visit."
"You better, or I'll send Rashid after you."
We both laughed. The old soldier had a kind heart deep down, but the exterior was as tough as a klingon. Since I'd been here, I'd gotten to know him better. He was a widower after twelve years of marriage, with no children. According to Altsoba, he had found her when she was a child and raised her. They were like father and daughter.
Amadeus and I had also gotten closer. Altsoba was telling me that she thought we'd fallen in love and I believe that she's right. Most of the time I couldn't get my mind off of him. The only thing that worried me would be how Dad would react. I'd never had someone I cared about like this before and he'd probably flip.
"Altsoba!" Rashid's voice broke the calm of the garden.
"Excuse me." She sighed before going over to see him.
I smiled and made my way over to a bench near the edge of the path. It was cold, but I didn't mind, the scenery was too beautiful.
"It is beautiful, isn't it?" The voice made me jump, even though I knew it well.
"What are you doing here Q?" I didn't look at him; instead my eyes were glued to the many flowers.
"I thought it was polite for humans to say goodbye."
"Well then, goodbye."
"If I may, I'd like to say that you are a very intelligent young woman."
"Why thank you." I looked up, a bit startled.
"You're very welcome." He smirked. "And I must warn you, Jean-Luc probably won't like your new boyfriend."
With that, he snapped his fingers and disappeared. I couldn't help but smile. Looking up at the sky, I saw a shape approaching the planet.
It must be the Enterprise. I can't believe it's been over six years since I've been on a starship. I hope I don't get sick. She sighed. Well, this is the end I guess. It's been a great ride but finally, I'm going home.
A/N: The end of Chapter 7 just didn't seem like a good ending. I hope everyone likes!
