A/N Andromeda does not belong to me….but Pearlana does.

Thank you all for reviewing!

Title: My one and Only Pearl

Author: Fox of the Nova

Chapter 6:

Surprise, Surprise

Hanger 4:

"Whoever these people were, they had amazing stuff!" Harper stated as he rummaged through piles of gadgets and gismos that littered all of Hanger 4.

The Andromeda had picked up a mountain of items from the debris that was floating around in space. Now Hanger 4 was completely full with pieces of the once star ship as well as luggage's with a type of lock that nobody seemed to know how to open.

Rev entered the room and walked towards Beka who was pushing away a small crate.

"May I be of some assistance?" Rev asked.

"Sure Rev, if you could just help me push this away I might be able to see what's under it." Beka said through gritted teeth as she tried to push the crate.

Rev nodded his head and started to push away the crate with Beka by his side. A loud scraping sound was heard as the crate slowly was pushed away.

When they had pushed it as far back as they could, they discovered a large golden suitcase peaking out of the rubble.

Beka and Rev pushed away the rubble and pulled up the suitcase.

When they looked closer they saw the words "Pearlana Orianna Harper" edged in silver across the top of the suitcase.

"I guess we found our guests suitcase." Rev stated as he too looked down at the name.

Rommie, Dylan, Tyr and Harper all walked towards them to see what they had found.

Harper peered closer and his mouth dropped at seeing the name. "Orianna! But…that isn't possible! She's dead." Harper stated in a whisper.

Beka turned towards Harper. "Who's dead?"

Now everybody was looking at Harper, unknowing that two people were watching from the doorway.

"I don't want to talk about it." Harper said as the subject seemed to upset him.

"Ok, let's just see if we can open this suitcase. Maybe we can find some things about Miss-Golden-Eyes." Beka said.

She then kneeled down, as well as Harper, and peered around the suitcase; looking for a latch or something like that for opening it..

"How the hell do you open this!" Beka screeched out. It was clear that she was frustrated in not finding a latch.

Tyr pulled out his forcelance. Harper peered closer and noticed were a latch should have been there was two silver pads. They were no bigger then his thumb.

"Thumbs? That's it! The latch is a thumb print!" Harper now understood, but he was too late to tell anybody.

Tyr aimed his forcelance down on the suitcase and fired. The suitcase appeared to be guarded by a very strong forcefield that repelled Tyr's shots like they were spit balls.

The shot bounced back towards Tyr who dived to the floor as the shot passed his ear to collide within the wall.

The silent shock from everybody was interrupted by a loud, yet sounding like soft bells, laugh that came from the door.

(Pearls POV :)

"How do they know which to go? This place is a maze!" Pearl stated to herself in frustration as she walked down a ramp.

It felt like she was going around in circles. Every turn looking exactly like the last, she even tried climbing down the ladders, but that only made her even more confused.

"I have to get to hanger 4. I need to see if my luggage is there." Pearl stated as she walked down a corridor.

Sometimes she would pass by a screen, but she could only see static. "I wonder if it's me."

But Pearlana shook that thought away and continued down the path, hoping that she would soon reach her goal.

As she walked, Pearlana tried to figure out what was going on. She remembered, back at the Orion, the explosion at the main tank. After that everything started to get really crazy around the ship.

She was sleeping at the time, but when the explosion occurred she was thrown out of bed and onto the floor.

She remembered the screaming as she quickly got up and raced for the door. The sliding doors wouldn't budge, and that had scared her. Nothing could destroy their main power…unless it was the creature.

She remembered that she had blasted the doors open a little with her force lance, a weapon that was given to her from Sheesha. She had said it had once belonged to my father.

After shooting on the doors, a hole was formed but just enough for her to squeeze through.

But when she was in the hall way, it was then that she wished she hadn't opened the doors. She was right; the creature had destroyed their engines and it was right now in front of her.

Pearl was jolted away from her memories by someone placing a hand over her shoulder.

"I knew I'll find you here. Don't worry; I use to get lost all the time. It just takes some getting use to. Soon you will be walking around this place like a pro." Trance stated with a warm smile as she looked at Pearl.

Of course Pearl, once again, could not understand what Trance had just said. But she knew that she was being kind, probably about getting lost here.

It was then that she noticed that Trance had a purple tail! She raised her eye brows in question as she watched the very tip of the arrow like tail swish from side to side.

"I take it you never met anyone with a tail?" Trance asked since she noticed Pearl watching it.

"Well I never met a human with golden eyes." Trance stated.

How Pearl wished she could understand her, but she gave a small smile and turned to face her. She then tried to explain to Trance what she was doing and were she was trying to go.

Trance really didn't understand, but she already knew where she was headed.

"Follow me; I'll take you to Hanger 4." Trance stated. She then raised her hand up for Pearl to take.

Pearl hesitantly looked down at the purple hand and back up at Trance's face.

She cocked her head to the side. "Don't worry, you can trust me." Trance reassured her.

Pearl took a deep breath and placed her hand into Trances. Trances folded her hand and with a huge warm smile lead Pearl down the ramp and towards Hanger 4.

"By the way, I think you look very cute with that combination. If you like I can get some of my old clothes from the Maru for you to try on. If they fit you can have them." Trance said as they walked.

Pear understood the word clothes and hoped that she had meant on getting some for her to wear.

When they reached there, Trance gave the motion for her to be quiet. They slowly peered around the corner and saw Rev enter the Hanger.

Pearl shrank back into the shadows in fear at seeing Rev, and Trance noticed.

"Don't worry, Rev is ok. Even though he may look scary, he is really neat to get to know." Trance said, completely forgetting that Pearl didn't understand her.

But even if Pearl did understand, she still wouldn't believe her. Nothing with a face like that could be trust worthy. And nothing was going to change that.

When Rev disappeared within the Hanger, Trance beckoned for Pearl to follow her.

The slowly made their way towards the doors, Trance acting a little excited. She loved playing games, and her favorite was being sneaky.

The doors slowly opened, but without making a sound. Trance entered, followed by Pearl.

They just stood there, the others not noticing that they were even in the room.

Pearl turned her head towards the creature, which Trance said his name was Rev, talking to the woman who was in medical.

Pearl knew that she looked a lot like Mala-Propina, minus the fact that she didn't have golden eyes.

At first she thought it was her, but when Pearl had said Humana towards her, (which in a way means best friends) she was sadden that she didn't understand her.

This told Pearl that this woman was not Mala-Propina, but then again, maybe she was, just not the Mala that Pearl knew.

Peal watched as the woman pushed away, with Revs help, a crate. She almost jumped for joy when she saw her luggage underneath the rubble. It looked perfectly intact, and that only made her grin like mad.

The purple girl, Trance, looked towards me. I guess she knew that I was happy about the suitcase.

I watched with amusement at watching the woman and the creature, Rev, try to open my suitcase.

"Even if they do find the pads, they still won't be able to open it. Probably my dimensional brother could, but not the rest." Pearl thought to herself as she watched the giant with the weird blades in his arms walk towards them.

She watched her dimensional brother kneel down and had to smile when he found the pads. But with wonder, Pearl noticed the man with the spikes in his arms pull out something from his side.

"A forcelance! Oh, this should be interesting." Pearl said with a smirk.

And sure enough, he aimed his forcelance at the suitcase and fired. Her suitcase emitted a ripple of silver light before it repelled the shot back towards him.

Pearl watched him duck as the shot zipped passed his ear. She just couldn't control herself, she burst out laughing.

She was laughing so hard that she had to clutch her stomach as it began to hurt from the force of her laugh. Soon she was kneeling on the floor as she tried to muffle her laughing with her hand over her mouth. But that only made things worst since it made a snorting sound.

"I'm glad the child considers this amusing." Tyr muttered under his breath as he turned away from the all and walked towards the other side of the room.

Pearl had noted the crispiness in his voice, and knew that he was ticked off.

She stopped laughing and got up. "Sorry." She said very slowly, making sure that every word was correctly spelled out.

Harper walked up towards her, followed by Dylan and Rommie.

"I see you're feeling better." Dylan said, but quickly remembered that she could not understand him.

Pearl seemed to feel Dylan's frustrations as well. Looking towards her suitcase she walked up towards it.

But stopped when she saw Rev. Rev looked at her and saw fear in her eyes.

"Do not be afraid child. Look within my appearance, and you will see a new friend." Rev said as he held out his hand in friendship.

Pearl still did not trust him, but she swallowed her own fear and nodded her head in understanding, even though she felt like running all the way back to medic.

She then walked towards her suitcase and kneeled before it. Everybody walked towards her, wondering what she was about to do.

She placed her thumbs on each of the two pads, which Harper had found earlier. A soft humming was heard followed by a tingling sensation starting from Pearls thumbs all the way up to cover her hands.

Suddenly a clicking sound was heard, followed by the forcefield shimmering away. The suitcase then popped open and Pearlana raised the top up.

Harper peered closer and was shocked at what was inside, as well as everyone else.

Pearl rummaged through her stuff, paying no heed to the others around her as she shifted through stuff that to her was just plain ordinary, but to others was just fascinating.

The odd thing about all of this was the fact that from the outside the suitcase looked to be quite small. But as the others watched Pearls head and upper chest disappear within the suitcase, they wondered that perhaps the suitcase was deeper then what it looked.

Dylan was the first to notice a forcelance among her belongings. It was a standard one by the looks of it. But the question remained at how did she require one, and did she know how to use it.

Beka saw a variety of small pouches of different colors aligning the childs suitcase. When Pearl opened one and poured the contents out, Bekas mouth dropped when she saw small rubies falling out and into Pearls hand.

Trance noticed that Pearl had plenty of clothes, different though. Some were looking like a uniform while others looking like bellbottoms with low-cut shirts as well as some overalls and styles that looked like Arabian style.

Pearl picked up her forcelance, completely oblivious to the others around her staring at the contents.

Questions swirling around their minds, like how did she get that? Does she even know how to use that?

She peered deeper into the suitcase, now shoving things away as she franticly tried to get to the bottom of her suitcase.

To the others it was like watching her entire frame disappear within all of her possession, until they suddenly heard her yell out in triumph as she pulled something out of the suitcase.

Harper looked down and saw it to be a small silver devise, looking like a mini spider, probably no bigger then his jack-in. (A/N: I haven't got a clue what they call that. If you know, please tell me)

Pearl examined it for a moment, turning it this way and that. When she saw nothing that could mean it to be broken, she pressed a small button that was to the side of the device.

A green light blinked, then red, and then blue until the small light itself turned completely gold.

Everybody was completely confused at what she was doing.

"What the heck is that thing?" Harper asked himself as he watched a smile cross over Pearls lips.

She then pulled one side of her red, wavy hair back so that it went behind her right ear.

She the placed the device right behind the ear and secured it. The little clamps on the device seemed to suck itself unto her flesh, but it appeared to be painless since she didn't wince nor grimace.

She then pulled her hair to the front, so that is covered the device, and slowly got up. But before she got up, she picked up her forcelance.

She then turned towards them and smiled.

"Do you think she knows how to use that?" Beka inclined towards Dylan.

Pearls smile turned into a huge grin. She then brought out the forcelance and, while still holding it, placed it horizontally right in front of her.

She pressed a button and the forcelance lengthened to become a staff.

"Does this answer your question?" Pearl said her voice strong and sure.

Pearl had to suppress a giggle at the looks of everyone around her. All of their mouths had dropped open, completely amazed that Pearl had spoken in clear English…or at least English for some.

She was greeted by silence. It was so quiet that you could probably hear the soft thumping of a near by heart. The sight of a tumble weed rolling between them would not surprise Pearl, since it was so quiet.

"How can you speak Magog?" Rev astonished asked, as he broke the silence.

"Magog? What are you talking about? She spoke English." Beka countered.

"No, she spoke pure Vendrian." Dylan stated.

"STOP!" The voice of Pearl rang out.

Everybody immediately stopped and looked towards her. She pulled her hair back and looped it behind her right ear.

She then titled her head to the side, so that the others can get a good view of the device.

"This is called a Nano-Langue. It allows me to understand and speak any language that is being spoken." Pearl explained. "That is why you can all understand me in the language that is native to you."

"It appears that the child has been holding out on us." Tyr stated in his serious tone.

Harper stepped closer and delicately touched it. "Wait a minute! I remember now, when I was all jacked up. I had a great idea to create some Nano du-hickie!" Harper excitedly stated.

Rommie began to scan, her eyes moving from side to side.

"My memory files remember when you wanted to invent something like that. I believe it was the time you were making seductive overtures to me in a dead language." Rommie stated with a smirk.

"It wasn't dead the way I spoke it." Harper countered back.

His attention went back to the device behind Pearls ear.

"Who invented this?" Harper asked.

Pearl giggled. "You did."

Harper quickly took a step back in surprise. "What!" He exasperatedly asked.

"You invented it. My brother always said that it was his dimensional doubles' idea and not his to invent this." Pearl stated while pointing towards the device.

Beka raised her hand. "Umm, I have a question."

Pearl turned towards Beka. "Yes?"

"What is all of this about Harper being your brother? Or about a dimensional brother?" Beka asked.

"Well Shamus…I mean Harper…is my dimensional brother." Pearl stated matter-of-factly.

Beka raised her eye brows. "Ok, now I'm even more confused." She said as she walked off.

Dylan then stepped towards Pearl. "As you can see, we are all pretty confused. Why don't you tell us your story, while giving us your name?"

Pearl nodded her head. "My name is Pearlana Orianna Harper, and I come from a Parallel Dimension."

Beka blinked once, Harpers mouth dropped, Dylan straightens his back, Rommie cocked her head to the side, Rev just rubbed his medallion, and Tyr; well he just stared straight at Pearl.

Letting everyone some time to process this information, Pearl began to explain to them her story.

"In our dimensional world, there is a double of someone from this dimension." She then turned to look towards Beka.

"At home, I had a friend called Mala-Propina. She is your dimensional double." Pearl explained.

Bekas mouth dropped, her eyes expanded to twice its size.

Pearl then shifted her gaze towards Harper. "I also have an older brother back home. He is your dimensional self. It's kind of like having a twin, but you never get to meet them." Pearl explained.

"His name is Shamus Zelazny Harper. But I believe here you spell your first name differently." Pearl stated.

All Harper could do was nod his head. Thoughts entered his mind, questions, and memories that should have been forgotten.

"So let me get this straight." Beka started. "You are from a different dimension where everybody there has a double here?"

"Exactly." Pearl said with a smile.

"And I thought our universe was weird." She said.

Dylan, after composing himself, spoke out. "So your brother is Harpers dimensional double?" He asked, still trying to understand what was going on.

"Yes." Pearl said with a nod.

"And you…you are a dimensional double…of my…my." Harper kept on stumbling over his words, like it was unbelieving.

Pearl inclined her head to the side. "I believe so." Pearl said in a whisper.

Harper nodded his head once and turned around and walked out of the Hanger, without looking back.

Pearl watched him leave. Her heart ached to comfort him, because she knew why he was acting this way.

Without another thought she raced towards the doors and ran out to follow Harper.

"Pearl wait!" Dylan called out. But she ignored him.

Hey there! Sorry for the wait. Well here is chapter 6. ENJOY! And sorry that it is a little short. But the next will be long.
