Hello readers, thank you for the lovely reviews. Keep them coming!

Ethan's POV

Ethan laid there on a small couch inside the Observatory Room as the stars passed on by going half the speed of light. Ethan grabbed a nearby pillow and brought it to his chest as he nestled into the soft fabric. His mind was tired from a millions thoughts racing at incredible speeds, not to mention he hadn't slept in two days. Ethan let his eyes close as he nestled the pillow close before he finally felt his body relaxing as it journeyed into a deep slumber.

Ethan's eyes opened as he noticed he was back in his old room, everything neatly put away and cleaned as he turned around and looked around. It was nighttime as he listened to the soft chirping of crickets outside his window, the moonlight shining in over the floor. Ethan noticed a light glowing under his door as he walked over and grabbed onto the knob, turning it slowly before opening it and looking into the hallway of his house.

"Mom? Dad? Where is everyone?"Ethan asked as he moved towards the stairwell, noticing the downstairs lights were on as well.

"Sweetie? What's wrong?" came a familiar voice as Ethan turned around to see his mother exiting her bedroom as she shut the door behind her.

"Mom...it's really you." Ethan said as he stood there in shock, his mother looking at him weirdly as she raised a eyebrow.

"Of course it's me sweetheart, who else would it be?" Samantha said as she moved past Ethan, ruffling his hair before Ethan suddenly lurched forward and tugged his mother back into his arms, causing her to emit a small gasp.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Samantha said as she slowly began to rub her sons back before Ethan noticed his arms and the small glow in them.

"Wait...your not freaked out about the glow inside me?" Ethan asked as he leaned back and looked down at his body before looking his mother back in her eyes.

"Ethan, your my son and I love you more than life itself. Your different, but what's that matter to me? I love my children no matter what, and just because your different, it means I have a unique son. And being that my son is unique, it makes me one proud mother." Samantha said as she raised a hand up to Ethan's cheek and began to brush it softly, causing the glow to radiate around her fingertips where she was pressing. Ethan just smiled at his mother before embracing her once more, feeling her hair against his cheek and her chest pressed up against him as he took comfort in the warmth of his mother's hug.

"I'm so scared mom...I don't know what to do." Ethan said, opening his eyes when he felt his mother grab hold of his cheeks and stare into his glowing eyes.

"Ethan, you can do whatever you set your mind to. Your power is limitless in the world, and if you truly want something, strive to achieve it. Just believe in yourself Ethan...just believe in yourself." Samantha said softly.

Ethan awoke with a start as he peered off into the darkness, he noticed he had been moved from the Observatory Room and into a bed of some sort. Ethan noticed soft green glows radiating around the room from other peoples bodies. He slowly got out of bed and noticed he was in the sleeping quarters of the crew. Ethan tiptoed towards the door, careful not to alarm anyone before he heard slight rustling off to his side.

"Hey...who's there?" came a tired voice as Ethan stopped dead in his tracks before he looked over and noticed a person moving about their bed before standing up and turning on a light on a near table.

"I...uh...didn't mean to wake you. Do you know where I can find Commander Shepard?" Ethan asked the man as he turned around and took a good look at him.

"Yea, he should be in his personal cabin up top, I can take you to him." the man said before Ethan could protest, walking forward and leading him out of the door.

Shepard's POV

Shepard sat there at one of his desks, piecing together a toy model of the SV Normandy.

"Commander, Major Alenko and Ethan are on their way to see you. Just thought I'd let you know." came EDI's voice over the intercom as Shepard looked around towards his door, a soft beeping coming from it shortly after. Shepard got up and moved towards the door, pressing a button to open it as Kaidan walked in with Ethan at his side.

"He wanted to come speak with you Commander. I thought I'd show him the way to your cabin." Kaidan said with a smile before leaving with a wave and walking out and towards the ships elevator.

"What can I do for you?" Shepard asked as he watched the door close behind Kaidan, leaving Ethan and him alone.

"I wanted to talk...I had a dream and it kinda cleared things up a bit for me. I mean don't get me wrong, I'm still incredibly confused and freaked out but...I think I have a better grip on things." Ethan said as he followed Shepard to one of the two couches in his personal cabin.

"What happen in the dream?" Shepard asked as he sat down, Ethan taking a seat on the other couch as he sat there and twiddled with his thumbs for a bit.

"I saw my mother again...I was back home, except I had this body. My mother didn't even notice, all she said was that I was unique and she was proud of me. She told me I could do anything if I set my mind to it. I realize that...even though my world has been completely turned upside down...and I mean completely...that's there's nothing I can do to change that. My old body is gone...and with it, my old life. I'm stuck here in this universe now, and even though I still can't grasp the concept of how that is, it is what it is, there's no going back now. I'm ready to start the Identification Process and begin my new life in this universe." Ethan said as he looked up and over at Shepard who was listening intently.

"I'm glad to hear that, I know it can't be easy. I'll contact the Councilor when she's done handling business for the Citadel. Ethan...I want you to know that you have the support of my crew and I, we will help you in any way we can." Shepard said as he leaned forward and pressed a reassuring hand onto Ethan's knee, smiling at the twenty-year old.

Jane's POV

Jane sat there in her room as she stared at pictures of space and galaxies. She smiled when she came across another picture of Mars.

"Sweetie, are you going to eat dinner at all?" Samantha said as she walked into Jane's room, a dish rag in her hand as she stared at her daughter.

"Yea, in a bit. I'm busy studying Mars." Jane said as she smiled and held a picture up for her mother to see as she smiled. "Did you know that scientists speculate that life once existed on Mars millions of years ago." Jane said excitedly as her mother smiled and walked over to see the work her daughter had done.

"It looks wonderful dear, who knows, maybe you'll be the first woman on Mars one day." her mother said with a small chuckle as she ruffled Jane's ponytail.

"You really think so?" Jane asked as she looked at her mother and smiled with child like glee as her mother just chuckled once more.

"You can do anything you set your mind to baby girl. Now come on, dinner is getting cold." Samantha said, leading Jane out of her room.
