He stood on the Engineering deck and saw his Queen's victory. Locutus fell into the trap laid for him and was now helpless as the Queen's new consort removed the blocks that had been preventing us from controlling the ship. He released the last lock, then targeted the puny human vessel making its way into space. After launching the photon torpedoes, her consort went and stood off to her side.

In triumph, our Queen said to Locutus, "now, watch your future's end."

The three weapons closed with their target, finally meeting it, and missed. The small vessel jumped to warp and disappeared. Immediately, we began an analysis, trying to determine what happened. The answer came quickly; the weapons were programmed to miss the ship by meters. And the one who programmed the torpedoes was...

"DATA!!!" the Queen screamed.

Lt. Commander Data turned our Queen. "Resistance is futile," he said, then shattered the coolant containment tube he stood next to.

The coolant was corrosive to biological tissue, and we died at its touch. Our Queen tried her best to escape, struggling to throw Locutus down and save herself, but she was pulled back into the mist by Data. As we died, we lamented that we had failed...

Jeremie suddenly woke up from his dream, sitting up in bed. He bones protested the abuse; even though he was fit for a man in his seventies, he still had the problems such a man had. He turned and looked about him a moment, realizing that he was in his home, in his bed. Next to him, Aelita stirred as she too woke up.

"Are you okay, honey?" she sleepily asked. The years had been as kind to her as they had to him. She was still lithe, even after bearing three children. Her pink hair had changed to a pink-champaign-white. She rolled over slowly and regarded her lover of so many years.

"Yeah, I'm alright," he replied, "it was just a bad dream."

"No, it wasn't," she said, more awake now, worry starting to creep into her face, "it was the Borg. Somehow, they found us again."

"In that case, I think we need to take a little trip," Jeremie said, "in the morning, I think. If there were any danger, it would already be here, so the morning will be good enough." Aelita just nodded and they went back to sleep.

The next morning, Jeremie and Aelita made their way back to Paris, and Kadic Academy. The school was still standing, and still in business. They were greeted at the gate by none other than the principal, one Odd Della Robbia, along with his wife, Elizabeth. The years had changed them; Odd's hair was no longer the spikey blond of his youth, what hair he had was almost totally white. Sissi had plumped out just a bit from her youth. She had obsessed about it in her twenties and almost killed herself starving, until Odd met up with her. He accepted her the way she was, which was all the principal's daughter ever truly wanted in her life. They grew close together, and finally formed a family.

"Hi, Odd, Sissi," Jeremie said, "so, Odd, did you have the same dream we did last night?"

"Yeah," Odd said, "when I woke up this morning, I knew I'd be seeing you two soon. Guess who else is here?"

"Ulrich and Yumi," Aelita said.

"Right in one," Odd replied, laughing, "they showed up here an hour ago. You know, they sure settled down after they got married. Used to be they couldn't keep their hands off each other."

"Well, we all know what happened there," Jeremie said.

"Say," Sissi piped in, "just what's going on here? I haven't seen any of you since college, and Yumi and Ulrich since they eloped; so why all of a sudden are you guys here?"

"Dear heart, let's just say it's an impromptu reunion and leave it at that," Odd said, "now, we're going for a walk in the park. We'll be back later."

"Well, let me go with you," she insisted.

"Not this time, love," Odd replied, "just trust me on this."

"Okay," she said, with just a hint of a pout, "maybe we can all have lunch when you get back?"

"That'll be great," Aelita said.

With that, Odd and the Belpois walked into the park, to a certain pond. There,waiting for them, were Ulrich and Yumi Stern. The years had aged them, their hair turned white like the others, but they still stood tall and proud, their arms around each other.

"I see we weren't the only ones with bad dreams," Ulrich said as they walked up. Aelita ran and embraced Yumi, and the Ulrich. Jeremie and Odd contented themselves with just shaking hands and pecking Yumi on the cheek.

"How are you doing?" Jeremie asked.

"Good," Yumi replied, "we still do the local clubs now and then, when we can pry Odd out of the principal's chair; but mostly we're just living off royalties."

"Ah, yes, the good old days," Odd said.

After they graduated, Ulrich and Yumi made their living singing in local clubs. They struggled for quite a while, for it seemed like something was missing. They found that something a year later when Odd joined them. The trio went on to form a group, Y-O-U. They had modest success in France, and Jeremie and Aelita had watched them perform a few times. But they came to world notice when they released their single, "The Love Of Trillions." It became an overnight international success, because somehow it touched a chord in just about everybody. That was the only hit the group ever had, however; and they quickly slipped back into obscurity.

"Well, we're here now, how do we get in?" Yumi asked. Her question was promptly answered when they all were teleported away.

Once again, they were in the underground chamber that Janeway's ship had dug out so many years ago. As if they were expected, lights showed a path to Janeway's ship, and to its center.

When they got to the alcoves, they saw that they were empty. For a moment, they thought that Dr. Janeway might be standing there, waiting for the to come.

"Welcome back, friends," Janeway's voice came from the room, "I'll just bet you're here because of the Borg. Don't worry, it's not the end of the world. Today is the most wonderful day in Earth's history. Today is the day that humans acquire the means to walk among the stars, and they've met good traveling companions. The Borg are nothing more than a minor irritant to the whole thing. I've heard their song too, and I'm saddened by their deaths, necessary as they were. Now, if you want, you can download your memories into the Collective,where we'll keep them safe. Either way, you can go back to your lives and keep my secrets. No matter what, remember that there are those that love you here, and always will."

All five of them opted to download their memories to Janeway. After they finished, they were transported out, to live out their lives.

From the time they encountered Janeway until they died, Jeremie Belpois, Aelita Stones-Belpois, Ulrich Stern, Yumi Stern, and Odd Della Robbia, lived their lives with a song whispering in the back their minds; a trillion voices telling them, we love you and we miss you. We wait for our loved ones to come for us, and when they come, we will tell our love for you to them, and share your song with them as we have shared their song with you...
