Hey~everyone knows about those stupid errors right? well, this is the one story I am allowed to edit, jokes on me since I was ignoring it for Harry's amusing antics and hanging out with friends and playing games~ So I'm back...again.
If you are willingly still reading this, check back once every Month to see if I uploaded the new edited chapters; this is the slightly unfinished chapter Two; I just got to Edit the last bit-Or I may jump to chapter three; This is to Verelan because I just realized how sketchy the chapters were before chapter six or was it chapter five oh w/e.
Title: Another Time
Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek 2009, I only own this Mind and I gladly lend out my idea's. I don't mind seeing the exact same story written by another person as long as it has its differences. NOR do I own Avatar, I just borrowed Pandora b/c I love that saying and thought it very romantic.
Pairing: Nero/Mandana
A/N: I also just realized that Mandana and Nero may not have existed in this time line so I'm sorta running on the assumption that they had long life's like Vulcans. A/N: I found some Romulan words, so hopefully I'm using them correctly; otherwise it looks cool!
A/N: I'm editing it, because I just realized how short and small it was. Not enough Info on Mandana at all so I'm going to update the chapters! And it really needs to be Edited for me to put up chapter six else the ending which I finally came to an agreement on because I was real if-y about it, wouldn't make much sense. So, thank you V and I hope this has you jumping with joy as you press the Next Chapter Button-I'll try to Edit it as fast as possible; but don't stop yourself from reading-I think I'm keeping what I have up because its a basic outline. So on to the new and improved Directors (laugh) Cut.
Edited Version A: 03/30/11-
Recap: She loved knowing that when her time with the federation was up she wouldn't be leaving it fully; if she survived to retirement.
Chapter Four
Nero had a dream last night, after catching Ambassador Spock and marooning him on Delta Vega, before he woke up and lowered the drill to Vulcan's surface in preparation to destroy the planet. It wasn't often that he had dreams that weren't memories of a time that used to be. Most of the time he watched from afar as his dreams showed him the past, watching as his other self smiled at Mandana when she wasn't looking, left some trinket on the counter before he left, held her as they laughed when they found out the news of their child.
Mostly Nero had nightmares. He watched the death of his family, watched Mandana turn to him begging him to save her, he watched Romulus crumble. For a long time he couldn't sleep, Ayel had finally knocked him out one day when he had delivered him lunch to his room (he sometimes forgot to eat, it just wasn't important anymore, not when it all tasted like ash); he had woke up angry, screaming at Ayel. Ayel had looked at him calmly, ordered him to eat and report to the bridge, and then he had proceeded to warn him that if he didn't keep up his health he would knock him out in front of the crew. It was better then watching his sluggish brain take in what the others told him, what had seemed like calm thoughtful logic, was just a man trying to stay awake.
It had been so long since he had dreamed though he had welcomed that lonely darkness, and he had dreamed of her, the beautiful wife he didn't deserve; the one that was so cruelly taken from his arms along with his unborn child. In the beginning he had wanted to die, to join her in the oblivious darkness, but now he had a purpose; to destroy spock, to annielhate the Federation.
-Dream (flashback/memory of,)-
"Nero, his wife laughed holding a small child in her arms that looked surprisingly similar to her with wavy dirty blonde hair and bright green eyes.
"Who?he whispered breathless, It was her, his Mandana. Twenty-five years, and her beauty still stunned him.
"Aihr R'Imus, your son, she smiled. It was then that he realized how flat her stomach was, before he had left home she had looked ready to pop.
"Hnafirh'rau, please? he begged tears threatening to spill.
"Ie, Nero! she laughed, the question confusing he, why would she deny him the right to see their child? Nero marveled at the little boy, he came up to his knee, and he stood at attention as if wanting to impress him. He is Rhi now, and misses you much, he loves riding the Fvailn you got him for his birthday, you were right and I was wrong, he is not too young for such a pet. he yelled pushing the child back towards her, flinching when he saw the fear in his eyes. This was a dream-this was a nightmare now, of what would have been and now never would be.
"Nero?" she asked, worry shining in her eyes.
"Be gone, Aehallh! Nero whispered, torment my broken soul no more,
"No, Nero, it is you who must cease, H'ta fvau, come back home to me, to us. Mandana begged.
"Hwiiy-! but he could not bring himself to tell the dream that she was dead. He feared that this dream would turn into a real nightmare, that she would die as she had died on Romulus. He didn't want that. So he stood in silence and watched them interact with one another. Every now and again Mandana would glance at him curiously. R'Imus seemed shy, but whenever Nero caught him looking a brilliant smile lit his face; his family glowed with love.
Mandana stood up slowly, leaving the boy to play with the Fvailn.
"It is time, Nero." she whispered forlorn.
"Time for what?"
"For this dream to end, your body is waking though your mind is still tired."
Rha-rh'e, you are a fool, you can still have this, why do you have to be such a sseikae?
-end dream/flashback/memory-
It had been a long time since he had heard Mandana call him that, what had once been an insult, had become an endearment as their stubborn hearts grew closer.
He awoke from his light doze staring out into the darkness of space, his captain seat was cold, the other Romulans worked diligently at their staions. He looked down at Vulcan, the drill had been lowered before he fell asleep, he saw the systems beginning to boot up to activate it.
He stared off to the right of his view screen, soon Federation ships would jump out of warp and walk right into his trap.
I'm coming...His breath caught in his throat, her voice was so beautiful, so clear and melodious like he remembered. But this Mandana was younger, this Mandana was younger then the Mandana when they had first met. He wondered why the bond was there, did this other Nero have more time with Mandana, was it possible she was already with child? But still, he couldn't set off his trap if Mandana was in one of those blasted Federation ships...could he?
His Mandana was dead...this wasn't his Mandana. But his heart ached with sorrow, the bond felt like it had been stung, softly throbbing but the damage was still there. The only reason he hadn't gone insane like some of the others who hadn't been so fortunate to have had bonds this far back was because of this Mandana.
NO! Go back, Nero thought.
Trouble...Vulcan...Help...Her thoughts were young, incomplete, she wasn't used to using the bond; he worried about this Nero and this Mandana's relationship. The bond should have been more solid, he shouldn't even be able to communicate with this Mandana.
End Chapter
A/N: I researched some words on the romulan language, it looked cool, hope it wasn't annoying. Here are the definition/explanation, if your curious.
Aihr~This is
Hnafirh'rau~let me(us) see (it) -He's referring to the child obviously.
Rhi-Five
Fvailn-pet/riding beast -I think of it as a large fluffy dog, and I think the extra letters at the end make it female because the other one given was Fvai.
-Khoi~Cease -according to the small dictionary i looked at this is mostly used on a ship, and since he's been out in space for so long I've decided to let the lines between home and space blur a little.
Aehallh~monster/ghost
H'ta Fvau~ come back here-I thought i might have cleared it up when i had her repeat it by saying come back home-I tried to throw in clues to what they were saying.
Hwiiy~you are
Ssuej-d'lfv~do you understand -he's referring to the fact that she wasn't real.
Rha-rh'e~indeed -this can also be 'is that so' 'oh yeah' so i figure this is a more sarcastic/snide way of saying yes.
Sseikae~Hyena, its an insult in romulan, the explanation was really long but i boiled it down to insult. -I love ot when couples turn an insult into an endearment its just cute.
-YEAH! I UPDATED!_
next chapter~ will Mandana dream about nero to before she meets him? well, next chapter their meeting. prepare to see a confused Nero and a crew or Romulans that don't want to fight anymore! but they still may fight because they started it.
Oh yes~~if that annoying Quote thing keeps popping up I'm sorry; I clicked the spell check and every time I delete them and write some more and then recheck spell check it kept popping back up. So Just ignore that...well I guess you already did if your reading this.
