Sorry for the delay, I am a little bit sick, but I will try my best to continue this story, and maybe make a sequel. Who know?


Tali and Liara were talking at the balcony for more than an hour. Finally they started to chill and laugh on funny stories mostly about Shepard.

Liara mentioned that when they rescued her she was so despaired that she first thought that they were just a hallucination.

"That is funny Liara, but we still find you, and save you. I remember the first think about you was that you are scary..."

"Scary? Why was I scary to you dear Tali?" She smiled as she looked at her friend.

"Well... that black eternity thing that is kindda scary you know..."

"Yes... I got that a lot...you know that that is how we share our memories...maybe someday I will share you some of my memories...but for that I will need some place without your suit..."

"I think we are good friends for it, but... you know that only John saw me without my mask...even Kasumi who is my best friend haven't saw my like that... so I think we will have to wait with that...sorry."

"No problem Tali, and I didn't said that I need you to take your mask of... as simple as taking of your glove is enough for me with the procedure."

"Really? Well if you wouldn't mind...we could do it right now, I can seal of that segment of the suit, and we should be okay..."

"Sure... just give me a minute, okay I got it!"

Tali carefully sealed her suit, and take of her gloves on both hands. Liara noticed that her skin colour is pale purple.

"I didn't know that Quarians were purple... by the Goddess Tali you must be beautiful under that suit."

"Yes we are purple as I know...I haven't seen much Quarian without suit... and Liara...thank you."

She stepped closer to the Asari, they hand were on each others. Liara noticed that how soft is her hands are.

"Okay Tali close your eyes and brace eternity!"

Suddenly she was in a black hall, next to her was Liara.

"Where are we?"

"Hush Tali, and follow me..."

She turned around and walked towards a bright light, Tali followed her. She was a little confused.

Suddenly they were in a park. There was Benezia, and a little blue child. It was probably Liara as a child.

"This was the moment when my mother gave me my first history book. This is the only memory from her that is nice..."

"She was beautiful, and you were cute Liara..."

"Ahh...I was just a dumb child, but yeah she was beautiful... I... miss her."

"I am sorry Liara, but at least you know she is in peace now."

"Yes...Thank you Tali."

"Liara is it possible to share one of my memories like this?"

"Yes but before that I may have to end this and take a little break."

"Sure, and Liara thanks for sharing this to me."

When back to normality Tali stroked Liaras face and hugged her.

"Tali, I am ready are you ready to share your memories with me?"

"Yes Liara let's do it."

They did the same thing again, but now after walking to the light they were on the flotilla. There were Tali, Shepard and Kasumi, plus a lot of Quarians.

"This is the Rayya the ship were I was born. This was during my trial, were Shepard saved me from exile, by shouting with the most powerful persons in the entire fleet. Nobody never ever do something like this to me. That was the moment when I told myself that I should tell him my feelings."

"And you did it, and see...he is with you... full love... Tali I think it's time to accept his apologies. Let's go!"

Liara opened the door while Tali put back on her gloves, and unsealed her suit.

At the hall Shepard was drinking with Zaeed, Thane and Garrus. He had some bottles of beer and some harder stuff; he even managed to somehow get some Russian vodka.

He heard that the roofs door opened. It was Liara and right behind here was Tali. Shepard quickly got up from his chair and run to her. He grabbed her arm, and hugged her as tight as he could.

"Tali, I am sorry... I really am so so sorry... I love you from all of my heart."

She stroked his hair and looked into his deep blue eyes covered in tears.

"John... you don't need to be sorry. I was over reacting...and I love you with all of my heart... John you are my bond-mate and you will ever be."

Lia appeared next to them, she was still nervous. She just stood there and watched to the lovers. Finally she managed to speak.

"If there is someone to blame for this...it's me... I bought that suit, if I haven't none of this would have happened... I am sorry. I should go back to the ship..."

Tali grabbed her arm, not letting her to move away from them.

"No Lia it wasn't your fault! I am the one to be blame at... I...overreacted. I was a silly bosh'tet. And Lia, we have accepted each other as friends do you remember? So please stay and enjoy...for me..."

"Thanks Tali...I will."

She went back to Samara and Miranda. John and Tali went to the balcony hand in hand. He lights a cigarette and looks at the view of the sunset. Tali lean her helmet on his shoulders.
