" Wrex... "Then we will fight in the shade... but no hiding!" Grunt...  "I settle for nothing but the best." Miranda...  "Do you hear that hum? Is that just me?" James All those who Sacrificed themselves for a better tomorrow: "Had to be me. Someone else might've gotten it wrong." Mordin... "A suicide mission? Yes...a suicide mission would do nicely. I'm dying." Thane... "Hope sustains organics during periods of difficulty. We...admire the concept." Legion His Teacher... His Best Friend... His Lover... 'I'm doing this for all of you, the reaper deserve a second chance just like the Geth, I hope you can forgive me.' As he was blacking out from the burning sensation of the beam, He heard a small voice scream "We found Shepard!" Youtube Video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m6u8QIqLSmU) *BOOM* He heard it and felt the ground shake a little as he stirred. Opening His eyes, He felt blinded by the large amount of light that was hitting all at once. Letting his eyes adjust to the light, He opened them to find He was somewhere. Feeling his surrounding, he realized he was in the Med-Bay of the Normandy. 'Guess  it wasn't a last minute  Hallucination after all.' He thought before getting up. As he was getting up, A stinging sensation in side hit at full speed. "Fuck, That stings! Either I'm not fully healed yet, or there was an infection on my wounds and my skin healed over it." Thinking it over a minute, he Decided to go with Option 1. Walking down the Path, A familiar voice popped in with a second familiar voice piping up. "Yes, James, trying to cross the red wite and the yellow wire will cause it to explode, but we still need that." The first voice said. "okay, Mrs.Loco" the second voice said on a comm. Smiling, Shepard turned to see the familiar enviro-suit of his Lover Tali'Zorah Vas Normandy Nar Rayya, Talking with his friend James on a mini-comm. He decided to play with her, tapping her left shoulder while standing behind her right shoulder. Tali looked behind her left shoulder then her right and saw him. He could sense she was about to yell at him so put a finger to his mouth as a 'shhh' motion for her. Nodding, she followed him as he went into the elevator and watched as he pressed the button that goes to his room. "Shepard, why are up?" Tali asked him, her voice full of worry. Shepard smiled at her, she was still cute when she worried. "I'm fine, Tali. Don't worry." He said as the elevator door opened. Grabbing Tali's hand, he sat down on the bed with her. As he started to relax , he felt something cold and creamy being rubbed on his left arm. Looking at her, he saw Tali's three-fingered gloved hand covered in white medi-gel while she rubbed it on his wounds there. "Tali, how long have I been out?" Shepard asked her. "A few months, John, nothing-" she was cutoff as Shepard spoke to her. "Do I really need medi-gel on my wounds then?" Shepard asked her again, his logic showing. "Yes, no, maybe, I don't know. I'm just worried about you, John. okay?" Tali answered while Shepard removed her mask. "Shepard." she argued calmly. "Just for tonight, Tali, please?" Shepard begged. Tali looked up in deep thought for a while before nodding and pouncing on him. "It's been too long since I've kissed you, Shepard." Tali said in between passionate kisses. Shepard just nodded in agreement as he started to remove parts of her enviro-suit. "Shepard?" grunting awake, the savior of the galaxy for three times in a row slowly sat up in bed. Getting aware of his surroundings, Shepard saw Tali sleeping right next to him. Her beautiful bright white eyes closed while her elf-like ear twitched a little. Running a hand down Tali's smooth purplish-gray skin to her curvy hips, John asked "What is it, EDI?" "Would you like me to notify the crew that you are awake?" The AI asked. "No, I show myself in maybe another hour or two. Go spend with Joker, I'm alright. Honest." He stated as the voice left the room. Sighing happily he cuddled up with Tali again and took in her sweet scent. "Mmm, was that EDI?" She asked, sleep still in her voice. He nodded. "Don't worry, I told her to leave us alone. We'll tell the crew when we feel like it. In the meantime, up for a second round?" Shepard asked flirtatiously, running his hand over her bare ass. "For you, anything." She said calmly before dove in her neck and started to kiss her neck. "Keelah, Shepard. You're still amazing in bed. However, Chakwas will find out that you are up and about when she goes to the med bay." She moaned, a little as Shepard's left hand squeezed one of her breasts from underneath the cover. "So? Until then, we can be together." He said as he started to kiss her fully on the lips. "Sister, what is it?" Luna asked, her voice full of questions for her sister, Princess Celestia of the sun, who was sitting out on the palace balcony staring up at the sky. "Nothing, Luna, just thinking." Celestia briefly answered. Luna tilted her head to the side as if she was asking her 'About what? "Do you ever wonder if there was life out there. I mean, something like that green burst never happens. "I don't know, sister. Only time will give us the answers we are looking for. Now, it is time for the night to arrive, Celestia. We'll- I mean- I'll take over for now." Luna said. As Celestia and Luna nodded to each other as was they're way of silently saying goodnight, the solar princess looked up up at the sky and just thought 'what if?' "Has there been any sightings of the changelings?" Celestia asked. "None so far, but we have an ally in the Dragon Alpha Haakon in the case that they invade us a second time." Luna answered swiftly. "And the griffons?" Celestia asked. Luna stomped her hoof and huffed, grumbling about how the Griffons weren't needed for a war with changelings. Celestia rolled her eyes, It was true that the Griffons had been at war with Equestria thousands of years ago. However, they turned themselves around to be a nice paper tiger ally if they were needed. "Sister?" Luna asked, gaining Celestia's attention. "Do you think we will succeed, even with the dragons?" Luna worried. "We'll win, Luna
