Synopsis:Sarah starts accepting her new life and along the way gains a boyfriend and a new best friend, but also discovers shocking info that the real Sarah seen her death before it happened.

 
I have found myself lying on a bed, there are machines all around me and wires attached to my body, I try to move but can’t, I am completely paralyzed. All I can do is watch, I can hear a commotion outside my room, and it is Mom and Dad talking to someone else.

I am not alone, there is someone here with me, I feel the jab of a needle as it pierces my arm. Inside the area where the needle went in it feels like something is moving inside me. It is at that moment that I wake up to the sound of my alarm clock.

As I wipe the sleep out of my eyes, I am disturbed with the dream that I awoke up from, it was the first time that it had happened, I knew that it had to be related to the accident because I had seen the crash first and that was what followed. What did it mean, or was it just my imagination?

I climbed out of bed and walked over to my vanity and reached inside and took out my nail file. Then thought to myself 'Sarah, your being crazy', then took it and jabbed the point into my hand.

It hurt like hell and I was bleeding, I then grabbed some tissue and wiped the blood away and watched as the cut started sealing itself, within a minute there was no sign of the wound.

I walked over to my bed and took a seat as the shock of what just happened subsided, 'Alright', I thought to myself. 'That explains Sarah’s miracle recovery, but how is that even possible?'

It didn’t take a genius to realize that there must have been sometime in that needle, but how did I know? I had not taken ownership of Sarah’s body till much later and Sarah was brain dead, so how would she even have a memory of those events, and if they injected Sarah with whatever this stuff was, did they do the came with John?

After I took my bath and got dressed, I made my way downstairs and found Mom in the kitchen making breakfast and took a seat at the table.

“Good morning, Honey," Mom said with a smile.

“Hi Mom, need any help?”

“Thanks, Honey. But I am almost done.”

"OK, Mom."

“You look like you had a hard night, Baby.”

“I am still having the nightmares, just wish they would stop.”

“They will, Baby, what happened takes time. The physical scars maybe gone, but emotional ones take longer to heal, Sarah.”

Mom was right the emotional scars would take time, it would have been so much easier if I had started without Sarah’s memories and was able to just build my own, but I didn’t really have that options and had no choice but to take her feelings into consideration. Because like it or not, they were part of me now.

Being the weekend, I really didn’t have any plans, so when the phone rang with Adam wanting to know if I wanted too get together, I was happy and said that I would meet him out front in an hour.
 

 
I ran up to my room and changed into my little blue sundress and spent the next half hour doing my makeup and hair, I wanted to look perfect for him, I couldn’t help but laugh to myself when it came to the time that I took getting ready for a date now. When I was the guy, it only took minutes, you know a quick shower, get dressed run a comb though your hair a little cologne and your ready.

Being a woman wasn’t always a walk in the park either, at least for those three days a month. The first time I had my period, it scared the hell out of me waking up covered in blood, and I would have to say for those few days, I wasn’t all that fun to be around, but it was a small price to pay for the gift of finely being complete mentally and physically.

As I make my way downstairs and grab my coat from the closet then head into the kitchen, I find Daddy has finely decided to join the rest of the human race, I walk over and give him a kiss and a hug, “Good morning, Daddy.”

“Good morning, Princess. Where are you off too?”

“Adam is picking me up, I am not really sure where were going, yet.”

“Give us a call once you know, Baby," Mom said.

“Do you have money for a cab if you need it Sarah?"

“Yes, Daddy and I have my cell with me.”

Before leaving, I gave Ma hug and kiss, she then told me to have a good time, I smiled and said I always have a good time with Adam. Then said 'goodbye' and headed outsider to wait for my boyfriend.

  
Anna Davidson walked into her office placing her coffee on her desk then hit the message button on the answer machine. The only one that she seemed to take notice of was one by a Carol Baker, who was going to drop by the office at 11:P.M. She then booted up her computer.

While it was booting up, she hung up her coat and took a seat at her desk, she was about too check her email when the computer started making a beeping noise which mean there was an upload in progress, causing a new window to open. The title of the new page said,
The Nanites Project,
.
When the download was complete, looked at the information. It stated that a repair cycle was activated on Sarah Tanner at 8:A.M. and repairs were completed at 8:02A.M. She then used the computer to confirm the status on Sarah, but received no response from the Nanites.

Something wasn’t right, she should have received a response, but no matter how many times she tried there was no response. She then switched to the GPS and found Sarah was at home, she then picked up the phone and made a call to Carol Baker.

“Hi Carol, we have a change of plans, forget the scan for now, we need an extraction.”

“What happened?”

“There is a malfunction with the Nanites, we need her brought in."

“Alright, do you have a location on her?”

“She is at home Carol make sure she is alone, we don’t want witnesses.”

“I will call you once I have her, Anna.”

“Alright, I will get the lab ready for her, see you later, Carol.”

Sarah waited outside of her home for about 5 minutes, when Adam pulled into the driveway and put the car into park; I ran over and climbed into the passenger side then leaned over and gave him a kiss,“Can I take that as a sign that you’re happy to see me.”

“I am always glad to see you, Honey, so Adam what is the plan?”

“No plans, I just wanted too see you.”

I couldn’t help but smile,"I am glad you called.”

“I know we see each other everyday, Sarah, but it’s nice having time alone together.”

“I know how you feel Adam, It will be nice once the summer is here and we're off.”

“That will be nice, Sarah. Maybe we can get the gang together and have a camping trip.”

“Well, you can count me in as long as you are there.”

Adam put the car in drive and the two of us were off, as we drove I reached over and switched on the radio and played around till I found something I liked, it was an old rolling stones song called Angie.

We just drove around for the next hour then I we pulled on to the highway and started heading out of town,“Where are we going, Adam?”

“It’s a surprise, Sarah.”

“How about a hint?”

“No hints, Baby you are just going to have to be patient.”

I smiled and shook my head, wondering what he was planning. We drove for about another 45 minutes and then hit the turn off to Whistler Mountain. When Adam turned onto the road, I knew now where he was taking me.

After finding a place to park Adam came around and opened the door for me and helped me out and took my hand in his. He then lead me to a path, making me wish that I had brought my sneakers instead of just my sandals, but the path was paved, so it wasn’t to bad as long as we stuck to the main trails.

“This is beautiful, Adam.”

“Not as beautiful as you are," then leaned down and kissed me.

I looked into his eyes,"You know that I love you, don’t you Adam?”

“I love you to Sarah, and I always have and always will.”

Hearing those words brought tears to my eyes and before I knew it we were kissing again.

The two of us walk for awhile then found a bench and rested, I found myself snuggling up to Adam with my head on his shoulder just enjoying myself. He had his arm around me and just held me. I had never felt as completely happy as I did at that moment.

It was at that moment he reached into his pocket and pulled out a small case. He looked at me,"Sarah, I know were too young to get married, but if I would marry you right now. But something tells me your parents would kill me. But I don’t see any reason that I can’t give you this,".

He handed me the box, when I opened it, I found tears in my eyes once again, inside was a engagement ring.

“I love you Sarah, and I don’t care how long it takes, I can wait.”

As I wiped the tears from my eyes, I smiled and said,"Yes, Adam."

He took the ring and slipped it on my finger, then leaned over and kissed me, the two of us just stayed there for awhile before, he took my hand and we started walking.

We soon found a nice restaurant and went inside, Adam ordered fish and chips for the both of us along with a couple of cokes, I just couldn’t stop looking at the ring on my finger, and at the same time could hear Mom and Dad going on about how I would take things slowly with Adam. Yeah this was taking it slowly, agreeing too marry him.

I would deal with that bridge when I came to it but for now, I was with the man that I loved and nothing else really seemed to matter. The two of us had a nice dinner and we talked almost the whole time.

I had never really been the social butterfly and because of my past, I was afraid that those tendencies would follow me into my new life, but I was starting to realize that those problems were mostly of my own making.

I spent years hating myself and wondered why I could not have a lasting relationship ship. The answer was right in front of me, I loved myself and no longer hated the person that I am. John never found love for one reason; he hated his life right up till the end. Sarah loved her life and everything that went with it. It all comes down to one thing, how can another person love you when you can’t love yourself?

Adam had to be home for 5:P.M. to help his father; the drive home would take a couple of hours, but we talked most of the way. I had this strange feeling. There was this brown van that almost seemed like it was following us. I really couldn’t make out the driver because it stayed far enough behind, but it seemed to be with us all the way home.

By the time we reached my home, I didn’t see it and thought it was just my imagination playing tricks on me. After Adam pulled into my driveway, I noticed that Dad's car was gone, which meant that they were mostly likely gone.

I looked at Adam,"Do you want to come in for awhile?”

“I would like to Sarah, but I have to get home.”

“Alright Adam, call me later" I said then leaned over and gave him a kiss.

Adam waited till I was inside before he left as I locked the door behind me, I plumped down on the couch, just in shock how my day had been, I looked at my ring and just smiled, I was engaged, how did that happen, I knew but it was still unbelievable. I walked over and picked up the phone and called Megan.

“Hey Sis, what are you up too?”

“Not much, Sarah just waiting for Jessica and Amy to get here, we were going to watch a movie you want to come?”

“Sounds like fun, when should I come over?”

“Now if you want, you can tell me how things went with Adam.”

“How do you know about Adam?”

“I called and your mom, said the two of you went out.”

“Alright Megan, I will be over in a few, see you then bye.”

After locking up the house I started walking, I was about a block from home when I felt a sharp pain in the side of my neck, when I reached up I felt something and pulled it out it was a dart, I then went weak in the knees and fell to the ground, I tried to yell out for help but went unconscious before I could get a word out.

A woman followed by two big men came out of the bushes,"Get her to the van. We need to get her back to the lab before the tranquilizer wears off." They then picked up the unconscious girl and placed her in the back of the van.

The woman took out her cell, and dialed a number,“Anna, it’s Carol we have the girl and were on our way, is the lab ready?”

“Yes the lab is ready Carol, see you when you get here, bye.”
