It was a terrible dream: there she was on stage all set to perform, and the lyrics just wouldn't come. And it seemed the hall was in space with moons and planets visible in the darkness where an audience should have been sitting. Then Rick was, what?-God! he was coming down the aisle with Lisa on his arm...

Minmei's eyes focused on Rick's face as she came around. She was in bed and he was leaning over her with a concerned look. She gave him a weak smile and hooked her arms around his neck.

"Oh, Rick, what a dream I had-"

"Minmei, are you all right?" He had unfastened her embrace and was holding her hands.

"Well, yeah," she began. "Except for that..." Then it hit her like a brilliant flash.

Rick saw the shock of recognition in her eyes and tried to calm her. "You're aboard the SDF-3. You're safe, now, and the doctors say you'll be fine."

"Where's Janice, Rick!"

"She's right next door." Rick motioned. "And she's okay. Dr. Lang is with her."

Minmei buried her face in her hands and cried, Rick's hand caressing her back. "Why did you do it, Minmei?" he asked after a moment.

She looked up and wiped the tears away. "Rick, I just couldn't let everyone leave. You're all so important to me. Do you understand?"

"You could have been killed, do you understand that?"

She nodded. "Thank you for saving me."

Rick cleared his throat. "Well, actually you'll have to thank Colonel Wolff for that. But listen, you better get some rest now. There's a lot I have to tell you, but it'll keep."

"Thank you, Rick."

"Go to sleep now," he said, standing up and tucking her in.

She was out even before Rick left the room, so she didn't see the orderly who entered, or the astonished look Rick gave the bearded man. It was a look of recognition, but one tinged with enough disbelief to render the first impression false. But as the orderly studied Minmei's sleeping form, he recalled how he had once protected her from giants and worse.
