RATING: PG-13, on account of death
SPOILERS: If you don't like semi-depressing ficcie, screw you and don't read this.
DISCLAIMER: If you believe I own these characters, you are slow. I don't own any characters. The character of Riley is owned by Joss Whedon, Mutant Enemy, and anyone else lucky enough to own a part of Buffy. He has been altered a slight bit, however. All the other characters are my friends on AOL, and if you take them, I am sure they will be very displeased, so you must not do so. And if you take MY character... I will have to personally hurt you. And, of course, this ficcie may start happy-like, but believe me it's depressing. You have a problem with that, don't read it. No skin off my back. Other than that, sit back and enjoy!
AUTHOR'S NOTES: You steal my ficcie, I will hunt you down so fast... Oh. And if you have and constructive critisism, I will love you forever and ever. If, however, you send me an e-mail somewhere along the lines of UR FIC SUX!!! IT WAS SOOOO STUPID!!! UR A HORRBLE RIGHTER!!!! I will be pissed. And, rest assured, I WILL e-mail you back. And I probably will not be very nice about it.

Lisa gasped, the aliens were more frightening than she had imagined! Maggie grabbed Lisas arm and ran. Suddenly Rachel appeared, her trusty phaser firing wildly. She tossed a phaser to both Maggie and Lisa and shouted "Run!"

And they ran. They were at the mouth of the mothership, about to jump, when reinforcements arrived, also firing phasers. "MUAHA!" Heather shouted, "we've got them now!"

"I'm glad to see you guys!" Lisa shouted back to Heather and Josh.

They stayed in fought, relishing in the opportunity to kill the evil aliens who held some of their people even as the fought.

Everything was going well when the Queen appeared. All the aliens stopped and fell to their knees. "Hail, Queen Riley!" they chanted.

"Run! Get out of here!" Maggie shouted, panicked.

They all turned and tried to run away, but a force field had been erected all around them. They were trapped. Queen Riley cackled evilly, "you won't get away from me this time. I have you all right where I want you..."

The evil Queen Riley loomed up on Heather, Maggie, Josh, Lisa and Rachel. "You were as stupid as the others to think you could defeat me! Now you will join them!" he laughed.

"You are wrong!" Lisa shouted at him, "you destroy us and our friends will hunt you even more fiercley!" She drew her phaser again and started firing at the force field holding them. Following her lead the others began to fire at the field.

The field faltered and finally fell, and as soon as it was down the five friends ran. This time they didn't stop to fight, but they reached the opening of the mothership and jumped, even as Queen Riley bellowed in anger.

They all parachuted to safety, once reaching the ground moving for the pillow fort. They had not succeeded in rescuing their friends, Grace, Tiffany and Mari, but at least they knew the three of them were alive still.

Jordy was pacing in the common room when Josh and the others came in the door. "Where have you guys been? We've been worried. Why did you take so long?!"

"Oh, you know," Heather said sarcastically, "we wanted to stop and get something to eat, maybe go shopping..."

"Very funny, Heather. Hilarious, even."

Maggie giggled, "but seriously, Jordy, we had a little... ah, trouble, and got held up. Sorry to worry all of you."

"It's all right. Come on, the others are in the conference room. You can fill us in there."

They followed. Sitting around the table in the conference room was Sarah, Stacy, Ais and Dani. Jordy, Heather, Rachel, Maggie, Josh and Lisa sat down in some of the empty chairs. "Where's Adele and the others?" asked Josh.

"They'll be here later," Dani said, "for now, tell us what happened on that ship." They all sat back to hear the story...

"Wow," Ais commented after hearing the story. "The Queen. You actually saw Queen Riley? Is she as ugly as people say?"

"Worse, actually," Lisa answered. "And when he threatened us... " she shuddered.

"We need to worry about Mari, Grace and Tiffany for the moment, people," Josh said. "We know they're alive. But what's next?"

"Find out where they are," Rachel said, "and then move in and rescue them."

"Great plan," Sarah said sarcastically, "and what about guards or traps or anything like that?"

"Bring your Phaser's," Maggie cut in, "and be careful, watch where you're going. We have to move! The more time we take the more we risk losing them!"

Before anyone could respond the door opened and three people stepped inside...

"Hey guys," Fiona said. "What've we missed?" Adele and Paige also stepped inside the room.

"Sit down," Stacey said. "We're trying to figure out how we can find Grace, Tiffany and Mari."

Paige grinned, "We found them."

Jordy gaped, "Where? Not to mention how?"

"While the others were on the mothership," Adele explained, "the computers weren't guarded and we were able to hack in and get the information," she smiled proudly.

"Well, where are they?" Maggie asked impatiently.

Adeles smile faded, "well, that's the problem, isn't it?"

"They're in the mothership," Paige said, "right in the middle of the holding center."

Lisa groaned, "you mean we have to go back there?"

"Yeah, apparantly we do," Fiona said.

"And it won't be so easy this time," Heather added.

"Yeah," Rachel said sarcastically, "it was such a walk in the park the first time."

"Hey, no fighting, you guys," Josh cut in, "lets start planning a rescue mission."
