Small town girl and Penn State drop-out Bellona Reynolds never expected to be accepted into Starfleet Academy. Her mother was terrified of it, her father was constantly gone, and her older brother Janus wasn't accepted when he applied. When a letter comes one morning telling her about the things she needed to buy, Bellona didn't hesitate. She wanted to be a Lieutenant Commander on a Starship, hopefully finishing her medical career. She's always been the smartest of her family, the more motivated one, but what will 4 years at the Academy do to her when she runs into obstacles like heartache, confusion, and worst of all falling for somebody who is seemingly impossible to love her back? Will it break her or will she manage to pull through?
