If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure, and then
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with

Lt Commander Kevin Thomas Riley would never forget Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard-Carey nee Lowell and when he first met her on board the USS Republic in 2273, on her way to Star Base 12 from Post World War Three Planet Earth.
Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell was only 17 years old and Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley at the time was only 21 years old.
They became good friends on board the USS Republic spending time in the garden, eating their meals together in the mess hall, and time talking about their loss of their families.
It was Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley told Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell about the aristocracy on Star Base 12 and how they first settled on Star Base 12 in 2159 four and half years after World War III had ended.
On June 30, 2274, The USS Republic orbited around Star Base 12 and they were the last two to be transported down to Star Base 12 and waiting at the transport landing were Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR, Duke of Norfolk Territory, his first cousin twice removed, Lord Richard William Carey , Duke of Bedford Territory and his youngest son, Lord Andrew Charles Howard waiting to greet the new arrivals to Star Base 12.
Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley escorts Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell and they walk up to where Lord Charles Andrew Howard, Duke of Norfolk Territory and Lord Richard William Carey, Duke of Bedford Territory and Lord Andrew Charles Howard are standing and Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley bows and Karissa Elizabeth Ann gives a curtsy and it is Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR helps her to rise to her feet and Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley introduces Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell to Lord Charles Andrew Howard Jr, Lord Richard William Carey, but it is Lord Charles Andrew Howard JR who introduces his son to Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell.
Karissa has been warned by Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley that neither are married and they are looking for a bride and she starts to laugh "What aren't the women on Star Base 12 good enough for them." Karissa asks.
"Both are really picky." Lt Kevin Thomas Riley tells Karissa.
"Picky won't get your married." Karissa tells Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley.
"They look about 24 years old and unless they want to die bachelors. I recommend that they find their brides and marry." Karissa tells Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley.
Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley and Lord Richard William Carey are good friends, but Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley is no fan of Lord Andrew Charles Howard and he asks Lord Richard William Carey to escort Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell to Madame's Boarding House that is out in Bedford Territory and Lord Richard William Carey is Duke of Bedford Territory on Star Base 12.
Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley takes his internship on board The USS Enterprise and he doesn't return until 2278, and by then Karissa Elizabeth Ann Lowell had married Lord Andrew Charles Howard and they are Duke and Duchess of Norfolk Territory and Karissa is Lady Karissa and she is Marchioness of Pembroke Territory and she has two children, Lady Elizabeth Victoria Ann Beltane, and Lady Samhain Wilhelmina Charlene, Duchess of Clarence Territory.
Lt. Kevin Thomas Riley is promoted to the rank of Lt. Commander in Star Fleet and he marries Lady Isabella Naomi Collins and in July of 2280, Lady Isabella gives birth to their son, Lord Kevin Thomas Riley II and he grows up with Lord Anthony Christopher Howard, the oldest son but third child of Lord Andrew Charles Howard and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard who was born in June of 2280.
23 months later, Lady Karissa gives birth to Lord Richard William Carey's first child and daughter but her fourth child and third daughter, Lady Caroline Matilda Carey on Lord Richard William Carey's 32nd birthday.
Through Lord Anthony Christopher Howard, Lady Caroline Matilda's half brother and third cousin once removed, she meets Lord Kevin Thomas Riley II in 2300 and they marry in 2302 and in 2305 she gives birth to Lady Isabella Karissa Carey and at the same time Lord Anthony Christopher Howard wife, Lady Alexandrina Charlene gives birth to Lord Andrew Charles II, Lady Elizabeth gives birth to Lady Susanne Virginia Howard and Lady Samhain gives birth to Lady Katherine Eliza Beck.
Through Lady Elizabeth and Lord Richard Edward Howard daughter, Lady Karissa Ann who marries Lord Frederick William Howard III's youngest son, Lord Frederick William Howard IV they have Lady Victoria Elizabeth Howard who marries Lord Andrew Charles Howard III, who is Lord Anthony Christopher Howard grandson, and in 2310, Lady Caroline Matilda gives birth to Lord Kevin Thomas Riley III who is the grandfather of Lord Kevin Thomas Riley V who marries the Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann who is the great-great-granddaughter of Lord Andrew Charles Howard and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard-Carey, and through Lady Karissa they are both are her great-great-grandchildren and they are third half cousins.
Lady Karissa, Lord Richard William Carey, Lord Andrew Charles Howard, and Lt. Commander Kevin Thomas Riley are all alive to see the birth to Lady Isabella Karissa Carey, Lord Kevin Thomas Riley II and Lady Karen Elizabeth Riley, and they are alive when Lord Andrew Charles Howard III, Lady Victoria Elizabeth Howard are born.
Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard-Carey nee Lowell is the first to pass away in June of 2330, shortly after her 80th birthday, and three months later, Lord Andrew Charles Howard passes away, and one year later Lord Richard William Carey and Lt. Commander Kevin Thomas Riley passes away.
Lady Karissa leaves a some pictures in her Hope Chest of Lt. Commander Kevin Thomas Riley, Lt. Commander Philip Williams, and her taken out at Pembroke Territory and they are discovered by Lady Caroline Matilda and Lord Kevin Thomas Riley II in her Hope Chest out at Beltane Manor.
Lady Caroline Matilda shows the pictures to Lady Elizabeth, Lady Samhain, Lord Anthony Christopher, Lord Albert Edward, Lord Benjamin Lawrence Carey, her brother, Lad Sophia Dorothea,and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard, and they all gather around and in back on the one of the pictures is the lyrics "Time In A Bottle"
If I could save time in a bottle
The first thing that I'd like to do
Is to save every day 'til eternity passes away
Just to spend them with you
If I could make days last forever
If words could make wishes come true
I'd save every day like a treasure, and then
Again, I would spend them with you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with
If I had a box just for wishes
And dreams that had never come true
The box would be empty
Except for the memory of how they were answered by you
But there never seems to be enough time
To do the things you want to do once you find them
I've looked around enough to know
That you're the one I want to go through time with
The picture shows Karissa, Kevin and Richard sitting around the piano out at Pembroke Castle.
Lady Caroline Matilda and Lord Kevin Thomas Riley II know that their mother and father never stopped loving each other throughout all of their lives.
Both Lt. Commander Kevin Thomas Riley and Lady Karissa Elizabeth Ann Howard-Carey nee Lowell live through the great-great-grandchildren, Lady Karissa Elizabeth Howard and Lt. Commander Kevin Thomas Riley and their children, Lord Andrew Charles Howard II and Lord Kevin Thomas Riley III who are the grandfathers of Lady Karissa Elizabeth Howard ans Lord Kevin Thomas Riley V.
