Hello! This story I have been writing for a while and publishing over on my blog, but I thought that some of you guys might like to read it! I'll be updating this pretty much daily so I hope you enjoy it!

(I don't own Starship)

"Taz."

"Taz."

"TAZ!"

"AY!" She screamed and jumped up, grabbing her gun where she'd dropped it beside the bed the previous night, jamming it into her attackers face.

"Woah! Easy Taz, it's just me!" Up scrambled onto the other side of the bed holding his hands up in surrender. Taz lowered the gun, then rubbed her eyes.

"Mierda! Get out of my bed Up!" She grabbed the blanket, then shrieked as his naked body was exposed. She flung the blanket back at him, keeping a good hold on her side and sitting straight up facing the far wall, eyes closed and taking deep breaths. Up sat silently, watching her calming down, knowing that if he spoke/moved/drew breath she would probably shoot on sight. Finally she regained enough composure to open her eyes and turn to him, but Up, knowing Taz's unstable nature, was far from reassured.

"I told you to leave last night."

"I fell asleep after we-"

"Shh!" She looked horrified. "Keep your mouth shut Up! It was a mistake, entender? You have to leave." She shoved him and although she was half his size he fell to the floor, taking the blanket with him. She screamed again and tried to snatch it back, but he held on tightly, smiling a little as she gave a snarl of anger and started fishing around on the floor for something to cover herself up with.

"Taz?" Up and Taz froze as a voice called through the door. Taz gestured violently that Up should stay silent or her gun would again be in his face.

"Tazzy are you in there?" February called out again. "Only I'm lost again."

"Si, I'm here," Taz rolled her eyes and continued pulling on her trousers and tank top and tying her bandana tightly around her head.

"Can I come in? Bug sent me to find Commander Up because we've nearly arrived at Earth, only I got lost and now I can't find my schience lab. Have you seen him?"

Taz sent a panicked look at Up before calling out. "Sorry amigo, I haven't seen him, but if you carry on along the corridor you will find the canteen, Karyonder or Specs will probably be in there."

"Okay, great! Thanks girlfriend! If you see Up tell him my Buggy is looking for him, yeah?"

"Si, si I will." She heard February's footsteps disappear off down the corridor (the wrong way she noted dimly) then fell back onto the bed, rolled over and looked down at Up, still sat on the floor, now miraculously half dressed.

"You have to leave," she said quietly, her eyes roaming his still-bare chest as he felt around for his abandoned shirt.

"What if I don't want to?" He knelt and shuffled to the bed, his face inches from hers.

"Then I will have to shoot you," she replied, but didn't move away. They stared at each other for a few seconds before Up closed the distance between them, cupping her face in his hands and kissing her. She hesitated at first, but he persisted and she allowed him to climb back onto the bed, never breaking the kiss, and wrap his arms around her. He began trailing kisses down her neck and collarbone and she lay back allowing him to continue kissing down her right arm. It was only when he started to lift her shirt that she pulled away and he looked up with questioning eyes.

"You need to stop." He sat up and gave her a searching look. She slid out from underneath him and swung her legs off the bed and dropping her head onto her hands. Up stared at her then tried to gather her in his arms, but she pulled away and grabbed his shirt from the floor and threw it at him.

"Get out."

"But Taz-"

"Go."

He looked at her sadly, but she turned away and started collecting the blankets that lay strewn about the room. He sighed then left the room to retrieve February from whichever vent she'd managed to get stuck in this time.
