A/N: Had enough Goddard? I love the man, but I need to give him a rest. Yeah. So, yeah. And no surprises here; I'm a Catalina/Harlan shipper.

There he was, the perfect man, and here I was, a dimension away. I really hated Suzee sometimes. I knew she was a bit of a flirt; after all, she's my best friend, how could I miss it? But why, oh why, did she have to go after the man of my dreams?
Not that I usually dream. I still don't, not really, but when I do, she's always with him in my nightmares.
Why couldn't she go steal Bova from Rosie or something?
Okay, that was selfish, but can you really blame me?
"Suzee!" I snapped at my friend when she was getting very, very, dangerously flirtacious with Harlan.
"Catalina!" she answered as if she had forgotten I was there. "So, how was the thing you were working on?"
I sighed and rolled my eyes. Suzee was smart, I guess, but she was definitely a horrible liar.
"That's great, but don't you think you should double check it?" she said, despite the silence. Like Harlan'd ever know. I don't think she really is looking for a way to get home anymore.
"Hearing voices, Suzee?"
She blushed, but it's not like Harlan was paying attention, much to my pleasure. He started asking Suzee how much longer before I'd get home, and she rattled off principles and theories that went over his head.
That's when it hit me. I'm a genius. I really am. Why didn't I think of this sooner?!
"Suzee, blow up the ship!"
"Not a choice, Catalina!"
"No! Not the whole ship, just part of it! It'll take engineering offline, but cause an explosion in the secondary engines!"
"That's dangerous, Catalina!" Suzee yelled, leaving Harlan confused. Suzee looked at him and told him, "Catalina wants to blow up the ship."
"The secondary engines," I corrected.
Suzee rolled her eyes as she repeated this to Harlan. Harlan got that same cute look in his eyes when he discovers something new. Okay, I said Suzee said it was cute, but really, it was me, I was just playing hard to get. Never again will I be that stupid.
"Why not? You could figure it out, right Suzee?"
Before I knew it, Suzee was agreeing to do this, so long as we didn't tell anyone else. No need for them to stop us.
Harlan insisted on being in the engine room with me when the engines blew. I don't know why, but I didn't argue, and neither did Suzee.
Suzee kept saying things, but then she said, "It's going to blow!"
And it did. Leave it to Suzee to screw that up. Harlan was almost killed, but using my great intellect, I pulled Harlan into Yensid with me. Okay, so Suzee's dead. I really miss her, but gah, I hate her sometimes! And I've finally got Harlan Band all to myself...
