»OK folks, I've got an idea, how we should spend some days off." exclaimed Harper and all other suspiciously looked at him. "Hey, don't look at me as if I were an idiot!" He became just a little bit angry. "Why don't you first hear what I have to say and then try to kill me."
Dylan looked at him with a certain amount of disbelief in his eyes and said: "Well, Mister Harper, if you believe, your idea might be interesting, then why don't you tell it to us."
"Well, thank you, Dylan," sarcastically commented Harper. "Yeah, I think, that this idea might be interesting for all of you." He expectantly looked around. "Well, almost all," he added as he saw Tyr's dark look. "So, I suggest, that we all go down to Alterus. It's wintertime on the northern hemisphere and we could go snowboarding. Or, if someone perhaps prefers, skiing. Well, what do you say?"
A moment of silence passed before they all really understood his words. After a second, Beka looked at Tyr. "He's right, you know! I've always wanted to try it, but never got a chance to really do it. Seamus Harper, this time I like your idea. Exceptionally!"
Harper looked satisfied, that his boss accepted the idea.
Tyr was, surprise, surprise, not a bit satisfied. "It's idiotic and against my rules. Why should I voluntarily do something, what could, in fact, jeopardize my health and welfare? And, please, tell me, why should I do it?"
"'Cause it's fun, that's why! And you certainly need some recreation different from jogging up and down Andromeda." answered Harper readily.
Rommie just opened her mouth to protest against such statement, but Harper saw it on time, so continued quickly: "Nothing against such jogging, Rommie. I just think, it would do us all good, if we could spend some days in the open air, on snow, with no duties what so ever. And as for you, Rommie, I am prepared to be your personal trainer. You'll see, no one else will be able to compete with you after we finish our course."
"Thank you very much, Harper, but I think I'll pass on it. It's sweet from you to offer me a personal course, however, I prefer to make first steps of some new activities in privacy. After all, I do learn fast, remember? You programmed me, so you should know, I don't need more than few hours to learn something new. Besides, I don't know, .... someone should stay on Andromeda. We can't leave her alone, so I think, I'll better stay here."
Main AI appeared on the screen: "If you want, you can all leave. I'll be perfectly OK alone."
"It shouldn't be a problem if we all go," confirmed Dylan and added, looking at Rommie, "And, Harper's right, we really should spend some days off, together. You are coming with us, that's out of question. And so is everyone else, including Tyr. As your concerns, Tyr, I think that it should be useful if you learn something new. It will undoubtly improve your capabilities, you'll learn new moves, your balance will be tested and improved and you'll experience many other positive influences. Therefore I strongly suggest you, to come with."
Tyr angrily looked at Dylan. He thought: "Man, how I hate when he's right," but said something completely different: "Are this your orders, Captain?"
Dylan nodded, so Tyr unwillingly accepted it and said: "In this case, I'll go with you."
Beka smiled in her fist and thought: "You have absolutely no idea what's awaiting you down there. Just wait till I get you in my hands!" Loudly she said: "Well then, it looks as if we were all in."
"Hey, what about me?" said Trance and all surprised looked at her.
"What should be about you?" asked Beka.
"I don't like snow. It's cold and it gets under your clothes and makes you wet. Can we not try snowboarding without snow?"
Harper tried to explain to her: "Look, Trance, the whole thing about snowboarding is that there *has* to be snow. Otherwise it wouldn't be named snow-boarding. So, it's quite simple: you'll put on the warmest clothes, skiing cap, goggles, scarf and all what you can to protect you from cold and getting snow behind your clothes, OK?"
Trance didn't look quite satisfied with this answer and just slightly nodded.
"Well, which means, we're all in it. I suggest we deaprt tomorrow at seven. Rommie, you should contact some hotel and find us free rooms," concluded Dylan. Rommie nodded and asked: "How many rooms should I try to get? Separate for each one or can we share rooms?" She expectantly looked at Dylan, hoping he'd say what she wanted to hear. Dylan looked at her and got a bit scared of what he saw, so he answered: "I'd prefer single rooms. If it is possible. Otherwise, we'll think something out. But we do need at least three double rooms."
Rommie wasn't exactly happy with this decision and looked in Beka's direction, just to see, that she wasn't either. She decided in this moment, to slightly disobey Dylan's orders and arrange rooms otherwise. Looking back at Dylan she said: "I'll se what I can do."
Everyone but Rommie and Beka left the bridge. Beka looked at Rommie and said: "You want to be with him in the room, right?"
"And you want to be with Tyr, if I am not understanding your looks wrong," asked Rommie back.
"See, Rommie, it has no use to pretend. We both know it. You want Dylan and I want Tyr. So, what shall we do about it?"
"I just might have an idea," secretly smiled Rommie.
