Chapter 1

"WE WON!" Trance screamed, she waved the envelope in Harpers face, who looked confused.

"What….we won what? Huh?" Harper asked,

"We won, we won, we won, we won, we won, we won!" Trance sang as she jumped around the room excitedly,

"We won what?" Harper shouted, watching the purple girl bounce up and down.

"Oh I didn't tell you?" Trance stopped her jumping and faced him,

"No, you didn't, now please, tell me what we've- you've won."

"WE won a trip to Fhloshton Paradise, the most amazing holiday resort in the universe!"

"Hey! I think I saw that thing on the TV once."

"Yeah, doesn't it look…amazing….all the dancing… all the partying… all the relaxing!"

"All the babes…."Harper said

"Umm….yeah….whatever you say….I even heard they had a opera! I've always wanted to see a real opera." Trances face was lit up with excitement. Harper snatched one of the tickets from Trance and began to read it.

"Hey!" Trance snapped at him,

"Hang on a minute….FIRST CLASS!" Harper shouted,

"Yup…nothing beats first class rooms in Fhloshton Paradise in terms of luxury! Isn't this exciting?"

""You an me, sharing a first class room, with a big bouncy bed to play on all night long." Harper said with a smug smile on his face,

"In your dreams Harper…"

"You are every night." He smiled. Trance rolled her eyes,

"Besides ive got 4 tickets which means four rooms, which means I don't have to share a room with you…or a bed"

Just then Dylan walked in, followed by Beka.

"Trance…I believe you are going to Fhloshton Paradise?" Dylan asked,

"Umm yeah…why, how did you know?"

"Trance, Rommie hears your every word and reports most of them to me…"

"Every word?" Harper asked, in an extremely guilty fashion,

"Every word." Dylan nodded.
"Oh crap…..Umm Rom-Doll…anything I say to my pillow at night is strictly between you and me!" Harper said to the ceiling, Beka and Dylan gave out a chuckle.

"Yeah I have tickets to Floshton Paradise." Trance nodded,

"Well…as your captain, I suppose that I could let you go… on one condition." Dylan said, Trance frowned along with Harper.

"You let us come with you!" Beka interrupted Dylan. Trances face lit up once again with excitement,

"Yay! I was going to ask you anyway, this will be so exciting, we can all be one big happy family going on a vacation together!" Trance started to bounce up and down again, making Dylan, Harper and Beka laugh.

"It's settled then, well go pack our things and…" Dylan and Beka smiled as the left the room,

"R+R would do ya good cap' in." Beka gave Dylan a friendly punch on the arm.

"Hmmm…it would, but…I don't know. What about the universe? It seems like every single day im needed, weather its scrubbing Harpers feet or saving a civilization from a maggog invasion."

"Even Captain Terrific needs a rest once in a while." Beka smiled

" Yeah I suppose your right." Dylan shook his head.

"Alright then… lets go pack…and Dylan do me a favour don't wear any umm…high guard uniforms…and if you wear that white suit, ill kill you!"

"Ok mommy!"

"See you later my son." She smiled as she entered her quarters to pack.

Trance was folding up the last of her clothes and placing them into her suitcase; she put the last purple jump suit in and closed the case. She turned to Harper who was looking at Trances personal belongings, Trance snapped at him,

"Hey! What ya doin?" She shouted, feeling a little invaded,

"Oh…nothing, I was just umm ya know…" Harper nervously stuttered,

"Im keeping my eyes on you Seamus!" Trance narrowed her eyes and then stood up,

"Ive been thinking…" Trance said. "…What about the Andromeda? What about my plants?"

"Well Tyrs in charge of the Andromeda and as for your plants im sure Tyr will put on a piny and water 'em for ya!" Harper said, making them both laugh.

Beka and Dylan came running into the room, with smiles on their faces,

"Come on guys we haven't got much time, got to go say goodbye to Rommie and Tyr!" Beka shouted, sounding a little over excited,

"Ya know you sounded like Trance then?" Harper said to Beka,

"Nothing wrong with that!" Trance said in defence.

"Cuteness only really suits you Trance" Harper said with a cheeky smile on his face.

"What are ya trying to say Harper?" Beka asked angrily.

"Nothing its just …." Harper was about to comment on Beka's lack of cuteness when Dylan butted in.

"We haven't got time for this people! We can discuss how ugly Beka is on the ship .Lets go!" He ordered, clapping his hands, a smile on his face after seeing Beka's expression.

"Ok, ok…" Harper said before the four of them left the room.

"Bye Rom Doll, Bye big man!" Harper said, nodding to Rommie and Tyr who nodded back.

"Yeah, see you in a few weeks' time" Trance cried. After Dylan and Beka had said there goodbyes and the four had begun to leave the room, Dylan turned around.

"Oh and Tyr" he said "When I get back here, I want to find her in one piece".

"I assume you are referring to the Andromeda?" Tyr replied "Not a scratch".

"Not a scratch" Dylan nodded. He said while following Beka, Harper and Trance towards the Maru.

When Rommie was sure that the others were out of ear-shot, she turned to Tyr.

"Hey big man, Looks like it's just you and me" Rommie smiled at Tyr.

"Yes" Tyr said "I must say it's a wonder we managed to keep our relationship secret all this time" Tyr replied with an exited looking expression on his face.

"Well were all alone now" Rommie said smiling.

"Come here you little sex-pot!" Tyr said.

Rommie jumped on him.
