So this is different from my usual style of story and I've never written anything like this before. These are basically emails exchanged between Taz and Up in her final year of the Academy when Up gets sent off on a 6 month mission.
As always, I do not own Taz or Up in any way though I wish I did.
AN: Okay, here's the thing you can't cross shit out on here. So everything that isn't italics or bold is meant to be crossed out.
January 15th
Up,
When are you coming home I need to-
Dear Up,
You're coming home soon, right?
Hola, Up!
What's space like?
Up, I miss you..
Up! Get your ass home NOW!
Up,
Hope all is well.
Taz.
January 21th
Taz,
Not so big on words are you, little lady?
I'm good, will never get over how amazing it is up here.
Can't wait for you to join me, how's the academy?
Up.
January 28th
Up,
The academy is aburrido and is full of idiotas.
But I'm done in five months.
Wait for me.
Taz.
February 4th
Taz,
You should see it up here. I have never felt so peaceful.
Up.
February 10th
Up,
You're not going soft on me, are you?
Remember, you're on a mission.
Have you met any robotas yet?
Taz.
February 12th
Taz,
You keep forgetting this is a peaceful mission!
Just scouting the area, looking out for new planets that we can live on.
No robots here.
You'll be the first to know if there is.
Taz, I miss you.
Up.
February 27th
Taz? Are you there? Is everything alright?
Up.
March 1st
Up,
Everything is fine. Sorry it took so long to reply.
I've been spending time with Junior.
Taz.
March 3rd
Junior?
As in the head of the G.L.E.E's son?
As in the pothead?
Why?
March 14th
Up,
Yes. Yes. Because we're dating.
Don't call him a pothead, Up. He's not high all the time.
Taz.
March 17th
Taz,
You're dating somebody? The head's son? And you didn't think it was wise to tell me? How long has this been going on? Why him? Taz, he's no good for you.
Reply sooner!
Up.
March 29th
Up,
Sorry, things are just a little bit crazy around here. Must be brief, Junior's being whiny. We've been dating 2 months today. Don't tell me who or who isn't good for me, Up.
Taz.
April 1st
Taz,
I'm sorry, don't be angry, I know the academy can be challenging.
I'll see you in exactly 3 months.
Up.
April 20th
Taz, I know you're busy but reply to let me know you're okay!
April 30th
Taz?
May 1st
YOU WERE RIGHT, UP. OKAY?
YOU WERE RIGHT, I WAS WRONG.
HE WASN'T WHAT I THOUGHT.
SO YOU CAN JUST GO AHEAD AND SAY 'I TOLD YOU SO'.
May 2nd
Thank Dead-God, you're alive!
Taz, what's happened?
May 2nd
Junior cheated.
Only two months until I see you again.
I just need to get out of this place.
May 5th
WHEN I GET MY HANDS ON THAT LITTLE BASTARD HE IS GOING TO REGRET EVER BEING BORN.
May 10th
Be realistic, Up.
He's the head's son.
He's untouchable.
May 12th
I'm getting you off that planet as soon as humanely possible.
May 20th
That's if I pass my exams. I am literally drowning in revision notes.
If you hadn't had taught me calculus last year, I don't know where I'd be.
May 22nd
You'll do fine! I know you will. When's your first exam?
May 25th
You've just missed it, it was on the 21st. I've only got 3 more to go.
Up?
Kill me now.
May 27th
You'll do fine, Taz. I believe in you.
I can't wait to see you again, it's been too long.
(And the offer still stands about me ripping Junior to shreds?)
June 1st
One month today!
My exams are all over, classes have been let out.
I just need you to come home and take me out into space.
(No thanks, I don't want to get fired before I've even been up there.)
((I may have already knocked him out…))
(((Twice.)))
June 4th
How did they go?
I'm coming home real soon, Taz, I promise.
(That's my girl!)
June 10th
HURRY UP AND GET HERE, YOU BIG IDIOTA.
I'M BORED HERE.
June 12th
NOW.
June 15th
Calm down, I'm down in 15 days.
See you soon.
June 20th
I am literally going insane from boredom.
June 21st
I have so much free time.
June 21st
I can email as many times as I want.
June 21st
Though it is hard to get a computer that allows communications with the Starships.
June 21st
I FEEL LIKE I'M TALKING TO MYSELF HERE.
June 23rd
That's because you are! I actually have work to do here, I don't sit around my computer all day waiting for 18 year old girls to talk to me!
June 24th
Really? I had you down as a creepy old man from the moment I met you. My mistake!
June 26th
Hey! Who're you calling old? I'm only 6 years older than you are!
June 27th
Like I said, my mistake.
How close to Earth are you?
June 30th
I can see it. Almost home. I'll see you in less than 24 hours!
June 30th
There's already a crowd forming where you're gonna dock!
If you don't mind I'm going to wait in my room for you to come and visit me. Okay?
July 1st
Your Starship just docked.
I've missed you so much.
Right! I literally just spent ages going through the html thing (I am so shit at this) and making all the bits I needed crossed out, crossed out. I hope that works. Cause I'ma flip my shit if it doesn't. Anyways. Uhm. The crossed out bits (if it does work) are things that Taz didn't actually send, if that wasn't obvious... and yeah!
LOL YEP I FIGURED IT DIDN'T WORK. OKAY NEW PLAN WHICH I SHALL EXPLAIN AT THE TOP.
