"Man, that was weird." Harper said walking towards the Maru with Beka, Dylan and Tyr.
"Tell me about it. Who knew we could tick them off by talking business at dinner? I mean, isn't that what we were there for?" Beka mused.
"Supposedly. We probably should have read up on their customs before rushing over here though. I just hope they'll get over it eventually. I'm just wondering what that whole curse thing they said they put on us was." Dylan scratched the back of his head. He normally didn't believe in curses......but given the past year, he was beginning to doubt there was no such thing as curses.
"It's just something they made up to put us off balance. There are no such thing as curses." Tyr determined.
"Well, I for one, am worried. As the rest of you should be! 'You are now cursed, you will be linked together in mind and body'." Harper mimicked, pushing his eyebrows together and poking out his lips to look like the Rustarian leader.
"Harper, quit that! Didn't your parents ever tell you if you make funny faces your face will freeze?" Beka said, laughing. "Besides, even if it was a real curse, which it's not, what could happen? I mean, being linked in 'mind and body'? Come on, what's that gonna do to us?"
"I suggest we just forget all about it. We'll contact the Rustarians in a few days, to see if they've forgiven us yet. Now, let's get back to the Andromeda." Dylan walked up the Maru ramp.
*~*~*~*
Harper woke up feeling miserable. Well, miserable was an understatement. He felt REALLY bad. He had stomach cramps, a headache, backache, and he felt like crawling off and dying somewhere.
'Must have picked up a bug on that planet. Better go to Med Bay and get it taken care of.' Harper thought. He slowly made his way to the Medical Bay, holding his stomach.
Halfway there he bumped into Tyr, also heading to Med Bay.
"What's wrong with you boy?" Tyr asked.
As Harper looked, he noticed Tyr moving a little slower too. Hah, take THAT Neitzschean immune system!
"Dunno. Gonna see Trance and let her figure it out. Probably picked something up from that planet." He said, opening the Medical Bay door. He was faced with the image of Dylan laying on one of the beds, with Trance running the scanner over him.
"You got it too?" Harper asked.
"Headache, backache, stomach ache? Oh yeah." Dylan replied.
Trance turned the scanner off, and faced the three men. "Your all feeling the same symptoms?"
Harper turned to look at Tyr, who sighed.
"Yes. We are." Tyr admitted.
"Andromeda, could you ask Beka to report to Med Bay?" Trance asked.
"She'll be here in a minute." Andromeda's holo popped up.
"Do you know what's wrong with us?" Harper looked at Trance.
"No. That's why I'm going to see if Beka has the same symptoms."
At that moment, the door slid open and Beka walked in. "What's up guys?"
"Beka are you feeling alright?" Trance said, picking up the scanner and walking toward Beka.
"Yeah, chipper. Why?" She said, looking at Dylan, then Harper, who was still holding his stomach, and finally at Tyr.
"No backache? Headache? Stomach doesn't hurt?"
"Umm, no." Beka turned a bright shade of red.
"Your sure?"
Beka pulled Trance into Andromeda's hallway, away from the three men.
"Trance, I am feeling those symptoms, but.....they're.....natural. Know what I mean?" Beka said.
"Oh......yeah." Trance thought for a minute. "What about that curse? Could this be it?"
"What, you mean them feeling everything I'm feeling? Linked in mind and body.......oh boy." Beka turned and started wacking her head against the wall. "This *wack* cannot *wack* be *wack* happening! *WACK* Ow......now my head hurts worst." Beka rubbed her forehead.
"Beka stop wacking your head against the wall. Think for a minute. Did they say anything about reversing the curse?"
"No. Nothing. They said we're going to suffer for a while until we learn some manners."
"Oh." This was going to be bad. Men were wimps when it came to these things. Trance thought about putting them all to sleep for 7 days. Then again, they wouldn't complain about Beka feeling bad anymore if THEY go through it.
"So what're you gonna do?" Beka asked.
"We're going to just.....go with the flow." Trance giggled at the pun.
"Flow...yeah....okay.." Beka said, and started giggling after a few minutes of tryin to keep a straight face.
They both walked back into the Med Bay.
"So......what was that all about?" Harper said, now lying down on one of the other beds.
"Have you figured out what's wrong with us?" Tyr spoke up.
"Um...yeah..it's the curse." Beka mumbled.
"So, if it's the curse, why are we having these symtoms and you're not?" Dylan sat up on the bed.
"It'sagirlthingandIamhavingthesymptoms."
"A.....girl thing...you mean........WE'RE HAVING PERIODS?!" Harper yelled.
"Not really, you're just having the pains. You don't have the actual organs to have them." Trance said, smiling slightly.
"Don't worry, it'll be over in about 7 days." Beka throwed over her shoulder while walking out.
"Oh god help us." Dylan flopped back onto the bed.
TBC!
