Sarah/Becker, Abby/Connor

CLUELESS

Abby leaned back, watching Sarah. The woman was working on the strange device, trying to figure out whatever she could.

"How's it going?" she asked.

Sarah turned to face her.

"Not very well. I just don't know what to do with it," she said with a sigh, sitting back.

Abby smiled, "Well, why don't you take a break? You look like you need it."

Walking down the halls, the conversation soon turned away from work.

"So, what do you actually do outside of work?" Abby asked.

"Nothing. I don't really have a social life anymore," Sarah said with a shake of her head and a sigh.

Abby grinned, "How about a lovelife?"

Sarah laughed, "Oh no, there's no one."

"You sure about that?"

"What are you talking about?"

Abby stopped outside one of the rooms they were passing as they walked, and gestured inside. Sarah looked and saw Connor and Becker talking to each other. They didn't notice the girls watching them.

"What?"

Abby shook her head in mock frustration, "Come on, Sarah. I know. I'm not stupid."

Sarah rolled her eyes, her gaze fixed on the captain.

"As if anything would happen. He's completely clueless."

"Like most men," Abby chuckled.

"What're you doing?" Becker asked, coming into the room and seeing Connor. The young man turned around.

"Nothing much. Just bored."

The captain nodded, and sat down. After a moment's silence, the pair started talking. Before they knew it, they'd gone from anomalies to Helen to women in general.

"Anyone special?" Connor smirked.

The captain rolled his eyes, "Just because you have a thing for Abby..."

"Come on, there must be someone. Someone with your good looks doesn't go unnoticed," Connor laughed.

"Thanks for the compliment."

"You're avoiding the question."

Becker sighed, "It's not like she even likes me. I mean, she's completely clueless."

"Ah. Sarah."

"How did you know?"

"It's only slightly obvious," Connor replied.

"Well, like I said, it's not like it matters."

Connor's gaze focused on something over Becker's shoulder. The captain turned to see Abby and Sarah standing in the doorway, looking at them. Sarah blushed, then the two quickly ran, their laughter echoing down the halls.

"I wouldn't be so sure," Connor said.
