"Hello."
"Hello" Kate said back. They quickly scrambled back up.
"Is everything ok, Mr Lister?" Krytens voice heard from the other side of the override door.
"Yeah we're fine Kryten, what happened?"
"Holly just shut down sir. They could be a black out for a while."
"Nice one Hol" Lister said to himself.
"Is there anyway out any manual override for the doors in here?"
"No there's there all powered by Hol." He shrugged and sat on the floor. She did the same next to him.
"Hang on a second, always come prepared." He said reaching for a hot cupboard full of vindaloo.
"We can't let it go cold." He pulled in a cupboard underneath the microwave of the deck. It was there for food emergencies and Lister thought it was. He pulled out eight cans of JMC super strength lager.
"You smegging star." She said as she dug into the foil container and pulled the ring pull of a can.
"Oh wait hang on parties not over yet." He pulled out some naan bread and onion bajis. She smiled.
"You didn't do this on purpose did you?"
"What?"
"Tell Hol to shut down the ship and cause a black out?"
"Of course not, that's just stupid and dangerous."
After probably there fourth can of lager each and second vindaloo there speech started to slur.
"I never asked anyway how did Ace find you?"
"Well I was on my own hurtling through space with a Holly a male Holly who thought after about 3 million years he'd revive me and he did. I was just salvaging ships on my own and ace found me on a planet. He obviously tried it on and then brought me safely to the nearest crew, you guys."
"What and you weren't impressed, by Ace?"
"Not really I'm not into men that have highlights." She said smiling. He laughed too.
"You're nothing like Kris are you?"
"Not really. She got the looks I got the brains."
"Yeah right." He said.
"What?"
"You're just as good looking as Kris if not better looking."
"Thanks but I doubt that."
"You're I tell the truth after….How many cans have I had?"
"About sixxx" Her speech slurred.
"After sixxx cans" His speech slurred also. She giggled and he looked into her deep blue eyes. He leant forward and kissed her.
"Kryten what are you gibbering on about?" Rimmer said.
"Miss Kochanski and Mr Lister there in the hold bay with no light and they can't get out until Holly reboots herself."
"Jammy git" Rimmer said rolling his eyes.
"What do you mean? You don't think?" Kris asked Rimmer.
"Of course not officer Bud Babe, I'm sure when Lister has the chance to get with a babe like Kate in the pitch black he won't."
"He wouldn't be interested in her." She said.
"I'm sure he won't mam. Why would he be she's only a beautiful young woman with all those iny and outy bits he likes."
"Shut it rubber head."
"Hey that insult works in more ways than one." The cat said smiling at his intelligent comment. Well intelligent for him.
