Judy snuggled up against Don's chest. Don gently stroked her hair with one hand and rubbed her back with the other. He didn't pressure her into talking. He let her start talking to him when she was ready to do so. Judy continued to let Don comfort her and just spent a few minutes taking in all the love he wanted to give to her. She felt safe and secure in his embrace. She just wanted to stay there with him forever. Judy shivered and Don wrapped the blanket more snugly around her.

"Are you still cold Judy?" Don tightened his embrace as he asked his question.

"Just a little. I guess I'm more scared than anything."

"What are you still scared about my love? You're safe here in the ship."

Judy pulled up to look at Don again. She saw that his hazel eyes were full of his love for her. She smiled. "No Don, I'm safe here in your arms. I know you won't let anything happen to me." She leaned down and kissed him gently. He pulled her to him and deepened their kiss. Judy started kissing Don on his neck. Then she took his face in her hands and kissed his ear, his cheek, his eyelids, his nose and chin. When she found his lips, their kiss was hot and passionate. Don felt himself responding to her actions and found himself lusting for her. Judy was maneuvering his hands to untie the belt on her robe when he grabbed them and pushed her away from him. They were both breathing heavily and Judy's eyes showed her confusion. "Don…what's wrong?"

Don had a flashback to the nightmare he had earlier in the evening. He brought her forearm to his lips and gently kissed it as a guise to make sure she was his Judy. He took a deep breath. "You said you were going to tell me about your dream."

Judy heaved a heavy sigh. "I'd rather keep on with what we were doing." She laid her head back down on his chest. "But if you insist, I'll tell you about my dream."

She sighed again as she started. "Everything seemed to be ok when I first went to bed. I was upset by the idea that I was cloned, but I thought I had put it out of my mind. And I have to admit, I was a little…mad…at all of you for not figuring out that she wasn't me. I thought back over the conversation we had in the Galley after we got back, and I realized that if she was an exact duplicate of me, I could understand why. But it did still bother me, so I guess I was wrong."

"Judy, you know if…." She placed her fingers over his mouth to quiet him.

"Don, please let me tell you the whole story, otherwise I don't think I'll be able to get through it." Don kissed her on the forehead. "I'm listening…"

"I don't know how long I laid there before I fell asleep. I woke up in the cyclamen plant. I was groggy and confused, not knowing how I got there or even why I was there for that matter. I got up and started walking through the garden trying to find my way back to the Jupiter 2. There was a foggy mist in the air, and it was cold. I didn't have a coat with me so I was shivering. The cyclamen plants weren't making their usually harmonious sounds; it was more of a cacophony of jumbled notes. Almost like someone playing a piano that needed tuning. The sounds got louder and louder. It started hurting my ears. I put my hands over them and started running to get away from the sound, but the plants were everywhere. I couldn't get away from them. I ran for what seemed forever.

When I reached the path that we normally take to go to our favorite spot, I finally got my bearings. In the distance I heard what I thought was your voice, so I called out your name and started running towards it. When I got there, I stood frozen unable to move. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. You were there, lying in a large cyclamen flower…making love to…me. But it wasn't me, it was her. I started screaming for you to stop, but you didn't."

Judy started sobbing. Don couldn't find the words to comfort her, so he just held her tighter. Finally he found his voice. "Judy…you…don't have to go on."

She looked into his eyes. "I know…but I…I need to." Don nodded his head in understanding.

"I kept screaming at you and finally she looked at me. There was anger and hatred in her eyes. She gave me an evil smile and then I was grabbed by the cyclamen vines. They bound me tightly so that I couldn't move. I wanted to run away but I was trapped. They made me stand there and watch as you undressed her, kissed and caressed her. I closed my eyes so that I would not have to see as you enticed her with your hands, tongue and mouth. I started screaming and pleading with you to stop as the passion overtook both of you, but the cyclamen leaves formed a muzzle over my mouth. I just sobbed. You were doing with her everything I've ever wanted us to do."

Judy stopped when Don started wiping the tears from her face. She looked up at him and saw that he, too, had tears streaming down his face as well. He closed his eyes as she put her head back on her chest and she continued.

"When it was over, you turned and looked at me then you both started laughing. I saw that she had green veins running up her arms and legs. Just like a plant. When I took a closer look at your arms, they had the green veins as well. You were a plant! I realized that the plants duplicated you as well.

The plants loosened their grip on me and I managed to break free. I ran as fast as I could back to the ship. Mom and Dad were still sitting outside talking. They got up when I ran into camp and I threw myself into Dad's arms. I couldn't talk because I was crying so hard. They sat me down with them and just held me. When I could talk, Mom asked me why I was so upset. I told them what had happened, that you had been duplicated like me, and what I saw.

They both said that I must have been imaging things. Mom kept feeling my forehead like I had a fever. I told both of them I was fine and that they had to believe me. About that time, Will and Penny came out of the ship. I ran over to them and hugged both of them. I was glad to see they were safe. But there was something…strange about them. Their faces had these vacant stares. I looked back at Mom and Dad and their expressions had changed. Their eyes had no love in them; no feeling. They started laughing at me. I notice that Moms' red hair started turning green. Vines started growing along her arms. When I looked at Dad, leaves had formed where his fingers were and green veins were running down his face. They were plants too!

I ran over to Will and Penny. Penny had started turning into a cyclamen bloom and Will had vines sprouting out all over him. I ran past them into the ship and down to Dr. Smith's cabin. Lying on his bunk was a mass of vines and flowers. Everyone had been replaced by their plant duplicates! I ran out of the ship and down the path back to the cyclamen garden. Everyone's duplicates had migrated back to the garden. Your duplicates stood there as my duplicate, the Queen of the Cyclamen, told me that once I was safely back in my flower and in stasis, the plant duplicates would take the Jupiter 2 and return to Earth to over take it. When she was finished the plant duplicates started towards me to capture me. I started screaming and as I ran through the garden, all the cyclamen blooms opened up to show me my family, you and Dr. Smith in the plants. The duplicates almost caught up with me when I realized Dad and Mom were next to me trying to wake me up."

Judy dug her head into Don's chest and begged him to hold her tighter. Don obliged. They sat there for a few minutes in silence. Don still no idea what to say to her. Finally he spoke to her, very softly and quietly.

"Is that why you wanted to know whether or not I kissed her?"

"Yes. I know it was just a dream, but it seemed so realistic. I'm sorry Don."

"It's ok. You don't need to apologize to me. If anything, I should apologize to you."

"Me? What did you do that you need to apologize to me?" Judy looked up expectantly at Don, waiting for his answer.

"We…I…let you down Judy. I should have known it wasn't you. You would never have acted the way you did at dinner. But I thought you were mad at me, so I figured you were punishing me for banning Dr. Smith from camp." Don turned away from her, unable to face her. "I'm just so sorry. I should have known..." Tears were now running down his face. Judy reached up and turned him to face her, wiping the tears away.

"Don, don't. It's not your fault. It's nobody's fault. If I had not been so curious about the noises coming from the cyclamen garden, this would not have happened. Don't beat yourself up over it."

"Judy, you know I love you."

"Yes Don I do. I love you too."

"I'll make it up to you Judy, I promise."

"I'm the one who needs to be making up to you. After all, I haven't thanked you yet for helping Dad rescue me." Judy proceeded to kiss Don's ear and neck, to which he promptly reciprocated.

When John and Maureen woke later that morning, they noticed that Don's cabin door was still open. As they went up on deck, they noticed the young lovers sound asleep in Don's pilot chair. Judy was curled up in his lap.

John walked over and tapped Don on the shoulder, which startled him. Luckily, Don was still holding Judy otherwise she would have fallen onto the floor. Once awake, Don and Judy proceeded back to their cabins to shower and get ready for the day.

At breakfast, everyone looked tired and acutely aware of their surroundings. Don and John decided they would go to the cyclamen garden to make sure all the plants were dead. To everyone's surprise, Judy demanded to go with them.
