"Mr. Hinrichsen!" Shouted Mr. Sun. A man who was mixture of a bear and a cat, he was in the middle of his thirties, he wore black pants, a white shirt and a black tie. 18 years old Kim Hinrichsen, sat at the window, and as always, he felt into reveries. He was always daydreaming of to get on another adventure, to get out and explore the world. "Mr. Hinrichsen! Have you even been listing to me?" the teacher asked.

Kim looked around and saw that the whole class was looking at him. "No sir. I guess I kind of felt asleep." He finally spoke.

"I will not tolerate this, Mr. Hinrichsen! You will get a week detention. Plus you'll get four extra homework assignments, and I want it all to be done for Thursday." Mr. Sun turned his back at the boy, whose jaw was hanging down.

"But, then I only have two days, to make them!" he shouted.

"I guess you have Mr. Hinrichsen, and then I guess you should get started." The teacher gave a smirk, as he continued his math class. The girls in his class, was giggling, while some others was laughing, giving high five after they had whispered some jokes, about Kim.

"Loser." One boy said. Kim glared at him.

Finally when the day was over, and when Kim was done with his detention, he ran into another boy. This made him loose all his books. He looked up from the ground, and saw immediately who it was.

"Leland." He said with a glare and raised himself up again.

"Kim." Leland said in the same stone tone.

"So, how has your vacation been?"

"Not bad, yours?"

"Not bad."

Both teens went silence. Leland and Kim were once the best friends, but it all changed in one day. It was the first year on the Interstellar Academy. Kim had some problems at home, and Leland had always been the one to keep a secret, the one he could trust. But one day, it just all turned into a nightmare. The boy had just out of sudden, getting friends with some of the more smart ones, and had totally forgot his friend Kim. And then Leland had told his 'friends' all their secrets together. Since then they haven't spoken to each other.

Of course had Leland felt a bit bad about it, but every time he wanted to apologize Kim just had turned his back on him.

"Kim ya know about wha-"

"I don't wanna hear it, pal. You have already chose sides." And with those words, Kim left Leland again.

Leland sighed. There was absolutely no way, he could get through that boy… and Leland had even something he really wanted to tell his old friends. Since he was the only one he really ever could trust.

"What!?" shouted Kim suddenly. He was on the phone in the middle of the hallway. Kim was talking to his girlfriend, who called him from the planet named Earth. She was 16 years old. "Are you serious?" He then said in a lower tone.

"Yes I'am." The girl said in the phone.

"How far are you?" Kim asked, not knowing how he should take it.

"Almost 2 month."

Kim was shocked; he didn't know how to handle this. He was going to be a father, for cry out loud! Kim meant they were too young… but as he kept talking with his girlfriend, they agreed about, that it was her choice, since it was her body. And he promised that he would be there for her, no matter what her choice was. She then told him that she already had chosen.

As the night came, Kim was lying sleepless in his bed. His two roommates, Cale and Tommy was already a sleep. He didn't tell them that he was going to be a dad. He actually didn't want that anyone should know.

But that hurriedly turned around. Kim had falling asleep once again in Mr. Sun's class. Which he never should had done. Cause then the teacher began to talk about how irresponsible, not just about the school, but also about that he had done a girl pregnant. Every student in the class was looking shocked at him.

Great. This gonna be turned into a nightmare. He thought. Kim knew that just in a few minutes, will everyone in the school know, that he had done a girl or women pregnant.

And he was right. At the lunch time in the canteen, was everyone looking at him. There was no one who spoke, only some girls who whispered to each other.

"So, how old is your girlfriend?" An alien boy asked.

"Is she 26 years old?" Another one asked.

"Or are you just a pervert who **** younger girls?" Some other girls said.

"I bet he raped her."

And so the comment goes on.

Kim felt his anger bubble inside him. Why couldn't they just mind their own business? Good he almost had finished school.

"Or was it her, who rape you? I will bet she is a girl **** with every kind of man she can get."

That was too much! Kim did almost attack that boy. His name was Arnold Dassel. The worst bully in the whole school. He just knew how to poke on the rights buttons, to piss people off.

But before Kim could even hit Arnold, he got held back of Leland.

"Kim stop!"

"Let go! I'll tear him apart!" Kim shouted as he tried to get free of Leland's grip.

"I'm going to be a dad too!"

Everyone went silence. No more laughing, no more comments, just every student in the canteen looked straight at Leland. Even Kim had relaxed and had totally forgotten everything about Arnold. He was in shock.

"I wanted to tell you about it today. So now you all know! It's not only him who's going to be a father I'am too. With a beautiful girl who I love so much." There came no sound from anybody. "So if you wanna make fun of my friend, then you can make fun of me too. Come on Kim. We got a lot to talk about." And then the two teens left the canteen. No one was talking; they just starred at the door.

Later went Kim into Leland's room. They talked about everything.

"So how far is your girlfriend?" Kim asked Leland while he sat on a chair. The chair was turning backwards, and Kim rested his arms on the chairs leaning.

"Well actually she's my fiancée. I think it's was about a little bit over then a month, or something like that. Yours?"

"Wow, mine was about two month. Which means that they might give birth on the same time? Wait! She's your fiancée?" Kim got more and more shocked.

"It seems so and yes she is. I want to spend my whole life with her." Leland smiled. Kim had never seen him smile, that big before.

"Do you know what it's going to be?"

"Well Sarah told me, that she had been to the doctor, and that it was a boy. A healthy little boy." This made Leland smile even more. "Do you know?"

"No… Maria wants it to be a surprise, so we made a deal. If it does gonna be a girl, she can choose a name, and if it's a boy I can choose."

"Well do you have any ideas then?"

"I prefer John, you?"

Leland thought about it for some minutes. "Well to be honest, we don't know yet. The only thing we know is that his last name is going to be Hawkins, since she's taking my name."

They talked something that seemed like forever. Leland even said sorry for what had happen some years before, and of course Kim forgave him. Since he did stand up for him. They then agreed to stick together until to graduate. Because from that day, they were going on each separated places. And on each ship, hopefully both being captains. It would be a hard time, but both knew that, that was the way it was.


So here is a short story, about Leland (jim's father) and Kim (Jessica's father). yes they were once great friends. I just thought it could be fun, if the fathers once knew each other. And as you can see, so were Leland and Kim once best friends, but something changes that, but just soon as they had something in common, Leland realise that he have to stand up for his friends.

Can you see some similarities? Jessica might have some of her daydreaming from her dad, huh? ;) Now (if you have read my story: The Treasure Of Love) you can see why Mr. Sun hate Jessica so much.

Anyway, hope you like it :)

P.S Sarah and Maria didn't know that their boyfriends knew each other
