I'm sooo bored! Apparently, after every mission that lasts more than two hours, the boys don't wanna do anything fun. Normally, I would go to the Arcade Galaxy or the Comet Lounge, but the Arcade is under game installation and the Lounge is under inspection. So, I'm on my laptop discovering the city of Shiloh. I didn't know my last name was also the name of city in bible until someone mentioned it one day.
How come stuff in the bible is always the hardest stuff to find? I mean, lately when it's been possible, I've tried finding the crucifiction of Simon Peter after I heard that he died upside down. Still haven't found it, which irritates me something fierce!
I walk into the hall and away from my laptop to unwind my mind. I close my eyes and…..did someone just tap my shoulder? I slowly turn around, thinking it's Kevin or Fidgel. I open my eyes, it's not them.
"Dally!" I squeal in delight as I squeeze Dallas. In return, I'm greeted with the soft touch of angel wings because I'm sorta trapping his arms. "It's nice to see you too Ester. Whatcha up to?"
"Researching the biblical city of Shiloh."
"That's cool."
"Are you being serious?"
"Yes, of course. Uhh...Ester?" I see Dallas' face turn from confident to nervous. I tilt my head curiously. "Yes." Dallas pulls his bangs back with a nervous grin. "I don't want to be a bother, but could I have dinner here tonight?" I nod immediately. "Yeah, tonight's fish night and having a friend over here would cheer everyone up."
Of course we had to wait two hours until dinner was ready so we just watched tv 'til then. When we did walk up deck, it was like someone died. Well, Kevin comes in with the food, the mood lightens dramatically. Zidgel speaks first as always, "Alright crew, let's review today's mission on Planet Scales. Ester, why were we there?"
"The natives were having problems getting their old skin off."
"Fidgel, how'd you solve it?"
"Merely adjusting the temperature to their usual habitat's degree."
"Umm...Midgel, why did Doctor have to do...that.?"
"The planet was going under a cold spell that nearly froze 'em all to death."
"Good, good. Kevin, pray so we can eat dinner."
I have to admit, that was the best dinner this month. Lots of laughter, lots of food and lotsa love. "Captain Zidgel, I know it's getting really late, but…...could I spend a few nights here?" Dallas asks after all the dishes are put away. Zidgel thinks for a minute. "Why?" Dallas answers, "I'm tired of sleeping at my house alone." Zidgel claps a flipper on Dallas' shoulder. "Then, of course."
"But where is he going to sleep?" Midgel just had to ask one of the hardest awkward questions to answer. Dallas says nervously, I could sleep on a mattress in Ester's room, on the opposite side of the room." Zidgel think even longer, not deeper though. "Well, as long as nothing bad happens, I don't see why not."
So a two night sleepover? Seems legit, even more that it starts with a tap on the shoulder.
