Part 3 ~ Trance & Harper


Okay Harper you tried to forget about her but it didn't work so know your going to march down to
hydroponics and tell her how you feel. How you've never felt this way in your whole life. If she laughs
or pities you at least you know how she fells. You can't go on not knowing. Okay here I go.


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I've lied to myself long enough. I deserve to know how Harper feels about me. I can't go on not knowing.
It hurts too much. I need to know. Our friendship can take this. I know it can. I hope it can. Even
if it can't I still have to know. These feelings I have just won't go away. I'm gonna march right down
there and tell him how I feel know. Before I chicken out.

"Trance!" Harper called out upon seeing her making her way towards him down the hall.

"Harper. I was just looking for you." said Trance looking anywhere but at him.

"That's funny 'cos I was looking for you." responded Harper willing her to look him in the eyes.

Just as Trance looked up Harper said seriously, "Look I need to tell you something but I kinda need to know
that you won't laugh at me first."

"I would never laugh at you Harper. Don't you know that."

He studied her for a minute and said, "Yeah I guess I do. It's just I'm kinda nervous about what I'm
fixing to tell ya and well..."

"Just tell me." Pleaded Trance as she took his hands in hers.

*I hope this isn't bad*

"I....er....I...Aw the hell with it. Trance I really, really like you and sometimes I think that
maybe I even love you but I don't know. I'm not sure yet. I mean yeah I'm a super-genus and all but even I
don't know everything. All I know is that I've never felt this way about another person before in my whole
life. I'd like to explore these feelings I have for you, if you'll let me." Once done with his
proclamation Harper looked at Trance only to find her crying. *I never thought I'd make her cry.* "I'm
sorry Trance," started Harper taking her tears as a bad sign, "I never should have said anything!"

"No!" Shouted Trance "Don't be sorry. I'm crying because I'm happy. I was just coming to tell you the
same thing."

Looking into Trances beaming face Harper replied, "Please don't be joking with me Trance. I don't think
that I could take it."

"I'm not joking. I swear. I really like you too."

"Wow. I never thought that you'd actually feel the same way. But I just had to know so I took a chance.
When I saw you crying I thought that I had a problem."

"You do have a problem. We both do." said Trance with a smile on her face.

"What's that?" asked Harper pulling his hands out of hers and crossing his arms over his chest. Seeing her
frown at this he quickly wrapped his arms around her waist.

"How are we ever going to be able to concentrate on anything but each other ever again?"

"Strangely enough I'm not really worried about that right now. I want to ask you something."

"Fire away."

Looking deep into her eyes Harper asked, "May I kiss you?"

"Yes." whispered Trance as her cheeks infused with darker purple.

The moment Harper's lips touched hers he knew that he'd found what he'd been looking for his whole life.
He'd found home. Not a home but home. The only home he'd ever need.

Have I got a problem? You bet I do.
