Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda
The Princess
Chapter 3
The translucent purple petal's color was reflected by the light Harper had on his desk. Harper sat in his chair staring at the purple shapes on the wall. He thought of Beka and their adventures on the Maru. He, Beka, and Rev had been through alot together and Trance had instantly became part of the family. Beka had held everything together, and now she was gone. What would they do without her? Beka was gone. Harper had remembered when Beka had bought the rose crystal. She had gotten a purple one instead of red especially for Trance. The color purple just seemed special and unique for Trance. The color seemed special and unique aboard the Andromeda. It seemed that everyone was unique in their own ways: Harper-god of creation and mechanic, Dylan-fossil High Guard Captain and basketball player, Tyr-big scary guy, Trance-cute purply babe, Rev-Wayist Magog like a wolf turned sheep, Rommie-goddess, and Beka-person that tries well actually tried to protect them and look out for them. But now Beka is gone and someone else would have to look out for them. Dylan would have to take Beka's place or they would have to look out for themselves.
Harper picked up the crystal and turned it around in his hand examining it. The purple rose reminded him of Trance, mostly innocent. The crystal that held the rose was like Beka protecting Trance and looking out for her best interests. Beka had done that for Trance, Rev, and him.
A knock came at his door, he called for whoever was at his door to come in. Harper immediately smiled at her arrival, Rommie was Harper's creation. She was a goddess. She looked sad...or maybe it was concern? The only other time he had seen her like that was when the Pax Magellanic destroyed herself.
"Did Dylan or Rev Bem send you?" Harper asked.
"No, Andromeda sent me to see how you are."
"I'm fine! Really!" Harper said pretending to be fine, which he knew Rommie would see right through.
"I don't believe you! Harper, I'm here to listen and talk if you need it," Rommie told him.
"I know, it's just that I don't feel like talking right now," he told her.
"What's that?" Rommie asked pointing to his desk.
"That's Trance's. It's something Beka bought her, Trance is just letting me borrow it."
"Why are you borrowing it? Does it remind you of Beka?" Rommie asked.
"Alittle."
"Why?"
"Because...it just does."
"Talk to me, Harper."
"I don't want to Rommie!"
"Do you want me to leave?" Rommie asked him.
"No! I don't want to be alone, either! Please stay," Harper asked her.
"O...kay, I guess I could stay for alittle bit longer..."
"Good," Harper said quietly. So, Rommie sat on the edge of Harper's bed, watching him watch the crystal and the light dance on the wall. "Isn't it beautiful?" Harper asked Rommie.
"Yes," Rommie stated plainly.
"You know Rev's probably the only Magog that I'll ever not hate, and I met him working on the Eureka Maru. Beka's always taken care of me. Trance hadn't even been with us long before we came to the Andromeda. Beka was happy here, Rommie."
"She was?" Rommie asked surprised.
"Oh, yes."
"I didn't know that..."
