Summary: I personally (despite what i write in some of my stories) think that Trance and Harper secretly love each other-but haven't told each other. If you get what i mean...Any way, so i've dedicated these stories to the two of them. Oh and it's set whenever you want it to be set cos it doesn't really matter. // = Harpers thoughts **= Trances' thoughts italics = song words
Rating: Not very high. Probably about a PG-13 depends i guess, on your point of view.

I'd just like to apologise in advance for all of the REALLY corney lines and probably bad spelling!!!! :)
As Harper skidded to a halt on the command deck Trance looked up from her console. Clasping the flowers tightly behind his back Harper started talking before he lost all of his confidence.
"Uhh, hi Trance." //Please stop looking at me like i'm some kind of freak!//
"I was just wondering what you were doing up this early. Especially since you didn't tell me what you were doing, despite what i said, i still want to know. Oh great, now i'm babling." A blush hit Harper with such force that his face was almost the same color as a few of the flowers.
"What are you blushing for Harper?" **you should do it more often, it makes you 'cute' ** "Aren't geniuses supposed to babble?"
"Only,"
//Here goes Seamus, stick with it now.//
"When we're with someone we really like." However, when she didn't slap him and call him an idiot he carried on, a little more encouraged, "Umm, you see Trance I like you a lot, i mean more than any body else i have ever met before in my life. You're amazing. You're interesting, funny, very smart, not to mention extremely beautiful..." He paused to take a breather, "I want you to be my purple sparkly babe, Trance Gemini." //Phew, glad thats over. Now the ultimate test. Does she slap me, or doesn't she?//
**Oh my god! He loves me too! Thank you thank you thank you!!!**
"And I want you to be my cool super genius, Seamus Harper. I've never felt the is strongly for anyone before either. I can't stand it when you're sick, when you're on another ship, when you're anywhere but here on this ship, with me."
Gobsmacked, and (for once) at a loss for words Harper managed to string 2 sentences together.
"Will you still love me, even when i say i got these from the Hydroponics Bay? I was really, like, gentle." Holding onto the flowers tightly he pulled them out from behind his back.
"Oh Harper, they're beautiful! Of course i still love you silly!" **You'd have to blow up the entire universe before i stopped.** she added silently.
"Really? I put roses in cos back in the 20th century on Earth men gave red roses to the women they loved . And the rest, i just thought they looked nice, sorta anyway."
//Great Harper, you're babbling again. The last time you did it this much was when she came back from the dead!//
"Harper?"
"Ya?"
"Shut up." Using his moment of surprise, she leaned in closer and placed a gentle kiss on his lips.
"Ya know, that's an excellent way to shut me up. But I've gotta finish what I was gonna do, I found this song in the Andromedas' history archives and i thought it described evrything pretty well it's called umm, Truely, Madly, err.."
"Deeply -by Savage Garden?" Trance finished for him, "I was looking through the archives earlier on too. It describes what i feel for you, shall we play it?"
That's what I was planing to do." Then, grinning like a Chesire cat he he deliberatly leant across Trance and put an arm around her waist while he tapped some controls.
"If you don't wipe that grin off your face soon I might have to it for you..." Threatened Trance,
"Hmm, I wouldn't mind that if it's any thing like shuting me up."
Walking over to the pilots seat Harper sat down and motioned for her to sit in his lap: which Trance gladly did.
With her head resting on his shoulder, they sat, contented, as the music began to play.
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truely, Madly, Deeply do
I will be strong I will be faithful
'Cause I'm counting on
A new beginning
A reason for living
A deeper meaning
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea,
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me
"Actually, I want to sit like this forever." Harper whispered,
"So do I. Forever and ever." Harper pulled her closer as the song continued.
I'll make a wish send it to heaven
Then make you want to cry
The tears of joy for all the pleasure in the certainty
That we're surrounded by the comfort and protection of
The highest power
In lonely hours
The tears devour you.
"I'll get mine as soon as my girlfriend is sitting with me on one of the best ships ever built -oh wait i am." Replied Harper, speaking softly into her hair as he stroked it,
I want to bathe with you in the sea,
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me
Oh can you see it baby?
You don't have to close your eyes
'Cause it's standing right here before you
All that you need will surely come
I'll be your dream I'll be your wish
I'll be your fantasy
I'll be your hope I'll be your love
Be everything that you need
I'll love you more with every breath
Truely, Madly, Deeply do
I want to stand with you on a mountain,
I want to bathe with you in the sea,
I want to lay like this forever,
Until the sky falls down on me
The song faded out leaving the pair sitting peacefully in the pilots chair. That is, until Screen Rommie appeared on (amazingly enough) the view screen.
"I just thought the two of you might like to know, everybody is on their way here for the morning briefing. So you might want to go out and come in again -if you know what i mean."
"Yeah, thanks for the heads up Andromeda." thanked Harper and she disappeared, "Well it's up to you doll. Do you want them to know now or wait a bit?"
"I'd actually rather wait a bit." Trance turned to face him, "I'll say that i've come from the Hydroponics Bay and you can..."
"Say that i've just got up." Smiling, he kissed her and left to head towards his quarters, "See ya in a minute baby!"
"Bye Harper!"
10 minutes later...
"Hello Mr. Harper, glad you could make it." Commented Dylan while Harper walked in.
Everyday everyone met up on the command deck to see what needed and didn't need to be done. And he, was late.
"Yeah, sorry bout that boss. But ya know us geniuses -we need our thinking sleep!"
"I would've thought that you would need beauty sleep more than any thing else Harper." retorted Beka, in her usual, friendly manner.
"Ha ha. Not funny. Besides, have you looked in a mirror lately?" Leaning against a console Harper looked Trance in the eye and grinned again,
//Is it me, or is she even more beautiful now than she was 10 minutes ago?//
Harper paid no attention to the meeting and was rather startled to realise that everyone else had left the room and that Trance was only a few milimetres away from him,
"Did you hear any thing i just said?" Trance had her hands on her hips and was pretending to look annoyed,
"Uhh, yes?"
"Well thats interesting. Because i didn't say anything. You're not getting sick again are you?"
"Only love sick baby."
"Well, can you drag your-self to the Hyroponics Bay to help me with something? I said there was something that needed fixing."
//Is it me or is there a hint of, mischief in her eyes???//
"Oh really? And what would that be?"
"The fact that I had to pretend that we weren't going out for a full 10 minutes."
"Ahh well, we can't have that now can we?" Taking her hand they strolled down to the Hydroponics whre nobody would find them.
Inside, Andromeda smiled.
