Part 4: Friendship and the Future
"Why didn't you get me ask night?" questioned Trance as she walked down one of Andromeda's many corridors with Harper.
"It was really late and I just figured you'd be asleep. Beside Dom was tired. She basically just said hi and then went to bed herself." explained Harper as they rounded a corner.
"Harper wait a sec." said Trance as she stopped.
"First off I told you to call me Seamus, babe."
Blushing Trance replied, "Seamus, are you sure that she'll like me?"
Smiling at her he said, "She'll love you Trance." Just like I do he privately added to himself.
They resumed walking and soon came to a halt in front of Dom's room. After just standing there for several minutes Trance turned to Harper and asked, "Um...Seamus do you want me to go in first?"
"I don't know what's wrong with me. I saw her last night and I was just fine. So what's wrong with me now? It's just Dom."
"Maybe your afraid she'll tell me all about how horrid you were as a child." joked Trance trying to calm Harper down.
"Hey!"
"Ahh, baby Seamus. I bet you were all cute." cooed Trance.
Just as Harper went to reply the door that they had both forgotten about opened. Standing there in the door was a tall, voluptuous women in a pair of tight black leather pants, black leather boots, and an untucked white tank top. She had on a belt with a huge buckle and her hair was twisted up in what later Trance could only describe as 'this odd bun type thing'. But what really made Trances mouth hang open was her make-up. Black eye shadow in the shape of butterfly wings covered each side of her face.
After allowing Trance and Harper a few moments to take her appearance in Dom stepped back from the door and gestured for them to enter. When they hesitated she raised her left eyebrow and quipped, "You did invite me Harper."
Well this is just between us but between us let's get high
In pictures I have seen her and to see her is truly fine
She's on fire
She's on fire
Chuckling slightly Harper grabbed Trances hand an walked into the room. Once they had all taken a seat Dom looked Harper square in the eye and asked, "Why exactly am I here Harper? I was to tired to even ask last night."
"Well...um...you see the thing is...uh." he broke off pathetically and looked towards Trance for help.
Noting his distress Trance blurted out, "Why do you were your eye shadow like that?" As soon as it was out of her mouth Trance cringed thinking herself an idiot.
Dom simply replied, "Everyone wears masks. I just happen to wear my one the outside."
"Ah, sheesh, you've gone and turned into Rev Bem on me. Going around be all philosophical." said Harper.
"Oh please, this condemnation coming from a cocky. self-absorbed, self-proclaimed, genius." batted back Dom.
"Um hey, guy's" broke in Trance, "Didn't you want to ask her something Seamus." finished Trance jerking her head none to subtly towards Dom.
"You called him Seamus?"
"Yes."
"Nobody calls him Seamus."
"Well I do." replied Trance defensively.
"Hey chill purple. It's okay. I already know what Harper wants to ask me." Turning to once again face Harper she continued, "You didn't have to bring me here to ask my permission. We made that pact like 4 years ago and beside you were on some sorta caffeine-trip from to much Sparky-Cola. We never really were engaged, engaged. Really, ya didn't even have to ask me."
"Really?" asked Harper smiling.
"Yes ya big lug. Come here and hug me." replied Dom with a smile of her own.
All nervousness now gone Harper quickly went up to the much taller girl and embraced her. After several moments a soft "Ahh" was heard breaking from Trances lips.
Flowers in her evening set I get the feeling she won't forget
And there's times you'd long to be her but to be her is surly blinding
She's on fire
She's on fire
She's on to me
And I'm over me
She's on fire
Going over to Trance, Harper grinned and asked, "I never even introduced you two did I?"
"No you big lug head." replied Trance sending Dom into a fit of laughter.
"Ladies, ladies let's not make fun of the freakin' genius." said Harper feigning hurt.
When they both smiled back at him Harper began the introductions, "Trance, babe, I'd like you to met my best friend Dominique 'Dom' Lancaster. We grew up together, left Earth together, and basically know everything there is to know about each other.
"Hi Dom." Said Trance enthusiastically with a wave.
"Now Dom, this is Trance Gemini, my other best friend. She's very special to me so I hope that you'll like her."
"I'm sure I will." said Dom as she shook the purple girls hand.
"Can I just say something?" asked Trance.
"Shoot." replied Dom.
"You are nothing at all like what I thought you'd be."
"Thanks. I think."
"Babes I hate to break up this little love fest but Trance and I gotta go to a crew meeting. If were late Dylan will kill...well me."
"Okay. But later I'd like to meet the rest of the crew."
"No problemo babe. Bye!"
"Bye Dom."
"Bye." said Dom as the young couple left. "Special friend my ass." laughed Dom.
Once outside Harper looked at Trance and simply asked, "Well?"
"I liked her. At first I thought I wouldn't because she looked scary but she isn't. I really do like her." said Trance sincerely.
"Trust me under all that make up and leather there is a total babe."
"Seamus!" exclaimed Trance as she bumped into him on purpose.
Laughing he replied, "Don't worry I've only got eyes for you."
And if I could be inside her light
I would steal enough to make my way into the night
And if I could be inside her light I might just find I'm be all right
Cut to: The Meeting
"So Mr. Harper," began Dylan, "How is your friend?"
"She's fine. Trance and I went to see her right before this and everything is fine." replied Harper with a look towards Dylan who had per force been let in on the whole situation. The only two people that weren't in the loop were Beka and Rommie. Although, both Trance and Harper had a strong suspicion that they knew more than they let one.
"Good. When will she be leaving?" demanded Tyr gruffly. After his and Harpers talk he hand returned to his usual lovable self.
"Gee Tyr should I go down there and tell her you said it was time for her to leave?"
"Anyway, Mr. Harper," interrupted Dylan, "I'm glad that things went well."
"Me too." said Harper.
"Oh yeah, me too." quipped Beka who was tired of pretending she didn't know what was going on.
"HaHa." laughed Harper nervously.
"Well, not to sound like Tyr but you might tell Ms. Lancaster that we are leaving the area in the morning." said Dylan.
"Okay."
"Dylan." said Trance softly laying a hand on his arm.
"What?" question Dylan looking up at the purple girl whose opinion he had quickly learned to value.
"We can't let her leave."
"Babe?" asked Harper.
"Girl?" growled out Tyr.
"I don't know why we need her I just know that we need her." explained Trance simply.
"So I need to get her to stay?" asked Harper.
"No. Dylan does."
"Why me Trance?" question Dylan.
Looking straight into Dylan's eyes Trance simply said, "Because it has to be you."
Well it's not just a daydream if you decide to make it your life
And this is not between us but between us let's keep getting back to where it's from
She's on fire
She's on fire
She's on to me
And I'm over me
She's on fire
She's on to me
An I'm over me
She's over me
And I'm on to her She's on fire She's on fire She's on fire
