Part 5: Decisions, Decisions, and Dylan
When the door opened Dylan had to admit that he was quite astonished. Dom was not at all what he was expecting, especially not from a friend of Harper's. She looked more like he would expect a friend of Tyr's would look like. Assuming Tyr had friends.
It was hard to decipher weather or not she was pretty under all that black make-up on her face. He thought that she might be pretty cute. But for now all he could say for sure is that she had one hell of a body.
Clearing his throat Dylan said, "Ms. Lancaster, I'm Captain Dylan Hunt. May I come in?"
"By all means Captain."
"Thank you." said Dylan as he stepped into her quarters.
"Um, how exactly can I help you Captain Hunt?"
"Maybe we should sit down Ms. Lancaster."
"Please call me Dom. Ms. Lancaster doesn't really fit me." said Dom taking the seat opposite him.
"All right Dom," replied Dylan privately agreeing with her about the name, "I've come to discuss your staying on with us for a little while."
Hey, Mr. Seeker
Hold on to this advice
If you keep seeking you will find
Don't want to follow
Down roads been walked before
It's so hard to find unopened doors
"My staying for awhile?" repeated Dom a bit confused.
"Exactly what all has Harper told you about Trance?"
"Not much. Just that she's his, and I quote, 'special friend'. I mean come on I'm not blind."
"Fairly obvious that there's more than friendship going on there isn't it."
"It so is." laughed Dom. Her laughter proving infectious Dylan soon joined in.
As his laughter died down Dylan began again, "Trance is something of an enigma to us all. None of us know that much about her background. In fact we just recently found out she has certain telepathic abilities." he paused her to make sure that Dom was indeed listening. At her nodded he continued, "She also sometimes knows things. Things that she shouldn't know. She says that you need to stay here with us. She doesn't know why. Just that you need to stay."
"Some purple girl who's telepathic and pre-cognitive says I need to stay. But she doesn't know why?" asked Dom skeptically.
"Er, yes." replied Dylan as he found himself re-evaluating the girl in front of him. She was obviously very smart.
"You'll forgive me if I say that sounds a trifle far fetched."
"I'll admit that it does sound a bit preposterous. But I've come to trust Trance, flashes, for lack of a better word. So I'm asking you to stay with us. Please."
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come
Oh I said are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come
Looking at Dylan intently for a minute Dom asked, "How do you know that she's not using her telepathic abilities on you and your crew?"
"I trust her! She would never do anything like that. Harper trusts her."
"Don't get your boxers in a bunch. I'll stay, Captain."
"Thank you. Since you are going to be with us for awhile you might as well call me Dylan. Can't have you calling me Captain and setting a bad example for the rest of the crew." joked Dylan.
"Okay. Can I ask you something?"
"Go ahead."
"Why did you have to ask me? Why did you just get Harper to ask. It would have been a lot easier."
"Trance said that I had to ask you." said Dylan getting ready to once again defend her.
"I wonder why?" questioned Dom.
"I don't know."
Shrugging it off Dom found herself looking at the man across from her. She had to admit he was handsome. A little uptight but handsome. And he had great eyes. Eyes that we currently looking right at her. Blushing furiously Dom asked, "Well since I'm going to be here for awhile don't I get a grand tour?"
Smiling, Dylan rose and said, "By all means."
Hey Mr. Hero
Walking a thin, fine line
Under the microscope of life
Remember your roots, my friend
They're right down below
'Cause hero's come and heroes go
Cut to: Trance and Harper in Trance's Room
"So why exactly did Dylan have to ask Dom to stay?" questioned Harper as he threw himself down on the light blue couch.
Replying from her position in the matching chair beside him Trance said, "I don't know, Seamus. It just had to be him.
"Hey, babe, don't be angry with me. I was just wondering." Harper replied setting up.
"I know. It's just I hate talking about all this stuff."
"Ah, I know sweetheart. I'm sorry. Is there anything I can do?"
"Just hold me for a little while." said Trance as she sat down beside him.
Pulling her onto his lap he changed the subject by asking, "How do you think the others will get along with Dom?"
"Pretty well." said Trance glad to be getting off the previous subject.
"How do you think Tyr will react?"
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come
Oh I said are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come
The image of Dom and Tyr's first encounter set Trance off into a fit of giggles.
"Maybe it wont be that bad." said Harper optimistically.
"Oh please Seamus. Can't you just seem him demanding to know why she wears that make-up?"
"God. You are probably right." groaned Harper.
"I am right."
"I just hope that she doesn't hit him."
"Hit him?"
"She's kind of a fire-cracker. She's the oddest combo of you, me, Beka, and Rev."
"How so?" questioned Trance.
"Well she's tough like Beka, nice and sweet, to her friends, like you, way to into all that religious crap like Rev, and well, she's smart like me."
"Is she really as pretty as you were saying earlier?" asked Trance after a few moments of silence.
"Yeah. She really is a total babe under all that. She's not my type 'cos' ya know I like 'em purple. But she is really beautiful."
Smiling at him Trance asked, "Then I wonder why she wears that make-up?"
"I don't know, sweetheart. I just don't know."
Sighing to herself at the 'sweetheart' Trance laid her head against his chest.
The quiet was broken several seconds later by Harper asking, "I wonder why we need Dom?"
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
Count down to the change in life that's soon to come
10, 9, 8, 7, 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,
Count down to the change in life that's soon to come
"I don't know Seamus. I just hope it's nothing bad. We deserve a break."
"Hey, I think Beka knows."
"Me too. I think it's time we let her and Rommie in on all this. Officially, I mean.
"You're right. Beka only knows enough to be extremely pissed for being out of the loop."
"You aren't afraid of big, bad, Beka are you Seamus?" teased Trance.
"Hey, not all of us are her good luck charm."
"Don't worry, I'll tell her."
"Thank you." said Harper breathing a big sigh of relief. "I was.." here he was cut off By Trances hand over his mouth.
"Seamus?"
"Yeah?"
"Be quiet."
Your life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun
"I can do that."
"If you can do that then why are you still talking?"
"Because I...just because." defended Harper.
"Great comeback."
"When you get all sassy it's quite the turn on, babe."
"Please."
"It's true." protested Harper.
"Seamus Zelazny Harper, anything breathing and female turns you on."
"True. But only you keep me on."
Are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come
Oh I said are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come
Oh I said are you ready?
Are you ready?
For what's to come.
Cut to: Dylan and Dom at the end of the tour
"Well I guess I've seen it all." said Dom as they approached her door.
Reaching for his force lance Dylan asked, "Have you seen my force lance?"
"No."
Fully extending it he said, "You can touch it."
Tentatively reaching out her hand Dom said uncertainly, "It's really...nice."
Putting it up Dylan said, "It's my favorite weapon."
"Why?"
Well it's easy to maneuver and it can fit in tight places."
Blushing beneath her make-up Dom asked, "We are still talking about the force lance?"
"Yes." replied Dylan. "What did you think..." he trailed off suddenly as it occurred to him what it was she thought .
Noting his change of expression she said, "Yeah."
Blushing himself Dylan replied, "No. I was defiantly not talking about that."
After standing awkwardly for a few seconds Dom said, "We'll I guess I'll go in now."
All right." replied Dylan still to mortified to look her in the eye. "Well good-bye." and with that he took off.
Your life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun
Life has just begun
Note #2: I'm sorry about the end. I just couldn't resist writing it in. The "Have you seen my force lance?" is the best line ever!
