A/N: I want to thank the people who reviewed my first chapter, so I've been brain storming…and came up with, another chapter. Should be doing homework but this is more fun.



Trance stood there, silently pondering to herself. Just then there was a knock at her door. Turning abruptly on the spot, she asked who it was.

"Um, Trance it's me Harper and if you don't mind; I would like it better if I was talking to your face instead of this door." Said Harper

Trance walked over and opened her door, which made a hissing sound as it opened. Harper was there, looking the way he did…but she didn't let him in.

"Well?" asked Trance

"Trance I just wanted to talk, and since you won't let me in I guess were going for a walk" said Harper

Trance couldn't refuse; they did need to talk. He must be so confused. Although most questions he might ask can't be answered.

"I guess so." Said Trance as she walked past Harper out the door.

Harper nicely closed her door and went to catch up.

They walked in an awkward silence down the once again deserted hallway.

Trance was the first too break it.

"Do you like the 'new me' " asked Trance who had stopped in the middle of the hallway

Harper stopped just in front of Trance.

"Well, the appearance will take some getting use too, and you 'claim' to be the SAME person and being your best friend I'm inclined to believe you" in Harper's mind he thought that came out pretty good

"Oh.." said Trance, trying to take everything in. As they started to walk again Harper looked over at his friend, she seemed so lonely. So taking a change he cautiously lifted his hand to take hers. She smiled, but told not because she felt like she didn't know HARPER anymore.

Harper kind of lost it.

"What do you mean you don't know me anymore? I'M your best friend, your ONLY friend right now!!" Explained an enraged Harper

At this comment Trance picked up her right hand to slap him, her whole body was shaking with sobs; she couldn't do it. Her hand was stopped inches from Harper's cheek. He reached up and gripped around her wrist.

"Don't do something you'll regret" he said calmly.

She looked at him blankly. She opened her mouth to say something but nothing came out, she lowered her hand. Harper's hand was still locked loosely around her wrist.

She looked down at her feet. Harper couldn't help but feel bad, he let go of her wrist, and as soon as he did she walked away.

Hands at her side; tears on her cheeks. Alone. Once again walking in the silence. But it was then she realized that the silence was worse alone.

~*~

Harper just stood there stunned, well not so much stunned as horrified. He had just made his best friend cry!

He had to fix this, because as much as he hated to admit it, she was the ONLY person who understood him.

*HARPER, please report to the command deck*

" DAMNIT!" Harper cursed all the way to the command deck. As the doors opened he tried to calm himself down, which kind of worked.

He walked through the open door trying to act normal, well normal enough for him anyway.

"Wanted to see me boss!" said Harper in the cheeriest voice he could do.

"Yes Mr. Harper, the slipstream drive doesn't seem to be working properly. If you wouldn't mind taking a look to see what the problem is.." asked Dylan

"Sure I'll take a look at it boss, I mean that IS what I'm here for" said Harper
