A/N: Thank you all my loyal reviewers! Space loves you all! Thank you, Dolly! And thank you PetrieBird18! Thank you everyone who's already been thanked a gagillion times! And Mystery Machine, ask and you shall receive!

Disclaimer: If I owned Space Cases, I would be a regular, and the only person who would be anywhere near Commander Goddard. But I don't, and alas, it is just fantasy...

Confined to quarters. Could it get any worse? I mean, it's not like Miss Davenport was hurt or anything! Can't anyone on this ship take a joke?

Well, I know he can. That's why I like him so much. But she is the enemy! She takes all the attention that should be rightfully mine!

We all know he likes me. He has to! He said that I had a twinkle in my eye when I got us out of that ionic storm!

Or did he? I might have embellished a bit...no, I think he did.

Then he came into my room. I turned away selfishly. I love the man, but I wasn't letting him off that easily.

"That was a funny joke you played," Commander Goddard admitted. "But when you're in my position, you'll understand what I did better."

I groaned. But then it was like I could feel him smile.

So I turned around to face him, and he was right in front of my face. Very closely.

"You're confined to quarters," he reminded me. "And I'm supposed to be reprimanding you. Why not make the most of it?"

He held my face gingerly, and came in for the kiss...

"Harlan!" Radu called out, shaking me out of my slumber. "You're going to be late for class."

"Five more minutes, Mom," I groaned sleepily. But Radu wouldn't give up, so I finally crawled out of bed and got ready.

That dream was freaky. Maybe Cat would kill me. But, hey, I bet everyone else dreams of me!

Another Author's Note: Yeah, I know, that sucked. But I had writer's block so bad that it took the song "I Think I Love You" with the combined power of half a liter of Vanilla Coke, two Frappuccinos, and a few Poptarts to write it. I think best when I can't stay still. But, evidence Harlan likes Commander G--if Harlan didn't, why would he make the Commander say that Harlan had a twinkle in his eye?
