~*/A.N/*~Thanks everyone for the reviews. They were all so nice, and thank you for saying I'm doing a good job writing him. He's one of the harder ones and I'm doing my best. I would just like to say that this chapter of the story is dedicated to my very good friend Brittany Gove. She and her sister Jessica lost their father a few years back and this past Monday they lost their mom. So this is my solute for Brittany just to say hang in there and I'm here for you. You've been such a trooper and I also just wanted to say thanks for everything you've done for the B.H.S. Drama department and myself! ( And now here goes chapter 2!



Chapter 2! Yay!

"Harper Now!!" Dy6lan practically screamed at the top of his lungs.

"I'm comin' I'm comin'! Don't get your panties in a bunch!" Harper was still trying to wipe the tears from his eyes.

"HARPER!!"

"I know! I know!" Harper yelled back wiping his eyes one last time. Walking up to the door he took a few deep breaths to calm himself and then opened the door.

"Finally.What did you do to Rommie's Privacy mode settings?!"

"I just made 'em a little more private." Harper replied a little shyly. 'Thank God he hasn't noticed I've been crying!'

"Harper, there's a meeting on command. Come on." Dylan said turning and walking toward command. Breathing a huge sigh of relief Harper followed Dylan to command, the door to his quarters silently closing behind him.

"Harper, are you ok?"

"Huh? What?"

"Harper, you seem to be not concentrating and you're breathing heavily." Harper looked around. They were about halfway to command; he hadn't even noticed that they were moving. "Maybe you should go to medical. I."

"No! No, I'm fine. Just thinking."

"You're sure?"

"Yeah. Yeah boss, I'm fine."

"Alright. Uhh.Harper, what were you doing in your quarters?" Dylan asked shyly while blushing. Harper thought for a moment.

"NOT THAT!! Jeeze Dylan, and you guys think I'm sick. Icky!! No, and yah know the thought never even crossed my mind that you would say that. Oh man. Some things are just so wrong, you know that right?"

"Yeah, Harper, I know. I mean you could see why I thought that." Harper shook his head. "Well, you know, it's you."

"HEY!"

"Ok. Yah know what? Lets just drop it. Okay?"

"Fine. But I was not." With that they entered command.

"Finally! What the hell took so long?" Beka asked tiredly, and Harper shot Dylan a look that clearly said 'say anything and I'll kill you!'

"We were just talking", Dylan replied noticing Harpers look. "Rommie, ETA on the ship?"

"Two minutes." Andromeda's mainframe self replied flatly.

"Ship? What ship?" Harper asked clueless.

"The woman?" Dylan asked ignoring Harper.

"Her life signs are still there, but are very weak." Rommie replied from beside Beka. Harper's mouth fell open when he heard that there was a woman aboard the ship.

"Trance and Rommie go prep medical for a patient." Dylan ordered. Trance and Rommie left for medical.

"Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! Whoa! There's a ship out there with some babe on it and no one told me?" Harper asked still with his mouth wide open and a sarcastic look of hurt on his face.

"You were busy in your quarters", Dylan replied to the question with a smile. Harper responded by sticking his tongue out at him.

"Andromeda, open the hanger bay doors and deploy the grappling harpoons." Andromeda did as she was told.

"Tyr? Harper? Please escort our guest to medical."

"Gladly!" Harper said with a smile already halfway out the door before sprinting to the hanger. Tyr followed silently.
