/A.N./ Thanks everyone for all of the reviews. They're like food for the
ego. I just love reading them so PLEASE REVIEW!!!
"Thanks." Harper said as he made his way into the room.
"Uh.Trance? Who is that?" The young woman whispered (she's now wearing a shirt).
"Harper this is Isa Julson. Isa this is Andromeda's engineer Seamus Harper." Trance giggled in response.
"Uh.hi." Harper said extending his hand.
"It's a pleasure to meet you." Isa replied gratefully shaking his hand.
"Pleasure's all mine." Harper said giving her one of his famous smiles (showing off those adorable dimples /A.N./ Chesley I am not consentrating too much on his looks!!). Isa retuned his smile with one of her own, but it didn't last long. She winced in pain as she tried to push herself up into a sitting position.
"Whoa! What cha doin'? Your gonna hurt yourself." Harper exclaimed as he gently grabbed a hold of her waist and helped her up.
"Thank you. Oh, and about what I was doing. Well, in case you didn't notice I was attempting to sit up." Isa replied with a warming smile, "but I'm flattered that you were worried about me." Isa finished causing harper to blush.
"Well, yah know, I saved your life; I don't wanna see yah get hurt yourself before you even get better."
"What?" Isa asked puzzled by his statement. Harper was about to say something when Trance spoke up.
"Harper is the one who found you and had Tyr bring you here. He just doesn't want to see you push yourself too hard and get hurt."
"Of, well.uh.wow, uh, I don't know what to say.uh, thanks I guess." Isa was at a loss for words.
"Hey it was nothin'," Harper said after finally finding his voice.
"No, really. Thank you so very much. Umm.could I possibly have a hug?" Isa asked, her eyes pleading.
"Sure." Harper said, as he leaned over and wrapped his arms around Isa's waist. Isa kissed him on the cheek as she wrapped her arms around his neck in a big hug. Harper tightened his grip around her waist when she tightened the one she has around his neck, unfourtunately it hurt. Harper wouldn't have noticed if it wasn't for the small muffled yelp of pain that escaped her lips.
"Oh Crap!! I am so sorry, I didn't mean to hurt you!" Harper began frantically apologizing.
"No, Seamus. It's okay. I'm fine."
"Harper." Harper replied.
"huh?" Isa wasn't quite sure why he sad said that.
"Just call me Harper, would yah?"
"Of course Sea.Harper." Isa corrected while smiling at him.
"So, uh, how you feelin'," Harper asked hopping up on the bed next to Isa.
"Oh, just spiffy. Yah know aside from the splitting headache, and the pain shooting through my entire body every time I take a breath."
"Well, maybe Trance could get some.Hey, where's Trance?" Harper said looking around and not seeing the golded pixie.
"I don't' know. I didn't see her leave." Isa said not seeing her either. Isa was about to continue her sentence when Dylan burst through the door.
"He looks mad." Isa whispered in harper's ear. Harper loved the sensation he got by the sudden warmth on his ear, but it was gone all-to-quickly.
"Oh, he is." Harper whispered back. Isa just gulped in response. Harper noticed her unease. He jumped off of the bed, walked over to Dylan, and without a word grabbed his arm and pulled him aside.
"Harper, what the hell are you doing?" Dylan hissed.
"Boss, calm down. Just relax, your scaring Isa." Harper was practically pleading.
"What? Who?" Dylan was all confused.
"You. Are. Scaring. Isa. The girl over there." Harper explained mokingly slow and gestured over to the medical bed where Isa was sitting looking at them intently.
"Oh. Okay. Sorry."
"No prob. Hey, you seen Trance? She snuck out or somethin'."
"Yeah, she's in command. Why? Are you ok?"
"What? Yeah I'm fine. No it's just Isa said that, uh, she said she was in a lot of pain, and I just thought that maybe Trance could give her something for it."
"Harper, you're blushing." Dylan stated with a smile. Harper just glared at him and walked back over to Isa.
"Is he mad at me?" Isa quietly asked as Harper approached; looking at him with her soft dark blue eyes.
"No. Why would he be mad at you?" Harper asked looking at her with his bright blue eyes.
"I don't know. People just always seem to be."
"And you don't' know why?"
"No. Probably because of my constant sarcasm or the fact that I always ask stupid questions that don't really have any answers."
"What kinds of questions?" Harper was genuinely interested.
"Some like, uh. Oh, like 'if the weatherman says there's a fifty percent chance of rain does that mean he has no idea if it's going to or not?'"
"That's cute. Uh, but what's a weatherman?" Harper said laughing.
"A weatherman is a person who broadcasts what the weather will be like the next day." Andromeda said as she popped into view.
"Hello Andromeda." Isa said smiling at the hologram.
"Hello Isa. Harper, Dylan said you wanted to speak with Trance. Would you like me to ask her to come down here for you?"
"Yeah is she isn't busy."
"Alright. She's on her way." With that the hologram blinked out of exsistance. Harper and Isa hadn't noticed, but while they were engaged in their conversation Beka had come in to talk with Harper. She ended up speaking with Dylan instead. Beka and Dylan were now walking over to the medical bed where harper and Isa were.
"So, how old are you?" Harper asked (neither of them noticed Beka and Dylan).
"Harper you shouldn't ask a woman that." Dylan said from behind him.
"Oh, hey boss and .uh, other boss." Harper stammered causing Isa to giggle and haprer to blush a bright red and look at the floor.
"Smooth Harper. Real smooth." Beka said putting an arm around his shoulder. "So squirt, you gonna introduce us or should we be doing it ourselves?"
"Oh sorry. Isa this is Beka Valentine." Harper said as Beka and Isa shook hands. "and that's Dylan Hunt." He gestured to Dylan as Isa also shook Dylan's hand. "And this lovely lady right here is Isa Julson.that's how you say it, right?" Harper finished/asked with a smile making Isa blush while she nodded her head accnologing that he had said her name right.
"Miss Julson, do you mind telling us what happened?" Dylan asked athorativly.
"Well, to be honest I really don't know much about what happened to my ship, but I'll tell you what I do know. I had been on my way to Sinti to speak with some of the scientists about some research I had done.." As Isa continued Trance came in. Harper went over to meet her at the door.
"Rommie said you needed me?" Trance asked as Harper approached her.
"Yeah. Isa said that she was in a lot of pain, so I was wondering if you had anything you could give her for it."
"Did she say exactly what hurt?"
"Uh, yeah. She said that she had a killer headache and that it hurt really bad every time she took a breath."
"Okay." Was all she said as she walked over to where the others were with Harper not far behind her.
".and then as I walked into the cockpit something shook the ship, I fell into a console, and that's when I must have lost consiousness. When I woke up I was here. Isa finished flashing Harper a small smile. "Hi Trance." She said noticing the golden girl.
"Hello Isa. Harper said that you had a headache?"
"Yeah I did, but it's gone now."
"Alright. I guess the painkillers I gave you earlier worked on your head. Harper also said that you said that it hurt whenever you take a breath?"
"Yeah it does."
"Okay. This should help." Trance said as she used the injector she had picked up on her way over to inject Isa with some more painkillers.
"Thanks."
"So.Isa right?" Beka asked.
"Yeah." Isa smiled at her.
"Isa." Beka smiled back, "where are you from?"
"Far far away. Yah know, some where over the rainbow." Isa replied, well she sung the last part, which made everyone stat laughing. The laughter was quickly quieted as Tyr and Rommie came into the room. Isa's eyes widened when she saw Tyr. 'Oh great, a Kodiak. Where the hell is Sarah when I need her. This is the last thing I need tight now.' Isa thought as Tyr and Rommie approached.
"Isa, this is my greatest creation, the lovable, Rommie." Isa just waved because Rommie was too far away to shake hands with. "And the big blob over there that kind of resembles a man would be Tyr." Harper finished from his safe place, which was beside Beka. Isa gave Tyr a quick look and a wave then looked back at Rommie.
"Uh, I hope you don't mind my asking, but creation?" Isa looked at Harper then back at Rommie.
"Yes creation. I am the ships avatar. Harper built me this body." Rommie plainly stated.
"Oh ok. You did an excellent job Seamus." Isa literally smacker her forehead as she realized he mistake in using Harper's first name, "Harper. Sorry."
"It's ok. I mean it ain't that big of a deal." Harper said, once again hopping up on the bed next to Isa.
"Child, tell Dylan what species you are!" Tyr demanded.
"Uh, no!" Isa retorted.
"Yah know, it's probably not a real good idea to talk back to Tyr. Especially someone in your condition." Harper whispered in her ear.
"God I wish Sarah was here." Isa whispered, immediately regretting the fact that she had said that out loud.
"Who's Sarah?" Harper said in a very quiet whisper with his lips brushing lightly against Isa's ear.
"I'll tell you later." Isa whispered back, never taking her eyes off of Tyr.
"Boy!!" Tyr bellowed.
"What!?" Harper yelled back angry because he had to break the close contact the had had with Isa.
"Quite trying to get the girl to mate with you. It's dangerous." Tyr retorted.
"What's dangerous!?!" Now Harper was angry and confused.
"He means me." A soft voice came from beside Harper.
"What?" Harper said, sounding angrier than he intended to which caused Isa to visibly flinch. "What species are you that makes you so dangerous?" Harper asked as sweetly and softly as he could.
"I.I'm, uh, well I'm." Isa stammered. Harper cupped his hands around her face and leaned his forehead against hers.
"Shhhh.it's ok. Just relax. Okay?"
"Okay." Isa replied. She tried valiantly not to cry, but failed miserably. She took both of her hands and grasped both of Harper's wrists (His hands were still cupped around her face) and she began crying uncontrollably.
Beka slapped Tyr's arm as hard as she possibly could. "Good going Tyr!" She hissed.
"Thanks." Harper said as he made his way into the room.
"Uh.Trance? Who is that?" The young woman whispered (she's now wearing a shirt).
"Harper this is Isa Julson. Isa this is Andromeda's engineer Seamus Harper." Trance giggled in response.
