Hello again! Sorry it's been so long since I've posted anymore. Did yah
miss me? Yeah, sure yah didn't. **Said sarcastically, while rolling eyes
and nodding** Thanks for all of the reviews on my last chapter, I loved
them. The few of them there was anyway. Are you guys slacking off on
me!?! Well get your butts in gear. **Forms sudden split personality
complex** Oh my God! I am so sorry! I didn't' mean it I swear! Do you
forgive me? Please, please, please, please, please? **Is now on knees,
hands clutch together, watery eyes, and pouting lips. It is extremely
exaggerated** Okay, better now. Back to my wonderful Kitty self. Anyway,
on with Chapter 16!

"Uh, yeah. That's why I called you over here." Isa told him mockingly.
"Hey! Come of. I was trying to be cute and charming." He replied, gently placing his hands around her waist. She smiled and kissed him. He kissed her back, hugging her tight as he did so. She deepened the kiss and wrapped her arms around his neck. Sarah, Sammie ((A.K.A. Worm)), and Kristen ((A.K.A. The unknown girl)) stood by smiling. Sammie made something that resembled Puppy dog eyes and mockingly sighed.
"Shut up Worm. Their cute." Kristen snapped.
"I didn't' say they weren't. I'm just joking around. Yah know, like with Sarah and Jake, or you and Mike. I mean come on, you guys make fun of me and Leroy all of the time."
"Enough!" Sarah said, "Isa?" She attempted to get her attention. Isa lifted one of her pointer fingers from behind Harper's head, to indicate that she'd be done in a minute. Sarah crossed her arms and tapped her foot on the floor impatiently, "Isa this is important!" She snapped. Isa and Harper broke apart, and believe me. Isa was pissed!
"WHAT!!?!!" Isa was really, super angry. ((A.N. How would you feel if you were broken out of kissing bliss with the exalted 'Love God'))
"Uh, it looks like you ladies have a few things to talk about. So...I'm just gonna go over three." Harper stammered and then went back over to where the rest of the crew was standing. Isa watched him go then turned back to her 'friends'. Her eyes flashed an electric purple color in rage.
"What the hell is so damned important that you ripped me out of heaven!?!"
"Isa, calm down. We don't want bloodshed. We just want to speak rationally with you." Kristen tried to sooth her. Isa let out a long frustrated sigh, ran her hands through her hair, and began pacing back and forth.
"Isa, is there somewhere where we can speak in private?" Sammie asked after Isa had had a moment or so to 'cool down'.
"I don't know." Isa replied quietly. Although the four girls were completely oblivious to it, the rest of the crew had been watching their every move.
"Trance, do it."
"No Beka. You do it."
"No you."
"You."
"You."
"What are you two arguing about?" Rev Bem interrupted them.
"We want to know why Harper is doing that." Trance began.
"But neither of us want to ask." Beka finished.
"I'll do it." Rev offered.
"Will you?" Trance asked joyfully.
"Yes." Rev answered and then walked over to where Harper was, "Harper, what are you doing?" Rev asked the young man. Harper stopped. He had been pacing back and forth, chewing on his thumbnail.
"Huh? What?" He asked the monk.
"You were pacing." Trance informed as she and Beka walked over.
"I was? No I wasn't." He responded.
"Yes, you were. Yah know? Looked kinda like this." Beka said, and then imitated his pacing.
"Ha ha, very funny Beka. Hey, uh, when I passed out, what was wrong?" He tried to change the subject.
"You were sugar deprived, and don't change the subject. What were you doing?" Trance pressed.
"I was thinking, okay?" Harper snapped at them.
"About what?" Trance inquired, unfazed.
"Stuff." He evaded.
"What kinds of stuff?" Beka pressed.
"Stuff that's my problem, not yours."
"If it's a problem we should know about it." Beka pressed harder.
"Perhaps we could help." Rev added.
"Uh, I don't' think so. Yah see, it's --it's personal." Harper wasn't about to give in.
"You think personal is going to stop us." Beka knew that there was something bothering him and she intended to find out what.
"Look I don't' want to talk about it. So can we just drop it, please?"
"Fine, but you sure your okay?" Trance caved.
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm gonna go make sure that Isa's alright." He said after noticing Isa was still pacing, and then he took his leave.
"There's something eating at Harper." Beka said as she walked over and stood next to Trance.
"Yeah, but what are we gonna do about it? He said he didn't want to talk about it." Trance asked, looking at Beka confused. Beka took in what her friend had said and wrinkled her nose in thought. She looked over at Harper. He got to Isa's side, but wasn't standing right next to her, and gently ran his fingers down the length of her arm, from her shoulder to her fingertips, and then he took her hand and pulled her to him. She, in turn, rested her forehead on his shoulder and held his hands with both of hers. Harper kissed the top of her head.
"I think I have an idea." Beka said with a sly grin, while looking at the couple.
**************************************************************************** **************************************************************************** ****************************************************************
"Hey babe. You okay?" Harper asked running a hand down the length of Isa's arm and then taking her hand.
"Yeah." Isa's reply was in the form of a sigh. She rested her head on his shoulder and both of her hands held his one tightly.
"Uh, well, I guess I should introduce myself. I'm, uh, Seamus Harper." He gave them a charming smile and a small wave with his free hand. Sarah smiled:
"I'm Sarah Ulrich. This is Sammiejo Stubb," She indicated to the girl otherwise know as Worm, "And this is Kristen Julson." She indicated to the 'unknown girl'.
"Julson? But that would make you.."
"Isa's sister." Kristen finished for him.
"Oh." He moved his shoulder to get Isa's attention. She lifted her head and looked unenthusiastically at him, "You didn't tell me that you have a sister."
"I'm sorry. I haven't had time to talk with you much." She replied tiredly, "Is there maybe somewhere that I could talk to these guys alone for a bit?"
"Uh, sure. Probably anyway. You could, most likely use the Obs Deck. Uh, follow me." He replied and began to lead the girls over to the rest of the crew, "So, why are you guys here anyway?"
"Well, my darling little sister Isa was supposed to have arrived at Sinti almost three days ago. Do when we received word that she hadn't, the three of us came looking for her." Kristen explained.
"Oh. Well, hey, at least you care enough about her to come looking for her" He said. Isa looked suspiciously at her sister.
