"So?" Harper broke the silence.
"What?" Isa asked confused.
"What's the story behind the whole 'Fish control the weather' thing?"
"Oh that. Well, it started beck when I was like five....Yah know, I'm just gonna start at the beginning so you know what I'm talking about. You know what fishing is, right?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. So when I was little my dad would always take me fishing. Of course, I never touched the fish."
"Why not?"
"'Cause they're all slimy and gross and stuff."
"Oh." He giggled slightly.
"Yeah I know. I'm such a girl." Harper laughed at her. "Anyway, back to my story. Now where was I?"
"Your dad used to always take you fishing."
"Oh yeah. He'd been doing that since, well probably since I was born, but that's beside the point. Well, when I was..."
"You really like saying 'well' a lot, don't you?" Dylan said standing in front of them.
"Uh, yeah." Isa blushed slightly.
"Um, boss, how long you been standing there?" Harper asked.
"Uh, since 'there all slimy and gross and stuff.'" He replied.
"Uh, you need something?" Isa asked.
"Rommie said you had something for me." Dylan replied.
"Oh, yeah. It's in my quarters though."
"That's alright. But by all means continue. I'm interested." Dylan told her in a soft voice.
"Okay. Uh, oh jeeze! I forgot where I was again. Dylan you had better have a seat because at the rate I'm goin' this could take all day."
"You said something about when you were..." Harper added, but didn't know anymore so he couldn't finish.
"Oh." Isa remembered, "When I was five, every time we wanted to go fishing the weather was horrible, and every time that we absolutely couldn't go the weather was perfect. So, I told my dad that the fish controlled the weather and they didn't want to get caught."
"That's cute." Harper said and kissed her cheek.
"Yeah I know. I guess it just kinda stuck with me all these years. It also, kinda, applies to my friend Sonya, we call her fish and she actually does have the power to control the weather. Oh, and then I went on and on about Tiny."
"Who's tiny?" Dylan asked curiously.
"Tiny, is imaginary just so you know, he is my eight hundred pound goldfish that lives in my bathtub." Dylan cracked up laughing and as we all know, laughter is like a cold. It's contagious. Within seconds, they were all rolling of the floor laughing uncontrollably. This surprised Trance who walked into Hydroponics (I hope you caught the fact that they were in hydroponics. She walked over to then and gently cleared her throat. Isa looked up and tried to regain her composure. "Hi Trance." She managed to crack out between laughs.
"What's so funny?" Trance inquired. Isa sighed and calmly replied, "I have an eight hundred pound Goldfish living in my bathtub."
"Oh." Trance replied clearly not understanding.
"It's a joke Trance." Harper said once again becoming his normal charming self.
"Oh." Trance acknowledged, "It was funny." She looked awkwardly at the three of them and then hurried out of the room.
"Well," Isa said, "That was probably the first time I have ever felt like such a dork."
"Your not a dork." Harper said sitting next to her and gently stroking her cheek with the back of his hand.
"Harper?" Dylan asked.
"Yeah?" Harper looked at him.
"What's your latest project?" He asked.
"What?" Harper asked.
"I'm trying to make conversation." Dylan replied.
"Oh, well, lately I've just been working on my X-1." Harper explained.
"X-1. What is that again?" Dylan asked.
"It's a plane, isn't it?" Isa spoke up.
"Yeah." Harper replied. He was about to say something else when Trance came back in with a confused look on her face. "Hey Trance. What's up?" Harper asked as she approached.
"I just saw Tyr and some girl making out in the hall." She explained.
"You're kidding!!" Isa exclaimed.
"No." Trance replied.
"Oh I gotta see this!" Isa said and stood up.
"I'm commin' too." Harper said and also stood. "Trance, where were they?"
"Near my quarters." Trance replied.
"What?" Isa asked confused.
"What's the story behind the whole 'Fish control the weather' thing?"
"Oh that. Well, it started beck when I was like five....Yah know, I'm just gonna start at the beginning so you know what I'm talking about. You know what fishing is, right?"
