(A.N. Hello again everyone. I'm back from my VIM trip and, just in case you're wondering, it was great. Except for hauling dry wall up a hellish hill and the whole falling out of the canoe four times thing. But I wrote a lot so you better be ready to read!)

Harper and Isa snuck around the bend in the corridor near Trance's quarters. Tyr had Sammie pinned up against the wall and I don't wanna get into details so………they were makin' out. They had absolutely no idea that Isa and Harper were there. The second Isa saw them she stopped dead in her tracks, and had to bite back a laugh. I mean envision it, big though guy Tyr and petite little Sammie (A.N. You would have to know my friend Worn/Sam, the person that this character is based off of, to understand. Anyway………). Harper came up next to her and also stopped. He had to smile at the sight of the two (A.N. I mean COME ON! It's Tyr and someone who isn't Neitzchean.). Harper exchanged a knowing glance with Isa. Then cleared his throat to get their attention, but they didn't notice. Isa tapped him on shoulder and whispered in his ear.

"Allow me." She said. She took a small step forward. "Hey!!" She yelled loudly. Both Tyr and Sam visibly jumped at the sound of her voice causing a small laugh to emit Harper's lips (A.N. Oh those lips **gets a faraway look on face**) which in turn made Tyr growl at him. Isa had a smile across her face and you knew that she was really trying not to laugh.

"Isa what is so funny?" Sammie asked glaring at her friend.

"It's just you **Points to Sam** and him **Points to Tyr**." Isa explained trying desperately not to laugh, but failed miserably breaking down as soon as she finished her sentence. Sammie got as very insulted look on her face and looked over at Tyr, who in turn just shrugged his broad shoulders.

"Isa, it's not that absurd." Sammie defended. "Why is it so funny?"

"Because……"Isa explained calmly. "Okay the thing is that you've got Tyr," She held her hand as far above her head as she could. "And then there's you." She brought her hand down so it was only a few inches above her own head. "I mean I'm not against the two of you, it's just. You've got size issues."

"Yeah. I mean, Tyr is huge and Sam is, well, not very big." Harper added.

"Boy, it's not my problem that you and your mate are vertically challenged. That's because of your inferior genes." Tyr stated plainly.

"Hey! My girls' genes are not inferior." Harper said taking Isa into his arms, "Mine on the other hand……"

"Aren't inferior either." Isa said cutting him off and leaning into him.

"Thanks baby." Harper said smiling at her.

"You're welcome sweetheart." She replied and then kissed him.

"Well, how come……" Sammie began but was cut off by Rommie's holographic personification forming.

"Do you know what time it is?" Rommie asked the group sternly.

"Well, no." Harper replied after glancing around the group to see if anyone actually knew.

"Allow me to enlighten you. It's near midnight and both Harper and Tyr have early shifts on command." Rommie informed.

"How early?" Sam asked.

"Approximately six hours." Tyr answered.

"Well then, we should be getting you to bed, shouldn't we?" Isa asked Harper sweetly. She held him by the hips (he still had his arms wrapped around her) and she kissed him.

"Who's we?" He asked her.

"Me and the voices in my head." Isa replied.

"So, does that mean you'll be coming to bed with me?" Harper asked Isa.

"I'll walk with you to your room." She replied.

"Okay." He said. "Lets go." He took her hand, but before they began to walk away, Isa turned back to Sammie with a sly smile on her face.

"Hey worm, I know Tyr's a Neitzchean and all, but still." She said.

" 'But still' what?" Sam asked her friend.

"But still, don't work him too hard." Isa told her.

"I'll try not too, Shmeis." Sam said with a wink.

"Shmeis?" Harper asked turning Isa to look at him.

"It's a nickname that Sammie and Sonya came up with." Isa explained.

"Weren't you leaving?" Tyr asked, annoyance shown clearly in his voice.

"Yeah, come on baby." Harper said, again taking Isa's hand, "Hey Tyr?"

"What boy?"

"Don't have too much fun." Harper told him and then wiggled his eyebrows. This earned only a growl from the towering man. "Alright, alright. I get the picture. We're going." Harper said as he and Isa began to walk away.

"Night worm, night Tyr." Isa called as she and Harper walked away.

"Nigh Isa, night Harper." Sammie called back. When Harper and Isa were out of site Tyr pulled Sammie into a bruising kiss. "Is that a promise of things to come?" Sam breathed when they broke apart. Tyr answered by pulling Sam into his quarters. Thing went on from there and you can just imagine what happened.

"So what do you think that Kristen's up to?" Beka asked the other occupants of command.

"What makes you think she's up to anything?" Melissa asked.

"Yeah, maybe she's just worried about her sister." Jessica added. Melissa and Jessica were twins who, like Harper, escaped from earth. They were only about a year older than Harper. Both were Beka's height, with gray eyes and blonde hair. They both also pilots and damn good ones in Beka's opinion.

"I don't buy it." Beka said.

"Buy what?" Trance asked as she and Dylan walked into command.

"That Kristen is here because she's worried about Isa." Holly informed them from her spot at the station next to Beka's.

"I don't either." Dylan stated moving towards where Beka was.

"I don't think Sarah is either." Jessica said.

"I don't' think she is either Jess." Beka said.

"How can you tell them apart?" Dylan asked beka, gesturing towards the twins.

"They're totally different." Beka said.

"No their not." Dylan told her.

"Yes they are, Melissa has braces. Besides Dylan, they're my pilots. I need to know which one's which." Beka explained.

"Oh." Was all Dylan said.

"Sammie though, seems genuinely concerned." Trance added from her spot next to Holly.

"Yea. She really seems to care." Melissa agreed. Out of the corner of her eye Trance caught Holly staring at Dylan.

"If you care for him so much why don't you just tell him how you feel?" Trance asked Holly.

"Yeah I think I'll do that." Holly replied. "Dylan, may I speak with you privately for a moment?"

"Uh, sure Holly." Dylan replied and they walked out into the corridor. "What do you want to talk with me about?"

"Well it's just something I need to tell you, but I don't know how." She began.

"Just say it."

"I kind of have these, well there, uh, feelings for you."

"Really?"

"Yeah, and I have it on good authority that you feel the same way about me."

"Wha………How do you………Harper!"

"Please, don't be angry with him."

"I'm not, and yes I do feel the same way."

"Really?"

"Really."

"Yay!!" Holly squealed and gave him a big hug which he gratefully returned.
