~/A.N./~ Hey everybody! It's me, Kitty! Thanks to all of you who have
been reading my other story Love Lurks In Mysterious Places. This one is a
little different, even though there are many of the same characters in this
story. Oh and just so you know, I'm into pinning Harper with characters of
my own, probably because these characters are like me and I am like
hopelessly in love with Harper. Therefore, ladies and gentlemen I give you
'Oh Happy Day.' Oh, and just in case, your wondering this is with the
gold Trance and Tyr has no bone blades.

"Where the hell is he!?!" Beka Valentine, first officer of the Andromeda Ascendant asked aggravated as she paced the length of the doors to the hanger deck. Harper was late and for once in her life she was actually looking forward to going to a planet, especially since it meant that she got to spent one whole month just relaxing in the sun and hitting on sexy surfer guys.
The senior crew was due for some shore leave and now with a crew of over four thousand they would finally be able to take it. They were going to be staying on a planet with a little something for everyone. The planet was called Orisis, it had the best surfing waters in the galaxy (for Harper), dazzling gardens (for Trance), thousands of gyms and fitness centers (for Tyr), colleges and military bases (for Dylan), the best A.I. attractions in the Universe (for Rommie), and tons of night clubs and beaches (for Beka).
"Beka, he's on his way. He tends to pack way too much, but it is very amusing to watch." Rommie, the ship made flesh, replied as she stood idly by watching Beka pace.
"Isn't Harper here yet?" Captain Dylan Hunt asked as he walked back from the Maru with Trance not far behind him.
"No, not yet." Rommie replied calmly. She may be completely uninterested in Harper's flirting, but she had to admit that he was a truly gifted person and an amazing engineer.
"We're going to be late." Trance whined. Just as she finished Seamus Harper, chief engineer of the Andromeda Ascendant came running down the corridor in their direction. Well, he was running as best he could with a duffle bag almost as big as he was packed full of only God knows what in one hand and a surfboard bigger than he was in the other.
"Hi guys." He stated breathlessly as he reached the group. He dropped his duffle bag on the floor and stood before his fellow crewmembers desperately trying to catch his breath.
"So you finally got here, huh?" Beka asked as she stopped her pacing and walked over to him.
"Yeah, just barely. You guys wouldn't leave without me though, would yah?" He answered at last getting his breath back.
"You are all prepared to go Captain. Have a safe journey and a wonderful leave." Lieutenant Alexandra Sphinx told Dylan as she approached after finishing preparing the Maru for departure.
"Thank you Lieutenant. We'll be back in a month, but until then I expect you to keep things running smoothly here." Dylan told her with a smile.
"I will Captain." She replied.
"How many times do I have to tell you? Call me Dylan." Dylan informed her.
"I'm sorry, it just feels weird. I prefer calling you Captain, if you don't mind." Alexandra responded.
"It's fine. Okay, lets go then. Harper let me carry that." Dylan said, then took Harper's bag and headed for the Maru.
"Okay." Harper said as he watched Dylan walk off with his bag, but instead of protesting that he could carry it he picked up his surfboard and turned to Alexandra. "See you in a month Alex. Just make sure those grease monkeys of mine don't mess stuff up."
"I'll be sure to keep them in line." Alex replied with a smile. Harper returned her smile and took off toward the Maru. Alex stood by, looking out the window waving as the Maru left the hanger and headed for Orisis. "God, I hope I can do this." She said quietly to herself as she turned and began walking towards command.
