I took a moment to collect my brains from my nether regions.
"Just, who the hell are you?"
"Well, I'm Trance of course!"
"How'd you get on my ship?"
"You stole me remember? Are you feeling okay?"
I had to admit I had felt better. I braced my hand on the doorway for support
and willed the walls to quit shaking.
"Listen..er."
The purple girl flicked her tail and smiled,
I tried to continue.she was very distracting. I was finding it hard to think. "This is my ship and I'm not going to take you back! I need the money and."
"I know, and you lost your friend..." Her smile faded. "You've lost so much."
Was she trying to confuse me? What the heck I am I going to do?
The room began to swirl. It was a little like being inside a martini. My empty stomach gave a final complaint.
"It's okay though, this is just the beginning." She comforted. "You look tired why don't you join me." She tapped the bed with the palm of her hand invitingly.
Whether it was an innocent gesture or not, I felt the blood drain from my face. Then I did the only dignified thing any man in my position could do. I fainted.
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
I couldn't have been out long but in that small amount of time my out look on the world changed.
The purple girl had my shirt off and was giving me a sponge bath. I'm sorry but that just isn't the way I normally wake up. Not, that didn't wish it were.
When she saw I was awake she smiled a smile that literally sparkled. Then she offered me some dry bread and juice. I ate greedily. My stomach protested the invasion of foreign matter but there was no way I was going to lose it in front of the babe.
She then took one of the fancy napkins and bandaged my minor scraps and bruises. I know so guys wouldn't have stood for that. They would have gotten all macho and stuff but, some girls really like get off on it and who was I to say no.
I watched here with awe. Her hair was streaked with rainbow colours. He skin glistened .shiny. "Am I dreaming? You're too beautiful to be real."
She gave a small mysterious smile. "You're sweet." She shrugged her shoulders nonchalantly. "I'm just little ol'Trance Gemini. You're every day purple girl with a tail."
I started to laugh. The situation was beyond absurd. That when my old friend paranoia kicked in. I stood up quickly, untangled myself from the silk sheets and nearly tipped over. Apparently, I was still a little light headed.
"You work for that prince guy or the General don't you!? You're going to kill me for stealing the ship!"
The purple girl looked confused. "Why would I kill you? I've been waiting for you?"
"Don't use your twisted grape logic on me lady! You...you want to sell me as your sex slave or something!"
Trance burst in to laughter. But she quickly tried to stifle it behind her hand. "I'm sorry but no." A final giggle escaped before she could regain her control. "I find things for people who need them."
"I found this ship all by my self! I don't care if your are some purple goddess or something! You're not getting a piece of my cut!"
"I'm not here for that. I'm here to find something else all together."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
"I found you and you were lost."
"I thought you said you found things for people who need them?"
"That's right I do."
"Well, I don't know who you are but I know you are lying to me?"
A hurt frown flickered across the purple girl's face. "I'm not lying."
Oh oh. I could swear I saw tears welling up in her eyes. Sure enough the tears started to spill down her face. I leaned wearily against the bulkhead and rubbed my hand over my face. I never knew what to do in these kinds of situations. The girls on earth never cried very much. They were to empty. The tears wouldn't help. As a result I didn't have much experience. "Ah, come on don't cry! Listen, I know you're lying because . well, you see nobody needs me."
I wrapped my arms around my body at a complete loss of what to do.
"You poor thing!" She sobbed and leapt forward to bull me in to a lung- crushing hug. The tears on Trance's face left little violet trails all the way down to her chin. She sniffed loudly. "I wasn't lying!" she hiccupped. "Lot's of people need you. you just don't know it yet. You know it might be cause sometimes you're not very nice."
Was I just insulted?
I squirmed out of her grasp. I needed a moment to breath. "Umm, Listen Trance. I need to check on the flight pattern. I'll be right back."
I made a break for the cockpit.
Gads, the phrase 'out of the fry pan, in to the fire' had never meant so much to me before. I sunk in to the pilot's chair. Think Harper, think. Back on earth things were simpler. More brutal, hell yes, but simpler. Beka always knew what to do. That was the first allowed my self a true moment of grief. I hadn't realized how much I had grown to depend on her. As I realized I missed a burning acidy feeling grew in my stomach. After my parents died I had cut my emotions off. Hell, I hadn't allowed myself to get to close to anyone for such a long time. Not, even my best friend,
my cousin Brendan.
Now here I was, wishing for some freighter Captain I barley knew. A lady, who obviously cared nothing for me and who had dumped me when I was no longer useful. Why should I care then? When had I allowed myself to become so freakin' vulnerable again? I wiped my face with the back of my sleeve. Maybe I was just more tired then I thought. I allowed my self a small smile. She had been one cool lady though.
"What'cha thinking about?"
I jumped despite myself. "Shit! Trance!"
"You shouldn't swear."
"Well quit scaring me half to death then!"
"If I'm going to help you you're going to have to be nicer to me."
"Help. I don't even know what.who you are!"
"I told you I'm Trance."
"Gah!!!" I threw my hands in the air. She was impossible. Right about then I was wishing I had my Gauss gun.
She reached over my shoulders and started punching in new co-ordinates.
"Hey!"
"We should go here."
"Listen, I could have had a plan!"
"But, you didn't"
"Well I could've! Besides how do I know you're not taking me to some remote planet to kill me."
She shrugged. "I guess you don't." She looked at me sadly again. "Haven't you ever trusted anybody?"
I was more then a little bit disturbed. She seemed to now way too much about me.
"Are you some kind of empath or something?"
"Or something." She hedged.
"Well if you want to get to where ever the hell, you're taking us I better go fix the engine's or it'll take for ever to get anywhere." I stopped confused by my own sentence. "Gah!" once again I threw my arms in to the air with disgust. Being with this purple chick was giving me a headache.
I stormed off to find engineering. I had a feeling that whether I fixed the engines or not it was going to me a long trip.
