********Nothing Really********

"Rommie…" He started unsure of what to say.

"Yes Dylan" She moved a bit closer to him so they weren't talking across the room.

"Nothing, never mind," he made for the door.

"You were going to say something…" she moved between him and the door.

"Its nothing… really" he tried to get past her.

"I think its about what happened earlier" she closed the door so he could not get out, she wanted to know what was up, after she was his captain and she had to be aware of any problems.

"About earlier," he tried to look genuinely confused but turned to look at her anyway since he knew he could not get out.

"You seemed uncomfortable when you mentioned room sharing." she started pacing across the ob's deck looking out at the star.

"We shouldn't really be together its against high-guard protocol. High-guard captains and the ships avatar must not have a *sexual*." he pause a second " or anything but a purely proffessinal relationship."

"But the commonwealth fell…"

"300 years ago…"

"There is no more high-guard."

"The commonweath may be gone but we are still bound by our duties as high-guard officers. You are my ship so I *cannot* get involved with you."

They both paced silently for a few minutes avoiding looking into each others eyes.

"Open the door, Andromeda."

She opened the door but did not acknowlage the order.

He left silently resisiting the urge to turn back to her.

Rommie stood looking out at the stars wondering what she could do to make things right. What had she done to make him so upset. Maby she could share a room with Beka or sleep on the sofa in the living area.

"Hes right you know" Andromedas hologram appeared behind her.

She turned to look at herself. "I suppose." she was rather annoyed that she had overheard her conversation with Dylan.

"When we found the Pax Magellanic she had fallen in love with her captain so when he ordered her to destroy herself she disobeyed and killed him… Dylan should have erased her bit he did not because…"

"…I told him not to without an investigation into what caused it. We were then forced to destroy her when she attacked us." A tear ran down her face at the memory.

"Do you want to end up like that…" The holo looked at her.

Rommie ran from the room before anymore could be said and went to her room engaging privacy mode as she entered.
