Jim Hawking's eyes bulged out as Aisha's lips met his in a soft kiss. He quickly drew away, and turned his head to the side. Aisha giggled playfully, and crawled towards him. She lay her head on his lap, and her hands on her chest. She stared up at Jim, but he didn't want to look at her. "Jim, why won't you look at me?" she whispered to him. He turned his head to look at her, and she smiled at him again. She lifted her head off his lap slightly, and pulled his head down and pressing her lips against his again. This time though, Jim didn't try to draw away. To Aisha's surprise, Jim slowly slipped a hand under her head to hold her lips against his. Aisha slowly closed her eyes, and relaxed under Jim's touch. Jim opened his eyes slowly, and quickly drew away when he realized something. "Is something wrong Jim?" Aisha asked quietly, wondering why he had suddenly drew away from kissing her. Jim looked around for a bit, took one of her hands in his, and led her to the door. "I just remembered that there are cameras in every room of the Outlaw Star, monitoring for safety reasons," he told her quietly, going red in the face. Aisha blinked a few times, then also began to blush. Jim slowly led her out of his room, and out of the Outlaw Star so they could find somewhere that they could be alone with each other.

Suzuka walked slowly along a sidewalk of Sentinel 3. She sighed to herself, wondering if Fred felt the same feelings towards her as she did towards him. It had been more than 6 years when they had first met, she trying to kill him because she was an assassin. She turned the corner, and stopped. She looked up at the building she stopped in front of, and wasn't surprised that it was Fred's office. She decided to see what he was doing, so she slowly walked through the front door. She walked up to his office, and tapped on the door lightly. "Come in," Fred's voice rang from inside. She straightened her kimono, fixed her hair quickly, then slowly moved into the electric eye range, and the door slid open. Fred was looking down at some paperwork, looking like he was working hard. Suzuka slowly walked up to his desk, and placed her hands on top. Fred looked up as she put her hands down, and smiled to himself. "Well, if it isn't my old friend Suzuka. What are you up to?" he asked her, looking up from her hands into her face. She was smiling, and so he smiled back. She slowly slid her hands off, then sat down on the desk. She leaned towards Fred, looking at him intently, while Fred looked back, somewhat scared if she was looking at something. "Is something wrong, Suzuka?" he asked, wondering if he had something on his face from lunch. She slowly slid her hand up to his face, and pulled his lips to hers. She kissed him tenderly, hoping that he wouldn't react in an angry way. She was surprised when he kissed her back, so she deepened the kiss slightly, running her tongue against his lips, begging for entry. After a few minutes, Fred's lips parted, granting entry into his mouth. The two sat there kissing for a long time, just enjoying the time that they had together. Slowly, Suzuka pulled away from Fred, and smiled at him. "I needed to do that. I just couldn't get you out of my mind," she whispered quietly to him. He smiled, and kissed her lightly on the lips. "Neither could I," he replied.
