This is chapter two. I'm still writing at about 3 in the morning. Seems to
be the only time that I actually want to write.
I do not own Andromeda, but I own the plot. Why you ask? Cause I do.
Chapter two
When she reached the end of the alleyway she looked at the scene in front of her.
Lots of people were milling about the busy town centre. Stalls were everywhere, selling everything from hats to plasma sonic converters. She looked to the left and saw the blonde woman and man arguing with a stall holder about the price of a ship part.
She walked up to the blonde woman and tapped her politely on the shoulder. Beka turned round and looked expectantly at Trance.
Suddenly Trance was nervous, "Um, I hear you're recruiting. I was wondering if you could consider me."
Beka looked surprised and confused, "Yeah I'm recruiting, but how did you know about it yet. I haven't spread the word."
Trance had to think fast.
"Um, you had that look about you that you needed a new crew member!" Damn, she thought. That was lame.
Beka was buying it though, "Really? Weird, but anyway, you're the first to ask me so I suppose I can give you a tryout. But first tell me why you think you'd be useful on my crew."
"Watch me." Trance said, walking up to the stall holder Beka had been arguing with.
The stall holder was short and fat, but very angry looking. This didn't phase Trance one bit. She smiled her biggest smile and played with a strand of hair.
"Hi!" she chirped.
The man didn't say a thing, just kept staring, angrily.
"My name's Trance and these are my friends here..." she gestured to Beka and Harper, who gave a self conscious wave, "... I think they asked if they could have a Trans-neo generator, the thing is if we don't get it then we won't be able to slipstream, which means I won't be able to get this special present for my mom, because I can only get it at Maghorian drift, and her birthday is next week." She gave a little sigh then forced a tear down her cheek.
The stall holder melted. "It's okay love. Don't cry. You can have the generator, and I'll even lower the price so you can spend more on that present." He smiled and ruffled Trance's hair playfully.
Trance squealed, "Oh thank you sooo much!" She jumped forward and gave him a hug, surprising the man and nearly making him fall over.
She let go and turned to Beka and Harper. The man shouted over to Beka.
"And you can come later and pick it up." He then turned round to another customer and reverted to his gruff man exterior.
Trance skipped up to Beka and waited expectantly.
Beka and Harper were amazed. But Beka made her mind up instantly.
"You're part of the crew, kid." She said, "Now come with us and we'll show you what kind of things we do, and I can show you my ship!"
Beka put her arm round Trance's shoulders and led her forward. Harper hung back a bit when he saw something poke out from underneath Trance's skirt.
He ran up to Beka, "Hey boss! She's got a tail!"
Trance looked over her shoulder and saw her tail sticking out at the bottom of her long skirt.
Oh! She thought, I do!
