AN: This I thought of recently. I love Harper/Trance pairings so this is a little moment I wish they had on screen. Takes place during the Dissonant Interval Part 1 as Beka, Trance, Harper, and Rommie gather in the Maru. Contains spoilers for the season finale, The World Turns All Around Her, and that episode where Golden Trance makes her appearance. I looked it up because I couldn't remember. It was Ouroboros.

Trance Gemini looked at the three people who had become her friends. She had no idea these people would become such an important part of her life, but when she underwent her transformation and became the top Avatar of the sun it had become so.

It had all come down to this moment, Dylan wanted to help protect the Arkology from the Magog, but Beka was determined to leave. Trance wanted so much to believe this would all work out but she knew it wouldn't happen.

"Come on boss how can you leave?" Harper asked, his eyes pleading.

Beka turned to him, "because I can and if I have to I will I'm not going to die defending some idea of peace I have no use for."

Trance stared at her friend, Beka had hired her even though Trance had been evasive about her back round and soon Beka became almost like a mother figure. Rommie was an interesting person and they had developed a relationship of mutual respect, and a vow to watch each other's backs.

And finally Harper her best friend, their bond had been immediate and together they completed each other, offering qualities the other lacked. They would fight and make up as two friends would.

Soon Trance realized her feelings had become more than friendship, but she had been too afraid to say something. Then he was infected by the Magog and he died. She had then watched the universe collapse in chaos as she watched Dylan's mission fail.

Shortly after her transformation thirty years after that, she had seen her opportunity to make things right and had switched places with her younger self. No one had really trusted her at first but she could deal with that.

It was Harper's mistrust that had hurt most of all; he hadn't wanted anything to do with her at first. But after a few months and her efforts they slowly regained their friendship.

Trance returned to the present where Harper was speaking, "it'll all work out and we'll be together again right Trance?"

All three of them looked at her and Trance shook her head sadly, "No we won't not like this not ever again."

"Maybe in another universe?" Harper asked.

"It's up to the universe itself."

Trance tried to keep the sadness out of her voice. Beka sighed, "I'm not staying if any of you want to leave say so now."

Harper shook his head, "I'm sorry boss but I want to see this thing through." Rommie nodded in agreement.

Rommie left the Maru followed by Harper and Trance. "You sure this won't work out?" He asked.

Trance shook her head sadly then tears began to flow. Harper embraced her, "hey I'm sorry I didn't mean..."

"No it wasn't you Harper, I wish I didn't have my abilities but I do."

"I've grown to like them."

"Harper I told Dylan the truth about me, I am an Avatar of the sun."

Harper tried to process what she just said, "I never thought you'd tell me who you truly were."

"I wanted to but I couldn't but it's who I am."

Harper cupped her chin, "You're Trance Gemini my best friend."

She looked up into his eyes, "I wished it could've been more...I have feelings for you..."

She was cut off by Harper's lips on hers, and for a moment she forgot everything, who she was, why they were here, what was about to happen. She put her arms around him and kissed him passionately.

Just then alarms began to blare and Andromeda appeared before them, "Detecting Magog."

Harper kissed her again, "Goodbye my golden love."

Trance had loved all his qualities, his sense of humor even the rare times he was serious. Damn this universe!

"Farewell Harper." Trance tried to remain strong as she watched the man she love walk down the hall and out of her life, maybe for good.

It wasn't fair.

AN: Hope it wasn't awful, I'm more familiar with seasons one and two but after that I missed some episodes. This was something I just wanted to get out of my system.
