A/N so sorry it has been so long. I have been out of state!! My aunt doesn't have internet!! AHH!!! Oh well. Please review!!
Rhade sat cross legged on the floor with his eyes closed, meditating. He had a lot on his mind. He thought of Beka, the way her voice had held hostility towards Cindee. Or how she had said that Cindee wanted him with such anger. Maybe he was imagining it. In a way, he hoped he wasn't. He sighed. He knew Beka thought he was just another Nietzschean with an I-want-to-pass-on-my-genes-to-a-baby-and-that's-it attitude blah blah blah. Right now, all he wanted was to be with Beka. She was all he thought about. Rhade sighed and decided to try to get some sleep.
Beka was deeply annoyed. She couldn't get to sleep!
"I need something to eat." She said to her empty room. She got up to go to the mess hall. This is so quiet she thought I like it. No alarms, no enemies, just the night crew on the bridge. No annoying idealistic high-guard crew running around like mad bats outta hell. And no one in line for coffee! She thought about her holo-novel. How the two meet fall in love live happily ever after the end. She wished life was that simple.
Rhade woke up suddenly. It was enough that Beka was all he thought about when he was awake but now she was invading his dreams too! Well I doubt I am going to get much sleep tonight. Rhade thought. Might as well walk around. Andromeda is creepy at night. Too peaceful. No annoying noises or clumsy crew. No attacks. All the bad guys must sleep too.
Cindee watched Rhade walking through the corridors on her monitor. She was surprised Rhade didn't notice she planted tiny cameras all over the inside during her visit.
"He can't sleep, I am all he can think about! Don't worry, I will see you soon!" she said to her room.
Rhade walked down the hall towards the mess hall. As soon as he opened the doors, three things happened at once. Rhade froze, Beka jumped three feet in the air and Cindee's eyes popped out as she screamed, "NO NO NO NOT BEKA!!! NO!"
"I am sorry, I didn't mean to startle you." Rhade said quickly.
Beka, blushing, sat back down blushing. "Don't worry It's ok."
"Beka, I have something to confess. I know your feelings about Nietzscheans and I respect them but I want you to hear me out."
Beka's face betrayed no emotion. Don't get your hopes up Valentine.
"I have been thinking about you a lot. At fist I didn't understand why but know I know I care about you in a way more then just an officer to an officer."
"NO!" Cindee screeched. "WHAT ARE YOU DOING?!?!? I KNOW YOU MISS ME BUT DON'T TRY TO REPLACE ME!"
"Are you kidding me?" Beka asked, amazed.
Rhade looked down, hurt. "I understand..."
"Oh no no no!! I didn't mean that. It's just..." Beka decided words just couldn't explain. She took Rhade's hands and kissed him. Rhade looked stunned as Beka broke the kiss. He quickly regained his composure and leaned down and kissed her again.
"NO WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?!?!NO!!!" Cindee screamed. She grabbed her shoe and chucked it at the monitor which broke into a thousand pieces. It was probably good she did that when she did otherwise she would have seen Rhade and Beka stay up almost all night talking and laughing. Beka finally got up saying she had to get some sleep. She gave Rhade a long kiss and left smiling. As soon as she got there, Holo-Rommie popped up again.
"So Beka he isn't just concerned with having children with a Nietzschean woman." Rommie stated.
Beka blushed. "Please don't tell anybody Rommie!" Beka begged.
"Don't worry Beka, your secret is safe with me." Rommie looked happy.
"You seem excited, seeing as you aren't the one who just kissed Rhade." Beka stated.
"I ay be a warship that can destroy nearly anything in my path but I still can be entertained. I also can be happy that two of my crew that are so compatible and would be wonderful with each other are together. It is sweet." Rommie smiled.
Cindee was fuming. "I will get you Beka Valentine. First the incident in medical, then this. I will get you, and when it is over, you will not have your life!"
