Girls Week

Shalimar lie curled up in Emma's arms in bed as she awoke. She snuggled herself closer to her lover and rested her head against the psionics'.

"So where are we gonna go for our anniversary?" Emma asked as she kissed Shalimar on the head.

"I told you, hun, it's a surprise."

"This is the first time I've ever celebrated a one month anniversary," Emma said with a smile as she looked down at the feral.

"It's been so great; I can't wait to celebrate it." Shalimar smiled and kissed Emma passionately.

"Why can't I know? I mean, I spent all day yesterday packing for a week long trip to a place I don't even know of. I brought shorts and pants 'cause I didn't know which I'd need." She smiled sweetly at Shalimar so she could be sure she wasn't complaining the feral wanted to go away with her.

"I'll give you a hint," Shalimar grinned playfully, "we're not staying in just one place."

Emma's curiosity peeked as she thought about where in the world Shalimar could be taking her.

"Is it one of the places I suggested?" She asked as she hoped maybe she could get some more information. "I'd really like to go to Greece, or Italy, or France and take one of those romantic boat rides." She smiled and batted her eyes at Shalimar.

"You'll just have to wait and see," Shalimar said as she pulled herself out of bed. "But, we do need to get going as soon as possible. So," she reached over to Emma to gesture for her to get up as well, "up we go." Emma took her hand and got out of bed. Shalimar headed to the dresser and began looking for an outfit. Emma headed into the bathroom to brush her hair and teeth.

"So is the Helix ready for us to go?" Emma called from the bathroom as she ran her hairbrush through her misplaced locks.

"We're not taking it," Shalimar called from the bedroom and she started putting her bra and underwear on.

"So how are we getting there?"

"We're driving, honey. Besides we can't just take the Helix what if the guys need it?"

Emma wondered how close this place must be if they were going to drive there instead of fly. She washed off her toothbrush and spit into the sink. She turned to wipe her mouth on the towel and headed back into the bedroom. She walked over the Shalimar in her bra and panties and wrapped her arms around the feral, pulling her in close for an embrace.

"You mean I have to spend all the traveling time being cooped up in a car with you," she smiled s she teased the feral and matted her hands through her hair. Shalimar smiled and teased the psionic back.

"How about I strap you to the hood so you can feel the breeze?" Shalimar grinned at the psionic and slowly kissed her lips.

"You can strap me down if ya want," Emma smiled and kissed the ferals' nose softly, "but you hafta wait 'til we get there first."

"Well then," Shalimar began, "we better get moving." She kissed Emma's lips once more and reluctantly broke their embrace to resume getting dressed. Emma opened the drawers and began to pull out clothes for herself to wear as she began to get dressed as well.

When Shalimar was completely dressed she turned to Emma beside her.

"Last night I asked Brennan and jess to load up the car for me and give it a check up before we left. So I'm gonna go see how that went ok, be back soon." Shalimar leaned over to kiss her love goodbye and headed out of the room. She made her way into the lab where she found Brennan and Jesse hovering over a computer screen.

"Hey, guys, whatcha doin'?" She asked as she headed over to stand behind them.

"I was just putting the finishing touched on this new game I programmed," Jesse answered as he turned to look at Shalimar.

"Cool. So did you guys get a chance the check the car for me?"

"Sure did," Brennan answered as he turned from the screen, "it's all set. You girls are gonna have a great time huh?"

"That's the plan." Shalimar smiled as she turned and headed back to the door. "Thanks for your help."

"Anytime," he answered, "just bring me back something."

Shalimar made her way back to the bedroom and entered.

"Hey," she said as she stepped through the bedroom door, "almost ready?"

"Yeah," Emma replied as she fixed herself up in the mirror, "I can't wait to see this surprise." She smiled and headed over to Shalimar's awaiting arms. Shalimar placed a sweet kiss on her lips and wrapped her arm around her shoulder.

"Great, then let's get goin'." Shalimar held her close as they left the room and headed down the hall.
