Atop the observation dome Rimmer made sure to lock the only door leading to it. He didn't want any interruptions, not even from Lister; who was in away the reason he came up here on the first place. Rimmer came up here when ever something was bothering him, like when his father died peacefully in his jeep. But this was different;

However he solved this problem it would defiantly affect his life.

The problem was Lister... No wait the problem was HIMSELF!

He wasn't sure at first. But now that, that jumped up mechanoid gimboid had returned his "memories" he knew for sure.

All the times he'd acted like he hated Lister he'd been living a lie.

He thought about how he felt around him, even a world hated smeghead like him felt like he had visited heaven when he though about Lister.

But when he opened his eyes he was back in hell.

He thought to him self as music started to enter his mind as if something was trying to tell him something.

"I want him to know these feelings..." Rimmer thought "But how do I tell him?"

He looked up and saw Red Dwarf was now level with an angel like moon. Much more beautiful than what could have ever have been seen on earth. He heard music again and was thankful no one could hear him.

He didn't anyone to hear him at least not yet...

Out here in the quiet of the night

Beneath the stars, and moon

We both know we've got somethin' on our minds

We won't admit, but it's true

You look at me, I look away

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,

But I don't know how to start

I wanna tell you, but now

I'm afraid that you might break my heart

Oh why should anything so easy ever

Be so hard to do

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,

And to say that ...

"Shut up!!" Rimmer thought to himself. "Don't think this! Control your self Arnie!!" but he couldn't stop. He kept going...

I practice all the things that I would say

Line by line, every word

I tell myself today to take a feet a day

But every time, I lose my nerve

"Story of my life!" thought Rimmer. "Even the simplest things I smeg up!"

I look at you, you look away

"Of course... Who Wouldn't?"

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,

But I don't know how to start

I wanna tell you, but now,

I'm afraid that you might break my heart

Oh why should anything so easy ever

Be so hard to do

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,

And to say that...

That's all he could manage even on his own.

"I'm so pathetic!" He thought. He knew ACE wouldn't have had any trouble doing this... even if it was "different". He thought about how angry he got when Lister acted like a good "Friend" to Ace...

He knew now. He was scared he might be MORE than a friend to Ace...

He looked at the moon again. It gave him another musical urge...

"No stop please!" Rimmer pleaded to him self. But it was to late...

Why?

Why do you turn away

It must be, you're afraid like me

I try, but I can't pretend that I,

Don't feel for you, the way I do,

Can't you see...?

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling,

But I don't know how to start

I wanna tell you, but now,

I'm afraid that you might break my heart

Oh why should anything so easy ever

Be so hard to do,

I wanna tell you what I'm feeling...

"That's it!" Rimmer though. "I'm off inside! There must something in the space that's affecting me... Yes that must be it."

Rimmer went back to Red Dwarf and went to sleep off these disturbing thoughts...

AN: Sorry about this... But I though it's good for this story. A REAL chapter will appear sometime later...
