AN: I'm sorry-sorry-soz! I haven't forgotten anyone. I just got a bit off side…
Any a new chapter of HE is now here…So now certain people (You know who you are!) can stop asking me :P
The Lister lied restlessly on his bed trying to sleep. But how in the name of smeg could he do that? He was Gay and there was no getting away from such a fact.
His thoughts were still concerning Rimmer. He had nothing to hide from him self.
"If I was really 'connected' to Rimmer…" He thought out loud "Then why do we fight so much?"
He remembered hearing a roomer. That people who fight where really showing signs of a affection but he dismissed it because it was – as he put it "Smegging Stupid" but he wasn't sure anymore…
He finally gave up the impossible task of sleeping and left his quarter to take a walk around the new and improved Red Dwarf. Being sure to avoid any Holograms along the way…
"All Problems of the great being of philosophy that is life. Can all be solved within the mind heart and soul of ones living?"
Lister turned around and followed the familiar but unfamiliar voice. Ran into the drive room where Kristine and Kryten where standing in front of one of the many monitors. The monitor in question had a face on it.
Apart from there being a white "Hood" and having the essence of a monk. It appeared to be Holly…
"The path to enlightenment can only be truly found in the journey of oneself." Said 'Holly'
"I can't understand it!" Said Kristine shaking her head. "When we escaped he was fine and now he's acting like this!"
"This must be Holly's 'High' self Miss Kochanski Sir." Explained Kryten "Like I said earlier"
"If it is answers about your feelings that you seek – then you must face with who creates these feelings". Said High Holly who seamed to be staring straight at Lister when he said this.
"Where all the 'Highs' like this?" Asked Kristine "I can't understand a single word he's saying!"
"Yeah they where ALL like that!" A voice shouted and the Dwarfers turned round to see that Cat was also in the drive room. Apparently he was asleep there. "They where the most annoying I've seen. At least HE can't dance!"
"Hold on" Said the Kryten as he jabbed on the drive room keys and in a computer like flash 'High' Holly was replaced by a load of coded numbers which was meaningless to everyone except Kryten. And Holly was restored to his usual self.
"Gordon Bennet! That was a real source of perturbation!" Exclaimed Holly. "Whatever the smeg that means!"
"Thank me for that!" Muttered Cat as he went back to sleep in away that he does.
"Until you fired that thing at me" Continued Holly "Was having a great time. I discovered that the Dwarfs computer has access to the new thing "FF.N" it's called it can be really…"
"Kryten, Krissy…" Said Lister. "Could you give me a moment to…Personally welcome Holly back?" Kryten nodded, "Yes of course sir" And he and Krissy moved on.
Better safe than sorry… Thought Lister as he lightly shook Cat to wake him up.
He wasn't amused.
"Hey man! What you doin'?!"
"I need you to leave…Please Cat." Explained Lister.
"Man I never get a second to myself!!" Moaned Cat as he too left the drive room.
Lister didn't really understand why he was doing this. It was after all a different Holly he wouldn't remember every thing he knew as a "high" would he?
"Listen Hol" He started "I've got a problem, I mean a HUGE problem"
"You're not the only one!" Holly interrupted "There's a writer in here who's chosen to quit this site because too many people where stealing her Ideas… That's a real shame." Holly shook his head in respect.
"No Hol your not listening!" Lister shouted "It's me! I'm experience thing about me self I don't want to! But…" He stopped lost for words. "It's…Pleasurable all the same and fascinating… But I don't know how to handle it!"
"Handle what Dave?" Asked Holly.
"That…
I'm Gay!" Lister let out a sign of relief.
MJN: That's another done. The next chapter should be done soon but remember I have "lied" in the past. But I really don't mean to. And Holly's line about an FF.N member quitting the site because of her stories being ripped off is completely true! So Celestial Night If your reading. I'm really sorry for what those evil thieves did. And still hope you'll change your mind. But if you don't I'll understand but you'll be sadly missed!
