I'm planning (about) 6 chapters for this. I got a few chapters done already as I was out "sick" today (didn't do a paper for class). So I got a lot of unrelated school writing done. Should probably start my paper soon though…
Oh. And I know that all those generations are between them so it's not really gross. But I'm going with, like, they just found out that Beka is his ancestor. I mean, if by some bizarre freak of nature I were related in that way to a guy I knew I would freak out. Down the line I'd be like yeah, we're not really family. But at first I'd be 'EW, I'm related to the guy I like!' And thank you for the reviews, they light up my day! You guys rock.
The DNA Blues"I think I'm going to be sick."
I dart out of command, choke it down, and manage to make it to my quarters before collapsing.
Beka is my ancestor.
This is just wrong in so many ways.
No one should be able to say that they know their great-great-great-however-many-greats-great-grandmother.
No.
One.
Shudder.
Just don't think, punch something. Ok, there goes my vase. Good, the moral is violence is helpful and Beka is related to you so you have to be respectful.
"I need a drink."
And I have nothing in here.
"Why did I have to stop drinking again?"
Maybe none of this is real. Maybe Dylan is playing some sick joke on us. Maybe I disappeared because Peter was Drago's ancestor. Maybe this is all some sick dream and I'll wake up passed out in the bar. Maybe I'm dead and this is hell.
I would be so lucky.
And it's not like she's directly related to me. Just way back. But she exists now.
Time loops give me headaches.
I have to have something to drink hidden around here somewhere.
And when I beat up Peter I wanted to kill him for hurting Beka. She's my friend. That was the only reason. I'm protective of my friends. My friends are my family.
Only it's literal this time.
But maybe it was more of an 'I have to protect my grandmother' thing that made me do it. And wanting to know about her and her family, maybe it was interest in my heritage.
Maybe a drink will make this all go away.
I should stop thinking.
Shut down my brain.
I probably want a drink as it runs in my blood; Beka's addicted to flash.
How is this even possible?
My life was so black and white before I met Dylan. Maybe I should use the route of ages to go back and stop myself from ever meeting him, ever seeing the Andromeda. Ever taking that mission of transporting Tyr.
I have worked with someone who is responsible for my even being.
I have flirted with someone who is responsible for my existence.
"I think I need to vomit now."
