"Good food!" Beka said as she digged in to her burger and fries. Dylan smiled at her across the table.
"Should be, Cost a nightsiders ransom" Dylan replied.
"Burgers great" Beka said.
"At least its not
squid, Hey beka!" Dylan laughed, before tucking in to his steak
and fries. Beka dipped one of her fries into the ketchup, and munched
on it.
"Here" Dylan said, Reaching over the table and
wiping away the tomato ketchup that was now smeared on beka's cheek.
Dylan proceeded to sit and look at Beka as she ate.
"Problem?"
Beka asked after noticing that Dylan was stareing at her.
"No, Just thinking about how great you look" Dylan replied, taking a sip of his wine. Beka laughed and bowed her head. "What?" Dylan continued while laughing "Whats wrong with me telling you that you look great? I mean, its the truth".
"Well, big guy, you dont look to shabby yourself" Beka said as she looked up at him.
"More wine?" Dylan asked.
"You better not be TRYING to get me drunk dylan" Beka smiled.
"Why beka, Do you get up to things you wouldent normaly get up to when your drunk?" Dylan replied.
"Dont we all?"
Beka asked.
"Yeah... i have been known to get up to some
things when im drunk that i wouldent normaly do" Dylan replied
with a smile "Such as.. i dunno, kiss people i normally
wouldent... like, say, my freinds..."
"I'll drink to that" Beka said "Might be fun". Dylan and Beka both laughed as they clashed wine glasses.
"This is the place" Trance told harper, pointing up at the resturaunt sign "Beka told me to meet her here, she said she would be with Dylan".
"Oh, fine by me, im starving" Harper replied. The two freinds entered the restoraunt together, and began to look around for Dylan and Beka. Soon enough Harper spotted them, sitting in the far corner next to the water feature.
"Great!" Trance said exitidly "We can hear the relaxing sound of the water as we eat! I love the water!"
"Yeah.. Thats.. thats great Trance" harper said sarcasticly. He and Trance approached Dylan and Bekas table only to find the two were not quite themselves. Dylan was sticking fries up his nose, saying that he was the bogie man, and Beka was laughing her head off. They were drunk.
"I am the bogie man"
Dylan said "Uga uga".
"I am the bogie queen"
Beka cried, before bursting out laughing. Trance saw it as a game and
joined in.
"I am the bogie princess!" Trance cried,
Making Dylan and Beka burst out laughing.
"No, The bogie queen would be green not purple" Dylan laughed.
"No, She would be Red!" Beka cried.
"Green you fool!" Dylan argued. Harper felt pretty embarresed.
"Hey, err, Trance, Lets... sit somewhere else. I dont really want to be shown up by these two...drunks" Harper said, he held trance by the shoulders and steered her away from Dylan and Beka.
"But i wanna join
in!" Trance moaned as Harper pushed her away.
"Trance,
they are making themselves look like fools. Are you sure you want
people to know that our freinds are the only drunks in the whole
resturaunt? Its embarresing..." Harper replied.
The two freinds took a seat at a table located the other side of the restaraunt. Trance smiled to Harper.
"So Harper" She said "What was it you wanted to tell me again?" She had a smile on her face and a twinkle in her eye, Harper knew that what he was about to tell her would soon wipe the smile of her face, and he felt pretty down because of it.
"Trance..." He started after taking a deep breath "Today... After you went into the... er.. changing area... you know, when we were ice skating... i.. um.. i kinda whitnessed somthing".
"Oh" Trance said, a confused expression on her face.
"Well" Harper continued "I kinda saw Dave, He... um..." Harper paused. He saw Trances face lit up at the mention of Dave. He really wanted to tell her that he had seen Dave trying it on with another woman, but he did'nt have it in him. Trance was as happy as can be, and he knew that telling her would really upset her. He was too good of a freind to spoil her evening, not to mention the fact that he hated seeing her sad.
"Yes?" Trance asked.
"He... Um... He kinda, did another amazing trick!" Harper lied.
"Yeah he's great at that is'nt he. He's great on the ice skater. Im so lucky to have him as a boyfreind, hes a great guy". Trance said.
"Yeah, a great guy" Harper lied. Under the table he had his fists clentched.
"What would the two young lovers like to order?" A voice from behind them suddenly asked. Harper and Trance turned to see the waiter with his flexi, waiting for them to order their food.
"Oh, No... Were not lovers" Trance laughed. The waiter looked pretty surprised.
"Unfortinatly..." Harper muttered under his breath.
"Well, Its just, You two looked so cute together" The waiter continued.
"Err, What planet is the flaming Space-Duck from?" Harper asked as he looked at the menu.
"We have fresh imports from the lakes of Titan, Yavin 5 and Tula" The waiter replied.
"Um... Tita... No... Tula please" Harper requested. "Oh and a side dish of salad for two, for me and the cutie-purple-pie here".
"Ill have, um, chicken and mushroom soup please... im not really that hungry" Trance said, she turned to harper "Me and Dave ate only a few hours ago".
"Coming right up" The waiter said before making his way towards the kitchen.
"Hey harp, What difference does the planet that the space duck comes from make?" Trance asked.
"Well, On Titan, the lakes are made up of Liquid Methane" Harper replied. "Liquid Methane leaves a pretty unpleasent aftertaste in your mouth".
At the other side of restaruaunt, Dylan and Beka were in fits of laughter.
"...and so i told him, i said, that aint a stick of rock, thats my spaceship!" Beka finished. Dylan leant over the table and kissed Beka on the cheek.
"Ohh, That felt niiice" a very drunk Beka replied, while pouring out yet another glass of wine. She then stood up to pour Dylan a glass, But ended up kissing him instead.
"So did that" Dylan replied as she sat down.
"I told you that when i get drunk i kiss my freinds" Beka said smiling.
"Who says we have to remain just freinds?" Dylan replied with a chuckle.
"Come to think of it, Nobody" Beka said before walking over to Dylan and kissing him again.
"Now thats what i like to hear" Dylan replied before swiging another glass of wine. He stood up and approached Beka, and slapped her on the shoulder. "Im thinking im up for an early night" Dylan said.
"Sounds fine to me" Beka replied before standing up and hugging Dylan, who kissed her back.
"Those two seem to be getting on well" Trance said to harper, pointing over to where Dylan and Beka were. Harper looked over to see them with their hands all over each other, kissing.
"Woah, i had no... i had no idea those two were..." Harper said, he was pretty shocked.
"They make a great couple..." Trance replied with a smile as she watched them with a twinkle in her eye.
"Theres proof right there" Harper said.
"Huh?" Trance replied.
"Proof, Proof that long time freinds can become lovers... If you see what im getting at Trance" Harper continued.
"Harper, Im not promising anything, But i dont think that you and me will ever become anything other than best freinds" Trance replied.
"Im.. Sorry.. sorry
to hear that Trance" Harper said.
"I know harper..."
Trance replied.
"Trance i wanna ask you a queston..." Harper started.
"Umm, Shoot". Trance said.
"Do you... Do you, find me attractive?" Harper asked, feeling a little embarresed.
"Well yeah, Your a great looking guy. And you have a beautiful personality" Trance said. Harper was surprised, and a little pleased.
"Thanks Trance it.. means a lot" Harper said. Harper and Trance watched as Dylan and Beka left the restauraunt, hand in hand, and began to make their way towards their room.
"I wonder if their gonna regret whats about to happen in the morning?" Harper said.
"No, I think deep down they both knew what the other one wanted" Trance said... She was frowning - staring at the floor as if she was in deep thought.
"Umm, You ok Trance?" Harper asked after noticing that she dident quite seem herself.
"I think that deep, deep down, we all do..." Trance said calmly.
