Fairy Tales

Harper started to wipe down the tables with an old rag, and Trance couldn't tell if it was either making no difference to the table, or actually making it dirtier. She sighed softly; all that she wanted was to spend some time with Harper. It wasn't her fault she never spent time with him anymore. She was always with Dylan because it was safer on the Andromeda. But even before that, she knew, at least she thought she knew, she hadn't been so close to Harper.
Had she really been so determined to create that perfect possible future that she let her relationships with everyone but Dylan go the way of her sparkly purpleness?
She hoped not.
"Harper?"
"What Trance?"
"What do you want from me?"
At this he stopped what he was doing and turned to face her once again, confusion shining in his eyes. "What do ya mean Trance?"

"What do you want from me? Dylan wants me to remember everything. Beka wants me to be okay and be her friend again. Rhade wants me to remember how to avoids trouble. Andromeda wants me to think of a way to get Rommie back. Doyle wants to know everything about me. And you, what do you want?"

"I want you to be happy Trance. And I'm not saying any of that stuff would be bad. Everybody knows how much I miss Rommie. And you remembering all of us would be wonderful. But you're my friend Trance, and if you're happier this way, which ya sometimes seem to be, then maybe you're this way so you can be happy.'

"But then won't you be sad because I won't remember you?"

"Well, yeah maybe Trance. But then we can make new memories so it will be okay."

"Oh."

Silence again covered the room as Harper went back to work and Trance watched him moving about.

"So I shouldn't try to remember?"

"That's not what I'm saying."

"But you just said."

"I know what I said."

"Dylan says that I should just- "

"Oh shut up about Dylan already! It's always Dylan says this and Dylan says that. I'm the freaking genius around here why doesn't anybody ever ask me my opinion!"
