Late that evening Kriss wandered back to her quarters, she was happy and satisfied. She knew that she wouldn't walk in on Yvonne and Arnold because Arnold had just walked in on her and Dave
"Hello Yvonne" Kriss smiled cheerfully "have a good evening?"
"Yes thank you" Yvonne answered "you?"
"Yeah" Kriss sat down next to Yvonne on the sofa "I'm sorry about earlier" Kriss put her hand on Yvonne's knee which made Yvonne feel a hundred percent better and turned on again "it wasn't fair of me to treat you like that, can you forgive me?"
"Sure" Yvonne answered, "of course I'll forgive you"
"Can I have a hug?" Kriss asked, "I'd really like us to become friends"
"Sure" Yvonne promised, "come here"
Kriss fell into Yvonne's arms and healed on really tight. Yvonne felt so sexy with Kriss, she longed to be able to pull Kriss towards her and slip her tongue into Kriss' mouth. Yvonne wanted Kriss to go down on her and lick her out. Yvonne wanted to go down on Kriss and make her moan in pleasure but it wasn't to be, Kriss was with Dave now and apparently Yvonne was with Arnold. The hug ended
"I'm going to have a shower" Kriss informed Yvonne as if the hug hadn't happened "I won't be long"
"Okay" Yvonne answered "see you in a minute"
Yvonne thought about Kriss in the shower, but only for a second, she decided to give it up and jump into her own bed on her own. Kriss came out of the shower wearing her tiny short nightie. Kriss' long brown hair was soaking wet, Yvonne loved soaking wet hair, it was a major turn on for her. But she couldn't see it for long, Kriss got straight into bed.
During the night Yvonne woke up from a horrible, horrible dream. She found her way to the bathroom before returning and sitting at the table. Yvonne stared at Kristine as she lay sleeping on her bunk. She couldn't imagine anything more beautiful than this wonderful woman. She was perfect! Yvonne jumped up and looked into the mirror. Her hair didn't fall perfectly like Kriss' did; her eyes didn't shine like to crystal cut diamonds. Kriss' did, she was perfect, wonderful, amazing.
"Why can't I look like her?" Yvonne asked herself
"Like who?" Kryten asked. This made Yvonne jump, she hadn't realised that the ship's new service mechanoid was in the room "I'm sorry miss McGruder ma'am I didn't wish to startle you"
"It's okay Kryten" Yvonne assured him "what do you want?"
"I'm just doing my daily dust" Kryten announced, "don't mind me!"
"Kryten"
"Yes ma'am"
"It's ten past two in the morning, why are you dusting at this time of night?"
"it takes me a long time to dust everyone's quarters I always do miss Kochanski's at this time"
"Oh,"
"Why are you up?"
"Just thinking Kryten, just thinking"
"Is everything okay ma'am?" Kryten asked, "Do you want anything?"
"Yes" Yvonne answered "I want to be myself, I want to be able to love who I want without fear of judgement and lack of understanding"
"How about a cup of tea?"
"Okay"
Yvonne tried to go back to sleep after her nice cup of tea but she couldn't, she just lay there, she had the love bug and she had it bad. Kriss only had to step outside her quarters to get to a vending machine. She asked for cornflakes and milk and for the first time in a week she got what she asked for on the first attempt. By the time Kriss had successfully got her breakfast Yvonne was up.
"Morning Yvonne" Kriss said cheerfully "how are you feeling today?"
"Okay" Yvonne smiled half heartedly "I'm fine"
"What's wrong?" Kriss asked, "I know you Yvonne and I know that something is up!"
"Nothing" Yvonne answered "I'm fine"
"Are you sure?" Kriss asked concerned "you don't seem it"
"I'm fine" Yvonne snapped, "Just leave me alone, okay"
"Fine" Yvonne answered, "I wont bother"
"Oh, Kriss" Yvonne apologised "I didn't mean it"
"No, I'm sorry, I shouldn't have been nice to you"
"Kriss don't be like that, please, Kristine"
Kristine didn't answer, she just tucked into her lovely bowl of cornflakes. There was an awkward silence in the room until there was a knock on the door. Dave walked straight into the room and winked at them both in turn
"Hey girls" he smiled "everything okay?"
"Yeah" the answered in exactly the same half hearted tone in unison. They looked at each other and giggled.
"I'm sorry Kristine" Yvonne smiled "I didn't mean to snap at you"
"It's okay" Kristine smiled back "I know you didn't mean it"
"It's funny how I just walk into a room with two lovely girls in at and everything's okay again!" Dave smiled
"No" Yvonne answered "I realised I was wrong"
