Genna walked into her room, relieved to be back from her over long mission. She reached her dresser, pulled out a clean set of clothes, and preceded to the bathroom to take a shower.

She mulled over the news she'd received not long ago with a smile. Rodney had asked Anita out. It was a miracle. She'd been afraid that they'd have to resort to phase three. Her thoughts began to think on the same track that Danielle's had been not too long ago. Anita was the first. She hoped that Danielle and she would follow not far behind. Danielle would probably be next. She had that secret admirer after her. Genna herself didn't even know if John liked her back.

This train of thought continued even after she was out of the shower and blowing her hair dry. Thank goodness for Danielle. She'd managed to make a version of a hair dryer that worked even better than those they had back in her reality. She walked out of the bathroom to discover a long package on her bed. She picked it up and opened it. Inside were the most beautiful flowers she'd ever seen. They were a deep purple with light pink stripes on some of the petals. They were almost like a rose, but had some tulip like qualities to it.

"Who in the world put these here?" she wondered aloud.

"That would be me." She turned around to see John stepping out of the shadows near her door. Her heart stopped. "You see, I like you, a lot. I figured that some flowers would be a good way to say it. I also wanted to ask you to dinner on Friday night. What do you say?" She just stared at him. She couldn't say anything. She'd only dreamed of this happening. Hell, she'd even dreamed in her dreams about this happening. He stared at her with a worried look on his face.

"What?" she managed to choke out.

"Will you have dinner with me on Friday?"

"Okay, I was just making sure I heard you right."

"And?"

"Do you realize, that I never thought that this was going to happen? I mean, I've only hoped, but I never thought you'd like me."

"Why wouldn't I?"

"I'm not from your reality. Besides, there are plenty of women on this base that are after you. Hell, there's even a pool about who you'll ask out first."

"You're not serious?" He laughed. He couldn't believe that there was a pool!

"Yes I am. The biggest bet was between Weir and Della."

"That blonde nurse?" He made a face.

"Yes."

"So, can I take what you first said as a yes?"

"Defiantly." She smiled.

She ran down the hallway to Danielle's room. It was around midnight, but she didn't care. She burst in her room to find her sound asleep. Genna ran and jumped on her yelling, "GET UP! HURRY!" Danielle awoke to see Genna running from her room. She yelled. "Meet me in Anita's room! HURRY!"

She drug herself out of bed and down to Anita's room just in time to see her get jumped on. Anita grumbled and pulled the covers over her head. "Please get up! Danielle's in here too. I've got something to tell you!"

"Fine! Couldn't it wait 'till morning?"

"No!" Genna was bouncing on the bed, out of excitement or to keep Anita awake; Danielle couldn't decide which. "I went to my room to take a shower, after we talked."

"That's SO exciting! Now leave me alone!" Anita grumbled. Danielle and Genna both giggled.

"That's not all. I got out, got dressed, and blow dried my hair. When I came out of the bathroom, I noticed a box lying on my bed." At this Anita perked up. Danielle walked over and sat on the bed to listen closer. "Inside were the most beautiful flowers that I've ever seen in my life!" She reached over and pulled a box out from beside the bed. Danielle hadn't even noticed her carrying it. When she opened it they gasped. She was right. The flowers were beautiful.

"I asked out loud 'Who in the world put these here?' Then he stepped out of the shadows."

"WHO?" Anita almost yelled.

"John." At this they all screamed. She had her dream man! "Anyway, anyway, he asked me to dinner on Friday, and I was too stunned to answer. I finally told him that I never thought that he liked me back. Then I told him about the pool."

"How did he take that?" Danielle laughed.

"He made a face when I said that the top choices were Weir and Della." Anita and Danielle were thrown into a fit of giggles.

"I finally said yes. We sat and talked for around thirty minutes before he left. It was great!"

"I can't believe it! You're wish came true, you got John!" Anita exclaimed. This threw them all into another fit of giggles and a full description of what John and her had talked about.

John smiled to himself as he listened to the shouts and giggles coming from Anita's bedroom. He walked away to go waked Rodney up.
