:D I'M HERE!:D

Okay... so I just need to say that if you start off a review with three swear words that are meant to be hurtful, it won't work. :D Uhm so I haven't seen this place for I think two weeks and I have a SOLID explaination as to why. So a few chapters ago, I mentioned a family emergency. Well my grandma had a stroke and we had to drive out to Nevada to check on her. She was okay when we left but a week and a half or so ago she got much MUCH worse all of a sudden. So my family went down there and we were down there for a week and a half to work out what we needed to do with her. Unfortunately, my grandparents live in the middle of the desert by themselves with the closest town 50 miles away and they don't have internet. SOOO I couldn't update. So we packed up my grandparents stuff and moved them back home with us. I would have updated right away but High School stabbed me in the back. I'd missed my Semester finals and I have to still take them. I only got back three days ago so I am going to need to take them after school this week. But because some of you people had none too nice words for me I decided to put aside what I really SHOULD be doing and update. I'm sorry guys that my grandma is sick and I couldn't update, but try and understand that I have WAY too much going on and I just can't find time to update. So as soon as I'm done with this chapter, I have to go back to Chemistry studying and hopefully I will get some nice reviews to motivate me. Just from now on I want EVERYONE to know this:

NO FLAMING.

If there is one more angry flame review, I will make a point of NOT continuing this story because I'm honestly PISSED OFF about this. But to all of you people that say kind words, you are the greatest people on the planet. Thus, I dedicate this chapter to:

mrspendragon, Izi, E, ujemaima, Selvet, AlexisSalvatore17, LittleDreamer2, Alleycat1, Tnfan, ANJELIA, EmtheUnicorn, and Snipps. You are all wonderful:) Thank you for all of your kindness and it makes my heart flutter and I often giggle like a six year old girl whenever you review. There are many more of you I want to add, but these people reviewed the last two chapters and I needed to dedicate this chapter to the people who stayed with me:) So thank you all:)

DISCLAIMER: (I almost forgot to have this) I don't own Terra Nova, but damn... It would be cool if I did:)

It'd been a week since Skye's little chat with Maddy and she was in a tip top mood this morning. She'd climbed out of bed with a grin and threw on a comfortable pair of shorts and a t-shirt. She pulled on her boots and skipped out the door, happy it was her day off and felt like starting off her morning with a fresh fruit for breakfast. As she went down the street she smiled at the people passing her and they happily returned it. A cool breeze tickled her neck and arms but it felt absolutely wonderful in the warm morning air.

As she arrived at the market place, she casually began to sweep through the square and browse through the stalls. She finally stopped at one stall and reached for a fruit that caught her eye. She lifted the plump yellow fruit and her eyes gleamed as she recalled the memory.

"I don't know." Lucas shrugged as he bit into the fruit again. "Surprise me." He swallowed and kept his eyes trained on her to see what she'd do.

She bit her lip and looked at him nervously, contemplating something behind her eyes. He searched her face for explaination, but before he could work anything out, she pounced on him. She pressed her lips onto his for a split second before tearing herself away. He stared at her, dumbfounded for a moment with look of shock on his face. She took his confused state to her advantage and reached out to snatch the fruit from him. She hadn't even tried the fruit yet, but she already knew the taste because it was smothered all over Lucas's lips.

She chuckled at her cleverness before paying for the fruit and turning to walk away, continuously replaying the fond memory in her mind. She taken the first step away just in time to run into someone.

"Oomph!" She heard the persons say as they collided.

"Oh my gosh! I'm sorry!" Skye sputtered nervously.

"It's oka- Skye! Oh hey good morning!" The voice was instantly recognized.

"Oh good morning Josh." Skye responded as she watched him dust the front of his shirt off.

Josh grinned at her. "Why are you out and about so early?"

Skye shrugged. "It's my day off. I figured I'd go out and get something fresh to eat for breakfast. I'm sick of the same old cereal."

Josh nodded before glancing down at her hands where she clung the fruit tightly. "What kind of fruit is that?"

Skye lifted the fruit up so she could examine it properly. "I actually don't know.."

"Here," Josh reached for the fruit. "Let me see."

"No!" Skye retorted too quickly and snapped her hand back so that she held the fruit close to her. She instantly felt guilty as she saw a hurt and then confused look cross his features. "I-I mean I want to try it first."

Josh didn't say anything for a moment as he watched her. She was looking down at her shoes, pursing her lips nervously. She figited with the fruit in her grasp.

"It's alright. I have to get going anyway." Josh forced a smile at her, although on the inside he was still confused about her reaction. "I'm going out with a work team to go clean up an outpost."

Skye looked up at him again, smiling back. "Oh well have fun!"

Josh smirked. "Work? Fun? I don't think those two go well together but whatever Skye." He smiled at her mischeviously for a moment before saying good bye and walking off toward the gates.

Skye let out a breath of relief and lifted the fruit up so she could see it again. The yellow fruit was smooth and had an odd shap that reminded her vaguely of a pear. It wasn't heavy but it was quite large in her palms. She wandered over to the command post and leaned her back against one of the pillars that kept it off the ground. She sighed before bringing the fruit to her lips. When she bit down, the taste was all too familiar. The juices exploded in her mouth and she closed her eyes to savor it fully. Her mind buzzed with Lucas and she smiled inwardly at the memories and she wondered briefly when he was going to come back for her and if he was alright.

"Enjoying that are you?"

Skye's eyes snapped open and she jumped in surprise. The Commander was approaching at a calm pace. His face was peaceful but curious. "I'm sorry I didn't mean to frighten you."

"It's okay Commander." Skye smiled at him.

Taylor gave the fruit a look and something flashed behind his eyes. His expression faultered for a moment. "That fruit.."

Skye's chewing slowed and she swallowed hesitantly as she watched him, suddenly nervous. "What about it..?"

The Commander stared at it for a moment quietly as he thought hard. Suddenly he shook his head as to shake away the thought. "Nothing. It just used to be Lucas's favorite."

Skye's eyebrows shot up at this. "It was?"

"Yes it was. I often times found him doing the same thing you're doing now. Whenever I asked him about it he said the only word to describe the fruit was with the word blissful. Of course I tried the fruit and I find it to be quite bitter. Do you like it?" The Commander watched her intently.

"I do actually." Skye forced an innocent smile. She obviously didn't want the Commander to know about what happened between her and Lucas.

The Commander smiled back and chuckled to himself. "You don't have to work today do you?"

Skye shook her head. "I plan on taking a relaxing day off today."

"Well you have fun." Taylor patted her on the shoulder before turning and walking away.
