THE GENETIC DUPLICATE – DAY ONE CONTINUES

On board the Solar Flare, Kyra went to Kim's room to see if she needed anything. When Kyra walked in she saw Kim sitting down and holding her head as if she was in pain.

"Kim, what's wrong?" asked Kyra.

"The headaches I've been getting have returned," said Kim. "This one is the worst ever."

"How long have you been getting headaches?" asked Kyra.

"On and off for three months," said Kim. "Three months before I was taken anyway."

"What did the doctor say about your headaches?" asked Kyra.

"I never seen a doctor," said Kim.

"You have been getting headaches for three months and your parents never took you to see a doctor to find out what is wrong?" asked Kyra.

"My headaches were never this bad so I never bothered them with my headaches," said Kim.

"Come with me," said Kyra. "I'm taking you to sick bay so Dr. Randall can run tests on you."

"Can we wait until my head stopped hurting?" asked Kim.

"Kim, we need to find out what is wrong," said Kyra "So let's go."

"Fine," said Kim

Ten minutes later Kim and Kyra followed Dr. Randall into an examination room.

"This room looks very sci-fi," said Kim. "Especially that bed with all those gadgets and buttons."

"What is sci-fi?" asked Kyra.

"It means science fiction," said Kim.

"And what is that?" asked Kyra.

"Science fiction is just a fictional interpretation of a possible future with certain advances," said Kim.

"Being that your people's stage of development is where it is I can see why you would think that," said Dr. Randall. He pointed to the bed. "Kim, I want you to lie down in the bed with your head between the panels."

Kim walked over and put her hand on the bed to climb in. She then quickly stepped back and looked at the bed with a disturbing expression on her face.

"Kim, what is wrong?" asked Kyra. "Kim…Kimberly!"

"Kim," said Dr. Randall.

Kim moved her head as if she turned to look at someone.

Kyra walked up to Kim. She put her hand on Kim's shoulder and exclaimed, "Kimberly."

Kim quickly turned to face Kyra and slightly jumped as if she was startled. Kim then quickly turned to face the bed.

"Where did the man go?" asked Kim.

"What man?" asked Kyra.

Kim pointed to the bed and said, "There was a man lying there. Dr. Randall, you called him Reevis."

Dr. Randall walked up to Kim and said, "Kim, there was no man lying there."

"I saw him," said Kim. "He had short brown hair and he was wearing a uniform like what the shuttle pilot had on. The right side of his face and head were covered in blood. He asked was anyone hurt and you answered three people were killed and ten more were seriously injured. The man then stated that he is not sure what happen. He was on a normal landing approach one second. The next second he was trying to keep from scraping the side of the landing bay."

"Kim, that never happened," said Dr. Randall.

Kyra had an expression on her face as if she was trying to figure something out.

"But I saw it," said Kim. "The man was badly injured."

"Kim, nothing like that has happened," said Dr. Randall.

"Oh god, I'm going delusional," said Kim.

"Kim, lie down on the examination bed and I will find out what is going on," said Dr. Randall.

Kim was quiet as she walked up to the bed. Before getting on the bed Kim touched it and pulled back her hand quickly. A second later she got on the bed.

"Doctor, before you begin the test, can I talk to you for a second in private?" asked Kyra.

"Kim, I will be right back," said Dr. Randall. He and Kyra then walked a short distance away from Kim. "What is it, Kyra?"

"Doctor, when Kim described Reevis, she described a new shuttle pilot," said Kyra.

"Kyra, Kim's crude description of the man can fit an eighth of the men in the fleet," said Dr. Randall. "I think whatever is giving Kim her headaches, is also causing her to hallucinate."

"Seeing a hallucination of a man is one thing, but to put a name to a face she has never seen before," said Kyra. "The new shuttle pilot is name Reevis."

"That is nothing more than a coincidence," said Dr. Randall. "Let me run my examination and I will find out what is causing her to imagine things."

"Go ahead and run your test, but I believe what she said was too precise to be any coincidence," said Kyra.

Dr. Randall went back to Kim to perform the test. The test took twenty-five minutes. When he was done he turned off the scanner.

"Kim, you may get up now," said Dr. Randall.

Kim sat up and asked, "Did you find anything to explain my headaches and what I saw?"

"The test results won't be ready for a few hours," said Dr. Randall. "You may go and I will call you back when it is ready. In the meantime I will give you a slight painkiller for the headaches."

"My head doesn't hurt as much as it did earlier," said Kim. "I think I will be okay without the pain killer."

"Okay, we can skip it this time, but I will give you some painkiller to take with you just in case it returns," said Dr. Randall.

After being handed the pain medication, Kim and Kyra returned to their quarters.

"Kyra, I'm just going to lie down," said Kim after walking into the quarters.

"Certainly," said Kyra. "Kim, I'm going to go and talk to the pilots to check on something, I will be back shortly."

"I will be lying down when you get back," said Kim.

After leaving her quarters Kyra went to the pilot's cabin.

"Kyra, your father is in his quarters," said Nolan Napier, one of the two pilots, as Kyra stepped into the cabin.

"I know. There is something I need to check," said Kyra.

"Is there anything wrong?" asked Kenric Tronan, the other pilot.

"Maybe not," said Kyra. "Is Reevis piloting a shuttle today?"

"He is on the Rising Star picking up passengers right now," said Kenric. "He will be landing on the Galactica in approximately twenty minutes… he will be returning here in about forty minutes."

"Who is piloting the shuttle with him?" asked Kyra.

"No one," said Kenric. "He is by himself today."

"Why is he by himself?" asked Kyra.

"He must have passed all of his tests to be the sole pilot," said Kenric. "Today was actually the first time he is alone."

"Kyra, is there anything wrong?" asked Nolan.

"I believe that Reevis is not ready to be piloting a shuttle by himself," said Kyra. "Is there anyway you can ground him until another pilot can accompany him?"

"Kyra, Reevis would not be by himself if he didn't passed all of his tests," said Nolan.

"Kim… the new addition to our population, saw Reevis in sick bay thirty minutes ago with injuries," said Kyra.

"Kyra, it could not have been Reevis," said Nolan. "Reevis is on the Rising Star picking up passengers."

"That just it, when she saw Reevis in sick bay, only she, Dr. Randall and myself were there," said Kyra. "She saw him in an empty examination bed."

"It sounds as if Kim is seeing things," said Kenric.

"Kim has never seen Reevis before and she described how he looks," said Kyra. "Don't you think that is a little odd?"

"A little strange maybe, but what does that has to do with Reevis?" asked Nolan.

"From what I got from Kim the person that Kim saw lying in bed had been in a shuttle accident," said Kyra.

"Kyra, I can't remember the last time we had a shuttle incident in the fleet," said Nolan.

"What if Kim was seeing a future event?" asked Kyra.

Kenric looked at Kyra as if she had gone insane.

"Kyra, no one is able to see future events," said Nolan.

"Are you certain of that?" asked Kyra.

"Kyra, seeing future events had been proven false three thousands years ago," said Kenric.

"What if it was only thought to be proven false," said Kyra.

"Kyra, in less you can give me a reasonable explanation to why Reevis should be accompanied with another pilot, I will not make a formal request for him to remain on the Rising Star," said Nolan.

"Nolan, according to Kim, three people will be killed and ten more will be seriously wounded," said Kyra. "How would you feel if that would happen and you didn't do a thing about it?"

"Kyra, I suggest that you return to whatever you were doing before and forget this non-sense behavior," said Nolan.

"For everyone's sake I hope you're right," said Kyra.

Kyra walked away. She then went directly to her quarters and to Kim's room. Kim sat up when Kyra walked in.

"If you come to see how I'm doing, my headache is gone," said Kim.

Kyra sat on the edge of the bed and said, "That is partially why I'm here. Kim, have you ever seen things before today?"

"No, being delusional is something new for me," said Kim. "I would understand if you no longer want me to stay with you."

"Kimberly, I don't want to hear talk like that from you," said Kyra. "I'm not going to tell you that you can't live with me just because you may or may not have hallucinated."

Kim grinned and said, "You almost sound like my Grandma." Kyra showed a slight confused expression on her face. "My Grandma would have started with Kimberly Elizabeth."

"Kim, do people on Earth ever claim to see things such as future events?" asked Kyra.

"Some people do," said Kim.

"Kim, I think you might have seen a future event," said Kyra.

"You think I have ESP?" asked Kim.

"What is ESP?" asked Kyra.

"It means extra sensory perception," said Kim. "The twelve colonies don't use acronyms?"

"We do. It is the extra sensory perception we are unfamiliar with," said Kyra. "Kim, I believe you might have ESP."

"But I never had a vision before," said Kim. "I had a lot of incidents of déjà vu, but that is a common occurrence among people."

"What is that?" asked Kyra.

"Déjà vu is a feeling that an event is being relived," asked Kim.

"Déjà vu is not common among the people of the twelve colonies," said Kyra. "Kim, I want us to go and have a talk with my father about what you saw."

"Who's your father?" asked Kim.

"My father is the one that is in charge of this ship," said Kyra. "His name is Matthew Lockwood, but you should address him as Capt. Lockwood."

"You want us to go and convince your father that I have ESP," said Kim.

"That's right," said Kyra. "So let's go and talk to him."

"Kyra, I'm not even convinced that I have ESP," said Kim.

"You prefer to think that you are delusional?" asked Kyra.

"No, but why now?" asked Kim.

"This maybe a bit of a stretch, but since your body is already changing into a young woman perhaps this is part of your change," said Kyra.

"Can this be the reason why I'm getting my headaches?" asked Kim.

"It possible," said Kyra. "Kim, when you describe Reevis earlier, you had described an inexperienced shuttle pilot. That pilot is as we speak the sole pilot operating a shuttle with passengers on board."

"Oh my god," said Kim. "In my vision three people had died."

"That is why I want us to speak to my father," said Kyra.

Kim stood up, pulled Kyra's hand and said, "What are we doing here? We have to talk to your dad."

A few minutes later Kyra and Kim were walking into Capt. Lockwood's quarters.

"Kyra, does your being here have anything to do with what you talked about earlier with Nolan and Kenric?" asked Capt. Lockwood.

"Father, I'm convinced that there will be a shuttle disaster if we don't do something," said Kyra.

"Kyra, I will not doing anything to stop Reevis from flying a shuttle without proper evidence," said Capt. Lockwood. "Not even for you."

"Capt. Lockwood, I don't know if I saw a future event or not," said Kim. "All I know is that I had another one of my headaches. While having this headache I touched a bed in an examination room and all of a sudden I felt as if I was displaced from time. I saw people and heard people in the room that weren't there before. Kyra was gone from the room."

"You are Kim, I'm guessing," said Capt Lockwood.

"Yes sir," said Kim.

"Kim, seeing future events had been proven impossible a few thousands years ago," said Capt. Lockwood.

"Then I would say you and everyone that believes that have a close mind," said Kim. Kyra just gave her father a surprise look. "There have been people on Earth that has seen future events."

"Kim, have this ever happen to you before?" asked Capt. Lockwood.

"No, but perhaps this is something that is now developing," said Kim. "Maybe that is the reason I'm getting headaches the way I am."

"Kyra; Kim, unless one of you can provide evidence I won't do anything to stop Reevis from leaving the Rising Star with his passengers," said Capt. Lockwood.

Kim closed her eyes and quoted, "The young Lion will overcome the old one; in martial field by a single duel. In a golden cage he shall put out his eye. Two wounds from one, and then he shall die a cruel death."

"Excuse me?" asked Capt. Lockwood.

"Four hundred years ago on Earth a man named Nostradamus had made the prediction I just said," said Kim. "Right after he made that prediction King Henry II jousted with someone that was younger than he was. King Henry and his challenger had the symbol of the lion. King Henry's helmet was made of gold. During the duel the lance of the challenger caught King Henry in the visor part of the helmet that put out his eye. At the same time the lance had broken. The broken part had caught King Henry in the abdomen. King Henry lay in bed for a few days in agony before he died."

"Kim, although I find that story fascinating that is not proof," said Capt. Lockwood.

"I got the vision after touching the examination bed so perhaps I should try to get a vision by touching things," said Kim.

"You are welcome to try," said Capt. Lockwood.

Kim looked around the room for a brief moment. She picked up an item, held it for a few seconds and then put it back. After doing this four times she rubbed her temples.

"Kim, are you getting a headache again?" asked Kyra. Kim just nodded her head. "Kim, we tried to convince my father, but it is time to just wait and see what will happen."

"I'm not ready to give up," said Kim.

Kim picked up a picture of Capt. Lockwood's wife Paula. Capt. Lockwood had a worried look on his face as Kim held the picture.

"Kim, that is the only thing in my room I don't want you to pick up," said Capt. Lockwood. Kim was motionless as she held the picture. "Kim, do you hear me."

"Father, this is what happen earlier," said Kyra. She walked up to Kim and put her hand on Kim's shoulder. "Kimberly." Kim slightly jumped. She then faced Kyra. "Kim, give me the picture."

Kim handed Kyra the picture and said, "Her name was Paula. Capt. Lockwood, she was your wife."

"Kim, that is common knowledge," said Capt. Lockwood.

"Father, no one told Kim about mother," said Kyra.

"Paula was an instructor at a junior military academy," said Kim. "That was also where she died."

"Kim, you are telling me things about the past, not the future," said Capt. Lockwood.

"What I know about psychics, a psychic can't control in what direction of time he or she would see," said Kim.

"Still by you telling me things about my wife is not proof that you had seen a future event," said Capt. Lockwood.

"Capt. Lockwood, today I've discovered that I am a psychic," said Kim. "When I first came in here I wasn't convinced to what I experience earlier was me seeing a future event, but I am now. I just wish there was a way I can convince you of that before three people have to die."

"Kim, it has been proven that no one is capable in seeing the future," said Capt. Lockwood.

"What person or group that supposed to have proven that is wrong," said Kim. "You and everyone else that went along with that are fools."

"Kimberly Elizabeth," exclaimed Kyra.

Capt. Lockwood put up his right hand to indicate that it was okay.

"Kim, you don't know better than to talk to me in the way you just did so I'm going to let it go…this time," said Capt. Lockwood. "If you ever talk to me in that manner again you will not be doing anything enjoyable for several weeks. Is that understood?"

"Perfectly," said Kim. "Can I go?"

"Please do," said Capt. Lockwood.

Kyra and Kim walked out of the room.

"Kim, why would you say something like that to anyone?" asked Kyra as they were walking down the corridor.

"I was just trying to find a way to get him to listen to me," said Kim. "I didn't stop to think of what I was saying until I said it. Kyra, I'm really sorry. I didn't mean to insult anyone, especially your father."

"Kim, for now on can you stop and think before you speak?" asked Kyra.

"I will," said Kim. "Kyra, are you mad at me?"

"No, I'm not mad," said Kyra. "I'm a bit surprise you told him that. You do know if you ever speak to me like that you will be in big trouble."

"I figured as much," said Kim.

"Good," said Kyra. She then noticed as if Kim was in pain. "Kim, is your head still hurting?"

Kim nodded and said, "It's not as bad as it was before, but it still hurts."

"The medicine Dr. Randall gave you is in our quarters," said Kyra. "We should get back so you can take it."

Kim just nodded.

Kim took the medicine soon after entering their quarters. Kim then held her head.

"This alarm isn't helping my head feel better," Kim uttered out.

"What alarm?" asked Kyra as the alarm went off. Kyra paused for second. She then walked to the communication panel and pressed a button. "Kyra to the pilot's cabin, what is going on?"

Kyra noticed a paused in the response.

"There was a shuttle accident," said Nolan.

"Who was piloting the shuttle?" asked Kyra.

"The pilot was Reevis," said Nolan. "Kyra, I know what you are thinking, but what happened was only a coincidence."

"How many coincidences have to take place before you change your opinion?" asked Kyra. "Actually strike that; that is a question I want my father to answer." Kyra terminated the signal. Kyra walked up to Kim. "Kim, I'm going to go talk to my father. I want you to remain in our quarters."

"Can I get one of your books and look at it?" asked Kim.

"Just don't tear any of the pages," said Kyra.

"Kyra, I'm surprise that an advance culture still print books," said Kim. "I mean I expected an advance culture to have their books on computers or some gadget like a hand held computer screen."

"Some of our written materials are on the computer, but a lot of our materials are printed in books," said Kyra. "Some of those books are hard to replace so be careful with them."

"I promise I will," said Kim.

Kyra then left her quarters.

Minutes later Kyra walked up to her father as he was walking through the corridor.

"Father, did you hear the news?" asked Kyra.

"If you are talking about the shuttle accident then yes I have," said Capt. Lockwood.

"So do you have something to say to me?" asked Kyra.

"Kyra, I made my decision based on facts," said Capt. Lockwood.

"Unfortunately, Father, the facts you base it on was flawed," said Kyra. "The vision that Kim saw more than an hour ago has come true."

"So it seems," said Capt. Lockwood. "If Kim sees another future event I will take your concerns more seriously."

"People wouldn't be dead if you had taken her seriously this time," said Kyra.

"The casualty report hasn't come out yet so we don't know if anyone was killed," said Capt. Lockwood.

"I suspect three people were killed," said Kyra.

"Let's just wait and see," said Capt. Lockwood. "Now if you will excuse me I have a matter to attend to."

"Of course, father," said Kyra.

As Capt. Lockwood walked away Kyra walked back towards her quarters.

When Kyra returned to her quarters Kim was reading on the couch.

"Kyra, was anyone killed like my vision told me?" asked Kim.

"The casualty report isn't out yet," said Kyra. "Kim, I was planning to do this with you before now, but how about a tour of the ship."

"I would love to," said Kim.

"Let's go and I will show you around," said Kyra. Kim closed the book. "There are areas that are off limits to you though."

Kim stood up and said, "I'm suspecting two-thirds of the ship will be off limits to me."

"I'm not sure if it is quite that much," said Kyra. They left their quarters. "Kim, tell me about Earth."

Kim talked about Earth in great detail.

Forty minutes later Dr. Randall made his report. Three people were killed in the accident. Another person died during an operation.

Capt. Lockwood reported Kim's vision to Cmdr Adama and to Pres. Roslin along with sending the final casualty report.

Kyra and Kim were playing a game in the recreation room. Kim was facing the entrance to the room and as people would enter she would gaze at them for a brief moment. Kim was in the middle of her move when Adonis Spike, Faxon Rivers and Cleona Silken walked. All three of them were fifteen years old. As Kim was ending her move she looked up at them. Instead of looking away after seeing their faces Kim stared at Adonis. Kim wasn't watching as Kyra was ending her move.

"Okay, Kim it's your move," said Kyra. Kim didn't acknowledge Kyra. "Kimberly!"

Kim quickly looked at Kyra and said, "Huh."

"Were you having a vision?" asked Kyra.

"No… my mind was just elsewhere," said Kim. "Is it my turn?"

"Yes, it's your turn," said Kyra.

As Kim was taking her turn Kyra looked for a second in the direction Kim was looking.

When Kim was ending her turned she looked at Adonis again. Kyra noticed Kim's actions.

"So which of the two boys are distracting you from the game?" asked Kyra.

Kim blushed and asked in a defensive manner, "What two boys?"

"Faxon and Adonis," said Kyra. "Faxon is the one in the blue shirt and Adonis is the one in the red shirt. Cleona is the girl that is with them. So was it Faxon or Adonis that is distracting you from the game."

"No one is distracting me from the game," said Kim.

"If your face isn't as red as your hair, I might believe that," said Kyra.

"I think Adonis is cute, okay," said Kim.

"Kim, you don't need to be embarrassed," said Kyra. "You are at the age that you will find boys cute. Have you ever liked a boy before?"

"The night I was taken, I was supposed to have met Brian," said Kim. "Brian and I were friends since I was three. The last two months I started to feel things for him. I don't think he felt the same way about me though."

"Were you and Brian the same age?" asked Kyra.

"He is a year older than me," said Kim.

"Kim, have your parents talk to you about what can happen between a young woman and a young man when they are alone?" asked Kyra.

"Are you talking about having sex?" asked Kim.

"I wasn't trying to be that direct, but yes," said Kyra. "Have anyone talked to you about that?"

"Two years ago my mom talked to me about that, but I already knew," said Kim.

"I hope you didn't know from experience," said Kyra.

"That the same thing my mom said," said Kim.

"Out of curiosity, how did you know?" asked Kyra.

"My older brother is five years older than me and I ease dropped during his conversations with his friends," said Kim. "You would be amazed at what a person can learn from ease dropping."

"First of all, I've better not catch you ease dropping on anyone's conversation," said Kyra. "Secondly, you are not to be alone with a boy."

"I had that talk with my mom also," said Kim.

"Well, your mom isn't here to enforce it, but I am," said Kyra.

"I have no plans to do those things," said Kim.

"Sometimes those things are not something you can plan," said Kyra.

Kim said in a convincing tone, "I understand and I won't do them."

"Okay, I believe you," said Kyra. "It is my turn I believe."

"It is," said Kim.

As Kyra was taking her turn, Faxon had walked up to the table.

"Excuse me, Ms. Lockwood," said Faxon. He pointed towards the others. "We were looking to get another player for cross-colors."

"Faxon, I would like for you to meet Kim," said Kyra.

"Hi Kim," said Faxon. "So which ship are you from?"

"I'm going to be on this ship," said Kim.

"It is nice that you will be with us, but which ship were you living on before," said Faxon.

"You may say I'm from the derelict ship," said Kim.

Faxon looked at Kim in a confused manner.

"Kim is not from the fleet," said Kyra.

"Kim, where are you from?" asked Faxon.

"I'm from Earth," said Kim.

Faxon said in a skeptical tone, "You are from Earth."

Kim nodded and said, "Uh-huh."

Faxon looked at Kyra.

"Kim is telling the truth," said Kyra. "She was one of the people that were found on the disabled alien ship."

"I heard talks about people being found on that ship, but I just thought it was only a rumor," said Faxon. "Kim, perhaps you can tell me about Earth sometime."

"Kim, if you would like you could be the forth person they are needing to play cross-colors," said Kyra. "You can tell Faxon and the others about Earth."

"I never played cross-colors before," said Kim.

"It's an easy game to play," said Faxon. "Would you like to learn?"

"Sure, I'll play," said Kim. Kim then stood up.

After Kim and Faxon walked up to the game table Faxon introduced Kim to Adonis and Cleona.

"Kim is from Earth," said Faxon as he and Kim were taking their seats.

"Faxon, nice joke, but I'm not falling for it," said Cleona.

"It's true, I am from Earth," said Kim.

"Yeah, and I'm a Cylon," said Cleona.

"Strange, you don't look like a robot," said Kim.

"Neither do the Cylons; not any more anyway," said Cleona.

"What do they look like?" asked Kim.

"They look human," said Cleona. "Where have you been for the past five years?"

"In stasis aboard a disabled alien ship," said Kim.

"Cleona, Kim is from the drifting ship that our fleet discovered a few days ago," said Faxon.

"You are being serious, aren't you?" asked Adonis.

"Yes, I'm serious," said Kim. "I'm also serious about being from Earth. If you don't believe me, you can go and talk to Kyra."

"You mean Ms. Lockwood," said Cleona.

"I'm allowed to call her Kyra," said Kim.

"Why are you allowed to call her Kyra?" asked Cleona.

"She is now my guardian," said Kim. "So Faxon, were you going to teach me cross-colors."

"You don't know how to play the game?" asked Cleona.

"I never heard of cross-colors until a few minutes ago," said Kim.

"We will teach you," said Adonis.

"Kim, you can be Faxon partner," said Cleona.

Kim noticed a slight distasteful expression on Adonis's face.

"Okay," said Kim. "So how is the game played?"

Adonis took the time to explain the game. After explaining the rules, Cleona dealt out the cards. .

"So Kim, tell us about Earth," said Faxon as they were playing the game.

Kim again described Earth in detail. Kim also caught on quickly as to how the game was played. Faxon and Kim won the game in a short time.

"For someone that never played cross-colors before you played a little too good," said Cleona.

"I'm just a quick learner," said Kim. "Should we play again?"

"Perhaps we should switch partners," said Adonis.

"We have always been partners, Adonis," said Cleona.

"You are the one that is usually choosing the partners," said Adonis. "For a change I would like to switch up."

"Fine and who are you wanting to switch up with?" asked Cleona.

"If it is going to cause problems then we can leave the partners the way they are," said Kim.

"Adonis wants to switch partners so we will switch partners," said Cleona in an unpleasant tone. "So Adonis, who do you want as a partner?"

Kyra heard Cleona's tone.

Adonis looked at Kim for a second.

"I just want to switch up," said Adonis. Kyra walked up. "I don't care if it is with Kim or Faxon."

"So how are things going here?" asked Kyra.

"We are doing fine," said Kim. "We are just getting ready to play another game."

"You can play one more game, but then we need to leave…" said Kyra as Kim was interrupting Kyra.

"Why?" asked Kim.

"I was about to say that I usually start my sleep cycle around this time each night," said Kyra. "I want you in bed at the same time I am."

"All right," said Kim.

Adonis looked at his watch and said, "Actually it is real close to my sleep cycle too."

"Well, I will go back and take my seat so the four of you can play your final game," said Kyra.

Kyra walked away.

"So what are the partners for this game?" asked Kim.

Cleona looked at Adonis and said, "Kim, I will be your partner."

"That is fine with me," said Adonis.

"That's fine with me also," said Kim.

"Faxon, let's switch seats," said Cleona.

After switching seats they began another game.

During the game Kim noticed tension between Cleona and Adonis.

"Are you two having some kind of lovers' spat?" asked Kim.

"We are not lovers," said Adonis.

"Obviously, I'm not your type," said Cleona. She stood up and walked away. Kyra heard the commotion and turned to look as Cleona was walking towards the exit.

"What just happened?" asked Kim.

"Cleona has been after Adonis for a few months," said Faxon.

"I'm not interested in Cleona though," said Adonis.

Faxon noticed a grinned on Kim's face. He then had a disappointing expression on his face.

Kyra walked up to the table.

"Is the game over?" asked Kyra.

"Yes Ma'am," said Adonis.

"Kim, we need to get going then," said Kyra.

Kim stood up

"Adonis; Faxon, it was nice to meet you both," said Kim.

"Kim, you will be in class tomorrow won't you?" asked Adonis.

Kim looked at Kyra and said, "I guess."

"Kim will see the both of you in class tomorrow," said Kyra.

"Bye," said Kim

Kyra and Kim left the recreation room.
