Summary: What happens when Trance gets drunk? Challenge Response.
Disclaimer: I own nothing. Oh-and the first name that I found "I will survive" under was Cake, from the album: "Fashion Nugget".
Notes: Ok-so I figured since it's MY challenge I should go too. It's a bit lame.... But please don't let that stop you from reading and reviewing. Thanx! I used: Trance drunk, "I will survive", "This is not what it looks like", Beka in a mini skirt, and Harper shirtless (not directly).
The Andromeda Ascendant landed on the planet Triska.The Triskans agreed to hear what Dylan had to say and possibly sign the charter. They were a philosophical race and preferred non violence, yet would defend themselves if necessary. They were short-about 5'4, had the same figure as humans-same amount of arms and legs and ears, but had a dozen eyes, slits for noses and a huge mouth. The crew were invited to a formal dinner on the planet and were invited to stay the night in their finest hotel-which they accepted. Tyr of course refused to come and stayed aboard with Rommie. Dylan decided it was the polite thing to dress in Triskan style for the dinner, which turned out to be a mistake for any one over 5'4. They received the largest clothing in stock, but unfortunately the pants were short and the skirts were...
"You have GOT to be kidding me", Beka Valentine said, after trying on her outfit. "This is ridicules!" She stormed down the hallway and knocked on Dylan's door. He opened it, dressed in a tight shirt and pants that refused to meet his boots.
"Wow", he said."You look-"
"Terrible?" She offered crossing her arms.
"No-I was going to go for great" he said smiling. She rolled her eyes. "Yeah right-give me a break! I can't wear this!"
"You can and you will" Dylan warned her. "We told them we will dress in their clothing and not doing so will be disrespectful and might damage our chances at getting them to join". Beka saw no point in arguing so she walked back to her room mad.
"Whoa Beka" Harper said. "You're looking HOT". A THUD was then heard followed by an innocent: "Was it something I said?"
***********
Harper was bored during most of the dinner. He never really liked this formal stuff, so he was looking for an excuse to leave to his assigned room.
"This is sooo good!" Trance whispered in his ear as she gulped down some blue liquid.
"Trance are you ok?" He asked her concerned. She was a bit too cheerful.
"Why?" She asked, taking another round of the drink. "I'm just having fun!"
"I bet you are", he muttered. He didn't touch that drink and he was starting to wonder.... He took a sip and immediately understood. "Trance-you're drunk!"
"So?" She asked before passing out. Harper excused himself and his "ill" friend and carried her to her room. He laid her on her bed and she smiled, wrapping her arms around his neck.
"Trance..." Harper started, trying to get up. She got up with him.
"What's the matter Harper?" She asked getting closer to him. "Don't you want me?"
"Of course I do babe", he said backing up against the wall. "You're number one on my list-believe me. But you're wasted, you're not in control of what you're doing." He said trying to get away. She blocked his way with her tail. She kissed him-long and passionately and then tore his shirt off and tossed it aside. "Now that's more like it." She smiled.
"Trance I was wondering if everything was-"
The two turned and saw Dylan gaping at them in the doorway.
"Dylan this is NOT what it looks like" Harper tried to explain as he wrenched himself free from Trance. "She came on to ME."
"Listen Mr.. Harper I'm not going to tolerate this-"
"At first I was afraid." Trance said drunkenly.
"You scared her?" Dylan asked accusingly.
"Look Dylan honest-"
"I was petrified" Trance started swaying towards them.
"I kept thinking I could never live without you
By my side" "Trance we're right here" Said a confused Dylan.
"But then I spent so many nights
Just thinking how you've done me wrong
I grew strong
I learned how to get along," Trance finished and started singing.
"And so you're back
From outer space
I just walked in to find you
Here without that look upon your face
I should have changed that stupid lock
I would have made you leave your key
If I had known for just one second
You'd be back to bother me
Well now go,
Walk out the door
Just turn around
Now, you're not welcome anymore
Weren't you the one
Who tried to break me with desire?
Did you think I'd crumble?
Did you think I'd lay down and die?"
By then she passed out again. The two men rushed to her side and gently lay her on her bed.
"She got hammered", Harper explained. Dylan nodded.
"Harper-" Dylan started to apologize.
"Don't sweat it boss."
"I have to go back."
"I'll look after her." Harper said pulling up a chair near her bed. Dylan nodded and left.
"Oh no not I," Trance started to mutter in her sleep.
"I will survive
Yeah as long as I know how to love,
I know I'll be alive
I've got all my life to live
I've got all my love to give
I will survive,
I will survive..."
She trailed off into a peaceful sleep. Harper watched over her, until he fell asleep himself.
************
Harper woke up and looked around, remembering what happened last night. He looked over to see Trance slowly waking up. He stood by her bed.
"Hey Harper" She smiled yawning.
"Hi Trance. Man I hope you enjoyed yourself last night-because you're in for the mother of all hangovers." She started to rise and he helped her, easing her to a sitting position.
"What happened?" She asked him, rubbing her temples.
"You mean you don't remember?"
"No-should I?"
"Nope, nothing special happened-you got drunk, I got you up here and..... You fell asleep"
"Where's your shirt?" She asked him.
"Ummm- You sorta emptied your stomach on it, so I couldn't wear it."
"Oh- I'm sorry. Ouch-got any sedatives?" She asked getting up slowly. She was suddenly very awake as she rushed to the bathroom. Harper laughed.
"Knock knock" Beka said getting into the room. "Hi boss" Harper greeted her.She tossed him a shirt which he put on as she sat next to him on the bed.She was in her normal cloths.
"Dylan told me all about last night" She said smiling. "Seems like I missed out on one heck of a party"
"Not really" Harper said smiling. "How did the dinner go?"
"Oh the usual-boring dinner, they signed the charter, we ate Urious chocolate moose for dessert and uh, I tripped over something and came crashing down with a waiter-showing everyone in the room what I have under my skirt"
Harper looked shocked. "They had Urious chocolate moose for dessert?" He asked and they both laughed. "How 'bout you?" She asked curious.
"Oh-Trance got drunk, started making out with me and undressing me, Dylan walks in thinking I'M taking advantage of HER, which you probably already heard from Dyaln, and right before she passed out she strted singing"
"What song?" Beka asked.
"I will survive" Harper said smiling. "I can't believe she remembered the words-I played it for her one time last week"
Beka got up to leave. "We're leaving in 15 minutes Harper, might want to start getting ready-Trance too"
"Sure-and Beka please don't tell Trance anything, she doesn't remember"
"Sure-believe me, if it were me I wouldn't want to remembet either"
"Haha, very funny Beka-and by the way, what did you have under that skirt?"
"Tights" She said laughing as she left the room.
***********
Harper was fixing the slipsteam drive, thinking about what happened on the planet. It meant nothing, atleast to Trance... Harper thought, touching his lips, remembering the feeling of hers and smiling. He loved Trance, and not in the way he "loved" Rommie or any female that could stand erect. This was for real. That's why he couldn't take advantage of her, he loved her too much to do something like that. He only wished she felt the same way.... Harper sighed and continued with his work.
Trance was tending to a plant of hers which she named "Sophie", smiling as usual. She stopped working and sighed, brushing her lips with her fingers. Oh yes-she remembered EXACTLY what happened on the planet, the feeling she got kissing Harper... If only he would show some sign that he felt the same way.... She frowned. Maybe he did.... The way they kissed-she could have sworn he returned it. He might have just been caught up in the moment-she had to be sure.She had to check if he felt the same way. She smiled inwardly, thinking how much she is going to enjoy the task at hand....
