Space dream By Alexis James
The cold air hit my skin as I walked along the dark side walk. I looked ahead to the red like and the cars going this and that. Just another quite evening I thought as I entered my apartment door. The lights came on to the sound of me entering the apartment. Then one of the walls sprung to life with monitors. I walked in the dining room and asked the food replicater for a beer. Then went about answering my email and doing bills. The story of my life I thought. I flipped threw the bills. I paid them all and put my finger to the monitor so it could finger print me to sigh my checks. I am so glad they did away with paper and signing checks. This way is easier.
I then pushed buttons on another panel a music library came to life, I flipped threw it and found what I was looking for. Seconds later Joan Jett's music flooded the room. I sat there listening to the music letting it take me back as I sipped a cup of warm coffee. How this music has always meant something to me about love and life. Freedom as well comes from it a time when we didn't care about one another sadly. Oh how times have changed I thought. Then my phone rang I turned off the music and pulled up my phone monitor. The picture appeared before me.
"Hello Pam, how are you?" I heard as I sat up in my chair.
"Fine thanks Sara, what can I do for you?"
"Well darling I was wondering if you would join me in a drink."
I didn't reply and she said "I will be over in 5." Great I thought so much for a relaxing nite alone. Then I thought Sara only bothers me when she wants something. What could it be now...? Money? I sat there in my chair lost in thought. When beeping made me jump. It was the door I walked across the room and pushed a button to open it. Then I remembered an old show star trek how our lives were getting very close to that show. Odd the TV people back then would have never thought.
Sara stepped into my apartment whereing a red cute little dress. I thought ok here we go what does she want now. She went to the food replicator and ordered two drinks. We sat down and chatted. We played computer air hockey. Then she turned and looked at me. "I have come here to tell you I love you and want you."
I sat there shocked then the alarm went off for all the guards to go to work I hurried in to my uniform and bid her good bye. Then walked to the main room for orders from the president. It turned out I was to captain a ship the silver bird. Next thing I knew I was standing in the ships main command room, sitting in the captain's chair. I had most of my personal items brought over by a messenger willing to do the task. I thought back to star trek now and how close this was to that. All I needed was the star trek crew I thought and almost laughed out loud. A cute little red head stepped in two the room I noticed by her rank she was my second in command. I smiled god she was hot I tought as I gave out orders.
I was sitting in my office reading over our orders from earth we were to guard earth from the sky. In case of a special attack which was not likely and observe any thing interesting we found while in space. Not I really thought of star trek voyager and laughed. The next few weeks went by with out any issues to name, we did some research and found some cool things. The commander was getting closer to me. On this night she asked me to dinner.
I was going to refuse but then an hour later I read her personal files and found out she was a known lesbian. Knowing this is could not very well say no after all I have been dieing for compion ship sense leaving earth. Dinner went fine we talked and ate and talked about family and friends and home and what we would do when we got back. Then suddenly she leaned over and kissed me so tenderly. "I want you to be there when we go back. I mean to do things with." I didn't say anything just nodded and sat there sipping whine. What she was asking was huge and I had to think on it and I knew I did and she knew it as well at least I think she did.
Every night for five nights was just about the same playing games and talking and kissing. Until the sixth night, we were in my cabin talking and suddenly she came over to me and whispered lets make love. I didn't know how to respond to this at all.
That's when I woke with Sara next to me on earth in my own bed. Good god how much did I drink I had a pounding head ache. No more space travel for me I thought as I downed pain killers.
