crack.  Green stalks emerged from the cracks, surrounding Luci.
    “What's going on?” Gina asked.
    The stalks sprouted leaves and then burst
into flowers.
    “Poppies!” Luci cried.  “Red poppies!”
    “And asters and cosmos and look at those zinnias,”
Katie pointed.  We were surrounded by flowers in a thousand different colors. 
“Very pretty.  You must rate really high, Luci.”
    “This is for me?” Luci gasped.
    “What the heck is going on?” Gina demanded
loudly.  “Where did these flowers come from?”
    “You know, I'm really hungry for some
cheesecake.”  Thad stretched and put his arm around Gina.  “How about you,
Hon?”
    Gina looked at Thad as if he was insane
and backed away from his embrace.
    “Cheesecake sounds good to me,” Katie
replied loudly.
    “It's amazing how things grow in radioactive
dirt,” Thad smiled.
    “But… I don't get it…” Gina protested.
    “Let's go back to our house and sit on the
deck,” Katie announced.  “Have coffee and cheesecake.  I think I've got one in
the freezer.  Would that be okay, Sweetheart?”
    “Okay,” Senya shrugged, taking Katie's
hand.
    “We'll see you in a bit then.”  She waved
at us as they walked away. 
    “Awesome!” Thad cried.  “Put on some
tunes, lie on the deck and look at the stars, go skinny dipping in the ocean.”
    “Sorry, Thad,” I said.  “Nobody wants to
see you naked.”
    “Ok,” Thad took Gina's arm.  “How about
just the girls go skinny dipping then.”
    “I just don't get it,” Gina said as they
left for their speeder.
    “Oh, Berkie,” Luci exclaimed, picking an
armful flowers.  “I can't believe what happened tonight.”
    “Which part of tonight?” I asked as we
walked to our own speeder, a loaner from the SdK fleet.
    “Everything!” she gasped.  “I can't
believe I finally met him!  He's amazing!  I had no idea that he was so shy
though.”
    “Shy, Senya?”
    “Absolutely,” Luci declared.  “You
probably don't realize it because you've known him for so long but I saw it
right away.  I'm quite a good observer.”
    “I know you are.”
    “He's very insecure.”
    “Really?”
    “Absolutely.  If you didn’t know any
better, you would think he was arrogant but it’s really that he has low
self-esteem.  You would too, Berkie if your entire life someone was constantly
threatening you and telling you how evil you are.  Did you see how he clings to
her?”
    “He had to,” I replied, starting up the
speeder.  “He wasn't wearing his glasses and she is trying to get him to stay
out of our heads.”
    “What does that mean?”  Luci looked at me
strangely.  I pulled out of the underground parking garage and pointed the
speeder into the evening sky which was an interesting shade of purple.  The
Rozarian moon shone nearly as bright as the Rozarian star did during the day. 
    “It means, she's trying to get him to give
up that nasty habit of reading our minds so he can see.  If he's not going to
wear his sensory lenses, then he has to hang on to her.  Right?”
    “He can't see?” Luci gasped.
    “You didn't know that?  Oh,” I realized. 
“I guess that isn't public information.”
    “Blessed Saint,” she breathed as we come
upon the estate and I entered the code to release the security shield.  We
parked outside next to Thad's jaguar.  Luci didn’t move.
    “What?” I asked, climbing out of my seat. 
“Aren't you coming?”
    “Blessed Saint, Berkie,” she gazed at me
with her big green eyes.  “What is he?  He can't be mortal!”
    “Come on, Luci,” I said and headed toward
the house.  “Just act like he's normal.  He’s just one of our friends.”

    I joined Spaceforce because they paid my
tuition through nursing school.  I was right smack in the middle of fourteen
kids, number seven, and there was hardly enough money to eat let alone go to
college.  Don't ask me why my parents were breeding like rabbits
