Title: Show MeAbout: This is an old idea that I just rediscovered. The following is an excerpt from the story - which is going to be very long when it's finished (for a fanfic at least.) I am still in the beginning of it, and it's six pages already. Whoo.
Version: 3.0
Janice Blair couldn�t believe where she was. She took a sip of her red wine synthehol, looking around the room in awe. T�Perra�s quarters were fascinating to say the least. Janice shared her room with Lily, but T�Perra lived alone. Her room was filled with books and fascinating artifacts from alien cultures and ancient earth. Janice�s favorite piece was a prisoner�s coat replica containing an upside down pink triangle on the breast.
�In the early twentieth century there was a great war on Earth.� T�Perra explained. �In the country of Germany millions of people were rounded up and put into concentration camps. Among them were homosexuals. The lesbians were actually viewed as asexual since women weren�t seen as sexual beings, and they were forced to wear black triangles. This jacket, however, was the jacket of the homosexual male, who was forced to wear an upside down pink triangle on his shirt. That little triangle became the gay pride symbol when the civil rights movement started after the Stonewall Riots, which is a whole other topic in and of itself.�
The commander�s cabin also contained books, a mini bar, and a few other luxuries. It contained a lot in such a small space, but it was somehow uncluttered.
This was their third date, and Ensign Blair was both surprised and proud. The truth was, she and Perry had been having a wonderful time, she felt. They spent many meals together and laughed quite frequently at even the smallest things.
Janice knew she was breaking her promise to Lily. She was falling hard.
Perry, on the other hand, felt she took more amusement in the relationship. Janice was like a fun new toy, and she enjoyed every bit of their play.
�Perry,� Janice broke their momentary silence and looked up at her companion. They were both sitting on the floor, their legs stretched out. They supported themselves on one arm, leaning toward each other.
�I must say,� Janice continued, blushing a bit and feeling the slight effects of synthehol working on her system. �I have never had more fun than when I�m with you. You make even the mundane seem like a carnival.�
�Mmm�� Perry replied, looking from Janice�s mouth to her eyes. �I like a girl that uses words like �mundane�.� Holding the other woman�s chin lightly, she leaned in to kiss her.
Their kiss was cut short, however, by the violent jolting of the ship.
