Maia sat on the edge of her bed, she had just gotten out of the shower after getting back from Lana's dorm She had pulled on Susan's sweatshirt and held it tightly around her. "I miss you." She said into the silence.

Maia had been home from Babylon 5 for a week now and had yet to unpack. She was talking animatedly to Simon about the box she had made in Home Ec. "And we're going to do stuff every week to put in it and then we can take the boxes home at the end of the semester and the teacher had a riding crop. Can you believe that? I wonder what Susan would ( Read more... )

Maia laid back onto her bed, her bags unopened on the floor. She would unpack later, the flight back had been rough but the trip was well worth it just to see Susan for a few days. She was trying to think of what she could teach John for their assignment, she could offer to teach him how to win at cards but that would only work if you really knew ( Read more... )

Maia sat, several composition books were on the bed next to her. She was writing slowly, pausing every now and then before she added another sentence or two. She couldn't sleep the night before, it had been a long time since she had to write this much down in her notebooks. As she wrote out each image, each thought, they left her mind leaving her ( Read more... )

Maia had the cans of whipped cream on the night stand, the apple and strawberry flavored ones. She was a little nervous about asking Ivanova to do this but after the weekend they had, she figured Susan would be game for anything and after all she had agreed to help mold Maia's mind for the sake of education ( Read more... )

She couldn't bring herself to throw the sweatshirt away Susan had wrapped her in to keep her warm that night. Instead it was in the bottom drawer in the back corner of her dresser so she wouldn't see it. With a wet head and the ( Read more... )

Maia felt a lot safer in the dorms then she had in the cabin. She had an actual door between her and whatever these things were that had stolen everyones voice. Susan made sure Maia had the knock down Susan would use when she returned and Susan was the only person Maia was to open the door to. Hugging Susan tightly, begging with her eyes for Susan ( Read more... )

Maia frowned, she tried once more to speak and couldn't. She listened carefully and didn't really hear any sounds coming from around her, not even snoring from the other alcoves. Getting up out of the bed she opened up her curtain and poked her head out. Nothing...she walked into the Koala living room and didn't see anyone. Have I gone deaf? She ( Read more... )

Maia's hand slipped into Susan's, she squeezed it a little as they walked on. Susan was being very quiet so Maia stayed quiet as well. She offered her a soft smile as they walked on. It was a nice day and as far into the woods as they were, nobody was bound to come along.

((for Ivanova, NWS))

Maia's eyes fluttered open for a moment she thought she was back at the camp fire with Susan She moved a little in the bed, she snuggled into something soft and warm that smelled like the soap Ivanova used. Opening her eyes and half expecting her to be there she saw Susan's sweater wrapped around her. She wasn't in front of the campfire anymore ( Read more... )
