Cally looked down at her dinner, she poked it with her fork and watched as it jiggled on the tray. The mess hall was loud with the din of conversation and loud laughter. Cally’s lip curled back and she grabbed the bottle of Ketchup that was sitting in front of her. Without thinking she dumped the sauce over her soggy rice and gelatinized “meat”.
“Frakking protein,” she muttered as she forked a bit into her mouth.
She heard Jammer’s laugh and she looked up, the Chief rolled his eyes but Cally could see a smile quirking the corner of his lips.
“I love how you think you’re funny,” Seelix quipped, “it’s so cute.”
Cally noticed the door to the mess open and she saw a group of pilot’s come in. Crashdown is in front and when he looked up she smiled. It wasn’t a smile of reflex that she saved for Kat or Dr. Balter it was genuine and full of teeth.
Crashdown returned the smile, with his trademark Crash grin, and she smiles wider trying not to blush. This doesn’t go un-noticed by Seelix whose sitting opposite her.
Seelix took a long drink before leaning over. “What’s going on Cally?”
“Uh, I don’t know what you’re talking about.”
“Right and you’re just staring and grinning like a fool for scientific reasons.”
“No,” Cally replied.
“Hmm,” Seelix replied, knowing it would get a rise out of her friend. “Do you like him?”
“No,” Cally replied, “oh Gods,” Cally says when Seelix shoots her a ‘yeah right’ look.
“Come on; let’s go someplace where we can talk properly.”
“Okay,” Cally says and the girls leave the boys to eat and head back to their bunks to talk,
Knowing they wont be interrupted for a while.
Meanwhile Crashdown is sitting poking his dinner around the tray but looking over at cally and seelix talking, they are obviously deep in conversation, he see’s seelix ask cally something then her shake her head saying no. She looks at seelix her eyes wide and quite obviously a little shocked. He hopes she’s okay.
“Crash what do you think?” Helo asks
“Huhh, about what?” Crash says realising he wasn’t paying any attention
“Man, where were you!!!”Helo laughs
Crash looks back across at where Cally was sitting to see they have gone.
So he turns back to the others.
“Just spaced out, iam tired man, but what where you saying? Sorry!”
“Was just asking if you where up for a game of triad?”
“Yeah man, why not” crash says starting to eat his dinner.
He smiled to himself. It was nice to have someone look happy to see you. Even if he had never really had more than a handful of conversations with her, that didn’t matter though. He pushed all thoughts of the young Specialist out of his mind and tried to focus on the conversation that was happening around him. He was curious however, as to why Cally and Seelix had left so suddenly.
‘Maybe they are off talking about you’, the thought came unbidden into his mind and he mentally shook his head. That was nonsense, what would those two deck hands have to say about him anyway?
“Okay.” Seelix said, “Let’s start from the beginning.
Cally looked a bit confused, “if you’re looking for a torrid love affair, you’re going to be disappointed Vanessa. Iam just intrigued”
"Intrigued!!! gods cally that’s more then you being intrigued about crashdown, ive known you forever cally, your my best friend, and i know when you like someone, and frak you LIKE crash" seelix said
“or maybe...you want to frak crash" she says grinning at cally,
Who’s completely shocked by what Vanessa just said to her?
"Van... i don’t wanna frak crash..." cally says not sure if she said it for seelix or herself
"Why not?" Seelix demanded.
"I…uhhh...seelix" cally says flopping down onto her bed
"Is it someone else?" Seelix said,
"Jammer? Helo? 'Tyrol"
"Vanessa!" Cally yelled, pitching her pillow at Seelix.
“Well?” seelix says
“NO, god dammit Vanessa, there isn’t anyone else”
Seelix smiled, looking smug “I knew it”
“Well what do i do about it? Like he’s ever going to be interested in me”
“I did not just hear you say that”
“I think you did, and it’s true, he’s a pilot, and a LT and iam just a knuckle dragger”
“What have I got that he could possibly want seelix?”
“How do you know he’s not attracted to you? Have you asked him?”
“no, but come on, there are far more prettier girls here then me"
Seelix sighed, “I don’t know how you’ve managed to miss it but I’ve seen the way some of the males on this ship look at you. It might not be the attention you want, but you have to get that frakking stupid idea out of your head.”
“Its easy for you to say, you’re gorgeous”
”Do you see them beating the door down?” Seelix retorted, she thought to herself for a moment, there was a certain Tactical Officer that had caught her eye, but that didn’t matter.
“Why is it the one guy I want to look at me like that doesn’t?”
Seelix was silent for a moment; she noticed that Cally was looking down at her hands. “Well, I can’t speak for Crashdown Cally, but it’s scary, putting yourself out on the line.” She smiled, “all I can say is that if Crashdown can’t see how great you are than he can go frak himself.”
“Id rather he frakked me” cally giggled
“I don’t know what to do seelix; do I put myself on that line and risk looking like an idiot, by telling him? Or do I keep quiet?”
“I don’t know.” If she had known, she probably wouldn’t spend so many nights in her bed, alone.
"Maybe, take it slow. Get to know each other, see if he's really worth it."
“God, Vanessa, how do I do that though, it’s not like I work with him everyday”
“Well,” Seelix said, “we could always conveniently find ourselves in the rec room tonight.”
“I like the sound of that” cally says laughing now
“It’s what they pay me for,” Seelix said, laughing in turn when Cally gave her a hug.
“Okay, then lets go… bag me my man” cally said with a snort.
“What about bagging ‘my man”
“Vanessa, you gotta just put yourself out their” cally said trying not to laugh at using seelix’s own saying.
"Put myself out where? On the frakking consol!?"
“Your bad, Vanessa, bad to the bone” cally says laughing, seelix rolled her eyes and grumbled, as she stood and followed cally out of their bunkroom.
