mornings

When she awoke, it was morning, light streamed in through many small windows in a round room that was more like a globe than a room. The bed sat in the center of a dias that was surrounded on three sides by the round windows. She yawned and looked around at the brilliant sky and the clouds that keep passing through her field of vision. Her mind connected the dots and she realized she was in the lower room of the Freya- the Bombay? No it was called something else. But she was pretty sure it was the tiny room was the bomber would sit and sight down to drop the plane’s bombs. The room was to big to be inside the bomber’s nose. Vanessa wondered about this as she turned over and stretched out to yawn and came face to face with Michelle.

            She managed to smile sleepily at the other woman who smiled back. Vanessa’s mind strained to reach back into the last nights events leading up to this moment. She came up with nothing but an echo of a Katie Perry song and she blinked.

            “Good Morning.” Michelle said and winked.

            “Good Morning.” Vanessa managed, her throat suddenly dry- she would not look under the covers- she would not! “Did we- I mean, did I-?”

            “Not exactly.” Michelle murmured as she reached out to push a lock of Vanessa hair back. “Well, you did insist that I sleep with you, that I-“ She paused at the sudden look of shock in Vanessa’s eyes. Michelle dropped her hand as a giggle dug its way out of her throat.

            Vanessa blew out a sigh of relief then laughed as Michelle broke down into strangled laughter.  She watched the woman laugh before giving her a curious look.

            “I have this sneaking feeling that this cabin is larger than it looks on the outside.” She said staring around at it again.

            “It’s an effect of the Ship-stone plus apparently the Freya herself. Flynt calls it the “Pocket in a pocket effect.” Michelle said as she sat up. She wore a Night Ranger Tee Shirt.  “The Freya can bend the space immediately around the Ship-stone to allow for more room. So right now she makes this cabin bigger than it is by shrinking the flight deck back down to size. When we are on the flight deck this cabin goes back to it’s original size. Of course, she waits until I stow the bed and dress. (Well she better anyway).”

            “Wow.” Vanessa managed as she sat up as well, she wore a Cyndi Lauper Tee Shirt that was not her own. She looked down at it and then back up at Michelle’s pleasure. “Let me guess-”

            “Girls just wanna have fun.” Michelle finished for her.
Girls do!
