The Last Woman

Orders

"Rise and shine Z!" An overly happy Lister sung as he and Cat crashed into her room the next morning.

"Piss off goits," She muttered burying herself further into her bed.

"Well if you recall you actually have to do what I say today." Zora could practically hear the smirk in his voice.

Zora threw back the duvet and pouted.
"Why did I ever agree to that?" She sighed heavily.

"Because you were being smug and thought you couldn't be beaten," Lister replied. "Now get up I've got some things for you to do for me."

"Ugh, fine just let me get dressed," She groaned and shooed the pair from her room.

Deciding today was going to be an annoying and uncomfortable day, she put on her favourite clothes which of course were the ones that had belonged to Rimmer. If anything other than being comfy they would also serve as a little way to get back at Lister today for it always seemed to annoy him a little every time he saw her wearing them. It made her think of the expression she always saw cross Rimmer's face when he saw her wearing them.

She shook the thought from her head and spent and little time working on the light bee before Lister got suspicious and barged back in dragged Zora from the room.

He spent no time at all in setting Zora off on various tasks, getting him lagers, curries and even fish for Cat. She has cleaned his and Rimmer's room, deal with the socks in the bottom of the wash bin that even Kryten wouldn't touch and then proceeded to spend half an hour trying to scrub her hands clean no matter what the scouser said.

When she finally felt that her hands were free of any strange organisms that had potentially evolved from the dirt and grime on those socks, Zora went back to Lister and Cat.

"I swear to God Dave if you make me do anything else like that I'm going to make you pay," She half threatened throwing herself onto Rimmer's bunk.

"You know, we could complete the look if you like. Cat can grab a sharpie and we'll draw an 'H' on ya head," Lister suggested teasingly. "I mean you've already got the clothing, complaining and location down."

"You're right, she is turning into goalpost head!" Cat laughed still tucking into his fish.

"I am not turning into Rimmer," She objected. "I ,at least, like having fun," She added though immediately felt a little guilty the moment it left her lips. She knew that wasn't true from the time they had spent in 'better than life'.

"Well then, in the spirit of fun I have a dare for you. Not that you have much choice in it anyway." Lister grinned balancing precariously in his chair with lager in hand.

"It can't be worse than your smegging socks," Zora grimaced as the boys laughed at her disgust.

"Last thing for the day, I promise," Lister swore. Zora raised an eyebrow not quite believing her friend in the slightest.

"This better be it it's already getting late and I've done far too much for you two today," Zora laughed as annoying as some of the things had been the day had been far from horrific they'd still mucked around, blasted music and caused all sorts of chaos that she'd no doubt have to rectify later in the week.

"I want you to dye your hair," Lister announced.

"Where's the catch here? What colour am I dying it?" She questioned the scouser.

The Cat was the one to present Zora was the box of hair dye of which the woman on the box had some neon green hair. She started eyes won't at the box at the moment before she sighed and accepted her fate.
