Dreams do come true

Chapter 34

61 days to Earth

The darkness of space. Maybe that should be the title of the book Nia was writing with Kara.
Everything was so dark, even when it wasn't.

Dark didn't have to mean something negative, and they could help shine a light on it — see what she did there?

The book would have some angsty elements, of course. Nia's time at the dust storm was not something she was going to ever forget, even if her own nightmares had stopped.
But still, looking at the window was mesmerizing and people should know this darkness could make you feel empty and small, while also powerful and alive.

She missed Brainy. She mostly wished he was there with her. She wanted to travel the whole universe with him. Though sometimes she just wanted to be with him, even if it was on Earth. She really missed him. And having two couples that constantly acted like newlyweds on the ship was making it worse.

She thanked the Gays for Maggie Sawyer. They had fun making videos doing silly things with no gravity. They loved to tease the other women, making memes and stuff.

This time, Maggie had turned on the camera in the dining area. So when Nia heard Kara scream, she laughed before going there, just to get it out of her system.

"What happened?" Her acting was flawless.

"How come there's no more potstickers?!" Kara ate potstickers once a week, they were her make-or-break deal for going to space.

"I'm guessing we ate them all?"

"But we have two more months left! There were still a lot of them last week!"

Lena entered and immediately went to Kara. "Hey, what is it?"

"Someone ate all the potstickers, Lena!"

Nia could not believe the pout, the puppy eyes... This was gold.

"I'm sure there's more—"

"I ate the last one last night." Maggie interrupted and Nia was once again, grateful for her. If Lena called Kara 'love' they wouldn't be able to upload this gem. They wanted to have some fun but would never out their friends, even if everyone on Earth was already talking about how in love they seemed to be.

"You did what?!"

"Kara..."

"No, Maggie, how could you? How many did you eat? I know you never liked me that much, but this is low."

"What? Of course I like you, you idiot!"

Nia didn't know if she wanted to laugh at the whole situation or cry because it had backfired a little with Kara stating something she'd been thinking since they met. They'd always seemed to be at odds with each other because they both wanted Alex's happiness and protection, but they had very different ways of going about it.

"Whatever, is the rest of the food enough for the whole trip?"
Maggie got closer to her, placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Kara, listen to me. I love you. I like you enough to put a prank on you, okay? The potstickers are hidden somewhere in the ship. Before you get mad at me, though, this was mostly Nia's idea."

"Oh my God! Are they really hidden or is this really the prank and there are no more potstickers?"

Maggie and Nia couldn't hold it any longer, they burst out laughing at that. "They're hidden, you dork! There were like a hundred left!"

Kara's wide smile was a weird thing to witness right after seeing her ready to punch someone, it was like she was two very different people. She left to find the potstickers as though it was a game, happily asking them for clues as to where they were.

This was definitely going to the book, along with the heart-to-heart she had with Maggie later, but Kara would have to write that one.
