“Come on” Alyssa said to Sparks, “Let’s go see John and tell him we’re headed to Olympus Shipyard”.


    The beautiful young blonde offered her hand to Sparks and she led her into the Commander’s ready room.


    “Courseid in and we’re on our way Commander!” Alyssa told John, with a mock salute thrown in cheekily.


    “Very good XO” John grinned at the yful teenager.


    “Why don’t we get you settled in to a room” John suggested to Sparks. “This must all seem pretty daunting at the moment”.


    “You got that right” the culture shocked red-head sighed.


    “Ok let’s get going” John said, getting up and leading the two girls back out to the bridge “we need to go to our room and change anyway”.


    “We’re going to pack away ourbat gear” John said to Cra as he walked towards the elevator. “Are you ok holding the bridge for the moment?”


    Cra nodded “I wanted to do some long range scans for pirates anyway” she exined.


    “Ok let’s meet up for dinner in a couple of hours” John suggested.


    “See you in the Officer’s lounge!” Cra said, smiling happily as she waved them goodbye.


    John, Alyssa and Sparks took the elevator down to the lower deck. The elevator chimed happily and the doors swished opened smoothly.


    “That’s the Officers lounge through there” Alyssa said to her friend, pointing at the double doors at the end of the corridor on their right.


    “Our rooms are all up this way” The beautiful blonde girl said, pointing in the other direction.


    The group walked past the yroom and the other empty officers quarters beforeing to a halt at the door next to Cra’s room.


    “You can have this one” Alyssa said. “Decorate it however you like, but please keep it tidy” she requested politely.


    Sparks poked her head around the door and looked around the officer’s quarters quite amazed. “Wow, this room is huge!” she said, used to a tiny cot bed back at her workshop. She walked in and ran her hand over the covers on the king size bed. “This feels amazing, the covers are so soft!” she marvelled.


    “Let us know if you need anything” John said “We want you to be happy andfortable”.


    Sparks nodded absent-mindedly, as she walked around the room taking everything in. She couldn’t believe how luxurious her new quarters seemed. She felt like she might need to pinch herself to wake up as she walked back to join her new crewmates who were waiting in the corridor.


    “Cra sleeps in there” Alyssa exined, pointing at the adjacent room “Well some of the time!” she grinned mischievously.


    John looked a bit embarrassed and Sparks stared at him probingly.


    “You’re really sleeping with both of them?” She asked him with an usatory tone to her voice, feeling protective of her blonde friend.


    John opened his mouth to reply, before Alyssa cut him off. “Yes and if you’re lucky he’ll be sleeping with you too! Isn’t it wonderful?” She grinned, with a cheeky look on her face.


    That put a quick end to John’s interrogation by Sparks and she blushed bright red with embarrassment.


    “I’m sorry Sparks” Alyssa said “I didn’t mean to make you feel bad, It’s just better if we’re all open with each other” she exined. “I promise you, my life has been absolutely amazing since I met up with John and I want that for you too” she said earnestly.


    The statuesque young woman enfolded her smaller friend in aforting embrace. They hugged for a while, with Alyssa just providing reassurance andfort for her overwhelmed friend. John had a quick thought and Alyssa looked at him and nodded her approval with a warm smile. He disappeared into their bedroom.


    Eventually Sparks pulled back from the hug and looked up at the beautiful blonde.


    “It’s weird, you remind me of my old friend, but you just look and sound so totally different” she said, struggling to exin.


    “I’m still me” Alyssa smiled back at her friend fondly.


    “Yeah but it’s like you’ve turned into Alyssa Plus. You used to be a bit shy and introverted and only really opened up when it was just the two of us. The way you were on the bridge was amazing!” The redhead went on.


    Alyssa tilted her head to the side considering her friend’s observation. “Do you like the new me?” She asked quietly.


    “You’re a bit intimidating, but yeah, I like the new you a lot!” Sparks said honestly.


    “Well that’s all that matters then” Alyssa said with a grin. “Come on, I need to get out of this armour!” She led her smaller friend into her huge bedroom and then through to the walk in wardrobe.


    The redhead marvelled at the opulent luxury of their room and the impressively huge four poster bed. When she followed her friend through the first of the two doors to her right, Sparks eyes were so wide, it looked like they were about to fall out of her head.


    “This is just your closet?” She asked stunned.


    “Uh-huh” Alyssa said as she stood in the middle of the room, unzipping herbat armour and piling up the ceramic ted sections on the floor. She noticed John’s gear was neatly stowed away in the corner, so she ced hers next to his in its usual spot.


    She felt stiff from wearing the armour for several hours, so she stretched her arms over her head to get the kinks out of her muscles. She heard a startled gasp behind her and she turned around to look at Sparks.


    “You’re naked!” Sparks gasped, reddening up in embarrassment again.


    Alyssa looked down at her gloriously nude body in mock amazement “Why yes I am!” she eximed. “Do you like?” She asked, posing provocatively.


    Sparks made a concerted effort to get over her prudishness and gulped loudly. Alyssa looked at her with a raised eyebrow as if asking the question again and Sparks nodded tentatively.N?velDrama.Org: owner of this content.


    “Would you like to look like this?” Alyssa asked pointedly.


    “You know I could never look like that” Sparks mumbled embarrassed .


    “Well we’ll just have to wait and see, won’t we” Alyssa replied archly. “Ok now strip off those clothes, let’s go have a shower.” she said happily “I really want to wash Karron off me!”


    Sparks gulped again, steeling herself and then shyly began to remove her clothes. Alyssa waited patiently and then threw her a towel “Let’s go!” the ravishing blonde said cheerfully.


    Alyssa led Sparks into the adjoining bathroom and sashayed over to John, who was sitting in the huge bath and kissed him tenderly. Sparks squeaked and tried to cover herself with the towel, her earlier bravado in the briefing room long forgotten.


    “Come on you, let’s get that shower” Alyssa said, walking back to Sparks and leading her to the shower. John closed his eyes and sank a bit lower into the bath to save the girl further embarrassment.
