Stardate 3141.9

She was playing chess with Rupert. Losing. Again.
But in a blink she wasn't there. Where, she didn't know, either how or why. She waited. Alone. Waited a long time. In a room? A prison? Days and nights. In her dreams she heard Rupert whispering.
But in a blink she was in her old own room, in her homeland, before she moved to F. Land. Her old friends were there, laughing and drinking coke. It seemed they were having a pyjama party. A very long pyjama party. Noisy and boisterous. If she closed her eyes she could believe Rupert was talking to her. But any blink brought her to him. She tried to toss her thoughts through the wind and the leaves. "I'm coming, please, my love, I'm coming, I'm trying, please, wait!!"
But the joy and the laughs seemed never-ending.
