[Finished]A night of Surprises. . .

[Sharpay Harper]

Well I hope that's all that he sees. Sharpay then rolled her eyes as she dropped her fork and lifted her hands up,fingers spread apart in a tense way. "It's really great an all that you try to be different but sneaking little lectures in with half sentiment is not the way to go. And we are a team...we're both engineers serving on the same vessel are we not?"

Sharpay stood from her seat. "I believe we've already agreed on the help thing somewhere along the line,but I don't always need help.Please,don't smother me with your overly caring ways...not that I don't appreciate being cared about in at least some form."

She then walked over by the windows and looked out. Sharpay folded her arms,but not in an angry fashion,more in a soft thoughtful way. Things seemed to get a little complicated. Would this actually be a friendship that could last? Or for that matter lift off the ground? She didn't know.

[kamon]

Kamon watched as she walked to the window. He wasn't going to go stand with her, at least not yet. He let her be for a while. He finished his pasta and got rid of the evidence. Sharpay, though, never left his mind, even for a second. She was hard to talk to. She was very defensive and never likes any kind of interaction. But maybe he was trying to drive too hard. He went back to the table and picked up the wood and carving tool and started carving into the wood. Kamon looked back up at Sharpay and quietly sighed. Putting the tools back on the table, Kamon stood up and walked over to the window, standing next to Sharpay. He looked out at the stars and said, "They're beautiful aren't they?" He gently put his arm around her shoulders.

[Sharpay Harper]

Sharpay had gotten lost in her own thoughts as she stood by the window. Her thoughts ran from the past to the present. Some thought made her skepticism rise and others made it drop. She even mulled over everything Kamon had said to her from the first time they met to the words over meal time. It all was quite interesting.

Sharpay absently reached up to her neck to play with a necklace she had gotten used to having around her neck,but her fingers found nothing to fiddle with.

"They're beautiful aren't they?"

"Hmmm?" Sharpay looked up at Kamon as he put an arm around her. "The stars? Yeah,they're wonderful." Though she didn't sound convincingly happy. Sharpay let out a soft sight as she aloud herself to rest her head on Kamon's shoulder. She figured he wouldn't mind or at least hoped he wouldn't.

[kamon]

Kamon was going out on a limb with this. He didn't know how even he would react. "This is something Tabitha and I used to do before she died. We would lay down on the grass and look up at the sky." A tear rolled down his cheek and onto the top of Sharpay's head. Just the thought of Tabitha saddened his heart. But something warmed his heart. "I've never been able to look at the stars like this since then." He looked down at Sharpay hoping she would look back at him.

[Sharpay Harper]

Sharpay listened to what came out of Kamon's mouth. She was not quite certain if she should be angry or feel sorry. Was he comparing her to this other girl...this Tabitha? Though Kamon had said she had died the thought that he just might be comparing did get her steamed.

Sharpay looked up at Kamon. "Look at them like what exactly?" Sharpay inquired as she shrugged his arm away,taking a step back.

[kamon]

"At all, Sharpay." She backed away from him. He continued to think about Tabitha and then did something he hadn't done for a long time. He became furious. Not at Sharpay but at his father. "Please go. I don't want you to see this." He went back into the bath room and changed into an outfit he had only for one thing. Destruction He stormed out of his quarters.

tag Sharpay and end Kamon.

[Sharpay Harper]

"Don't want me to see what?" But it was too late to get an answer since he changed and then stormed out of his quarters. This peaked Sharpay's curiosity,yet at the same time she was a little bewildered. Maybe I should have taken heed to an old songs words. Did she do something wrong?

Thinking on it Sharpay thought that it might have been her action of backing away that sent Kamon away. If that was the case he was overly sensitive. Sharpay let out a sigh and decided to just stay. He'd come back...eventually. So Sharpay walked into his bedroom. She laid on his bed on her stomach.

Her head resting where the feet normally went. She kicked off her boots one at a time before laying them at the head of the bed.

La de da de da...

[kamon]

Kamon came back into his quarters and immediately went to the sink. As he took the outfit off, he cleaned the cuts and dressed them. As he washed his face, his mind moved back to what happened as he left his quarters. "I hope she's alright," he said aloud. Kamon walked into his bedroom, only to find Sharpay laying on his bed!

[Sharpay Harper]

Sharpay looked up with just her eyes. "It's about time." She said as she glanced back at the time. Sharpay then looked at Kamon,her head lifted up,her feet as well. "You hope who's alright?" Sharpay inquired wondering exactly who he meant by 'she'. Sharpay hen began tracing her finger along the edge of the bed. "I know I'm not your mother, but where did you go, and what did you do?"

[kamon]

Kamon didn't want to talk about it now. "Don't worry about it. That's why I told you to go." This wasn't something that she needed to know about. It wasn't the side of him he wanted her to see. He had done so much wrong in the past. It was haunting him again.

[Sharpay Harper]

"Don't worry about it? Well I think it's a little late for that. Why do you think I stayed here and waited for you to come back? It doesn't work just one way you know...you be here for me and just expect me to trust you. It's kinda two sided. Don't you remember what you said in the turbolift?"

After that little bit of a lecture Sharpay sat on her knees. "I know it's not any of my business,but why are you..." Sharpay pointed at him with her right index finger. "Injured again? Don't tell me you did something incredibly stupid. Something that would require another trip to sickbay or just a someone that knows how to use a dermal regenerator."

[kamon]

"I'm not going back to sickbay. These can heal on their own." Kamon sat down on the edge of the bed. "Sharpay, I'm going to tell you something that I have never told anyone. The night Tabitha and my family died, Tabitha's family, with me went after my father and his men. We caught up to them." Kamon paused. he took a deep breath. "Long story short we completely destroyed them. every one of them, except my father. I hadn't planned on killing anyone, but I wasn't a very good fighter then. I stumbled and my disruptor pistol fired, killing one of my father's men. I promised myself I would never again allow that to happen." He went on, "I went to the holodeck and recreated the fighting part of that night."

[Sharpay Harper]

"You know what I think...I think you seriously need to talk to a counselor. I also think you should let me run a dermal regenerator over your injuries since you don't plan on going to sickbay. No need to worry either,I have basic first aid training."

Sharpay moved a little closer and put her hands behind Kamon's neck,and pulled him a little closer to her as she leaned in and kissed him again. That one she couldn't very much help. It was based on impulsiveness actually; the other two were basically because he told her to loosen up.

[kamon]

Kamon let the kiss linger for a bit, but then came to his senses. "Why do you keep doing that?" He knew right now she didn't have feelings for him, unless there was some miracle happening. "I'm done seeing counselors. They all tell me the same thing. 'Go confront your father.' I would follow their advice if I knew where he was." Kamon sighed. "I'm sorry. I don't mean to take this out on you." He brought his hand to graze across her cheek and then he stood up to get a dermal regenerator. he brought it back and handed it to her.

[Sharpay Harper]

"Keep doing what?" Sharpay asked knowing exactly what he meant,but pretending not to. Of course she was sure he'd catch on and do one of two thing; say 'you know what I'm talking about' or plainly say 'keep kissing me'. Either way she was prepared...at least she thought so.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to take this out on you."

When Kamon grazed his hand across her cheek she briefly closed her eyes as she felt a little shiver run down her spine. No...you didn't like that. She thought to herself firmly. One he's your boss and the other,you don't want to end up in another mess.

"You're not taking anything out on me,but I'll accept your apology all the same." Sharpay said when Kamon came back into the room. She took the dermal regenerator he handed her,and repositioned herself on the bed to get more comfortable. "You'll have to take those dressing off...one at a time of course."

As she waited a thought came to Sharpay. "Kam,if you did know the whereabouts of your father would you confront him if you had someone that was willing to go with you?"
