Chapter Eight: Plans and Portraits

A bright light forces my eyes open. The sandy beach stretching out in front of me causes me to blink in surprise and rub them. Nope, it didn't go away. Down near the water, I spot Aeryn sunning in a flowered bikini.

Flowers.

That confirms it; this has to be a dream. Still, as far as dreams goes, I like this a lot more than torture sessions or even River's riddles. Might as well enjoy it while it lasts, I think as I start to jog over to Aeryn. A hand on my shoulder stops me, though.

As a chronic lurker on this site, your wonderful story has inspired me to finally venture forth with a comment.

This is absolutely fantastic. I love Farscape and Firefly - you have captured all the characters from both shows beautifully. Especially love Chrichton and Harvey. I'm eagerly awaiting your next installment and will try to be patient as I understand how demanding real life can be. (sigh)

THANK YOU jebbypal! You are a VERY talented writer.
