Its my first try at writing Babylon 5 so be nice. If you have any comments of suggestions fell free to mail me. This stoy is how I feal things should have happen. All though I kind of knew they woulden't and wont. Spoilers for WWE! Enjoy!!! Writen by Terra White (Space Ace/Talynn) twhite@nemonet.com For All The Love Pt.1 Zack had two more hours left on his shift. That ment he was to go help check people in and out. Lately the "in" was a lot smaller that the "out". A lot. But hay, What is he going to say about it. That makes it easyer on the security. Nowadays the most of any race coming and going was the Minbari. He was very greatful that they helped them against earth. If thay dident, a shiver went up his spine, I dont want to think about that. A ship had just docked and there were about five people coming in, and about three times that going out. Zack desided to let the others on the post take these and he would get the next group. They wouldent be ariving for another half an hour. Leaning against the bulkhead he watched who was coming in. Two human males, a Centauri male and female, I wander if they are married, and someone in a robe with the hude over their head. I wonder if its another Minbari, thats the way they usualy come onto the station. He noticed the peoson did not stop to chech in. "Hay, you." He ran up to the person. "You need to check in. Do you have an identacard." The pesrson looked at him as though he spoke in a foreign language. Oh no, not another King Arther. Then he noticed the person was a very attractive human female. She ruffled around in her pockets and pulled out the card. Oh that you. He though. "Well Ms. Talynn. Welcome to Babylon 5. I hope you have a nice stay." He began to walk off when he felt a hand on his arm. "Yes." "I need to speak with Ambassador Delenn. Where can I find her." She said. "Im not sure. Its late, she may be in her quarters. It would be better if you tried tomarrow." her replyed. "I'll do that." she said as she walked off. "Well thats gratitude for you." Zack shook his head and walked back to his post. *** Delenn walked into the war room and noticed the lights down. There was only one person left in the room, John, and he was asleep. She was glad that the others did not desterb him. He was not sleeping that much lately. She walked over to the table and sat next to him to watch him sleep. His face showing different emmotions while he slept. She wished that she could keep the bad dreams away from him. Thay hurt him so much. He started humming and startled her. She knew he snored in his sleep but not hum. She lestened to him trying to remember every hum. Suddenly he stoped and rased his head, still half way asleep. "John" He looked at her then smiled. He liked waking up to something beautiful. And to him, she was. "Yes Delenn." "You should go to your room when your tired." a smile, "It would be better for you." "Yah, but then I wouldent get to see you when I wake up." A slight blush went accross Delenn's face. He noticed. "Im sorry, I dident mean to embarrass you." "Can I ask you a question." "Sure." "You were humming in your sleep. What was it that you were humming." "Humming, well thats a new one. I have never been told I humbed before. Do you remember any of it, because I don't. Yes of course she remembered it, she remembers all she herd and humbed it back to him. As she did he smiled and stude. "Come on, I'll do better that just tell you what it is." In his room he looked through an old box and pulled out a data crystle. "This was given to me by my father. Its of an Earth song past down through many generations. He gave it to me when I was ninteen, and told me to play it to someone special. I had forgotten about it." He poped the crystle in the player. "Play." Don't Take The Girl Words and Music by Craig Martin and Larry W. Johnson Johnny's daddy was takin' him fisin' when he was eight years old-- A little girl came through the front gate holdin a fishin' pole His dad looked down and smiled, Said, "We can't leave her behind Son I know you don't want her to go, someday you'll change your mind." And Johnny said, Take Jimmy Johnson take Tommy Tompson Take my best friend Bo. Take anybody that you want as long as she don't go Take any boy in the world -- Daddy, please don't take the girl. "John I dont understand." "Shh," he looked at her with a smile, "listen to the rest." Same ol' boy, same sweet girl, ten years down the road He held her tight and kissed her lips in front of the picture show. A stranger come and pulled a gun and grabbed her by the arm Said "If you do what I tell you to, there won't be an harm."^¿ And Johnny said "Take my money, take my waller, take my credit cards Here's the watch that my grandpa gave me, here's the key to my car. Mr., give it a whirl, but please, don't take the girl. John moved closer to Delenn and layed one of her hands on his chest and held it there. Some ol' boy, same sweet girl, five years down the road There's gonna be a little one and she says, "It's time to go." Doctor said, "The Baby's fine but, you'll have to leave 'Cause his mama's fadin' fast," and Johnny hit his knees. And then he prayed, "Take the very breath you gave me, take the heart from my chest. I'll gladly take her place if you'll have me Make this my last request Take me out of this world, God, please, don't take the girl. "Delenn, this shoes a boy and a girl growing close. So close in fact that the boy would rather have his life taken before hers."^¿ "Why would you be humming that in your sleep." she asked but really knew. John looked into her eyes and said. "Because If I had the chance to save your life and it ment losing mine. I would do it without thinking twice. She smiled. Then, John noticed, she looked like she wanted to ask a question. "John," she paused, "What is a credit card." He laughed at that. "A credit card is a form of money they used a long time ago." She looked at her hand still on his chest. And he looked at her, hoping she would not move it. She placed her other hand next to the first and John smiled. He wraped his arms around her and they layed down on the couch. Watching each other and no more, they fell asleep together. *** Sharidan awoke to what he thought was the most beautiful sight, Delenn. She was still asleep in his arms. There was a lock of her hair in her face and he ever so gently moved it. He could smell her hair, the sweet smell he seemed to dream of. He wished that this time could last forever. Looking into her face, and softly touching her check. Then moved his hand up to her crest then back down. Suddenly her eyes open and looked into his. "Sorry for wakeing you." "Dont be." "Do you want to take a shower." "Yes, but I will take one in my quarters. Later." Looking into each others eyes their hearts started beating faster. Delenn moved up to be face to face with him. Their lips met and held there, neather wanting to part. John's link beeped, and they parted. "Why does this always happen." he lifted his hand up. "Sheridan, Go. "Captain, Its Ivanova. Me and Lenner are in your office, he is worried about Delenn. He has tried to contact her this morning and cannot find her." John looked at Delenn which had droped her head on his shoulder. "Susan tell Lenner that the Ambassodar is fine and that she is hear. He will be able to contact her in about an hour." "Thank you sir. Ivanova out." "I hope I didn't overstep. I wanted to give you time to take a shower." Delenn looked at him again. Her eyes saying everything. Of course it was fine with her. She moved off him and stude, then set on the other end of the couch so he could get up. "Oh," he groned as he set up. "my arm is cramped." tring to rub the pain away. "Let me do that." Delenn said moving to rub his shoulder. It was stiff. She knew it was from her sleeping on it. "Im sorry, John. I caused you pain." she did her best to help him. "Delenn," he said wile standing up and standing her up with him. "you did not cause me pain, my arm did." "I know but I..." He stoped her by leaning over and kissing her. "You did not cause me pain." She said no more about it. She wanted to stay with him but knew that Lenner would be contacting her in a half hour. "John, I must go. That is if I want to take that shower." she was seriously thinking of passing on it. "I know." he looked into her eyes. "How about meeting in the garden later. Say for lunch, I'll bring a picnic basket." "That would be lovely." They parted and she left his quarters. He stood there and watched her go. "But not as lovely as you." he said to himself. ***^¿ Delenn went to her quarters and took her shower. She was seting on her couch when her door chimed. "Come." Lenner walk in. Bowed and walked over to her. "Delenn there was a message that was left for you in the office. I did not see the person who left it though. I have not opened it. "Thank you Lenner." she took the message and read it. Her face never wavering a bit. "Is that all Lenner." she ask him when she was done. "Yes." "Very well. I have a meeting I must attend." she stood to leave. "May I go with you." he asked. "No, I must go alone." she bowed to him as he did the same. Arriving at the garden she looked for anybody that would need her help, but saw no one. She went over the message and tried to find something that would help her understand who it was. But all the message said was to meet them in the garden and be alone. She was in the garden and no one was around. As long as she was in the garden, she would meditate wile she waited for the person. She sat with her eyes closed for about an hour then opened them. To her suprise there was a human woman setting accross from her also meditating. Suddenly the womans eyes opened. Then she stood and bowed with respect. "Delenn, I am glad you got my message." "Yes, and I'm sorry, I did not hear you come in." which suprised her more. Humans ususlly are loud even when they try to be quiet. "Dont be. I did not want to desterb you while you were meditating. I feel that it is important to meditate to control ones self, and other reasons. I do not have the right to destrupt it." "You have a better understanding of it than any other human Ive meet so far." a pause. "So what can I do for you. "I need a cargo bay that is empty. I was wanting to know if you could talk to Captain Sheridan about it for me." "A cargo bay." Delenn though about it for a second. "May I ask why." "Yes, that is only fair." She thought about how to put her words. "I need it for a test, and to teach. It will be nothing illegle. But I will need for the entrance to be coded." Delenn wondered why this human needed the cargo bay to teach someone. And why did she not go to John directly. "How do I know you are telling the truth." "This should assure you." she stared rolling up her sleeve and on her forarm was a mark. "That is the triuminary. Where did you get that mark at." Delenn looking as though she would jump up and run. "I was born with it. Delenn, I may be human but I'm not from Earth. I have been trained from birth to come here and teach one person. I need the cargo bay to do this." Delenn was not sure what to say. But she knew she would ask John for the bay. "If I get the bay, how can I reach you." "I will be here this time tomarrow." she got up to leave. "Wait, what is your name." Delenn asked. "Talynn." she bowed and left. *** Garibaldi walk in C and C and saw the Captain. He just excused himself to go to lunch with a smile on his face then left. Garibaldi walked up to Ivanova, stude there untill she noticed him. "What can I do for you Mike." she said without looking at him. "Has the cap't been like that all day." he looked twards the door Sharidan left out of. "Yeah," she said finnally looking at him. "he hasent been like that for a long time. "Do you know what put him in that mood. He needs it more often." She motioned for him to come closer. She didn't want anybody to hear what she was going to say. "Delenn." she said with a shrug. "This morning Lenner tried to get ahold of Delenn and she was nowhere to be found. I called to captain because I though he should know. "And." *this is getting good.* he thought "Well, she was with him." Garibaldi's eye brow went up. "Really." "Yep." "Well, well, well. I think their getting serious." He turnd and walked out of C and C. Ivanova turned back to her dutys and smiled. *** Sharidan trying to figure something to take for his and Delenn's lunch desided to ask Garibaldi. "Sheridan to Garibaldi." "Garibaldi here, what do you need cap'n." "Where is the best place to get something for a picnic." "A picnic. Captain is there something I should know about." "NO! Now are you going to help me or not." "Sure cap'n. Meet me at the Zocalo." "Thanks, out." When Sheridan arived at the Zocalo Geribaldi was already there. With a smug look on his face. There was a picknic basket next to him. "You owe me big time for this." "For what. I just wanted a few idea's." Garibaldi shook his head. Pointed to the basket. Then handed it to Sheridan. "Every thing you need is in the basket. Hope you enjoy it." he turned and left. "Strange. Very strange." he turned and walked to the garden. As Sheridan walked into the garden, a couple left, leaving it empty. He walked over to one of the benches and set the basket down. Then he walked over to the Japanese rock garden. He picked up a bunch of little rockes and started arranging them into words. Not knowing she was there, Delenn watched him spell out--I LOVE DELENN, with the rocks. He staired at them. "Hi John." she finally said in a quiet voice. He jumped up. "Oh, I didn't notice you come in." he said trying to cover what he did. She smiled. "Why are you trying to hide that from me." she pointed to the rocks. He looked down at his face turned red. She saw this and walked over to him. She leaded over to his ear and said. "I love you too." Her voice was music in his head. His face got even redder. *How is she doing this to me.* he though. *I feel like I'm ten getting my first crush.* They walked over to the picnic basket. "So," Delenn said. "What are we having for lunch." "Actully," he said sheepishly, "I have no idea." he started to unpack to basket. "I didn't know what to bring, and my cooking is terrible. I asked Garibaldi what was good for a picknic. When we meet, he already had it done." "You know, I could have brough something." "I know, but I told you I would bring lunch." a pause. Delenn took the blanket that was setting on top and spred it out. As they looked at the different foods, Sheridan smiled. "What are you smiling about." Delenn asked couriously. "The food." he waved his hands over it. "Garibaldi sure knows his stuff." "Yes well, the food is only a part of the picnic. The company," she said looking into his eyes, "is the best." She began putting food on their plates while Sheridan enjoyed the view. Delenn looked up at him. "What are you doing." "Enjoying the beautiful view." "But you are looking at me." With a smile he said, "I know." Sharidan watched Delenn eat. He saw that she ate slow and enjoyed every bite. He was happy for that. He would take a bite now and then, and usually when she said something about him not eating. He wasn't really hungry, he just wanted to be with her. "Do you mind if I lay down." he asked. "No, please do." she knew he worked hard. The station is not an easy thing to command. He moved closer to her, laying on his side with his head propped up on his hand. He watched every movement she made, trying to put it into his memery. His dreams even had her in them. Dreams of him taking her to Earth. Showing her where he grew up. The oceans and waterfalls. Places he though she would like. "John," he was still thinking of taking her to Earth. "John." she said again. He shook his head and looked at her again. "Yeah." "Are you finnished eating." "Oh," he looked at his plate and noticed he had not eaten much. "yes, thank you." She gathered up the things and placed then back in the basket. Then she looked at him. "What were you thinking about." "Taking you to Earth. To show you the oceans and waterfalls." "That would be hard to do, know wouldent it." "Yeah. It's just something that I have dreamed about." he spoke before he though and his face started getting red again. He covered his face this time, but Delenn still saw it. "John. Please don't be embarrassed. You are in some of my dreams to." she said trying to comfort him. The truth was, most of her dreams had him in them. He looked back up at her and smiled. His face was still a little red. Delenn smiled back and touched his face. He moved his other hand over hers. Then moved her hand to his lips and kissed it. He wished he had more time, but he had to get back to work. "John, I know you dont have much time left, so I want to ask you something. I really didn't want to bring it up during your break, but I think it is important." "What is it Delenn." "A person came to me today. They asked if I could get an empty cargo bay with a code for them. It seems real important, and I told them I would try." "Do you trust them." he looked into her eyes. "Yes." "Well then." a pause. "I'll have one cleard, and tell the person to stop by my office tomarrow morning. I will personally give them the code. "Thank you John." "Twas nothing." he stood. He wanted to see her tonight but didn't feel right asking. But he had an idea. "Delenn, do you mind droping that basket off in my quarters." "Not at all, but how am I going to get in." *Yes* he though. *I was hopping she would say that.* "Here," he handed her his identacard. "This will get you in. But dont lose it." She smiled at him. "I won't."

Enjoy. Spoilers WWE For All The Love Pt.2 "Cap'n" Garibaldi yeld, "watch out." He turned just in time to kock an arm swinging at him down. For some reason a few lerkers went nuts and started tairing up the station. Punching his opponet in the midsection, and then the side of the head put him out. Garibaldi also knocked one out. The security detail detained the rest. Zack looked at both Sheridan and Garibaldi. "You guys alright." he asked "Sure," Sheridan answered, "Were just having a little fun." Garibaldi laughed then looked at Zack, "Get one of them to Medlab. Ask the dock to check for and kind of drugs." Sheridan just nodded. "Sure thing." Zack then tured and left. "Well," Sheridan said. "Now, I officially off duty." A smile played accross his face. "I got someing I have to do. See ya Mike." He walked off. Garibaldi had to tell Ivanova this one. Walking twards C and C he called her on the link. "Susan, and you still in C and C." "No, just left." "Where are ... never mind" he saw he and ran up to her. "Hay, guess what." "Mike, I'm tired, just tell me." "Me and the cap'n just broke up some lurkers tairing up the station." "Yeah, so." she said starting to get annoyed. "So, he wasent fazed by it. When it was over he smiled and said there was something he had to do." Ivanova stoped. Looked at Garibaldi and grined. "He was never like that before. I think Delenn is getting to him." "Hay, those are my thoughts." Garibaldi said jokenly. "Care for a drink. My treat." "Sure, how could I pass that up." *** Delenn was in her room meditating when she herd the door chime. She smiled, knowing who it would be. "Come." she said still sitting. John walked in and saw that candles were the only thing lighting the room. "Im sorry Delenn. I didn't mean to desterb your meditation." "I had just finnished." she lied. She, of course, would never tell him that. She stood and walked over to him and handed him his identacard. He took it and put it in his pocket. He looked into her eyes, and watched the candle light dance in them. He found it entoxicationg. "Delenn, I have something I want to show you. But I want to use the display on the Whitestar." "Very well." The room that held the big display was empty. He was glad for that. He walked to different parts of the room looking at the blank desplay. Delenn was not sure what he was doing, but followed. He stoped and told her to stay right where he was standing. Then he walked over to the reader and put in a data crystal. He walked back to Delenn, stood behind and wraped his arms arround her. She layed her arms over his. "Play." he said softly. An image and sounds of water crashing against rocks appeared on the screen. There was a setting sun in the background, and the sky had shades of color from a light red to a light blue. Then the image changed to a great waterfall with a rainbow showing near the bottom. The images changed every three minutes, showing different areas. They arranged from the desert to glashers. Delenn was stunded at the variety. "Where are these images from." she said not able to take her eyes off the screen. "Earth." John said not even paying attention to the screen, but her. "All of them." she asked with astonishmen in her voice. "Yep." he answered. He was glad she liked what she saw. "I just wish I could actully take you to them places." She turned to face him, but made sure his arms stayed around her. She put her hands to his chest, then moved one to his face. "John, this is fine. I can see it, and hear what it sounds like. As long as you are here with me, I am happy." They walked over to the reader and he took out the crystal and handed it to her. Then he reached in his pocket and pulled out another crystal. He handed her that one as well. "What is this." she held up the second crystal. "Well, remember that song I played for you in my quarters." she nodded. "Thats what it is. I cant think of anyone in my life to give it to, that is more special than you." he smiled. Back on Babylon 5 and in Johns quarters, Delenn played the song again. "Thank you John. I will chearish them always." "And I will chearish you." he said then kissed her. They layed down on his bed, still not going any further that what they have already done. They fell asleep and their dreams were filled with the other. *** Delenn awoke in Johns arms. She noticed that he did not have on his uniform, but a tee shirt and a pair of shorts. She wondered how he managed to change without waking her up. She ran her hand through his hair. Then she layed her had on his cheek and moved her thumb accross his chin. She moved closer and kissed him even though he was still asleep. *Oh how much we want to be together.* John opened his eyes and smiled. Moved his hand to where her crest met her face. Then rubed his thumb over it. Delenn closed her eyes. "I hope are son's crest will be as beautiful as yous is." her eyes flew open. "Are son's?" she was not sure if she herd him right. "When I was lost in time, I went to the future. We were in a prison cell on Centari Prime. You told me of are son, David." he smiled. "You said that he was safe." She didn't know what to think. *Could it be possible.* She though about her own flash foward. *Or will she stop us.* She pushed that though out. "Lets consentrate on now. And leave the future there untill it comes." "Good idea." he kissed her. Delenn did not resist at all. Then she remembered Talynn. "John." "Yes." "I have a meeting I need to go to." she said not really wanting to leave him. He didn't push. He caired about her so much. He would do anything she wanted him to do. All she had to do was say the words. "Who's it with." "Talynn. She is the one that wanted the cargo bay." A smile went accross his face. "You know, I could go with you and give her the code. That way we can be together a little longer before I go to work." "That would be lovely." she loved how he found ways for them to be together. "I will need to stop by my quarters to change." "Fine with me." he got up and picked her up out of bed. "Can I carry you." "I do not think that would be visable." "Well, " he said putting her down, "I guess it woulden't." He put his pants on and reached for his shirt. But Delenn had it. She smiled. Walked over to him and set it to the side. Pulled his tee shirt off and helped him put on the other one. Then helped him put on his Uniform jacket. Then they walked to her quarters. Delenn layed out what she was going to put on. The next thing she knew John grabed them. He smiled and she laughed. "You know, if we keep this up, we'll never make it to the meeting." she said. "You helped me, I get to help you." She unbuttened what she had on and sliped out of it. John helped her into what she had layed out. Then he buttened it up for her. "Should I check the air-recycling again." he said then kissed her. They were setting in the garden talking then Talynn walked in. "John, this is Talynn. Talynn, this is John Sharidan, the captain of this station." "Nice to meet you sir." Talynn said shaking his hand. "Does this mean your going to let me use a cargo bay." "Yes, but I want to know who your going to give the code to." "You trust me." she said questionly. "Delenn does, and I trust her. So who will have the code." "You, Delenn, me, and one other." "Who." he insisted. "If I tell you, you cannot tell him." "Fine." Sharidan agreed. "Lennier." With that Delenn wondered why. "Why Lenner. He trained on Minbar" "Right. And that is why. He has a pretence that humans are not as developed in martial arts as the Minbari. There are many that are not, but still enough arround, and he must be ready for it." "Ready for what. You sound as though are people are going to war again." "The comming darkness captain. The darkness has already gotten some of the ones I've mentioned." "Very well. You got the bay." "Thank you captain. And thank you Delenn." bowed to Delenn then left. "Now with that out of the way," Sheridan said, "How about you staying with me tonight." "I have stayed with you the last two nights." she said with a smile. "Yes, but tonight you can bring some cloths to sleep in, and some for the tomarrow. That is only if you want to." "I would love to. What time should I come over." He got out his identacard. "Anytime you wish." he said handing her the card. "I'll be there." *** Lennier walked twards the cargo bay wondering who sent him the code to enter. A message was also left with the code. It told him not to tell anyone where he was going. He reached the bay and punched in the code. The door opened and he walked in, and was suprised. The bay was decerated and looked like the combat area on Minbar. At least the one within the Third Fane of Chu' Domo. In frount of him was a table. On it was traditional combat robes. A note told him to change, then sit on the mat. As he sat there, he noticed how similar everything was to his home. Then he noticed someone accross from him that was not there when he sat down. Their face was covered with a hood, so he could not tell who it was. "What am I doing here?" he asked. "*To be tought and tested.*" the person said speaking Minbari. He noticed by the voice it was a woman. He though she might be Minbari, but just because she spoke in Minbari did not make her one. The woman took the hude off. She was a human. "This would be unfair." he said "We will see." They bowed to each other then stood in a battle stance. Lenner went to strike first, and ended on the floor. His arm was twisted and a sharp pain went to his shoulder. But no sound was herd from him. "Just because I am human, does not mean I can not fight." she let go of his arm, then helped him up. The hand-to-hand combat went on for two hours. At the end they bowed one more to each other. "How did you get so good and Minbari combat." he asked. "I have been tought Minbari combat and Kung Fu all my life. As well and other things." "All your life. We have not known your people that long." he stated. "The Earth humans. Yes I know. I am from a different planet. My plant has many different races living as one. The humans on my world have not had contact with Earth for over 1500 years. We are trained and sent out on missions. Mine is here." "I would like to hear more about it" "If you wish." she said, "Come back hear for dinner. I will tell you what I can." "What is your name?" "Talynn." she said and bowed. Then she turned and walked to the room in the back. He went back to the frount, changed back into his cloths, and left. Talynn walked back out of the back room and gathered up the robes. Folded them and carried them to the back room. *** As Lennier walked into the bay again, he saw that nothing had been moved. Then he smelled what he thought was Flarn. He went to the back room and walked in. Talynn put a lid over a pan and set it on the table. "Please sit." Talynn motioned to the table. "I was not sure what to fix. I do not know what kinds of food you like." she lifted the lid. "Flarn! You know how to cook flarn." "Yes. I was taught how when I was ten." a pause. "It took me a while to get it right though." He tried a piece. "This is good." "I'm glad you like it." she replied. "Tell me more about your people." "Well, I'll start from the beginning." a pause. "A group of humans were taken from Earth about 1500 years ago. The ones that were taken were Kung Fu masters. They were droped off on a world with other races, they too had been taken from their home. Some of the races had already been in space but most had not. Their was only one building and they all went to it. All were frightend but were able to control their fear. In the building were books layed out for each race. The books told them they were chosen to teach and learn from each other. It also told them about a storage area, it had many boxes with dates on them. And told them not to open them untill that date arrived. If they did open it on a different date, they would be punished. They learned and tought each other, and opened a box on the date said. The books told them who would do what for the great cause. When I was born, the book told them to find me and teach me of both the Minbari and the Earthers. The way they found me was by a mark I was born with. Mine is a great mission. Most of the ones chosen to leave my world need to know only of one race. I needed to know both to accomplish my mission." "Are there Minberi on your world." "Yes, that is how I learnd how to fight Minbari combat. I was also tought Kung Fu by a human." a pause. "All my life I have been surrounded by Minbari and Humans to prepare me for this mission. I know most about you, Delenn, and Sharidan." "Does anyone know of your planet." "A few. We are well hidden, but some have found us. Most stay, some leave and keep are home a secret. There is one from here that knows about us. He is a ranger, Marcus Cole." "Yes, I know him well. Have you seen him? He is around somewhere on the station." "No, but it would be nice to see him again." "Well," he said, "We will just have to go look for him. I have an idea where he is ." Lennier said smiling. "That would be great." Talynn stood and grabed her cloke. Then raised the hude over her head. "Let go." He extened his arm for her to grab and she did. They went to go find Marcus. *** The bar in Downbelow was croweded. Marcus had finnished with his contacts and was enjoying a drink. He watched a group playing cards, and saw one of them cheating. He shook his head and smiled. *He better hope he doesent get cought. Down hear they'll kill him.* His eyes moved to the danser on the stage. It was a human this time. When ever he looked before, there would always be someone from a different race. In the corner of his, eye he saw someone set down at his table. He noticed it was Lenner. His head was covered but his face was visible. He had someone with him. He could not tell who it was though, a hood was over their face.^¿ "So Lennier, who's your friend." "Actully, I think she is your friend." he replyed. "Mine," he noticed the person take off the hude. "Talynn! What are you doing here." "Hello Marcus. And you already now the answer." "Your mission is here. On Babylon 5. I thought it would be somewhere else." She laughed, "It sounds like you don't want me here." "No, it's not that at all...So, who's your student." he looked at Lennier. Then pointed. "Not him is it." she just nodded. "But he can take me. And I..." "Let you win." she finnished. His mouth droped. He looked back at Lenner. "How many times have you beaten her." "None." was all he said. Marcus looked back at Talynn. She smiled. "If you wish, we can compeat again." "No, no, no, no, no. If you can beat him, I stand no chance." he was shaking his head. "So, do you want a drink." "Yes, thank you." she looked over at Lenner. "Water right." he staired for a second and then nodded. "Fine, be right back." she got up and went to the counter." "Marcus, how much does she know." "More than any of us, Lenner. And sence you are her student, she could know more about you than you do." "That would be impossible." "No Lenner, it isn't." Lennier's face went to a questioned look. Then Talynn sat back down, and looked at Lennier. "How come I have a fealing you were talking about me." she grined. "Talynn," Lennier began. "Do you know more about me that I do." She gave Marcus a 'your going to die' look. He just raised his hands. She let a breath out. "Yes Lenner, I do" "How." "Well, remember those books I told you about." he nodded. "Thats how. I do not know everything, but most of what I need to complete this mission." "Can you tell me about it?" She looked down. He noticed pain on her face. "No Lennier, I sorry but I can't." Not liking to she her in pain he simply replyed, "Very well. I will not mention it again." he ended with a nod. She looked back up at him. Still a little of the pain on her face. It hurt her to keep things from him. But she must. She looked back at Marcus. "I must leave. I have things to take care of." she said standing. Then Lenner stood. "You do not have to come. You can stay here and talk to Marcus." "Yes, I know. But I will go anyway." They took their leave with Marcus shaking his head. *Now if I didn't know better, I would say they were falling in love with one another.* then he thought a little more, and then shook his head. *Naw, wouldent happen* From twhite@nemonet.com Sun Aug 4 01:41:57 1996 Date: Fri, 19 Jul 1996 07:19:04 -0500 From: Terra White Reply-To: b5-creative@lists.best.com To: b5-creative@lists.best.com Subject: For All The Love pt.3 [The following text is in the "iso-8859-1" character set] [Your display is set for the "US-ASCII" character set] [Some characters may be displayed incorrectly] Seem this will never end Ah Spoilers WWE For All The Love Pt.3 Sheridan, getting into his quarters with a security override, wanted to take a shower before Delenn arived. He figured she would not come untill his shift ended. But what she didn't know is that he took off a half an hour early. Hopping in the shower, all he thought about was Delenn. In fact that was all he thought about the whole day. When he was done he wraped a towel around him and went into his room. Thats when he noticed Delenn setting on his bed. He stoped, then looked down at his towel he had around him. "Oh, I'm sorry. I did not hear you come in. I forgot to grab some cloths when I went to take a shower." his hair was dripping onto the floor. She smiled and stood. Walked over to him and ran her hands through his hair. "Still a little wet." she said. He laughed nervously. "Mind if I take a shower." "Sure. Go right ahead." She grabed her nightgown. Then went to take a shower. He got a tee shirt and a pair of shorts to put on. *Boy she pops up when your not expecting it.* A grin went accross his face. *And evey time she dose makes me feel better.* He herd the shower turn off. Then saw her walk in. She had what looked like silk gown on. It flowed over her like water. She noticed he had on a nother tee shirt and shorts. "So," John said. "What do you want to do. Do you want something to eat. Or drink." "If you have tea, that would be fine." He went to make her some tea. She followed him and watched him. As the water boiled they watched each other. *Funney* he thought *when we are together, I cant find words to say to her.* he turned and fixed them both a cup of tea. He handed her a cup, then grabed an orange. They went and sat on the couch. He sat against the arm rest with one leg on the couch. She sat leaning against him. He sat his cup down and pealled the orange. Pulled a slice off and bit into it. He then fed the rest of it to her. Setting the orange down he wraped his arms around her, and nusseled his nose into her hair. He loved the smell of it. He herd his com line buzz. "Why is it every time..." Delenn stoped him from saying more. "Just answer it John." she stood to let him up, then sat back down. He opened the link and saw Susan. His body straitend, and was all business. "Something wrong Susan." "No, not at all. I was just wondering if you wanted to join me and the others for a drink." His stance losend, then looked at Delenn and smiled. Then looked back at the screen. "No. Not tonight. I have plans." he said with a grin. "And I would like it if I was not desterbed." "May I ask what you are doing or going to do." "If I don't tell you, what are you going to do." he asked. She grind. "Now captain. What makes you think I would do anything." then she looked over for a second and laughed. Michael's face appered on the screen. "Well captain, Susan might not do anything, but I would." he smiled "So. Whats ya doing." He looked over at Delenn and motioned her to come to the screen. When they saw her their grins got bigger. Sharidan stood behind her and put his arms arround her. "If you must know. Im spending time with the most beautiful woman on this station. Now, " he glared into the screen. "I would like it if we were not desterbed." Susan and Mike fumbled for a momet. "Sure thing." Susan said. "For how long." Mike trying to get more information. "Untill my shift tomarrow." John spoke without thinking. "Auh, huh. We'll see you tomarrow then." he said then shut the link. Delenn turned to him. "The most beautiful woman on the station? Don't you think you took that a little to far." He shook his head. "Not in the least. In fact, I should have said Universe." he picked her up and she put her arms around his neck. He then carried her into his room, and gently layed her down on his bed. He layed next to her on his side, puting his hand on her cheek. And moved it down her neck and then her arm. He grabed her hand and held it to his lips and kissed it. She watched him ernestly. After he kissed her hand she turned onto she side. Moved her hand down his chest to the edge of his shirt. She pulled it off as he raised up anough for her to. She then reached down to pull her gown off. As she did this, John took his shorts off. They pressed against each other, looking into each others eye. They were one. One body, one spirit. >From now untill the end of time. *** In Michael's quarters, he and Susan were injoying a meal he fixed. Talking about work, then the subject changed to John and Delenn. "He's a gonner." Mike shook his head. "What do you mean." Susan asked. "Can't you tell. That mans in love. No turning back now." "Only men would see that in a bad way." she sounded discusted. "What wrong with being in love." He stood and walked over to her. She stood thinking they were going to the frount room to have a drink. She then noticed Mikes arms around her. She turned and they were face to face. "Theres nothing wrong with being in love." he kissed her. "Mike what are you doing." she said. But she didn't push away. In fact she put her arms around his neck. "Why shood the cap'n have all the fun." he grined. "Mike..." he kissed her again. "Mike..." and yet again. "Mike..." he kissed her yet again. "I'm gonna kiss you every time you say my name." "This cant be a good idea." she didn't really care though. In fact, she kind of liked this attention from him. She let go of his neck and unbuttened her tunic. "Is it getting hot in here." Garibaldi just smiled removing his tunic. "Yah, wanna cool down." She looked at him. He had a wicked smile on his face. I wonder what he ment by that. "What do you mean." she was almost afraid to ask. "Jump in the shower. Turn the cold water on. That shood cool you down." he just grined. "That sounds good." she turned and went into the bathroom. She shut the door and locked it. "Oh my dear. Thats not gonna keep me out." he went over to a drawer and pulled out a security key. Walked over to the door and unlocked it. Quietly he walked in and got undrest. Then got into the shower behind her. She had not noticed him yet, so he touched her back. She jumped about a foot. "Mike! How the hell you get in here." "My quarters remember. Plus it pays to be security." he grind then grabed her and kissed her. Before eather of them knew it they were on his bed. Susan did not know how passionate Mike was. They gave into each other, neather resisting for a second. *** In the carga bay Lennier and Talynn was talking about his lessions. "Most of them will be on Kung Fu. You must learn how to fight against it." "Can you teach me some of it now."^¿ "It is late. Do you not want to rest?" she asked the question, but did not want him to leave. "I will rest when I need it." he was always strait to the point. "You need to rest. You will need your strengh and a clear mind." she looked down to her feet. "If you wish, you may rest here. We would be able to start early in the morning." He wondered how she felt about him. She looked nervous. He did not want to leave. He felt strange. He told Marcus he loved Delenn, but now. He felt as though he was in love with her. He had only known her for a day, so how could that be. He knew that Delenn and Sheridan were together. They were ment to be together. Then there was Telynn. He has found out much about her. Her planet. Why she was here. She did not keep anything from him, except about what she knew about him that he didn't know. He brought up his hands and bowed. "It would be an honor." She looked up. A smile had played accross her face that he though was beautiful. *How could he feel this way about a human.* the thought went through his head, but was gone again. "There is a bed in the back room. You may have it." "Where are you going to sleep." "Here." "Then so will I." "But you do not sleep horizontal." she stated with consern. "But the bed you offered me..." "Its tilted. I usually sleep at an angle. Its at a lower angle than the Minbari use though." "Very well." he walked to the back room. When there he saw the bed. It looked as though it was half way inbetween what Minbari sleep on, and what humans sleep on. *Yes* he thought, *I will be able to sleep on this.* he layed down and noticed he was more tired that he thought. It did not take him long to fall asleep. Talynn opened her mind. She did not usually use her telepathic sence. But she wanted to make sure he was asleep before she went to watch him. After making sure he was asleep she shut her mind, and walked in. His hands were together on his belly, and looked so peaceful. Oh how she wished that he loved her and not Delenn. He already knows that Delenn and Sheridan belong together. She sat down on the floor and leaned against the wall. She wanted to watch him all night. She sat there for an hour, then fell asleep, and dreamed of him. *** Lennier awoke and saw Talynn on the floor. She was against the wall with her legs drawn up and holding them. Her head rested on her legs. *She must have came in after I fell asleep.* he smiled. He desided to make them something for breakfast. He saw a keep and opened it to see what she had. There was fruit and some other stuff he was not sure of. He grabed a couple oranges and apples. He then got a plate and arranged the sliced apples and oranges on it. Setting the plate on the table he went and sat by Talynn. Grasping one of her hads, she fell into his arms. Her eyes opened and looked up into his face. She stood in a hurry. "Sorry." she said wile rubbing her eyes. "For what." he asked. She looked at him. She was not sure. Just said the words. She just stood there and staired. "I found some fruit. Are you hungry." he said walking over to the table. "Yes, thank you." she ate silently. "When do we start todays lession." She stood, "Now." She handed him his robes he used before and walked out of the room. He drest and went after her. She was setting in the middle of the mat. He went over and sat facing her. "Lennier, you must know what I know." "How." "I will give it to you. But your mind must be clear. As if you were meditating." "How will you give this to me." "I am a telepath. I will slowly give you what I know of Kung Fu. It will be a shock to your body though. You will know in five hours what took me twenty years to learn. I will be here the whole time to make sure you will be all right. Even though you yourself did not go through the training, your mind will have. After I am done you will be unable to move for two days, and one of them you will not be conscience. I will gard you and help you if it is needed." "I understand." he closed his eyes. He felt her hands on his. They were so soft and warm. He started to think about what she looked like... "Lennier." he opened his eyes. She was smiling. "Your mind must be empty of all thought." He felt embarressed. Thats when he herd her in his head. 'Dont be.' He cleared his mind.

He jumped up thinking she had left or was hurt. Then he herd the stool flush. *Oh* he though *dont ever do that again.* Delenn walked back into the room seing John standing with a worried look on his face. "What is wrong John." "Nothing now" he said as his worried look turned into a smile. He wraped his arms around her, and she did the same. "How about if I take the day off, and you stay right here with me." he said running his fingers around her crest. "You can not do that, can you?" she was not sure. "Hay, Im the captain am I not. I think I need a one day vacation. That is only if its with you." "I would be glad to spend the day with you." she said smiling. "Well" he said as he grabed her hand and walked over to the com line. "I must make a call to Susan. But first I'll tell Mike. I sure he will love this." he started laughing. "Yes. I think they all want us together." she clung to him as he punched the key to Garibaldi. "Not as much as I do" he turned to her and kissed her. Mike's face appered in the view. He rubed the sleep out of his eyes. "Yea, cap'n" "You still asleep Mike." wondering what happen to him last night. "Nope. Just..." he looked to the side. "Ahm, cap'n, can you call back." "No. I just wanted to tell you Im going to take a one day vacation. Im going to relax for a change. I wont have my link so no one will know where Im at." "What" he herd somone say, but it wasn't Mike. "Susan?" he didn't know what to think. He looked at Delenn, she also had a suprised look on her face. "Yea, Susan." she said with a cover over her. Garibaldi just looked down and shook his head. "What...Never mind." he stoped himself. "Im taking today off." "Thats fine. But without your link." she questioned. "Yes. I don't want to be desterbed." he had a stern face. One that said *Drop it now.* She saw it and quickly retreated. "Yes sir." she said then left the view. "So Mike." he said shaking his head. "See you tomarrow." "See ya." The link went out. "Now that." he said pointing to the screen. "was enteresting." "Yes, I must agree with you." she put her hands on his bair chest. "Enough talking." she reached for his arm and guided him back to bed. "You have the day off. Its time to relax." He grabed her and layed her gently to the bed smiling. "Do you really think that I'm gonna get any rest." She just smiled back. "No." and she grabed behind his neck drawing him to her, and kissed him. *** Talynn finnished and let go of Lenniers hands. He fell back and hit his head on the floor. She could not let him stay like that. She went to the back room and got the pillow and the bed cloths and took them into the bay. She sat him up and arranged the things behind him to lean on. *That should keep him from laying horizontal.* She kept her mind open to make sure he was alright. She would not leave him wile he was like that. She had also gotten a wet rag to wipe his forhead. "Lennier, I know you can't hear me but..." she stumbled "I love you. I don't know how it happened. This wasn't even suppose to happen. But it did." she grabed his hand and held it. She herd the door to the bay open. The person that walked in was not suppose to be there. She let go of Lenniers hand and walked over to him. "Whats going on." Garibaldi asked. "He is meditating. You must not desterb him. In fact your not even suppose to be here. Why are you here?" she said coldly. "I was told not to come here." "Then why are you here." He shruged. "Because I was told not to come here." "Well please leave. You are nether wanted or needed here." He gave her a courious look, then left. She went back to Lenniers side and grabed his hand again. He was sweeting a lot. She layed the wet cloth on his forhead and left it there. She put his hand on her check and cried. "Im sorry that you have to be like this. If there was any other way I would do it." She was suprised when she herd his voice in the head. 'Dont be.' "Did you hear what I said earlyer." she asked hoping to get an answer. But didn't get one. *** "Delenn. Do you want to go to the garden?" he was laying on his back. Delenn was laying half way on him with her head on his chest. She looked up at him smiling. "Yes." was all she said. "Good." he got up and helped her out of bed. Delenn put on a green outfit, and John put on a pair of black swets and a blue lose fitting shit. They left the room hand in hand. As they walked to the garden a few people were shocked to see them holding hands. Every time they saw a shocked face they started laughing. They walked into the garden and sat on one of the benches. John strataled it wanting to be as close to Delenn as possible. He put his arms around hir. "You do not mind people seing us together like this." she asked. He moved her hair away from her neck and kissed it. "Why sould I mind. I love you and if people want to know it, I'll tell them." he smiled at her. She replyed with a kiss. A human couple walked in and sat on the next bench. Noticing the captain and Delenn together. "We were wondering when you two would get together." said the man.^¿ Delenn blushed, and John was shocked. "What." "Yea." said the woman. "Many people on this station has wanted you two together. Most of them after the confrentation with the EA force." Delenn and John looked at each other then laughed. "Well if I known that..." he noticed Delenn blushing. "Oh, I'm sorry." he said to her. "I'm emberrassing you." "No. It's just I'm not use to this much attition." she lowed her head. "Well," he replyed, raising her head. "I'll just have to change that wont I." The other couple got up to leave. "We wish you happeness." "Thank you." Delenn replyed. Then turned back to John. "You suprise me." "How. Because I show that I love you openly." "Yes." "You'll just have to get use to it then. Because I plan on doing it more and more." She smiled. "I would like that." *** Garibaldi walked twards C and C. He knew Susan was about to go off shift. He loved last night, but wasn't sure about her. She hadn't spoke to him all day. Not that the jobs had them together that much. She mostly stayed in C and C, and him. Well he could be anywhere but there. He waited outside the doors for her to come out, and finaly she did. "Mike, what up." she didn't seem unhappy to see him. *Thank god. She's not mad at me.* "Well, I wanted to talk to you about last night." "Fine. How about your quarters." That shocked him. *I would think that would be the last place she would want to go.* "Fine." They walked down the hall silently. He glansed over at her a few time. So did she. They reached his quarters and he opened the door, letting her go in first. "Um," he was unsure of what to say. "Mike, I want to thank you." "Huh." he was really confused now. "Well, I had a great time. I havent felt that good in...well in ages." she smiled and walked over to him. "Ah, your welcome." he fumbled. "I had a great time too." Ivanova put her arms around him. "You want to go to the garden. I hear its relaxing." "Sure." he said. They stood there embracing each other. She let go of him and they walked out of his quarters. Then arrived at the garden. As they walked in they saw Delenn and John. John was kissing Delenn neck and Delenn had her eyes closed enjoying every kiss. And what suprised them was they didn't stop. "Ah, hi captain." Susan said. He just waved his hand, not stoping for a secone. Delenn's eyes opened. "Hello Susan, Mike." she said. "So, what are you to doing here." Michael asked. John finaly lifted his head with a questioned look on his face. "Well, I'm relaxing remember. Vacation. That such." "Yea, but..." Michael just moved his hands up and down at them. "What's wrong Mike. Afraid someone will see us." he had a smerk look on his face. "Well..." "The way I here it. Me and Delenn should have been together for awile now." he looked and Delenn with a smile. "And all I'm doing is agreen with them. So," he looked back at them with the smile still on his face. "What are you doing here." "Well..." Mike fumbled again. "We," Susan grabed Mikes hand, "Are going to enjoy the garden." "Well thats what I'm doing." he looked back at Delenn. "I hope you'll enjoy it as much as I am. Have fun." that was all he was going to say. He went back to Delenn's neck. Delenn looked at Mike and Susan. "I hope you two happeness." then she closed her eyes again. Susan led Mike to a different part of the garden. And they sat down. "What do you think of that." she asked him. A grin spread accross his face. "Well, I think they have a good idea. Care to join them." "I dont think they would like that." "Thats not what I ment." he moved her hair back and kissed her neck. She felt his lips on her neck and found it pleasurable. "God that feals good." "Why that you for the complament." he said then went back to her neck. "You know what though." "What." "I rather go back to your quarter and go a little farther then just kissing." That got him enterested. "Well lets go." he said almost dragging her. *** Talynn had almost fallen asleep when the cargo bay door opened. She had closed her mind so that she would not overwelm Lennier more than he was already. Then she saw his face. He was the one the great book warned her about. *This is not supposet to happen now. He should not even know I'm here.* Then she remembered going to see Marcus. *Oh, no. What have I done* She jumped up to gard Lennier. *** "Oh no." Zack was shocked. "No ones going to like this." "What are you going to do." another security gard said. "The only thing I can do. Call Garibaldi. He told me that he wanted to know if anything big happen. I would consider this BIG." He walked over to the com line. Punched in the code and waited. Garibaldi stood in the view with a cover over him. "This better be good. Or I'll..." "Mike, Lennier's been hurt. The doc said it was searious. He got shot." Michael was stund. It wasent to long ago he saw him meditating. "Thanks Zack. I'm on it." Garibaldi shut off the link. *Oh no.* he looked over at Susan. "You hear that." "Yes." she said and started dressing. "We got to tell the captain and Delenn." she saw that Mike got drest fast. "Yea. Lets go." They ran out of the room twards the garden. They found Delenn and John exactlly where they saw them last. "Huh, captain. We have a problem." "Hay I'm on vacation." "But captain Lennier's been hurt." Both Delenn and John stood up. "What." was all that John could say. "He's been hurt. And from what I hear pretty badly to." "What are we standing here for." They all went to Medlab. When they walked in they saw Talynn fighting with the doctor with a really bad cut on her face. "Doctor you must let me in there." she pointed to the isolation room where Lennier was laying with a PPG shot to his chest. "You don't understand. If I dont help him he will die." "You are not going anywhere." he held her back. "That's what you think." she pushed him then stood ready to strike. "Don't do it Talynn." she turned to look at who had spoken. She went to her knees. "Draal, please help me. I was suppose to prevent this. But I only set it in motion quicker." Everyone was shocked. Draal did not usally pop up unless it was very importand. "Doctor I suggest you let her though. Or she will go though you. And that would not be a pleaserable sight." Draal looked at Talynn. "How can she help. I'm the doctor." He was not listening to him. "Talynn must I remind you of the consequences if you go through with this." She stood. Her face was wet with tears. All she did was shake her head. "Very well then." She went into the isolab. "Draal," Delenn finally said. "What is going on." "Delenn, she has been touched by an ancent. They have gaven her a power that only one other on her world possess. She can save Lennier, but at a high cost." "Save him. He is barly alive." the doctor said. "Even the machine we have would not be able to bring him back." "Then doctor I suggest you watch real closely. Becase this will be the only time you will see this happen." Draal replyed. "Draal. What is the price she will pay for this." Delenn asked. He took a breath and shook his head. "The gift, and also her people." "What do you mean her people." John asked. "She will be an outcast. Condemed from her world. She will never get to go back." he shook his head again. "She was going to become the leader over her people. But now...watch." They all turned to the isolab. Watching Talynn. She put her hands over his wound, and shut her eyes. Suddenly there was a little glow under her hands, and she fainted. Then Lennier sat up. "How..." was all Franklin could say. Then he watched the others help Talynn. "Doctor, its something you will never understand." Delenn answered for Draal. "Its beyond you and me." "And now her." Draal said. Lennier looked at Talynn then jumped off of the table to help her. Somehow he knew what she had done, and what she had lost. She was still uncounscience. "Why did you do it." Tears started down his face. He saw the others enter the room, and tried to wipe them away. "Lennier," Delenn went to his side. "Whats wrong." all he could do was shake his head. "Delenn she has done what you would do for John, and what John would do for you. She has given up everything for him. He know's everything she has lost." "Why would she do this for him." Susan asked. "Because," John replyed. "She loves him." *** Talynn saw her world, her people, her friends. She walked among them but they did not see her. Walking into the great hall, she saw Da'trail. He was being honored by their people. He was the Minbari that help her, and the other with the great power. He sat in his chair, with a very unhappy face. "This is not my right." he said. "It is now." Rabin replyed. "Talynn knew what she was doing." Da'trail only seemed to get madder at that. "Why should she be punished for saving another." he slambed his fist into the chairarm. "It is not right. She should be able to come back." Talynn wanted to tell him that everything would be fine. No one could see her though, or hear her. She knew that he needed to rule the people, to help them understand. Even though he does not fully understand. The next thing she saw was Draal. He poped up without her knowing. He looked directly at her, then at Da'trail. *Can he see me when others cant.* "Draal we are honored to see you again." Rabin said with a bow." "Rabin please leave us. I need to speek with Da'trail alone." "Yes Draal" and he exited without another word. "Draal its not right. She helped..." "She broke the law set upon you two. The power was only to be used on the people here." "But she should be honored, not punished. She saved someone that will be needed." "Yes I know. You can honor her." "Only in private." "Da'trail, on my planet, the greatest honor is sacraficing one self for a cause, a loved one, or a friend. She has sacraficed her future for all three." "So why should she be banished." he was screaming now. "She..." he fumbled with rage. Talynn did not not like seing him like that. She started walking over to him, when Draal looked at her and shook his head. *If he can see me why cant Da'trail.* "Da'trail see is needed somewhere else now. You are needed here." Things stared to get dark around her. *I will miss you my friend.* Everything went black. *** Talynn opened her eyes and saw Lennier beside her. *I am so glad to see you*. She tried to set up, and felt dizzy. "Whoh Talynn," Lennier said holding her up. "Take it easy." "Thank you Lennier." she said after her head started clearing. She noticed Delenn and captain Sharidan stayed with Lennier. She saw that she did not have on her usual cloths on, but a medical gown. Then looking back up at the others, they had consern on their faces. The dream she had must had shone on her face. She saw Draal pop in. "Draal. Was what I saw a dream." she had to know. "No Talynn, it wasn't. Da'trail will lead your people. He wants you to know that he will miss you, and will honor you in his heart." She was glad that he will lead the peolpe. *He will be a great leader.* She lowered her head as the tears came. She felt a hand on hers and looked up. It was Lennier's. She stood and put her arms arould him. He did the same. "Lennier I..." she was thankful for him. "Shh. Everything is fine." he moved the hair out of her face. "Talynn, we have learnd a lot about you wile you were unconscience." Shreidan said, "We would like it if you stayed here with us to help." "Captain, I would love to." she looked back up at Lennier. "Where would I stay?" "With me if you wish." Lennier said. Looking into her eyes. Talynn's heart skipped a few beats. Delenn and John smiled when he said that. *He does care about me.* she smiled and touched his face. "I would be honored." The doctor walked in and checked her over. "Well, your in perfect health so, your aloud to leave." "Thank you doctor." she said looking for her cloths. When she found them she noticed the others was waiting outside. *These people are very honorable.* she smiled. "Talynn," Sharidan said when she walked out of the room. "We are going to my quarters to talk, would you like to come."^¿ She looked over at Lennier and saw him nodding. "Yes, thank you." Sheridan and Delenn took the lead, and Talynn and Lennier followed. Talynn wanted to know if Lennier was all right. The PPG blast hit him hard. She helped him, and he should be even better than before. 'Lennier can you here me' she said in his mind. He never stumbled a bit. 'Yes' he though back to her. 'Are you all right.' she glansed over to him. 'Yes. Thank you for saving me.' he smiled at her. 'It was an honor.' she replyed. 'Do you know what we will be talking about.' 'I think the captain wants to hear from you about what you know.' 'Well,' she said with a smerk on her face. 'I can teach him how to cook flarn right.' Lennier let out a muffeled laugh just as they reached Sharidans quarters. John stoped and turned to look at him. Lennier and Talynn had smiles on their faces, and looked like they were holding back a big laugh. "So, what did I miss." he asked questionaly opening the door and letting them in. "Well, Uh, " Lennier stumbled. "We were just talking about Minbari foods." she answered. "I did not hear you speaking." Delenn pointed out. Talynn looked at Lennier. "You did not tell them that part." "No," he said and looked down. "I though you would want to tell them." "Yes of course. Thank you." she grabbed his hand and squessed it. He nodded. "Well Delenn, captain, I should have put it another way. We were thinking to each other about Minbari food." "So your a telepath." Delenn asked. "Yes. I do not use it often though, and when I do its just a surface scan. To hear what the other wants me to hear." she looked at Lennier. "But you can go further." Sharidan asked "Ah, yes, but I wouldent. Not unless it would help the other person."^¿ "Susan is not going to like this." Sharidan stated. "Captain," she was saying. "Call me John." "John, I will not go into someones head without permission. In fact, Lennier is the only person I've shaired with outside my world." she explained. "Now, you wanted to talk about something. What is it." "How much do you know about us." he said bluntly. Pulling out a jammer and activating it. "I know of your past. I did now of the resent future until..." she looked at Lennier with worried eyes. "Until I was shot." he finished. "You mean you know everything about are past." Delenn looked worried now. "No, not everything. And I asure you Delenn, what I do know will not be told to anyone." "Thats still a little frightning though." John replyed. "Yes, and I'm sorry. If It will be a problem I can leave and go somewhere else." Pain shot through Lennier's eyes. *No please don't let her go.* He looked at Delenn with the hurt still strong. "No, I do not think that will be a problem." Delenn answered. "I agree." John said. "Now, what did you and Lennier say, or think, to each other." Lennier and Talynn looked at each other and smiled. "Well, I told him that I could teach you to cook flarn right." They all started laughing. "Yes, I think that would be a good idea." John replyed and looked at Delenn. "I still don't see how she liked it." "Because," Delenn replyed. "I love you." "And I you." 'Lennier I think it is time for us to leave' he herd in his head. 'Yes I must agree.' They stood and started to leave. "Hay, where are you two going." John asked. "We have things we must do." Talynn said. "We will see you later." and they walked out the door. "I beleave they want to explore their feallings for each other." Delenn told him. "Yes, that seams like a good idea." he said leaning over and kissed her. "How about we move to the bed." She said. "That is a great idea." *** "Talynn," Lennier said after leaving the captains quarters. "Where do you want to go." "To your quarters, I am tired and need some rest." "Of course." he said with a worried face. 'Dont worry Lennier.' he herd in his head. 'i'll be fine.' 'Yes, and I will make sure.' he said grasping her hand. They walked the rest of the way to his quarters hand in hand. He opened the door and let her in first. "It is not much, but its suttable to my needs." "Lennier," she turned to him. "As long as you are with me, anything is fine." "You may sleep on my bed if you wish." "I would rather us be together on the coutch. You can put something behind you so you do not sleep flat." He gathered some pillows up and layed them on the coutch. He layed down on the coutch with her in his arms. "Talynn," he said. She was almost asleep. "Yes." "I love you." She looked up into his eyes. "And I love you." she layed her head back down on his chest. And fell asleep leastening to the sound of his heart.
