"Yep," nodded Germley the Andropulsian barkeep, the balloon-like nose his race was famous for bobbing gently. Franklin put his drink down. "I haven't even told you what I've _done_ yet." "Oh, right. Sorry, I thought we were just talking generally. So," he reached for a nearby glass, spat in it (Andropulsian saliva has remarkably similar properties to washing-up liquid) and started to clean it. "Share." "There's this girl on board," Franklin began. "Crewman Jaim." "Oh, she's spicy." "She is that. She's sort-of in love with me and I think I might like her too." "Delicious." "And yet I can't get this other girl I met out of my head. I met her on shore leave back on Titan. She's incredible. Smart, witty, more curves than a packet of Pringles." "The solution here is simple: eat one now, and save one for later." "Hang on," said Franklin. "_Eat_ them?" "Wait, no. Sorry, I keep forgetting your species doesn't eat its own. Forget I spoke." 2008-05-09T14:18:15Z http://ficlets.com/feed/story/29900 Comment on Love in Space <p>Ha!
