A New Life in a New Body
Old Friend Different Face
All of sudden I started analyzing every major relationship I had ever had which wasn't very impressive. Sure there were many of them, but none I was really serious about. Most of them were crazy, psychotic, bimbos.
There were only about three that I was really crazy about. There was my first girlfriend, Mary, who was short and stout. Her overall mental health was completely crazy. It lasted for a little while, but it ended horribly. Apparently I didn't call her enough and she broke up with me. She didn't talk to me about that at all, well that was her loss.
Now the next one was pretty special to me, Sharon, of course she broke the fingers of anyone who called her Sharon that wasn't her commanding officer. Sherry, as she so preferred, I met in basic. In the beginning there was really no attraction between either of us.
After basic we started hanging out. A couple of guys started hitting on her. And she let them have what for. One of these guys walked away, smart move, the other continued his poorly worded pick up lines. In what seemed to be just mere seconds she had moved from her seat to him. She had broken his nose and his arm in three places. After that I have to admit I found her quite attractive.
She didn't see me that way for at least three years later. It happened when I was hospitalized; it was after a mission in the Zalin Mountains. I was in a bad condition and she came by (against my many protests) I was embarrassed because I didn't want her to see me like this. So I did what comes naturally I did my best to hide my pain. She saw me acting like that and felt what I had for years.
About a week later after I was out, she came over. We had a good time then she did something that was quite unexpected. She leaned over and kissed me. I, having been caught off guard, fell onto the floor. She tried to help me up but I wouldn't let her at all. I asked her to leave and she did.
Things were kind of rocky after that, I mean I had wanted to be in a relationship with her but I felt she was just a little forward on that bit. Things eventually smoothed out and we did hook up. It was probably the best year of my life. Then after the accident I never saw her again. I never called or checked up on her. Last time I heard she was on the run from the sniffers, I wonder, but I assume she's dead.
The last is of course is Lisa. I hope she says yes I regretted not asking Sherry five years ago. After having thought about this I came back to reality and guess who shows up at the most in inopportune moment ever, Chris. Great, the worst conversationalist known to me, showing up at a time like this. I immediately walked away, leaving Lisa confused.
I stalked off down to the base o this incredibly vast system of caves. I found a room of interest I poked my head inside there was an albino reptilian of some sort. Then she had turned around and had a strange look as if she knew me before.
"Mike, is that you," it asked.
"Well, yes but who are you," I replied.
"Oh sorry I probably look really different, I'm Sherry," she said.
Oh great, just great. I'm in a mountain with two of my greatest loves. Both of whom I have deep emotional relationships with. This can't end well....
