“Yep. We would have already started our trial period, buthe’s been too busy to come to Earth to fill out paperwork.” Grinning widely,she clapped her hands together. “This means that I will be on Squadron One onceyou get close enough to Earth.”
“Who. Is. It?” Poppy was sure Pixie was doing this onpurpose. Even when they were little, Pixie would always drag things out just todrive her crazy. She loved her sister dearly but dear god she was ready toreach through the screen and strangle her.
“Okay, okay, okay, keep your ass calm before you go intolabor.” Pointing her finger at the screen, Pixie gave the order. “You’d betternot have that baby until I get there, bish. I mean it!”
“Pixie! Who the fuck is it?” If she kept this up, Poppy wasgoing to have her baby right before Pixie got there just to fuck with her.
“My future loving, gorgeous husband is…drum roll please…”Pixie drummed her hands on the counter in front of her.
Poppy folded her arms across her chest, not at all amused.“Piiiiiiixiiiiiie.” Raising her eyebrows, she leveled her with a glare.
“Jesus, Pissy Poppy, you take all the fun out of things. Iwas matched with Dathrow.”
“Oh fuck.” Realizing she’d whispered it out loud when Pixiestared at her in confusion, Poppy stuttered, “I… I… I mean…ummm… Dathrow?Really?”
Not knowing what was winging through Poppy’s head, Pixiesmiled and nodded. “Yeah, you remember him, right? He was here with Wheatonwhen you first met.”
“Of course I remember him.” Figuring now was a good time toend the conversation before she said something that would freak Pixie out, shechanged the subject and then told Pixie she couldn’t wait to see her soon.
After logging off, Poppy sat in the chair for a littlelonger while she went over their conversation again in her head.
Pixie had been matched to Dathrow.
Pixie. Had. Been. Matched. To. Dathrow.
Dathrow, who had become one of Poppy’s closest friends.Dathrow, who at one point had been a second match for Poppy. The same warriorwho had gone to the Council and been transferred to another ship because of hisattraction to her. That same Dathrow had been matched to her sister.
Getting up and walking to the kitchen for another donut,there was one thing Poppy knew without a doubt.
Things were about to get interesting.
