Space Oddity by David Bowie

Dr. Barlow sat watching Mr. Tesla’s elaborate display through her fingers. And thought Martians… honestly. This man was so obviously mad it was hard to watch Alek stare at the Clanker boffin with such admiration in his eyes. The scientist thought about asking Dylan to tell him that this man was most likely completely insane (or at least very ignorant). But then looked in turn at both Alek and that Tesla and decided that she was a scientist and would not dash one boy's most earnest wish without even proof. No she wasn’t that cruel. Alas she still hoped that Count Volger (for he was far more heartless than she) would try to discourage him. He won’t break she thought sadly as she watched the ridiculous display how I despise a stubborn personality.

Norwegion Wood by the Beatles

Alek was having a pretty darn good day. That is until Dr. Barlow ordered Deryn to go on a mission to Norwegian wood. She had asked them both to sit. Alek looked around and saw that there weren’t any chairs.

“Have some wine.” The lady boffin said while offering them both a glass. Alek sat on the rug and took tentative sips of the wine, biding his time.

“I have a mission for you” she stated clearly, looking at Deryn. Alek’s eyes widen. They’re first mission!

“Ooh!” Alek said. Dr. Barlow looked at him sadly.

“I’m afraid this one is only for our young Dylan” The famous granddaughter of Charles Darwin said sounding sincerely sorry for Alek.

“B-but” Both Dr. Barlow and Deryn looked at him pityingly

“I’m sure you’ll have your mission soon” Deryn said looking both excited and sad.

“But what will I do here!?!” Alek asked looking desperate.

“You will continue your work here”

“Without you or Deryn?!”

“Yes”

First story shuffle

Here is are my two story shuffles! I hope you like!

Cross My Heart~Marianas Trench

Lilit held the dull side of her knife to her uncle's throat. “You promise?”
“Yes I promise” Her favorite uncle replied
“You cross your heart?”
“I, Zacke brother of Zaven cross my heart and hope to die if I break my promise to my niece, Lilit.” Lilit lowered her knife.
“Thanks, I don’t think I could go on my own anymore”
Zacke smiled “Do you think I would let my favorite niece roam these dangerous streets alone?”
“I’m almost 19 and I can protect myself thank you very much!” Lilit cried indignantly.
The young man raised his eyebrows “Well yes I suppose so... But why did you insist on my promising?”
Lilit looked uncharacteristically embarrassed “Well… I thought you would hate me for letting my father die.”
Zacke’s eyes widened “Me? Hate you? I feel pity for you!”
Lilit sighed in relief “I’m so glad I have you, Zacke.”
He hugged the almost-adult’s shoulders
“Me too, friend.”

Haven't Had Enough~Marianas Trench

 

Eugene strayed in Dr. Nora Barlow’s cabin as long as he could. He knew that if he didn’t walk Tazza properly Nora would call Dylan to do it and he would no longer be able to see her. This was something he just couldn’t take. As he walked towards the gut he heard Mr. Rigby’s voice telling him that not only was his precious Nora married but she was also about 20 years older than him, but for some reason he just couldn’t manage to get her out of his head.  I guess love is blind he thought. He carried on walking down the gut, desperate to walk Tazza correctly so that Nora would need him. Oh how he wish he could go back one more time and begin it. Back before she was married. But alas that was not an option so his only other choice was to somehow end it right; make her fall desperately in love with him and forget that silly “Alan Barlow” and run off with the 16 year old airman. The young middy’s fantasizing was cut short by Mr. Rigby, who was topside helping the riggers.
“What are you doing up here with Tazza?!” he half shouted. At once Eugene realized that he had once more messed up one of Tazza walks
“Oh Huxley clart!” He swore.
“Were you day-dreaming about Dr. Barlow again?” Mr. Rigby said in a disapproving voice
“Yes” Eugene said sheepishly
“This has got to stop!”
“Yes, sir”
“Good now go return Tazza to Dr. Barlow’s cabin and then come up here to help us” Mr. Rigby turned back to his work. Eugene knew the boson was right but continued to wish for the impossible as he walked back to the lady boffin’s cabin.
