Best Friend

"Here's to my best friend, happy birthday Harper."

"Wow! A whole crate of Sparky's, thanks Beka!

Trance stepped forward with an unusual, multi-coloured flower. She handed it to him.

"I thought I was your best friend."

Rommie looked upset.

"And I thought I was your best friend Trance"

Dylan coughed.

"Rommie, we've known each other the longest, aren't I your best friend?"

Tyr growled.

"Best friends with a machine? Don't be ridiculous Dylan. We're great best friends."

Beka crossed her arms.

"Tyr, we have always been best friends."

"You just said you were best friends with Harper, you can't have it both ways Beka."

"Yeah! What did I do?"

"Nothing Harper, it's just, thinking about it, Trance is really your best friend."

Trance looked smug.

"Thank you."

"But Trance, what about our night time chats?"

Holo-Rommie appeared next to an image of Andromeda on a screen.

"We thought we were your best friends, I mean, I know we argue sometimes but-"

"That doesn't count!"

Rommie protested. Harper sighed.

"Err, guys-"

Dylan talked over him.

"Andromeda; after all we've been through together, I can't believe you don't think we're best friends!"

"GUYS!!!"

Everyone went silent and looked at Harper sheepishly.

"I'm trying to have a birthday here? Now end with the best friend and starty with the party ok!"

The End
