Sharing the Love

 

"ACHOO!"

 

Aliana sneezed and grabbed another tissue. She was huddled on her bed with the temperature blazing.

 

Earlier that day Aliana had gone for a swim before coming back to her quarters to get ready for the new opening party of the diplomatic wing. When she had arrived she was overcome with nausea and stayed in her bathroom for 5 minutes before coming out. A headache ensued and she cursed as she ran back to her bathroom. She pieced together that she got food poisoning, most likely from some bad cheese she had. So now she was on her bed resting after a quick treatment.

 

"I dan't believe dis," she mumbled. "What dar de oddthes?"

 

She sniffed and shuffled over to her console.

 

"Domputher, pleath dithplay all dew methages."

 

"Please Repeat Command," the computer replied.

 

"Dithplay messtheges."

 

"Please Repeat Command."

 

Aliana grumbled and shuffled away before returning with some hot lemonade and proceeding manually.

 

"No new messages."

Aliana sighed and suddenly the console beeped.

 

"On pl—never minthd," she said as she pressed a button and a picture of her cousin came up.

 

"Hi Aliana! How are you?"

 

"Thi Nuralthia."

 

"Oh wow Ali, you sound terrible!"

 

"I dow, I tink I have thood poisoning."

 

"Oh no!"

 

"Thit's ok. I thould feel better sthoon."

 

"Ok. I hope you don't get food poisoning by my wedding."

 

Aliana smiled and replied, "I thon't let mythelf."

 

"Well, maybe I should contact you later."

 

"Oh tho. I thant somethone to thalk tho."

 

"Alright. How are you on your new post?"

 

"Ith's great. I althready made a few friends."

 

"Well, you never had trouble with that."

 

"Tanks. I met thome of them at Red thar lounthe."

 

"Cool."

 

"Yep. Ith's fun."

 

"What else has been happening."

 

"Well, a thew weeks ago, I was on a athay team that wath attacked by 8472 thips."

 

"Oh my god. Are you ok?"

 

"Yep. I remether me anthd two others were attacked by thone in a corridor. Thankfully we kthilled it."

 

"I am glad."

 

"The only thing was one of them was thouched by the 8472 and had tho cut this tharm off," she said, sounding tragically unscientific.

 

"Oh my god. How is he now?"

 

"He got reassigned to another post."

 

"That sounds horrible!"

 

"It thas. At least we didn't die."

 

"That's you Ali, trying to look on the bright side. Always's sharin' the love."

 

"Hehe, tanks Nurathia."

 

Nuralia turned around and wrinkled her nose before turning back to Aliana.

 

"Ali I am sorry but I have to go."

 

"It this fine. Bye."

 

"Bye!"

 

The screen went black and the computer closed it down. Aliana walked back over to her bed and laid down in it. "Heh, that thas nice."
