Number Seven //Book Three// - Dark Matter - COMPLETED

Chocolat Chaud (Hot Chocolate)

Seven and Five walk in the hallway on the way to the mess

Seven has her earbuds in

Anything said to her in English is being translated to French through the device Five made

Five was still working on her French though, but this was a really good step because now Seven didn't have to be confined to the medbay or with Android all the time

They bump into Three

"Hey, Christmas." Three says but to Seven it sounds French. "If you're headed to the mess, I'd reconsider. Debate club is in session."

"How's it going in there?" Five asks

"Well, bout as well as you'd expect which is somewhere between hopeless and terrible." Three tells them

"I don't believe that." Five says. "This is too important. If the colonies can find a way to work together--"

"You're kidding me." Three scoffs. "They can't even agree on lunch."

Three walks away

"Let's just go find Android." Five says

The two girls turn around and walk the opposite way down the hall towards the bridge

The two arrive at the bridge and see Android there, facing forwards

"Did you finish reconfiguring the infirmary's database?" Five asks Android

Android doesn't respond, still facing forwards

Five and Seven share a confused look

"Bizarre." (weird) Seven whispers

"Android, did you hear me?" Five asks

Android slowly turns her head

"Yes." Android says. "That operation has been completed."

"Are you okay?" Five asks her

"I was in the process of adjusting how my subnet categorizes and stores my memories." Android tells them

"Is the upgrade causing problems again?" Five asks. "I thought Sev and I cleaned up that code, but we can take another look."

Seven nods

"That won't be necessary." Android stops the girls. "Everything is working as it should."

"Well, whenever you're done, I'm all set up in my quarters." Five says

The girls turn around to walk out

"Set up?" Android asks and the girls turn around again

"Yeah." Five says. "You said you wanted me to do your hair, try something new."

"Oh." Android says. "Of course."

"Are you sure you're okay?" Five asks. "You seem a little off."

"I'm fine." Android says. "But thank you for asking." She slowly turns around. "I'll see you later when I'm done."

Five turns her head in confusion

"Alright." Five says. "See you later. Allons." (Come on) She tells Seven and the two girls walk out

***

Android never showed up to Five's room

Five had done boxer braids in Seven's red hair while they waiting for her to show up

But when it was obvious she wasn't coming, the two had fallen asleep

Seven was happy to finally not be in the medbay to sleep
