Back on the Enterprise that single kiss was the talk of legends. "Gwen do you think?" "Think what?" "After today and all. Dam I am not very good at this," she looked up into his ocean blue eyes and shy smile. 'Why Kirk? Why does she make you feel like this,' "James spit it out?" "What I'm trying to say do you think me and you could be a thing?" "I would like that very much." She sealed the agreement with a kiss but this one wasn't being interrupted like before. Heart racing she twisted her arms around his neck and he wrapped her legs round his waist, with all the women he'd slept with she was different. Gwen slid her hands under his tshirt and pulled it off throwing the now discarded clothing out of the way, "Woah easy tiger," she gasped as he sat her on his dresser.
By morning they awoke still intertwined in each other still relatively exhausted from the previous night. 'I could get used to this,' he thought, playing with her hair. "Dydh da," (hello) she muttered, rubbing his chest, "What did you say?" "Morning," "Ohh. I could get used to this. Waking up with you in my arms," "You really are a hopeless romantic, but it's working," "Someones in quite a mood?" "Why do you think," he pushed her down again nessling into her neck, "Easy does it if i turn up to work this morning with a hickey and after yesterday it will not be hard to put to and two together," "Okay but at some point i will mark my territory," "You can if you get off, i'm on shift in half an hour," Gweynneth laughed shoving him off. As soon as she tried to put a tshirt on Kirk wrapped his arms around her waist, so she put the tshirt on with him still inside. "Come on mr we both have work to do."

After a few songs for the bridge crew the Fisherman's Friends spotted Gweynneth lurking in the corner, "Yo Gills come on!" one shouted, "Gweynneth Rosenwyn Morvoren Congdon-Williams get up here!" "I think this calls for desperate measures, charge!" the fisherman climbed off the stage and picked up Gweynneth over their shoulders, "Dad put me down!" "No 3, 2, 1 throw!" she screamed as they threw her by her legs to another two fisherman, "Jack, George put me down!" "Never we remember when you were a little baby and your dad used to bring you onto the fishing boats," "Does she still sing?" "No not since i left Port Issac's children's choir which was 5 years ago now," "In that case give her a mic," "No no way I haven't done anything like that in years," "What about that song you wrote just before you left?" "Oh If I Die Young, that's not really a happy song it'll ruin the mood." they reluctantly agreed with Gwen not wanting to cause a scene for tonight, "Why did you leave Cornwall you said most people in your town had never crossed the Tamar?" "I left because my sister died, not just a sister she was my twin Cayla Kerensa (ker-en-za) Chesten Congdon-Williams. She died in a fishing accident, we went rowing to Lord issac's garden, she fell over bored and the blow against the dinghy was enough to kill her snapped her neck. Better that way i like to think, when she fell in we were in the rapids by the bay entrance. She was battered up so badly, I ended up calling the coast guard through siri. I packed up that evening and left for here the same day. We had both graduated from the academy and were both looking forward to serving but I just couldn't stay in that town any longer. I didn't even wait for the funeral. It's my fault we were mucking around and I was splashing her, she slipped because of me. If I hadn't splashed her, I would still have my other half. I lied. The last song I wrote was called better in stereo. It was about us," "That's another reason why we're here, she wasn't dead, only unconscious and as you cut contact we couldn't tell you, it wasn't your fault," "So your saying," "Finally you put two and two together."

James watched her eyes go wide as she looked towards her mirror image, "Cayla!" she gasped hugging her sister. It was two faces. Two bodies but one soul. "I would love to hear it,"
💎better in stereo acapella-dove cameron💎
"I'm up with the sunshine (Let's go)
I lace up my high tops (Oh, no)
Slam dunk, ready or not
Yeah, show me what you got
I'm under the spotlight (Holler)
I dare you, come on and follow
You dance to your own beat
I'll sing the melody
When you say yeah, I say no
When you say stop
All I wanna do is go, go, go!
You
The other half of me
The half I'll never be
The half that drives me crazy
You
The better half of me
The half I'll always need
But we both know
We're better in stereo
You say it's wrong, I say it's right
You say it's black, I say it's white
You take a left, and I take right
But at the end of the day, we both know
We're better
You
The other half of me
The half I'll never be
The half that drives me crazy
You
The better half of me
The half I'll always need, yeah
We both know
We're better in stereo,"
Taking the initiative Cayla picked up the second chorus so her twin could sing harmony.
With the hype of the crowd she took the mic and took to the stage.
💎As long as i have you-dove cameron💎

Welcome to the Upward Bound System, V.3
They say third times the charm. With every iteration we improve. When the System came to Earth, it changed everything. It is a grand thing used by gods and men alike. What had once been fantasy was now a reality. People believed and so that belief gave ideas the strength to manifest. "Welcome Founder of the SCP Foundation" It stirred the gods from their deathly slumbers. Stirred by an almost mechanical voice promising them new life, and followers as countless as the stars. All it asked of them was for their help. Help with what though? The old gods, the forgotten gods, and the new gods drew breath, and then made their voices heard. On a day like any other Dante was home from college watching the Presidential inauguration with his parents. Little did they know that this day would turn out to be anything but ordinary. That this was the day everything changed. Dante is not your typical MC. While he has a troubled past, he looks forward to the future. Follow Dante, his parents, and the new friends he meets along the way as they traverse this new system world. However, before they can explore this new world they must complete, the Tutorial. (Please note: This tutorial will be part of the story. Rather than a skim of the information, you will get to experience it in depth. So the tutorial will last a good while.) A much slower style of LitRpg than what you would normally find. Follow Dante and his party as they find their world taken over by the system. Welcome people of Earth to the Upward Bound System!... With the system's arrival so too does great danger come... The tools of your survival shall be granted upon you by the system... Please note, I don't own the art. Please enjoy the story, and if you don't please leave a comment and I will try to improve the story for you. This is the second version of this story, so feel free to check out the original and compare the two.

The Animo Saga
Before history was well-recorded in the world of Ulakam, primordial animal spirits adopted humans, provided protection and developed deep spiritual connections with them. Millennia later, humans now host animal spirits and are split into tribes named for the species they host. Ulakam is slowly being consumed by a decades-long war pitting the main tribes against the smaller tribes and a group of bandits calling themselves "the resistance". Callida Animo was born into this world. Coming from a mixed family of generational soldiers, Callida joined the family business at a young age. In her words, she was practically bred, born, and raised to be a soldier. And she's good at what she does... which inevitably attracts attention that makes her unambitious self extremely uncomfortable. Love, loss, influence and growth. This is her story. Written episodically, this story focuses on relationships and character growth through a series of mini-arcs that connect to make a greater whole. (Honestly, the story would lend itself well to a TV series.) "Episodes" range from 3-7 chapters (at least so far), and average about 4 or 5 chapters. Author's note: I'm always thrilled to receive comments, follows, ratings/reviews, messages.... All forms of feedback are welcome and encouraged. However, I have no interest in begging readers for more engagement to get better visibility. I tried that with my last story and found the game soul-sucking. So! This constitutes my only self-promotion request. If you are reading this story, let me know what you think! I love engaging with my readers. We'll see if growing the readership organically is even possible. Thank you! 😘 Release schedule: Weekly on Wednesday afternoons

Astrum Online.
After decades of war and a series of bad decisions from politicians worldwide, the governments of the world decided to establish a truly independent economic and political institutions to right their wrongs. Despite this, the damages incurred persisted decades after its resolution. Among the worst of the damages were the aftermath of a conflict in space which left the orbit of earth filled with dangerous space debris, effectively shutting mankind out of its final frontier. The lack of access to space prompted many to explore alternative means to space in virtual technologies and games. However, space simulation requires heavy computing power and difficulties in advancing computer science had always limited the potential of space exploration in virtual reality. Leaving it an undesirable genre in the VR community. That is until a not-so-surprise announcement by a company called Future Tech that changed the world. This is a story about a group of friends' adventure in a brand new Sci-Fi VRMMORPG that utilises cutting-aged AI to power its expansive world. A piece of technology that many tried for decades but failed to achieve. Join Prakash "Gulliver" Douma and his group of friends as they meet new people along their journey across virtual space, make new friends and enemies, and discover many hidden secrets and danger about the world of Astrum while struggling in their foray into adulthood. _______________________________ This is my first story and is a side project I had in my mind to help me cope with the pandemic lockdown. So I welcome any constructive criticism and please cut me some slack! heh~ I have problems managing my tenses so do let me know in the comments if you find some errors. Enjoy! P.S. - Please ignore my user id. I do think my uses of punctuations are honestly quite horrible. Oh the irony.
