Iliana, Victoria, Alissa and I, Diana, are space mercenaries, the D.I.V.A. In our ship, the Star Diva, I wake up to find Iliana in my bed.
"Hey." I said.
Iliana doesn't wake up. I get up slowly and leave my room. In one of the ship's corridors, I bump into Victoria.
"Victoria." I said. "Do you know that Iliana is in my bed right now?"
"Well, it's none of my business if you want to sleep with her."
"No, no, I...!"
"Iliana is a lesbian, after all. If she needs company..."
"I'm not! And that's not what happened! She just got into my bed, that's all!"
Her butterfly wings begin to glow. Not wanting to argue with her, I leave her and walk down other corridors. I find Alissa. Her android eyes are staring into space. She must be looking for data.
"Alissa?" I said.
No answer. I returned to my room, after sighing. I find Iliana, wide awake, on my bed.
"Iliana, will you please explain to me why you're lying in my bed?"
"I'm sorry. I was... haunted by nightmares about... about Timothée... about Iliana the Great... and about suffering souls. I wanted them to stop so I let my powers guide me to a soul with courage and kindness."
"Are you talking about me?"
"Uh, yes... and it worked. Sleeping next to you, in your bed, I was having a beautiful dream. That is until you left. The nightmares came back and they woke me up."
I smile. Dear Iliana and her power involving souls.
"I understand."
As the D.I.V.A. leader, I have to make sure that my companions are happy.
"But next time, ask for my permission, okay?"
"Even if I have to wake you up?"
"Even if you have to wake me up."
Iliana smiled back.
"Okay."
With that, Iliana lies back down in my bed. I return to her side and close my eyes. I dream quickly.
