jeriendhalLeeza: Hey you!
Me: What?
Leeza: I need you to write a romance story for me.
Me: Um, okay. Who's going star in it?
Leeza: Me, moron.
Me: What are y' talking to me for then?![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
chaypeta is your creator.
Leeza: Oh, like she's going to be able to shoehorn another subplot into the main continuity. The only hope I've got is fanfic.
Me: What's bringing this on all of the sudden?
Leeza: Everybody else has got a romance subplot. We've got Terinu and Gwenand maybe Matt, Rufus and Melika, Lance and Alexia...
Lance: Why do people keep bringing that up?
Leeza: Hush, you. Nova! Even Gisko, the chief flunky of the main villian, has had some good luvin'. I want some for me, darn it!
Me: (sighs) Look, Leeza, I understand your frustration, but I don't think you're cut out for romance.
Leeza: What do you mean?
Me: It's just that... well, you're an engineer.
Leeza: I'm sorry, what?
Me: You're an engineer, Leeza. You're just not the romantic type. You're job is to fix the stardrive and be vaguely maternal towards Terinu. You don't really have the personality for romance.
Leeza: I can to be romantic!
Me: Let's put it this way. Did you ever date when you were at university?
Leeza: Um, yeah, of course I did.
Me: Bearing in mind that working on a project with your lab partner is not a date.
Leeza: Oh, fine, if you're going to get picky.
Me: Besides, historically speaking, there's a mixed bag with romantic engineers in sci-fi. I mean, just name some.
Leeza: Scotty
Me: Got possessed by the ghost of Jack the Ripper and murdered his girlfriend.
Leeza: Geordi LaForge.
Me: Fell in love with a hologram of a female engineer, then totally made a fool himself when the flesh and blood version showed up.
Leeza: B'lanna
Me: Do you really want to use a character from ST: Voyager as an example of anything?
Leeza: Okay, point. Moving on. Other series... Er, um, Kaylee Frye
Me: Who's choices in boyfriends was shown to be either a skanky tattooed guy or Simple Simon. You know, the guy who stuck his sister in a refrigerator?
Leeza: Fine, fine. Okay, fine. What about that chick from SG-1? You can't tell me she hasn't had some fine romances!
Me: You mean Samantha "Black Widow" Carter?
Leeza: Oh, come on. You've got to come up with something for me!
Me: I'll see what I can figure out.
Leeza: Thank you!
Me: I mean, I know there's at least one other of the good guy characters that hasn't hooked up with someone.
Leeza: Who? I mean, there's Joleen and um... Joleen?
Me: (evil grin) I'll get right on it.
Me: What?
