Nan walked around her desk to the computer console as Vitor smiled again to the lovely couple of dolls, now sitting there. He made a mental note to send some sort of thank you to Doc Rex. Seeing Nan's reaction to the new one was even better than he expected.
He would forever be grateful to the Doctor.

Whatever Nan was doing she finished it, returning back to him.

Jovenan: We can go there. Would you want to come? It’s not much, but it would be my surprise for you.

Vitor tilted his head and reached for Nan’s hands.

Silveira: Yes I will love to. And whatever it is, it's more than enough. You are my surprise, my love.

Jovenan: I hope it’s enough, after all the nice things you’ve done to me. I want to give you something back for your surprises.

Vitor pulled her closer and leaned his head down.

Silveira: Oh don’t be silly honey. We are not competing, we are dating. And my girlfriend, you, will always surprise me.

Jovenan: Thank you. But I still want to try.

He smiled and leaned down again, giving Nan a quick kiss. He opened his eyes with them still close, just enough apart to speak. He lost himself in her emerald eyes and thought to share something. Something very few people knew.

Silveira: I better just warn you about one thing. I… I have a great fear of heights… Really big… I might freeze and panic… It hadn’t happened in years but just… So you know

That likely caught Nan by surprise, as she stumbled for words.

Jovenan: Oh. I- I didn’t know that. Uh, thank you for trusting me…

Vitor wondered how his revelation was that surprising to Nan. He smiled at her, thankful to be able to share with her his fears.

Silveira: Thank you for letting me share it with you.

They let go and Nan put on her shoes, as he smiled at the dolls holding hands.
They left and did most of their way quietly. Vitor had a suspicion on where they were heading, but he let Nan lead him.

((Astrometrics, Deck 9, USS Artemis))

He smiled as they entered Astrometrics. He felt the slight shift in gravity and was so proud of Nan. The view was magnificent, it was as if they were outside. Vitor suspected that was where they were heading, but he couldn’t imagine such a beautiful setting.

Nan walked to the center holding his hand and looked at him.

Jovenan: Well, um, this is my surprise. There’s a low-gravity area above us, so we could have been floating in the space and see all sorts of things. It feels like actually being in space. But I don’t think it works after all.

He raised an eyebrow and tilted his head.

Silveira: What? Why?

Jovenan: I’m so sorry, Vitor. I thought it would be exciting or romantic or something, but… But I didn’t know about your fear of heights. You won’t like it.

He sensed her insecurities kicking in and then it hit him why she reacted like she did when he told her he was afraid of heights.

Jovenan: You always make me happy, and I can’t even get things like this right. I just don’t know how to be in a relationship.

Vitor quickly grabbed her other hand, pulling her closer as he shook his head.

Silveira: No, no, no… Honey it’s awesome, it's the best surprise I could have asked for.
It's okay… Please…

Jovenan: Response

He gently pulled her closer.

Silveira: Nan… Honey. It’s gorgeous, it’s beautiful, almost as beautiful as you and… Look its a bit hard to explain but this… ::he looked around:: This is okay, I can deal with this. ::he looked down:: There’s no depth.. I only get scared when I see the bottom… And even if we were on the edge of a clif…

Jovenan: Response

He smiled, let go of her hands, held her and with little balance jumped. They started floating, as if they were flying in space.

Silveira: I like it and I am okay. This is so beautiful.
