Ehhh.... Alright I'll agree.

I know you're not always comfortable with saying it...

But we know you dont' disagree. :happy:

You are literally incapable of telling Tali no.

I've been thinking...if you have a LI in ME, then picked Tali in ME2, I wonder if she'll be the selfless self, giving away against Ashley's will of saying 'Shep is mine' or will she fought back and say 'Shep is mine'?

I don't think she's going to give up the one thing in life she could call her own.
As for a fic, how about halloween?

Halloween, huh...?
that could be a little tricky...

Chapter 3 & 4!? 0_o
I'd love to do it, but with my writing, it would only ruin your style...

and Dem Hips? Dem Legs? Dem hands? Sorry...but my main attraction to Tali is her heart, her character and her overall personality. The rest, are all just icing on the cake. A really really sweet icing on the cake...with a cherry on top of each. Yummy...

Journals

Frederick J. Shepard loves to write. What he can't convey, or what he wanted to express, he would jot it down in his private terminal. It was an old journal, something he has been carrying since he reached his teenage years growing up in the colony of Mindoir. Within it, records were stored revolvinig around the events, emotions, and responses he wasn't keen on sharing. He wasn't keen on holo-journals nor autmated recording as he finds them inconvenient, embarassing, and lacking in freedom. Thus, whenver spare time was given or after every single mission, he would open his journal and write.

Ever since the events pass the Omega 4 relay, Tali has been taking up residence within the Captain's quarter--much to Shepard's request. Since then, she would caught Shepard sneaking towards his terminal at night and sit there speechless, smiling to himself to whatever caught his attention. She tends to ignore this for the first two weeks.

Curiosity, of course, got the better of her.

"Shepard, what are you doing?" It was one particular night that she decided to ask the question upon noticing the pattern in his behavior. Startled, Shepard attempted to quickly shut his journals off but soon finds himself against the idea--he knows better not to mess with the quarian engineer. Sighing in defeat, Shepard returns a smile.

"I'm just looking back through old records, Tali. Want to join?" he envite, gesturing with his hand towards his companion who lies under the bed covers. A minute later, she is standing beside him, eyes focused on the screen before her.

"What is it?"

"Its my journal; I have a habit of writing things down ever since I was a colonists back in Mindoir. These were some of the old ones I managed to salvage from the SR1."

Curiously, she leans closer towards the screen. With her head now parallel from Shepard's she began to read the context provided before her. "Isn't this...?"

"Wrex's family armor?" he smile, turning his attention towards her. "It is."

"Wow, I never thought you're the type who would keep such records..." 

"I do so once in awhile. I'm not all gung-ho, shoot things up and leave it to die all the time, you know!" He left a dry chuckle. "Want me to read an entry?"

"Please."

"Entry number 286, Armstrong Nebula..."

---

Minutes after minutes pass as Shepard began reading every entry he has written in his journey. They were stories, echoes of a fairy tale that yet sounds true. Garrus and the 'mad doctor', the Krogan armor, John and the giant plant-thing (a title she finds humorous), and of course 'the gift', a story about her pligrimage and the Geth data he presented to her. Then there were stories of Saren, memories of Vermire, Ilos, and the final flight of the Normandy SR1 before the entry cuts off to two years later.

The recent entries were all but past memories for her, enveloped with deeper emotions and liberty than what was written circling the SR1. Here she listens as he read entries spanning  from Freedom's Progress and their first reunion, Archangel, the scientist, prison ship purgatory, an old friend in Tuchanka, stories from Illium, Sidonis, Haestrom and their reunion; even her trial! But then he stops.

---

The next few pages of the entry is a blank slate, clean from any letters or words that accompanied the two of them for the past hours. Puzzled, she ask his permission to search through the contents in hopes of finding hidden entries carefully concealed using unknown programs. She found none, much to her dismay, and figures to ask the man responsible instead.

"Shepard, how come the entries were left empty after the trial?" she ask, dropping a questioning look towards him from behind her visor. "If you have something you wanted to hide from me, I'll find it eventually."

A chuckle left Shepard's lips. "You can try looking for it as much as you want, but you will find nothing. Those are my story, Tali."

"But why!? Your story doesn't end there, and there are still things left to be written!"

sighing with laughter, Shepard took his arm and pulls her closer by the waist, startling her but is welcomed nonetheless. Then, he points to his journal. "Tali, read the date of the last entry."

She does so, producing a grin in his face. "Now, remember what we talked about that day?"

"It was about me being sick, the immune system and...and..." she pause, her face burns as she remembers the conversation, the emotion, and the mood that surrounds it. "Oh..."

Shepard smiles softly, tapping her shoulder for her attention. "The entries I've read are stories about me, Tali. The reason I stopped writing is not because I don't want to, but because I couldn't."

He pause, clearing his throat as he builds up confidence before finally giving his answer.

"It's about you; about us." A smile generates around his face, causing the heart of the young quarian to race faster and faster. "If you want me to continue, I want to write it together. The blank slate were ours to fill, and we have a lot to catch up."

Wringing her hands together, Tali's eyes shifted left and right, both flustered and greatful to the attention he gave to her. Taking her hands in his, he asks one more time. "Will you continue our story with me?"

As the heat rises through her face, and the feel of his hand seeps pass the her gloves, Tali held her breath and plays with his finger before finally giving her answer.

"Yes, Shepard. I will."

And THAT'S IT! Few pages pass, but as promised! :innocent:

We may routinely get into arguments.... but I must intrinsically agree.

Everyone loves an assertive woman.

And... it doesn't get more assertive than one stepping on you like that...

She's just lightly stepping on his throat for some reason or another I would assume

I think she is practicing. She wants to do that to another person.

I've never once broken TOS. Come DAMN close a few times, but I don't think I've ever done anything to blatantly break.

And I contribute a LOT around here. Stories, artwork, intellectual conversation.

I'll post as I damn well please, provided it's on topic.

Also, getting a sore throat from Tali. BEST SORE THROAT EVER.

And remember, the more you do it, the less sore you'll get next time. <3

I can't stand sore throats.  I'll pass, thanks.

But... NRI. You won't care about the pain and eventually you'll learn to like it.

Science kicks ass

Its cool ,  the is a heavy subject matter and I remember  correct awhile back you said  English is not your first language. Hip - Hop is loaded with metaphors. 

Thanks about understanding my position... And sorry again... I feel stupid.

 

Don't feel bad, you didn't  know that can't expect you understand metaphors in a language  that is not your  native .
