This was written for the first Weekly Microfic at Terra Firma. The theme for creating a 100-word "microfic" was "Valentine's Day," complete with the understanding that John had explained the holiday to everyone on Moya already. It should be noted that I'm an Alien Nation fan....

Differing Expectations
Quivering with anticipation, Stark stood outside Zhaan's quarters and admired the bouquet of flowers he had carefully created for his beloved. The colors were soothing, the shapes pleasing.
The grille opened suddenly.
"Stark?"
Flummoxed, he hid the Val-an-tyne gift behind his back and breathed, "Hello, Zhaan."
"What do you have there?"
Shyly, he held the flowers out to the beautiful Delvian priestess.
She stared at them, wide-eyed, but made no move to take them.
Gradually, he realized her expression was not surprise, but horror. "What's wrong?" he asked in alarm.
"Stark! How could you
murder them like that?"
