*Rat looks at the razor, looks for the "On" switch, looks to see if the batteries are in wrong, can't seem to find any batteries.*
Um...what is this thing?
*Sips root beer.*
Ow!!

Rat!! Good to have you back! We were just wondering about you at breakfast on Sunday.
Back to Tree stuff
*Ath and Lissa dock with Destiny's Shadow, inside the Tree's hanger bay. Ath, a little tired of getting attacked by a plastic lobster, suggests to Lissa that they go to the pool. Lissa agrees and they don their swimsuits, joining Ash and Mai in the pool.
Ath brings a beach ball and some of those rings you dive for. Much to Ath's chagrin, Lissa insists on bringing the lobster.*

* In the Infirmary of the Sereni-Tree, TheRealMe hands Rat a root beer. *
It’s good to have you back, Rat! You were sorely missed.
* TheRealMe waves one of those medical scanner thingies over Rat. *
Hmmmmm… Well, it looks like the DNA scan shows that you are really Rat, and not some imposter. The only problem is....
* TheRealMe activates a monitor screen showing the bridge of the shuttle Admiral Nelson. It displays the images of ThatWeirdGirl, Jayne-clone2, and… RAT. *
To add to our confusion, Rat, the readings that ThatWeirdGirl has sent me show that the Rat with her on the Admiral Nelson is ALSO really Rat.
* TheRealMe puts away the medical equipment. *
Say, Rat, do you remember when I went to visit Mal-licious and SoulofSernity IRL? And while I was gone, you tried to take over the ship by assuming all the officer positions on board? I think you were Acquisitions Officer, First Officer, and Chief Engineer, at least. You made a Rat-clone to help out with the extra work.
Uh… Whatever happened to that Rat-clone, do you think?
See, we know that Rat left with Emma on the Admiral Nelson to look for a trade opportunity. That must be the Rat that ThatWeirdGirl just found. But THIS Rat sitting before me just came out of the Sereni-Tree's secret cryogenic chamber (yes, of course I know about it), after someone froze him in there.
Here is what I think happened:
One of our two Rats froze the other. The non-frozen Rat went off with Emma. The frozen Rat just thawed. So now we have one Rat on the Sereni-Tre and another on the Admiral Nelson.
But which is the original Rat, and which is the Rat-clone? Or does it really matter?
Here, have another root beer.
* Next, TheRealMe sees if Cozen and Molly are still sleeping in their autodocs. *

Here’s how things are on the Sereni-Tree:
A while back, the Sereni-Tree landed among dandelions on Earth-That-Still-Is, and we relaxed for a couple threads, singing songs and breeding blue fishies and piffleponies. We even had a pifflepony race. During this time, Emma and Rat departed in the Admiral Nelson, one of the Sereni-Tree’s four shuttles. Their stated goal was to seek out some extra-terrestrial trading opportunity.
Sadly, at the start of the race, MollyTheParrot was injured in a tragic sporting accident. This sort of drove Cozen crazy, and he summoned up vast numbers of his Cozenbugs to assault the ship. The Sereni-Tree was damaged by the time we could re-gain control of the situation. This resulted in both Molly and Cozen being left to heal inside autodocs in the Infirmary, under the care of Montanagirl and SimonWho, our resident Vet and Doctor, respectively.
Then a distress call came from Rat and Emma. They were in trouble, being attacked and/or boarded by some unfriendly aliens far off in the black.
The Sereni-Tree was still too damaged by the Cozenbugs to go to the rescue. That was when SoulofSerenity revealed that he had a ship of his own, the Firefly class Destiny’s Shadow. Soul picked about half the Sereni-Tree’s crew and took them on a rescue mission. The Destiny’s Shadow, took off, piloted by the disembodied head of Succatash. Meanwhile, TheRealMe, TheGreyJedi, Jet, and Needleseye worked to repair the Sereni-Tree.
In Deep Space, the Destiny’s Shadow found the missing Admiral Nelson, adrift in space. ThatWeirdGirl and Jayne-clone2 went over in space suits to check it out. At that time, the DS was attacked by an enemy ship. Through some fine captaining, fancy piloting, and crack shooting, the enemy was destroyed. Aboard the Admiral Nelson, TWG and Jayne-clone2 found Mal-licious (?), Zoid (?), and Rat! TWG powered up the shuttle and flew off. Or at least flew around.
Back on Earth-That-Still-Is, the Sereni-Tree was repaired and about ready to take off to join in the rescue mission. However, Piffle and PsychicRiver were off playing around with their hang glider. They crashed near a village that was being attacked by REAVERS! They find a mule and speed back to the Sereni-Tree. They are followed by a pack of Reavers, driving bikes, cars, and buggies, Road Warrior style. TheRealMe has the Sereni-Tree take off and pick up the speeding mule. We also pick up newcomers Safe and Jack, who were also fleeing the Reavers.
It was at that time that TheGreyJedi decided to act, summoned up his ultra-tech super-sized mecha, destroyed all the attacking Reavers single-handedly, and immediately teleported his mecha and the Sereni-Tree into the vicinity of the Destiny’s Shadow in deep space.
TheRealMe had the Sereni-Tree dock with the Destiny’s Shadow, allowing the crews to mingle. ThatWeirdGirl, Jayne-clone2, Mal-licious, Zoid, and Rat are on the shuttle Admiral Nelson. Grey is in his super-mecha. Everyone else is on the combined Sereni-Tree / Destiny’s Shadow.
Just recently, Ash and Mai took a swim, and a second Rat woke up on the Sereni-Tree. Frankly, I’m wondering about Zoid being around. He hasn’t been in a clubhouse thread for perhaps 25 threads! Maybe that’s just a Mal-clone that Mal-licious was with (in a Zoid mask?). Or maybe it is really Zoid, and Mal-licious has kept him captive secretly all this time!
Anyway, that’s the way it is.
Oh, and CallMeSerenity has detected another ominous approaching blip on the sensors.
* In response to ThatWeirdGirl’s request, TheRealMe opens a dimensional portal from the Admiral Nelson to the Sereni-Tree for anyone who wants to use it. *

*mg gently unbandages Molly's wing.*
Okay, try stretching it out slowly. Good girl. It looks like you're going to be just fine.
*Molly spies the cherries being offered by Serenity and takes off across the room.*
Well, it looks like that wing works! Hey Serenity, do you have any apples in there?

*Climbs out of the pool to tempt the (3 story?) slide. From the top of the slide spots Molly flying about slowly from room to room.*
MOLLY! Oh you're all better! I was awfully worried after that terrible accident.
I know you're sick of being cooped up why don't you go and pay a visit to TRM. I'm sure he'd love to see you.
*Suddenly Molly flies off at full force in the direction of TRM*
(Wanders if Molly has an evil side as well? I guess we'll find out.)
*Stands at the top of the slide and shouts*
Who wants to race me down?! (Suddenly several more slides appear from the the same landing as the first).

* To prepare himself for any gifts that Molly might bestow upon him, TheRealMe unfolds an umbrella. *

*Flies overhead in search of TRM. Spotting him Molly swoops down and nudges her beneath the umbrella and perches on his shoulder.*
SQQQQQUUAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWWKKKKKKKKK!
*Molly then flies quickly off his shoulder she takes out a pair of scissors (they're parrot sized and being that Molly is much more intelligent than anyone previously knew you'll just have to go with it, ok?) and begins cutting a large hole in the top of the umbrella.

*as Molly zooms away*
Well, glad to see Molly is better! Oh, and yes, MG, there are a few apples in here.
*She rummages through the basket and tosses MG and apple. Dr. Whom walks in*
How's Cozen doing, Doctor? Has he recovered yet?
And, oh look! Rat's back, too!!
Any word on Emma yet? I hope she's okay.
Serenity, First Officer of Destiny

Xander looks to Mai. "You are so on."
"Really Xan she has the benefit of less resistances and so forth so why bother?"
"Shut up Ash. Quit being so damn practical."
Xander stretches and readies himself for the slide.
"Geronimo!"
