This is Thread 49 of the adventures of the Sereni-Tree!

For “The Guide to the Clubhouse / Treehouse / Sereni-Tree Threads”, telling our story and providing links to all such threads:
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=11877

Early in this thread is the very long post containing “TheRealMe’s Guide to the Sereni-Tree, V6”. This post is a description of the ship and crew.
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=20521

Below is the summary of the previous thread at:
http://fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=20841

The Second Gala Pageant begins, with TheRealMe dressed in a tuxedo and top hat as Master of Ceremonies. Malicious is the only one of the judges from the First Gala Pageant to return, but she promptly falls asleep. Serenity is also judging. For the contestants, see the summaries below. Spectators include the contestants themselves and: LightMeDark, Lissa, McQ, MontanaGirl, SimonWho, Seryn, and Jazaf. Kelly watched, at least until Ath slipped and possibly revealed too much (at which point she cheered).

Seryn puts Shadow and Ghost into the care of Ervin so she could go off, but he had to cover their eyes so many times during the contest that he had Hewitt, one of his Yeti friends, take the girls to the park.

TRM suggests that our Doctor SimonWho (who was a leading contender in the First Gala Pageant) should enter as the mysterious time-twisted Contestant 8. SimonWho declines, claiming that he can't time-travel since his son PsychicRiver "borrowed" the TARDIS (privately, he is glad he doesn't have to shave his legs again). Speaking of which, PR sends a minor mind-wave from wherever/whenever he is.

An annoying troll followed Seryn home. Mai suggested a troll attack, but we ignore it and it goes away.

We pause the contest, while we celebrate the second aniversary of the Clubhouse/Treehouse/Sereni-Tree threads. This includes the arrival of tiny faeries who are part of an Olympic formation flying team. They buzz around and spell out "Happy Treeversary!"

Seryn puts a bit and bridle on Schwartz the Llama and hoses him down, giving the llama a much needed bath. ScorpionRegent offers the use of his tranquilizer gun to expedite the process.

Mai and Jadehand engage in much romance, including a picnic in the "This Land" park.

Seryn and ScorpionRegent engage in much romance at various times, including a trip in Nandi away from Sereni-Tree to a private location. The romance starts alarm bells ringing for Seryn. Also, SR shows her his catapults.

Jet uses a DRD to help Quincey spray on her outfit for the pageant, then she gets to work on repairs down in Engineering. During repairs, she stumbles in on Seryn and ScorpionRegent. Whoops!

The Yeti Assan and Lichna engage in some romance, scarring Bobbie Sue's retinas for all time.

Also, Bobbie Sue and Wisp engage in some romance, or at least a little action.

Seryn asks who wants a baby rabbit. Serenity, Mai, and Bride6 all speak up.

At the bar, Trey plies SimonWho with dozens of drinks. Perhaps she has something in mind. SimonWho becomes concerned when he sees Yeti dancing, but is comforted to discover that they are real.

Here are our contestants for the Second Gala Pageant of the Sereni-Tree:

CONTESTANT 1: Ervin the Yeti, in clean fur, tuxedo jacket, and a top-hat.

Swimsuit: Did a cannonball into the pool, and got his fur colored from the paint that came off of Bride5.

Talent: Performed the dance ThatWeirdGirl taught the Yeti back on Black Diamond (the Yeti in the audience joined in). Ervin's movements spray everyone with his still-wet fur, except Serenity who packed an umbrella.

-------------------

CONTESTANT 2: Bobbie Sue, Bride6, in a Kaylee-like ruffly pink dress.

Swimsuit: In a bikini, used roller blades to skate down one of the twisting, three-storey slides into the pool.

Talent: In a pretty pink dress with ruffles (the short one, this time), she tapdanced and sweetly sang "On the Good Ship Lollipop".

CONTESTANT 3: JadeHand, as

*Serenity feels, rather than hears, a small *pop* and then suddenly there is water everywhere. In shock, she stands up.

Um...oh...

At that moment, one of the Yeti howls and falls down on its back. Ervin runs up, a worried expression on his face. He turns toward the crowd. "Corbin at her time, too. Baby Yeti, coming! Coming now!"

TheRealMe rushes over toward the bar where he had recently seen SimonWho. "Doctor? Doctor SimonWho? We require your services for..."

All that TheRealMe sees at the doctor's customary place is a collection of 47 shot glasses. No SimonWho. No Trey.

*JadeHand and Mai sit quietly in the "This Land" Park sipping their wine, and gazing across the blanket that holds several other tasty dishes. As he sits and takes in the beauty of the park and his wife.... Wait! Did he just think "wife"? He fingers the small box is his pocket. She hasn't said yes, yet. He hasn't asked, yet. He has a hard time not asking, but he knows now is not quite the right time. Soon. It will wait. They've found each other and time has slowed down for them to enjoy each day of the rest of their lives. His hand comes away from the box and reaches across the blanket to take hers*

Mai, I can't believe our luck in finding each other here. All of the little things that had to happen to bring us together... I am amazed... daily. I want you to know... I need you to understand.. I am completely in love with you.
I look forward to our future.

"You landed in my life Like a new and brighter light
That made all my past seem in shadow
I always used to believe That beauty was skin deep
But I need a new word to describe you
And the time that it took to take down the wall
Was the time that it took for me to fall
Hopelessly weak.

Needy runs in.
Having spent the better part of an hour trying to get out of his G-Swim, and back into his red dress for the talent competition, he found he was locked in his changing room.
After some impressive use of a body part - which we won't go into right now - he managed to escape, but not before realising his opportunity to display his talents on stage may have already passed him by.

"Have I missed it?" he calls out "Can I still do my thing?"

The thought that his words may have come out wrong were knocked from his head as he slides in a puddle of water, falls back and bangs his head on the floor.

"Agh!" he groans.
Now lying in said puddle of water, he looks up.
"What the hell? Doesn't anybody clean up in this place?"

The person standing above him is Soul, with a panicked look on his face. "You don't have any medical training do you? Serenity's water has just broken"

"Erm... I... wait, her water has broken? Please don't tell me I'm covered in it!"

Soul remains silent

"Great" Needy sighs, getting to his feet.
Looking around he asks "Where's your doctor?"

"I don't know! Can you help?"

"I'll give it a shot"

"A shot? This is my child we're talking about"

Needy turns serious. "Ok, but first I'm gonna need a tissue"

"A tissue? Do I want to know?"

"This dress is designer, and right now its in an uncomfortable stage of wet."

ooc-i havent posted in a while due to technical difficulties and im only posting this at college sp there'll be a while before my next post but ill try to set myself up. If im saying anything wrong just ignore it!!!

Wisp rolled onto his back with the sheets coiled around his waist. He was sweating profusely but him and Bobbie Sue had just had been doing 'emmmmhhufffnnwaaa' countless times over the past few days.

"That was amazing" she whispered in a low voice while stroking his chest.

"I have my moments" He replied.

He stood up in a very american gigolo moment and walked over to the sink baring all and sundry. His toned physique glistening with moisture in the dim light of the bedroom.

He shot a glance over his shoulder to BS lying asleep on the bed before splashing cold water on his face.

'Should i go?' He thought to himself 'Or should i stay?'

He answered by lying on the bed and falling asleep waiting for when she awoke.

He'd made a deal with himself a long time ago. Never leave in the night. Make sure shes consious and call her at least once. It was his own personal code.

Isn't it nice to just sit here under the stars and relax?
*flicks a switch and the ceiling turns from drab metal to the starry pseudo-sky*

You're right it is perhaps a bit strange about how we ended up here, not just on the same ship but here in the place we are at with each other. Strange in the kind of luck I never thought I'd see.

*feels a bit tipsy from the wine*

Yep, amazed is definitely a good word.

Whoa. Baby Alarm!

I'm going to...

Wha...

I'm having real problems here. Time seems to be unstable... events are occuring then being rewound... some sort of problem with the space/time continuum.

I'd do something about it if I had my blue box to hand...

*mutters again about the youth of today and blames the parents*

*realises*

Yeah, well, anyhow...

*rushes to Serenity as best he can*
