Safe rubs his head and glares at Jazaf.
Quote:
Now, why don't you go get the box of decorations out of the closet. I'll go find the menorah and we'll get this party started!
An Idea hits Safe and he turns to glare at Jazaf again, who shrugs his shoulders, before dashing out of the room towards engineering.
He returns shortly with a roughly rectangular shaped box. It has a handle on the top and two circles on the front.
"That doesn't look like a decoration" Serenity looks at the object puzzled.
"That is because it is a Tricorder." Dr. Me says with a little smugness.
Safe Looks at Me curiously, "Noooo... it's from Earth-that-was. It's called a Boomer box. It plays music." With that Safe produces a shiney flat disc.
He inserts the disc into the front of the box and presses a button. Nothing happens. After some time of tinkering where Safe has dismantled the "Boomer box" and reassembled it several time, Soul strolls over nonchalantly and picks up a piece of wire protruding from the back of the box and plugs it in to and outlet.
Bing Crosby's voice echos through the ship bestowing the virtues of a white Christmas.

"oooooh!, I love Bing Crosby!"
Serenity holds her hand out to Safe, who just looks at it. "What?"
*sigh* "This is where you're supposed to ask me to dance."
She grabs Safe, deposits one of his hands on her waist and holds onto the other.
"Now, can you lead? Or do I have to do that, too?"

"Huh? My birthday? What?"
Soul glances over a the calendar and sees that it is, indeed, his birthday. He claps his hands together.
"Alright, chop chop, where's my presents?"

Heard by the crew in the rest of Destiny:
----------------------------
BANG! CRASH! RRRRRRIP! CLANG! Sounds of a great struggle come from the med-lab. Doctor Me’s voice rings out: “Hit it with another tranquilizer dart!”
“All out!” Bubbles yells, dropping the useless rifle.
“Then taser it! All together, now! Three, two, one…”
BZZZZT! BZZZZT! BZZZZZT! BZZZZT! BZZZZT! The sound of numerous high-energy jolts can be heard and felt.
“That did it!” the Original Kimmel gloats smugly.
“Stay back, Jimmy!” Doctor Me calls. “It may be lying in wait to…”
“AIEEEEEEEH!!!”
“Gas?” the voice of Blossom asks.
“Worth a try,” Doctor Me agrees.
WOOOOSH!
“Now, tasers again!”
BZZZZZZZT! BZZZZZZZT! BZZZZZZZT! BZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZT!
The lights of Destiny dim for a moment.
“Is it down?” the voice of Buttercup asks.
Doctor Me sounds weary, and coughs twice. “Yes, for the moment. I’ll push it inside with this pole. Buttercup, shut the door and Blossom, lock it!”
“What should I do?” Bubbles asks.
“Hold me up!” the doctor says. “I’m about to pass out!”
Moments later, the door to the Med-lab opens and a bedraggled and blood-spattered Doctor Me comes out carrying a small box shaped like a one-foot cube. He stumbles about, aided by Bubbles, until he finds Soul.
Doctor Me adjusts his glasses and stands up straight. “Captain! Excellent! Happy Birthday Sir! I took the liberty of geneering a special present for you. It is a pet and a most fierce and formidable watchdog. Err… watch creature. It will be very loyal to you, Sir, and obey most of your commands. I call it ‘Cuddles’. It is programmed to be very affectionate toward you as well, but mind the tiny mouths at the ends of all the tentacles. The fangs there carry a deadly poison.”
Soul eyes the box dubiously.
Doctor Me turns to leave, but pauses. “Oh, Captain? Does the Original Kimmel serve any useful or important position in the ship’s crew?”
“No, not that I’m aware of? Why?”
“Oh, no reason! No reason at all!” Doctor Me wanders off, whistling innocently while still being supported by Bubbles.
The box on the table near Soul starts to move, tipping and lurching about. Then it starts hopping. A faint growling sound can be heard from inside, heavily laden with subsonics.
TheRealMe, Doctor of Destiny!

"Oh! Presents! Yes, sir!"
Serenity lets go of Safe (who was mostly just stepping on her steel-toed boots anyway), and rushes off to her bunk. She comes back with something in her arms.
"Happy Birthday, Captain!"
She holds out a shiny new bird's eye maple handled shotgun tied with a red bow.

"Thanks!! I needed something new to shoot things with."

"Oh, that? That's my new pet. Wanna see what it does?"
Without waiting for an answer, Soul removes the bow from the shotgun and opens the box on the table just a crack, waving the bow in front of it. The box stops shaking, and a low growl can be heard. Soul tosses the bow to Safe, who grabs it out of the air. Opening the box the whole way, Soul simply says, "Fluffy, fetch." A blur of fur and tentacles flies out of the box, heading straight for Safe, who promptly turns and bolts out of the room, Fluffy right behind him. After that, all that can be heard is a low growling and the occasional girly scream.
Jazaf glances over at Soul. "Fluffy?"
"Seemed appropriate."
Edit: "I thought Me named it Cuddles?"
"Well, that would have been appropriate, too."

Serenity,

Did someone say Party? Where are the Margaritas?
