*abbey and mobbex return. mobbex stomps off once he's close to the ship. abbey looks up and sees Oram and Brit making fluff balls.*

abbey *squeels*: Ohhhh Fluffies! Can I have one?

*Brit hands her one that is browned perfectly. She takes it and turns around to find a place to sit only to run straight into the Captain. The Captain was surprised at her reaction to the fluff balls. It was so unlike her regular self. She seemed almost... giddy. He pushed it out of his mind and instead tried to pick a fight.*

Colt *sarcastically*: You have a nice walk?

abbey *smiling*: Yeah. Gave him hell for the wine; he got off too easy earlier. We talked about the fineries of how not to steal from your ship mates. I made him so uncomfortable, I don't think he said one word while we were out. I think I got the point across.

Colt: You fight with him too?

abbey *laughs at musical antics of crew*: Not fight, lecture. Fighting takes two people.

*Colt is almost upset that she isn't taking the bait. She was right, fighting did take two.*

abbey: It's been a while since I've seen Oram playing that banjo. And the fluffies! Where did you all get them?

Colt *giving up on the fighting and actually realizes he is enjoying talking to her*: Brit got them somewhere.

abbey (laughing): Why the last time I did something like this was the last family reun... *she stops mid-word and her mood sobers.*

Colt *smiling now too, gazing into the fire*: When what?

abbey *as she chucks stick into fire*: Never mind.

Colt *turning to look at her*: When what?

abbey *sadly*: Doesn't matter. It was a lifetime ago.

*abbey turns towards the ship and walks away from Colt. Colt watched her retreat into the ship.*

Colt *to himself, slightly concerned*: What was that about?

*listens through Abbey's tirade, growing more and more irked with every word that gets past her lips*

Abbey: ...and that's why you will never EVER get those filthy meat hooks of yours anywhere near my belongings again. Am I making myself clear?

*speeds up and quickly distances himself from Abbey*

Who the hell does she think she is, talkin' to me like I'm a third grader or sum'tin...

*heads for the bonfire*

*plunks himself on a pile of rocks a stone's throw away from the blaze, seething with wrath and scowling something fierce*

Girl's lucky the captain's taken a liking for her...

*picks up a branch, aiming to cook himself a few fluffballs to alleviate his mood, but snaps it*

*sits next to Mobbex, sees his failed attampts at the fluff balls*

Here, have mine.

*hands him a freshly made fluff ball*

*looks fixedly at the fluffball for a second*

'That an... olive branch you're proposing? 'Cause I'm takin' it.

*takes the fluffball and gulps it down*

Hmmm... I haven't had one of these since I was a munchkin.

I can teach you to play if you want. It's not hard after a while.

*nods* I'd enjoy that.

Quote:
BTW.. who is cooking and what are we having?

*Brit smiles as she hops up and goes inside of the ship. She comes out with packages of fresh veggies*
I... *coughs*borrowed these from a merchant on Aquila. I asked politely but he told me no. There's a large bump on his head now and he's just awaken from unconsciousness.

*smiles despite the odd details of her story. She takes a few sticks and slides the vegetables on them, making cabobs.*

Vegetables are good for your eyesight and lungs. Especially the green and yellow ones.

*finishes cooking a cabob over the fire and holds it up*

One's done.

*continues to cook more for everyone*

* I take two of Brit's cabobs into the Book. I peak into the Galley*

Abbey?

*I head up to her shuttle. She has a curtain strung across the doorway. I start to push it a side then stop. I knock on the door frame*

*Abbey: Just a minute.

*I lean against the door frame and wait. I can hear the music coming from the campfire. I make a mental note to point out to Sky that some of my skittle brained crew has talent.*

*Then I hear a squish on the floor. Gorramit some of the cabobs slid off. I bend down and scoop up the mess. *Ah thats hot* I spill the rest of the cabob and most of the other on the catwalk.*

*I start tossing the veggies off the catwalk, When I get to the last one the curtain opens.*

*Abbey: Were you trying to peek in my shuttle! What is wrong with you?*

I wasn't peeking I was....I brought you something to eat. *I hold up the cabob sticks. Only one little tomato remains* You got some nerve lady. Peeking into your shuttle..right.

*She grabs the cabob and yells: Well I suppose I should be grateful since you went out of your way. *waving the one veggie in my face*

There were more! They fell off while you had me waiting out here. What took you so long anyway?

*Then I finally get a good look at her face. Shes been crying*

Oh..I'm sorry. Didn't mean...I wasn't trying to disturb you. I just, well never mind. There's more grub by the fire. If you want.

*Abbey leans over the rail and see the mess of veggies below*

*Abbey: Oh..I shouldnt have...I didn't mean to insisuate that you... I'm sorry too.*

Well ok then. Come back down if you like.

*The slightly beaten up hover mule races up to the Book, coming to an abrupt stop. The shark holding the scroll now visible*

"My god is it good to see you guys! Where is the cap'n"

*Oram is doubled up as Mobbex is sharing an anecdote from his younger days*

...So yeah, I'm just... standing there with these girls and... there's soap bubblin' up all over the place! And.. and then obviously I slip and hit my head, get knocked out old...

Oram: *laughing hysterically* you... you're disgusting!

Yup, 'was quite the womanizer in my days... *smiles smugly*

*jumps to his feet* 'That Lt's voice?

*takes stock of his surroundings, and surely enough spots Lt hoping off an old battered hovercraft*

*runs up to Lt and greets him with a forceful slap to the shoulder* How goes it, y' old yegg?

"Couldn't be better, you got any grub?"

*Lt walks up to the group with a warm welcome, and joins in the festivities*

"The op was classified High Risk, so we get there and just about immediately Sergeant Normandy has her gun out at this alliance trooper and pulls the trigger... clicks. The damn thing was empty. So she lifts one finger up and ask the guy to wait for a sec, after exclaiming, No Ammoooo!!!!!!!!. She turns around and says, awww hell and hits the baffled trooper over the head, straight unconscious "
