Good thinking, Ath!
(OOC: I'm just going to conveniently ignore the fact that I've been gone for the last half dozen threads.)
*By pure happenstance, Ath brought a 24 pack of Pepsi with him to the jacuuzi. He hands 23 to MG, then gives the last one to TWG, along with a carton of milk.*
*Splashes MG, too.*
OOC: Glad to have you back, MG! You've been missed.

Another lorry arrives at the hangar with a load of spare parts Jet requested for the Tree.
Yet a third lorry arrives with lumber, steel, fasteners, industrial rack shelving, a 4km spool of rope, and a large spool of chain.

KellyofLuthien walks to Safe's shuttle and watches as Shadow retrives two small backpacks from hidden compartments. As they walk out, Kelly sees Safe cleaning one of his many guns.
"Hi Safe, care to join us on our surprise trip?" Kelly asks.
Safe gives Kelly a long look before replying. "Sure," he says. Shadow and Ghost beam with delight.
Kelly leads the two girls and Safe down towards her mallorn tree, glancing into side doors as she.....is that Ath?! In a chocolate jacuzzi?! With....with women?!
Kelly takes a deep breath. It's not what she thinks. They are just....okay, she is not going to determine what they are "just" doing. Kelly takes a deep breath and heads toward the bay door.
As she opens the door, Shadowfax gives a jubilant neigh and canters up to meet the group. Safe is clearly uneasy, and the girls hold tightly to Kelly's hands. Kelly lets go for a brief second as she greet Shadowfax, kissing him on the nose.
"Hi, old friend. Care to do some riding lessons today?"
Shadowfax tosses his head, and Kelly teaches the girls how to feed him sugar. Shadow and Ghost both laugh at Safe's obvious uneasiness with the beast. Kelly gives Safe a sly wink, and soon all three guests are riding Piffleponies of their own, and having the times of their lives. Everyone wants a Pifflepony deep down, and Safe, Shadow and Ghost are no exception.
Kelly waves from the fence as the three ride around the corral. Her thoughts wander, and suddenly she has an idea. She waves Safe over.
"Are you alright watching the girls for a bit?"
Safe nods. "Sure."
"Okay, I'll be back soon."
Kelly walks slowly out the door, but soon picks up her pace as she heads back toward the jacuzzi. She enters the room to see the group splashing each other with chocolate. Suddenly she feels shy.
"Uh, care if I join for a dip?" Kelly asks.

"All is well captn'?" He inquires as he splits his chopsticks in two.
Seryn squints at him with brief suspicion. Her mouth full of cake she can only nod. She finishes chewing, sets her fork down, wipes her mouth with her napkin, and takes a sip of her drink.
"Yes," she finally replies. The situation seems slightly awkward. She does think to follow up with , "and yourself?"
"Shinier than a chrome coin lit buy a searchlight. I just wished I had known we were coming here a ways back. I would have so liked to sent a wave to my facaulty advisor. This place is a phenomenal opportunity for my thesis work."
Seryns eyes widen as she chews through another forkfull of cake. She finishes her mouthfull and once again sets down her fork and wipes her mouth.
"You're in college?" She asks in amazement.
"Oh yes I am very close to finishing my PhD. I'm a graduate student at UDSE. It's a correspondence course, but they are very well accreditted."
Seryn can not believe her ears.
"I'm sorry, UDSE I haven't heard of that school." She is completely intriqued and can only wonder as she takes another sip of her drink.
"The University of Drunken Sailor Economics." Replies SR a very straight face.
Seryn looses all self control and sprays her drink halfway across the table.
They both break out into laughter. Two laughing people in a large market, in a large city, on a continent, on meduim size moon, circling a planet, revolving around a sun, spinning a arm of a galaxy, in a huge 'verse.

For educational purposes, I will now present the details of Needy’s original appearance on the Sereni-Tree. It happened around the time of our first and only pifflepony race. This occurred toward the end of Thread 29: “The Sereni-Tree: A Day at the Races”.
http://www.fireflyfans.net/thread.asp?b=11&t=12057
On a post dated August 29, 2005:
============================
*Suddenly, seemingly from out of nowhere, a shuttle appears hurtling from the heavens and heading straight for the rescue mission shuttle. Before any preventive measures can be taken by either side, the mystery shuttle crashes headfirst into the other. Out steps a dazed and scratched up Boy Whore, dressed in a tight fitting dress*
uh... what happened?
*collapses*
Needy. Male Companion a.k.a. First Boy Whore of Destiny
=======================
Needy was welcomed by the Sereni-Tree crew, but they were busy, about to head off on yet another rescue mission. Later, a clue to this mystery develops (or else Needy is suffering from head trauma after crashing into the General Grant):
=======================
*whilst sitting, knees together, on a nearby rock, the sound of an eerie voice beckons*
"NEEDY. Your time has come."
huh? what was that?
*there, standing in a ridiculous Catwoman outfit, a mysterious man stands in front of Needy. Except, it appears that Needy is the only one that can see him, other crewmembers stroll by paying no attention to the visitor*
Mystery Catwoman-Man: "You're probably wondering where you are and how you got here..."
"It crossed my mind"
Mystery Catwoman-Man: "Do NOT interrupt me when I am talking to you. My time is precious. I haven't got long, and neither have you
"sorry"
Mystery Catwoman-Man: "You interrupted me again"
"but..."
Mystery Catwoman-Man: "and again!"
*Needy sits silently*
Mystery Catwoman-Man: That's better. Something has gone very wrong with the universe. The portal's that have been created by passengers on the SereniTREE has caused ripple in time and space. Now it is falling apart. Your memory may not return so I'll try and answer any questions you have that will lead you to save the 'verse."
"Why are you wearing that outfit?"
Mystery Catwoman-Man: "The reason for my appearance is unimportant at this time"
"Ok. Why am I in this outfit?"
*Mystery Catwoman-Man sighs*
Mystery Catwoman-Man: "We needed clothes that would survive the jump through time. Unfortunately, the only ones available were in the women's section in a fancy-dress shop"
"You mean I jumped through time too?"
Mystery Catwoman-Man: "Indeed. And as a futurer, you are the only one able to stop the universe from collapsing on itself. You must do all I command you to. Now you must go on the ship that is Destiny's Shadow, the one that has appeared in this reality following the collision of timelines and dimensions"
"I gotta say. You're not making a whole lot of sense"
*Mystery Catwoman-Man spots Serenity heading back towards Needy*
Mystery Catwoman-Man: "I must go now. Do what must be done. You will know what it is when the time comes"
*totally confused*
======================
Eventually, Needy is given man’s clothes, and sometime afterwards just seems to fade away. Seeing as how he never really did anything significant, and how the 'Verse is still around, I personally am leaning toward the head trauma theory... 
And here follows a masterful bit from that thread, unconnected with Needy but still very good. It seems that SimonWho, the Doctor of Sereni-Tree, wished to consult with TheRealMe, the Doctor of Destiny.
========================
*clambers on board Destiny's shadow*
*find nearby crew member*
Excuse me, who is the doctor of this ship?
Me.
You are the doctor?
No, Me is the doctor.
Okaaaaaay.
And who are you?
Yes.
What?
I am Who and I am a Doctor too but I need to speak

On the Sereni-Tree:
After plotting some courses away from Garrison, just in case, TheRealMe leaves the Sereni-Tree’s Bridge. He turns right, and walks along the balcony overlooking the Common Room until he approaches the North Wing entrance. Then he takes some stairs down to the main level. He buzzes the door to Washie’s quarters. Presently, she opens the door.
“Hi, Washie. Can I come in? Since the Captain is paying attention again, I expect that I’ll have a bit more free time, so...”

OOC: Thanks for posting that TRM, you've got me in stitches laughing at that Who/Me conversation.
It's funny, I was planning on going back to the thread where I first joined in but knew it would mean going through a lot of posts so I put it off for a bit. I had forgotten about Mystery Catwoman-man. It seems I had been watching Donnie Darko at the time.
Hopefully I can provide satisfactory answers

*watches worriedly as LMD nearly topples over*
Hey, you feeling all right? You know if you don't want to hold all that stuff, you could send some of back to the shuttle.

Hey Mai! Do you think Ghost would like this doll?
*takes purse back* Thanks for keepin an eye on that. Looks like we've found some more spendin' to do!
*walks over to the stall to look at the toys with Serenity*
You know, LMD doesn't look so good over there. Maybe after this shop we should stop and get a snack or something?
I haven't really had a chance to get to know the little ones, but what girl doesn't love a pretty doll to play with? That pink one is perfect!
Oh and hey, look at this table. They have beautiful little barretes and hair ribbons. Maybe'd they'd like some of those as well? There's nothing more fun then spoiling little kids is there?!

I agree!
Dolls and ribbons it is!
Though, I'm not sure Shadow would like a doll, she might be a bit too old. So, I picked up some games for her; chinese checkers, a jump rope, yo yos, jacks.
And-ooh, look at these cute little outfits I bought for my own little one!
*Several purchases later, the women lead a tottering LMD to the cake shop where they meet back up with Seryn and SR.*
Ooh, cake! I'm famished!
