TheRealMe walks onto the Sereni-Tree’s bridge, to find Quincey up in the pilot dome. She is still as she was for the Second Gala Pageant: naked except for a layer of blue and yellow body paint.
“Oh, hello, Bride5! Uh, what are you doing here?”
Quincey raises an eyebrow and frowns. “Hovering. As ordered by you. Perhaps you remember? Something about not performing a wedding while grounded?”
TheRealMe grins sheepishly. “Ah, yes, of course!” He gazes out of the bridge’s windows at the impossibly huge Tree looming above him. “Hmmm… I see that we are still in close proximity to the Tree. Good! Hold her steady, Bride5.”
TheRealMe climbs into one of the empty control stations and raises his arms. A pair of metal and plastic gauntlets descends to encase them. As TheRealMe moves his arms about, this activates the massive grappler arms on the sides of the Sereni-Tree. He flexes his arms and moves his fingers about. The grappler arms mimic him. “Computer, open main cargo bay hatch.”
The computer sounds like Eddy Izzard doing an impersonation of James Mason: “Acknowldeged. Main cargo bay hatch open.”
With great concentration, TheRealMe maneuvers the grappler arms to gently pick up the Original Clubhouse from the cargo bay and deposit it onto a branch of the Tree. Quincey keeps the ship level and steady as a rock. TheRealMe smiles. “There! We have a treehouse again, for those that want it. Computer, close main cargo bay hatch.”
”Acknowldeged. Main cargo bay hatch closed.”
TheRealMe shrugs in a certain way and raises his arms. The control gauntlets detach and rise to the ceiling, deactivating the grappler arms. “Say, Bride4? How are the repairs coming?”
From down in Engineering, Jet’s voice comes over the com. “Everything is pretty much ready to go. Got the mains online. We are spaceworthy again. We could even fight if we had to.”
“Excellent! What about the permanent dimensional portal to the Pub at the Bottom of the Tree?”
There is no response for a moment as Jet checks some readings. “Yeah, that’s fine. Strong connection through the hyperspace link.”
TheRealMe keys the com for ship-wide broadcast. “Hello everyone. This is Me. I don’t know about the rest of you, but I’m about ready to move on from this place. I have put the Original Clubhouse in the Tree, so we have a Treehouse again. Anyone may stay aboard Sereni-Tree or may occupy the Treehouse or may wander back and forth between them as you desire. However, if you elect to say aboard Sereni-Tree, I must warn you that there may be… peril!”
TheRealMe, Captain of the Sereni-Tree

Yes, Fred loves making new friends. He's been a bit down since Molly seems be growing out of playing and more into finding a nice birdy boy.
*Two little bunnies scamper by and suddenly plop down at Mai's feet*
Awww. You guys are so cute all that pretty brown and white spotted fur. If you don't mind my asking what are your names? *funny bunny looks* Oh right *picks up the babies and reads the little name tags* Reek and Havoc. Oh my ... Fred's just going to love you two!

Inside wrapped in tissue paper is a pair of lighly worn baby combat boots, a teddy bear with butterfly wings and a hastily written note.
"The boots were mine as a child. My mother gave them to me for luck when I enlisted. Though with parents like you two, your little one won't need any luck at all.
Your friend,

Oh, we should go see Fredrick soon then, I'm sure he'll love Reek and Havoc.
Sounds, like we're ready for adventure again. Maybe we'll find something not Alliance related this time. I'd like to not see them again. But they keep spreading out.
So, You have a preference for dinner?
"I have been here many times before In a life I used to live
But I have never seen these streets so fresh Washed with morning rain
I have seen this face a thousand times Every morning of my life
But I never saw these eyes so clear Free of doubt and pain
Like the whole world has been made again."

No, I'm not too picky about dinner. Either one sounds yummy.
Speaking of Fred, I wonder where he's got to.
*whistles loudly, and the entire common room shakes and Fred comes bounding (well as bounding as a bronto can get) into the room.
Meet your new pets Reek and Havoc. *Fred leans down and "sniffs" the equally curious bunnies. He then lays down in a corner of the room and both bunnies climb up his neck, all three fall asleep. Geez, you guys are real party animals. 
Oooh, peril! Sounds like fun.

Oh, how sweet! And look at the little teddy bear! I do hope Safe is okay, wherever he is.

*Sera's buuny has stopped doing handstands and backflips and has curled up next to Sera on Serenity's lap, looking both completely harmless and very protective of the baby.*
Soul, look!
I think the bunny will be a nice addition to our family.
I'm thinking we can call her Toki. What do you think? It means "Rabbit" in Korean.

Seryn joins walks over and wraps her arm around SR waist, then turns to Soul and Sernity. She's absolutely wonderful. And quiet! I just know mines going to be a screamer. It runs in the family - granpa use to take great delight in telling me how i screamed so hard in the days leading up to my naming ceremony that they had to cancel it and send all the guest home thinking i was dying".
Serenity looked at Sera, the releived sigh almost inaudiable, while Seryn picked up the boots Safe had sent.
"It always amazes me how small feet can be - i mean we all met Safe, can you believe that once upon a time, he was small enought to fit these?"
She looked up at SR "I mean in theory - you were once small enough to fit these.... But i don't believe it."
She bent and gave a very brief hug to Serenity, then spoke to SR, "come on then, I believe we have a game of tennis, or metaphysics or something. And we have to discuss soundproofing in my apartment."
*true story - the vicar thought i was posessed - he'd never seen a baby that angry, while my parents thought i had meningitis, and the Dr concluded that i just had a very bad temper.
Hey, did you notice how everyone in that post had a name beginning with S? Scary.
