"I think surprises are more fun. Adds a bit of impulsiveness to the experience," She finished up the last of her beverage. "I would invite you to a tour of my bunk, but I'm sure you've probably seen it before, since you live there. And the only thing you'd see is wall-to-wall plants. They aren't very sociable."

"You did say it was crowded in there."

"Not a place to even lie down. Although I am figuring out that there are a few places throughout the ship that are sleep worthy. The weight bench, though, is not one of them. I was stiff for the longest time after that incident."

Pain chuckled a bit, remembering her landing flat on her back when she fell off the bench and then not being able to get up because half her body had gone to sleep.

"I don't know how you even managed to fall asleep on that thing," he commented.

"I've slept in worse places," she replied as a sad look slipped across her face. She replaced it with a devious smile and returned to the playfulness of their game. "And I'm very agile."

She grabbed a piece of bread from the basket and tore off a piece.

"What's your favorite activity to do when you are off duty?"

The innuendo had almost been too much to take; listening to Pain and Tommy's conversation from a nearby table, it had been all 13 could do to get up and kindly escort Tommy-gun away before she really got Pain wrapped around her finger.

But then...

"What's your favorite activity to do when you are off duty?"

"Alright," 13 said to himself, rising from his table so hard his chair launched backwards, scraping the floor. With a sheepish look and mumbled apologies, he composed himself. Couldn't attract too much attention.

"Just talkin' to a friend," he explained to the querying eyes. "Haven't...haven't seen her in awhile."

Pulling his chair to Tommy and Pain's table, 13 threw off his hat with a small 'ta-da!'

"It's me," he explained, gesturing towards the costume.

"Couldn't have guessed," Pain replied. "You got some compulsion for date-ruining?"

"This isn't a date!" 13 hissed. "It's seduction! Seduction most foul!" he said, pointing a shaking finger at Tommy.

"13," Pain said, sounding somewhat tired (or maybe 13's sensory bits were on the fritz). "Can you just-"

"Nope, sorry, can't do that, buddy. This temptress and I," 13 leveled an electric gaze at Tommy, "need to have ourselves a dialogue. One without a hopefully still-undersexed mercenary putting in witty remarks."

Eyes now narrowed fully at Tommy, 13 gestured towards the table he'd been occupying previously.

"Let's talk, you harlot."

Q: Fish or Hogarth?
A: Marillion.

She set the bread she was eating on her empty plate, picked the napkin up from her lap with her left hand and placed it firmly on the table before looking 13 straight in the eyes.

“Harlot?” Tommy asked. Ivy was gone now and Tommy was full ready to defend Ivy, should it come to that. “You have a lot of nerve. I’d say it seems more like you’ve got an unhealthy interest in your friend’s sex life. Here we are, having a nice time with some playful talk and you had to follow us and interrupt. Heard tell that it wasn’t the first time this has happened. And you were wearing a dress the last time. You trying to tell him something?”

"The dress was a disguise, you bread-munching veggie!" 13 said in a low voice, tones sizzling. "As for my interest in Pain's sex life..." 13 snorted. "If you'd seen the gals he's been with, sistah, you'd know you can't hold a candle. I use to have to turn my ears off with him and the E!"

Settling down a bit, 13 threw a thumb at Pain while maintaining the slightly-demented look at Tommy. "Tell her about Fly, Pain. If she's so worried about having me for competition, tell her about Fly. That'll settle some questions, sweets."

Q: Fish or Hogarth?
A: Marillion.

Pain simply sat back as Tommy and 13 traded words with each other. While he was a bit peeved that the Bot Boy had followed him and Tommy to the restaurant, he was slowly starting to become amused by the mud slinging between the two. He wanted to know just how many of Tommy's buttons 13 could push before she either went ape go-se on him, chewed him out, or drew a gun and shot him. He pondered about the last bit. Did she have a gun? And if so, where was she hiding it?

Pain snapped himself out of his thought process and asked, "Tell her what about Fly? Tell her about the time she kicked Jayne's pigu, or the time she posted the picture of you in that dress and wig on the Cortex?"

"A disguise?" Tommy snorted. "I think that the lady protests a little too much and if listening to Pain's past relations was a regular occurance, I'd say you obviously have a penchant for a little bit of voyeurism."

13 seemed to be getting a little more than hot under the collar.

"Well, based on that and what Pain here told me before, Fly sounds quite lovely. I would probably like her if I met her.

"Now, if you don't mind," she said as she looked over at Pain. "We were having a good time. I would appreciate you either leaving, whether it be back to the ship or back to your table. We still have dessert yet to discuss."

A slight smile of a seductive note spread across Tommy's face. She was obviously goading 13 and wondered where it might lead.

She also filed the name "Jayne" in her head. Must find out who this person is.

Bumping for the sake of bumping as well as hoping for 13 to show himself.

Pain picked up a piece bread and looked at it longingly. His mind pondered on whether to eat it or shove it up 13's nose as he waited for him to answer Tommy's oh-so-polite suggestion. Pain's mind veered off that subject and on to that of Tommy's "agility".

"Just how agile is she?" he asked himself, taking his eyes off the breadstick and giving Tommy a good once over. Placing the piece of bread back with the others, Pain turned to 13 and said, "So. You goin' to let us get on with our date and leave us the rutt alone, either by goin' back to your table or leavin' the restaurant, Bot Boy? Or are things goin' to have to get violent?" He glanced at Tommy, then back to 13. His eyes narrowed as he continued, "Cause I'd rather focus my time and energy on other things, then havin' to waste it on beatin' the go-se out of your tin can pigu."

There is that reference again. Bot Boy

Another reference. Tin Can

Yet another. …used to have to turn my ears off…

What is 13? she thought. Could he actually be a robot?

This was a surprise she never could have predicted. And her reaction was anything but predictable. For the first time in 2 years, Tommy was afraid. On the outside, he didn't look too dangerous, but beneath, a robot could be a near unstoppable opponent.

I'll take over from here, Ivy whispered to her. You need to regroup.

And Ivy slipped back in conrol.

She wanted 13 to go away. She had been having a good time and was not happy about having her date interrupted. The recent revelation had thrown her a little too. It was an odd feeling with her and Tommy's roles being in a sense, reversed. So she decided to focus on one thing... the date.

“It's obvious that he isn't leaving,” Ivy told Pain. “Before he ruins what is left of our wonderful evening, perhaps we should leave and find someplace more... private.”

"That sounds like a plan." replied Pain, getting out of his seat and making his way over to offer Tommy his hand. Looking back at 13, he smiled and said, "Be a friend and pick up the check will you? Thanks." Turning his attention back to Tommy, Pain gestured to the door and asked, "Shall we?"

They left the restaurant and 13 behind them. She hoped he wouldn't follow. She adjusted her bag on her shoulder, so it wouldn't slide off. Then she asked the question.

"Is he a robot?"

"Figured that out did you?"

"Yes. Bot boy should have been enough, but it's not something you'd readily think of," she answered. "He's not... dangerous... is he?"

"Nah. Not unless you got on his bad side," chuckled Pain.

That didn't make Ivy feel any better, but she was sure that she didn't want the date to end quite yet. Even with the holo-minstral and 13 events, she was still enjoying herself.

"Sooo... Where are you taking me now?" she asked as she smiled at him. "I've never been here before so I'll let you pick the place."
