"Two Shuttles"
Continued from my "Christmas plans" on the STONEHENGE and from Taylor's 94
on the PATRIOT

No fuss was made as Daisy left because everyone
thought it was just her going off for an innocent
holiday. Cade sulked that she asked him to stay
behind and help in sickbay - because they were still
studying the after affects of what the Nocturians
had done to the crew.
Her closest friends all dropped off gifts for the
kids and wished her family a "Merry Christmas."
Peter teased that he'd upgraded the autopilot
and warned her if she crashed yet another shuttle,
he'd never forgive her.
In simple civilian clothes, a red sweater and
denim pants, Daisy managed a weak chuckle as
LJ asked why the brit had said such a thing.
"Cause Mom is horrible at flying...." Gavi
smirked, the stick of a lollipop hanging from
the left side of his mouth. "Peter says she's
crashed more shuttles than anyone he knows..."
Barefoot, Daisy made a few "Fists" with her
toes in the soft carpet of the shuttle's cabin
and pointed her finger at Gavi. "Hush, you...
don't scare your brother...I'll get us back to
earth just fine, thank you."
The teenager pointed awkwardly back in the
direction of the STONEHENGE and stammered,
"Ahem...pilot? We go back...get one?"
"Oh, honestly..." Daisy rolled her eyes.
"Trust me, both of you...ok?"
Gavi grinned. "Snotface will meet us at
the PATRIOT, right?"
LJ's face darkened when the PATRIOT was mentioned.
He was nervous about seeing his birthbrother again.
The Lawrence boys shared a painful history and had
a hard time relating to each other after their
rescue.
Daisy recognized the look on her Foster son's face.
It reminded her of when they first met - the same
haunted look he wore as he hid in the bathroom for
hours saying nothing except for broken bits and
pieces of song lyrics.
Standing up, she quickly pulled the teenager
into a hug and rubbed one knuckle lightly on
the top of his head.
"It's gonna be ok, baby..." Daisy promised him.
Standing an even six feet tall, Daisy had four
inches on her 15 year old Foster son.
LJ breathed in deep and let Daisy hug him, trying
to choke back this worry that she might decide
he should stay with Mav and Josh. He'd gotten
used to living with Daisy and her children - but
worried maybe this "Visit" was more about getting
rid of him than wanting him and his birthbrother
to still have a relationship.
"Mav is funny." Gavi offered. "You'll like him."
That didn't help as much as the younger boy had
hoped it would. LJ stepped away from Daisy, gave
Gavi a dirty look and a grunt before stomping
back to the passenger area and plopping himself
down on a bunk.
Frustrated by LJ's bad mood, the younger Ornaran
boy mustered a small ball of flickering electricity
in his left hand and Daisy quickly snapped,
"Gavirosh Davidson!"
Gavi flinched and accidentally discharged the voltage
at the floor. A small patch of carpet sizzled and
filled the cabin with the smell of burnt fabric.
Daisy groaned, "Gavi..."
He quickly stomped on the smouldering carpet and
put out the tiny fire. Then, he gave her a sheepish
grin and said,
"Oops - sorry, Mom."

Location: SHUTTLE heading from BAJOR towards
PATRIOT's Location
Scene: Helm * Main cabin

The former director of Starfleet's ACT program, Wangel
Erek cut a fine figure at the helm of any shuttle. He smiled
easily, showing a perfect row of white teeth. While Daisy
prefered to depend on Auto-pilot and avoid actual "Manual"
flying at all costs - Erek enjoyed flying the shuttle himself,
finding the faint hum of the engines that resonated through
the controls to be very soothing.
Stefanie Palan was half human and half Bajoran - just like
Erika. She very much enjoyed Christmas and sat with Erika
working on finishing Reindeer costumes for LJ and Gavirosh.
"Are you sure you don't want a reindeer costume for yourself?"
Stefanie asked again, smiling.
"Nope - I'm going to make Gavi and LJ be the reindeer and
pull me around in a sleigh." Erika boasted with glee.
Stefanie warned her gently. "Erika, they might prefer
to ride in the sleigh."
"Nope" boasted the spoiled little girl with a wicked smile.
"I'm going to be in the sleigh and they get to pull me around.
And, if they pull me fast enough - I might give them candy."
Chuckling, Stefanie changed the subject. "Well, these are
very nice Reindeer costumes..."
"And I haven't decided yet about you..." Erika added
casually.
"What about me?" Stefanie asked, confused.
"Whether or not I'll let you marry my Daddy...." Erika
shrugged flatly.
Shocked, Stefanie accidentally poked her finger with
her sewing tool and let out a little shriek.....
Laughing awkwardly, she scolded the little girl. "Erika!"
Daisy's daughter looked up at her innocently,
"What?!"

Still unaware of what's about to happen - Daisy and her kids are on their
way to the PATRIOT thinking they'll spend an ordinary, innocent holiday
with Mav and his foster son, JT.
Erik - Congradulations on your promotion!! You've deserved it for a long
time now. :)
