"Right this way" (Cont'd from "Preparations for gallivanting") Location: USS STONEHENGE Scene: Izzies quarters Stardate: 2.80815.1913 Izshlana peered at Scarlet who was currently lying on one of the suspended egg shaped chairs. She eyed the little cat wearily and tried to tempt her out with a bit of cat food. Her door chimed and she called for whoever it was to come in without really paying attention. A small girl arrived next to her and looked from Izzy to the cat. "What you doing?" "Watching Scarlet" Izzy answered. "Why?" "Beltha." Xordin said with a sigh and stepped into the room. "Please don't start with the whys." Izshlana glanced up and looked at the Prince of the Atleavkith stood in her doorway wearing pale jeans and a sleeveless t-shirt, she scowled a little. "What can I do for you?" "Daddies taking me down to the beach and I wanted you to come with me." Beltha declared in a rush, she tugged on Izzys uniform jacket "You want to come with us don't you?" Xordin managed to look innocent whilst trying to hide a smile. "It was her idea." Beltha nodded with a big grin. "Please come." Izshlana shook her head. "But something's wrong with Scarlet." She said pointing at the cat that refused to move or eat. Xordin stepped into the quarters and looked at the cat. "She ate ok yesterday." He pointed out but he looked at the cat. "I know but she was sick this morning and she hasn't eaten since." "Maybe she's lonely." Beltha offered. "Sometimes when I get lonely I feel sick and not like eating." Izzy considered this her head tilted to one side and her tail flicking slowly from one side of her body to the other. "Maybe, how can I stop her getting lonely?" "Well you have her to stop you getting lonely." The small atleavkith pointed out. "Maybe you could get her a pet." "What kind of a pet?" Izzy asked considering this. "Don't encourage her; she's only come up with this so she can have a pet." Xordin said from behind them both. Beltha glared at her dad. "No Daddy, this is for Scarlet. I don't know what kind of a pet, but I'm sure there is a pet shop on the planet and maybe we can get something for her there?" Izzy nodded and smiled her hair and tail bleaching to a bubble gum pink her body flushing to a silvery pale pink. "Let's go, let me get changed." She disappeared behind a divider in the room and Xordin turned his back while Izzy hummed to herself and reappeared, bright pink and clothed in shorts and a waistcoat. "Let's go." She repeated and then leaned down to look at Scarlet. "I'll see you later." She promised and petted the cat and placed the bowl of cat food near enough for the little animal to get at. =[/\]= Location: E4 -> Space Scene: Maddies Office -> guest quarters -> Klingon shuttle Peter had barely left the office to go back to the STONEHENGE and his family when another familiar figure stepped into Maddies office. Maddies eyes widened slightly but she came around the desk and offered the tall man a hug. "Jeff." She declared, "What a pleasant surprise." She stared at her brother in law for a moment, "what are you doing here?" "I came to visit family." The doctor answered with an easy smile. "I thought you and the children would be a good place to start." "So did half of Starfleet" Mad'hron muttered. "Have you been given quarters?" she asked and waited for him to nod. "Maybe you should go and clean up, I can take you to see the kids later, and they'd like to see their uncle Jeff." Jeff nodded and then stepped forwards and hugged his wife's adopted sister before heading out the door. He was conscious of being watched as he moved to the quarters he had been assigned but he could have just been paranoid. The doors to his quarters barely closed when the transporter beam took hold of him. "What the hell are you doing here?" Kat's voice barking at him from a control panel was enough to relax him. "Trying to find out why my wife is a fugitive from Starfleet." Jeff snapped back he matched Kat in volume he folded his arms across his chest while the much smaller woman placed her hands on her hips and glared at him. "And where the hell are we?" he asked looking around. "On a borrowed klingon ship." Kat answered with a small smile. "Borrowed?" "I still have friends." She pointed out and glared at her husband, "you shouldn't be here." She continued. "If anyone finds you it can only look bad for your career." "You beamed me up here." He repeated. Kat nodded and then gave him a wry smile. "I missed you." She paused. "You look good in red." Jeff smiled at that and then looked up as he heard the moan. Kat moved two paces and stood between him and the little girl. "Don't." she attempted to order. "You can still be beamed back and no one needs to be any the wiser." Jeff looked at her for a moment took in the concern on her face and then stepped around her; he moved a blanket and looked down at the little changeling. Kat wrapped her arms around herself waiting for his response. "She needs a sickbay." Jeff said quietly. =[\/]= Location: E4 Scene: Pet shop "Dad, dad look." Beltha called excitedly. Xordin sighed and muttered under his breath. "I can see all the small furry animals, I can even hear them, and what's more I can smell them." "You're no fun." Izshlana admonished him with a little smile. "Also getting Beltha to ask me along wasn't fair." "Bella wanted to see you." He answered, "She misses you." "I wonder what she misses most, me shooting people, me getting people shot or me rowing with her dad," "All of the above. Also you helping her build a fairy castle out of bricks." Xordin answered seriously he turned to look at Izzy but she was looking away and all the things he wanted to say blurted out as a quiet. "Um." "Izzy, Izzy come and see." Izshlana smiled and followed the sound of the little girl, around a box of kittens avoiding a large dog and eventually came to the front of a large cage. A large very bright blue blob sat on a branch at about Izzys head height. "You should get it." "What is it?" Beltha shrugged her shoulders. "I don't know but it's BLUE." The blob moved and separated into two balls of fair, with four legs and a long tail they both had pointed ears and large black eyes. One of them stopped and poked an elongated nose out and sniffed the air, and then promptly sat on her hind legs and washed her whiskers. They were small enough to fit into the palm of one of Izzy's hands. "They're just babies, but the last batch I had only grew to twice that size." The shop keeper explained with a nod to the cage. "What are they?" Izzy asked, "I've never seen anything like them before." While she watched the other blue blob was busy climbing the bars of the cage. The shopkeeper shrugged his shoulders. "Some kind of cross between a monkey and a mouse," he answered. "They like to climb and need a lot of space and they eat grains and fruits from most planets." "I'll take one." Izzy declared. "And we'll have the other one." Beltha answered. Xordin glared at his daughter. "Are they handlable?" he asked, the shop keeper answered by opening the cage and reaching in, he pulled both of the blue blobs out and handed one to Izzy and the other to the taller man at her side. Xordin looked at the animal for a minute and then looked at Izzy. "It kind of looks like you." Izshlana glared at him. "We'll need to buy some food as well, oh and I need some cat treats and a cage and a…" The shopkeeper grinned at them both, "right this way." ** The madness behind Lt JG Izshlana Vort aSec/Tac USS STONEHENGE And Commander Katlina Gorman AWOL From HyperNews_at_youth.net
