”Oh! So we were!” Izzy softly giggled as she returned Lizzy’s kiss and then gave her a few more of her own.

They would enjoy themselves in the bath until the water started to cool at which point it was quietly agreed that it was time to get out and put some, if not all of their clothes on. And so it was wearing nothing but one of the fluffy robes and a pair of white panties that Izzy would lounge on the bed with her comms unit reading her messages ”Well it seems that Maddy got back in one piece…if not at a particular sociable hour” she giggled imagining the hangover she must be suffering right now ”…would you like to see if she’s up to coffee yet? Whilst we wait for Sam?”

 When the tub finally cooled down Lizzy and Izzy got out and dried off. " Yes I am glad she did I hope she is ok she is a little out of control." Lizzy finished getting dressed in casual clothes and replied," Sure we can see what she is up too before Sam gets here."

 Lizzy got out her comm and sent Madison a comm text," Good afternoon I hope you had fun want to join Izzy and myself for coffee and lunch know I guess."

Izzy would quirk an eyebrow at Lizzy’s comment before replying with a grin ”Nah that was just someone having a good time, if I hadn’t had a better offer I would have been out there with her…besides considering what we got caught doing in public we shouldn’t judge” with her looking sheepish at that particular memory.

With Lizzy pulling the rest of her clothes on Izzy would shed the fluffy robe and change into a skirt and a black T-shirt that was now a size too small with the word Babymetal emblazoned across the chest a set of long gone tour dates on the back, with her finishing the outfit with her Burian ankle boots. She would give the boots a loving look with her wondering if she could get the cobbler to make her some heels for the wedding or even just another pair of boots before looking up at Lizzy as she typed a message ”you ready to go babe? I saw this cute little cafe just down the block that would be ideal” she said, pushing her dirty clothes back into her bag ready to be taken back to the Hermes with her then sending her own message to Sam telling her where to meet them.

 Lizzy giggled and replied," Very true Izzy, well live like it is your last day, because it could be."

 Lizzy finished getting ready, then she replied," That sounds awesome lead the way my love."

 Sam stormed into the Palace, she was upset she didnt mind Madison having fun but she was an officer and held to a higher standard especially when she was a guest of another. Still in her full dress uniform with all her medals, she got to Madison's room and hit the buzzer," Madison I am glad you are ok but we need to talk."

"Ok then let's go, I've sent Sam a message to let her know where we're headed" Izzy replied in a cheerful voice as she picked up her jacket and put it on. With the destination settled, Izzy would take Lizzy's hand and the pair of them would leave the suite and head down the stairs and out the main entrance of the palace before taking a left and heading towards where Izzy had seen the coffee shop.

 Lizzy smiled," Ok great." Izzy and Lizzy headed out of the Palce hand in hand towards the coffee chop.

When Madison got out of the shower, she saw that there was a message on her comm. Still dabbing her hair with her towel she ran over to check it. It was from Lizzy. They were going to the Cafe.

"Shit!"

Hopefully they'd still be there if she hurried to get dressed. Madison tapped out the reply:

[Hi Lizzy. I hope you're still there. Getting dressed now. Where is this exactly?]

Tossing her com onto the messy bed, Madison quickly put on a summer skirt and a tank top with a pair of sandals. Her small purse was fine for her com, id, creds and sidearm.

(OOC: Semi-flexing)

As she was about to leave, she heard her door buzzer. When she swung it open it was Sam.

"Hi Sam! Good morning.. or afternoon. Sorry. I haven't checked the time. You look really great in that dress uniform."

 Sam smiled at Madison and said," It is afternoon, and thank you but I came here on official business. I got an SEC report on how arrived not so long ago in a condition unbecoming an officer. Normally I would let the LC or someone else handle this but I set you up with your room, so your actions reflect on me and the ESN and Hermes. I just ask you stay in control please from now on."

"Also Izzy and Lizzy are at a nearby Cafe do you want to join them." Sam smiled, she hoped Madison understood she had too keep work and friends separate, yes she just had a talk with Madison about he behavior, but she was still her friend.

Madison almost took a step back. That was not what she was expecting to hear. Apparently a 'condition unbecoming an officer' was a thing. She certainly didn't intend to make Sam look bad, but on reflection, she understood. Of course, she didn't actually remember how she got to her room, or even arriving at the palace. The last thing she remembered was... being in the car? Maybe? Well, she did remember getting in the car.  It took her a moment to gather herself to respond.

"I'm... I'm sorry, Sam. I didn't mean to make you look bad. I, honestly... probably wasn't capable of it, I guess. I'm so sorry." She really never considered that she could get anyone, even herself in trouble for getting a little crazy on leave. It probably would have been better if she just stayed out where she was. But, maybe not... considering.

When Sam mentioned Lizzy and Izzy, Madison held up her purse. "Yeah, they commed me. I was headed there now. Are you joining?"

 Sam was happy Madison understood, and just responded," Just be a little more in control thats all I ask, just please don't do it again." Sam smiled.

" Yes Izzy comm'd me as well, lets go shall we." Sam then led the way to the Cafe.

 The car with the four ladies pulls up to the Palace VIP entrance again. Sam gets out and smiled," That was amazing ladies I had a great time. Madison thank you when we come back will you teach me to ride?" Sam waited till everyone was out of the car before she did anything else.

From Bura sites and places

Madison was closest to the door after Sam. She jumped out, adjusting her skirt and top. "Of course, Sam. I'd love to teach you. You got a good start today. First get used to being on the horse, then we'll get into controlling it." She smiled, squeezed Sam's arm, then went to the back to get her bags from the trunk. As she picked them, she started wondering how all that was going to fit in her luggage

  ----->>>>>> From Bura Sights and Places

 Lizzy smiled at Izzy and just looked out at Bura as they headed back to the Palace. Lizzy got out of the car and said," Thank you so much for everything Sam, and Madison the horse riding was amazing thank you." Lizzy smiled took Izzy's hand and added," Ok we will see you on the Hermes we ae just going to get our stuff and head up." Lizzy would then head to their suite when Izzy was ready.

——> Bura sites and places

Lizzy would manage to take around three steps towards the entrance before Izzy pulled her away and through a small gate to the left that led into a small courtyard surrounded by raised flowerbeds and shrubs, with a pair of small round tables on the patio so that guests in the VIP suites could drink their coffee in relative privacy.

Before Lizzy, or anyone else for that matter, had much time to complain or ask why Izzy had dragged Lizzy away with no warning Izzy would drop to one knee in front of her and hold out the engagement ring with diamonds and emeralds glittering in the dying light of the day ”Elizabeth O’Conner, you’re most beautiful girl I have ever known, would you do me the honour of being my wife?” she asked, with her strangely feeling more nervous this time around than she had the first.

 Sam followed Izzy when she dragged Lizzy away and Sam got the whole thing on video comm. Sam smiled and kept recording so they would have this moment forever.

 Lizzy had no clue what was going on, Izzy pulled her into the wonderful courtyard and when Lizzy's head finally caught up, Izzy was on a knee showing her a gorgeous diamond and emerald ring. Lizzy smiled then took Izzy's hand and put the gorgeous ring on her finger and then replied," Yes I will Izzy, I would love to have you as my wife." Lizzy then pulled Izzy up gave her a huge hug and kissed her deeply and passionately.

With Lizzy accepting her proposal for the second time, Izzy would find herself being drawn into an embrace and passionate kiss which would go on for several minutes leaving Izzy slightly dazed when Lizzy finally broke it off ”ok…wow…um…if mom asks this is how I proposed to you, not the other way” Izzy said in a breathless voice. It was at this point that she would notice Sam filming the whole thing on her comms unit with her becoming suitably embarrassed by entire situation ”you will send a copy of that video won’t you?” she asked with bright pink cheeks as she stood within Lizzy’s arms.

 Lizzy giggled and replied," Of course and we have video proof now, thank you Sam." Lizzy looked at her new ring and the diamond surrounded by two emeralds, it was beautiful.  Lizzy was flying high and now it was official Lizzy had a beautiful ring, the ring was almost as beautiful as Izzy.

 Lizzy smiled and then added," Ok now we should get our stuff and head back to the Hermes. See you on the Hermes Madison and did you see the ring Izzy got me." Lizzy was beaming and had a glow about her, Lizzy was beyond happy.

 Sam smiled and when she was done filming she saved the video and then sent a copy to Izzy's and Lizzy's comms. " Already done Izzy."  Sam smiled at the love birds, gave them both a hug, then gave Madison a hug and then headed to get her gear ready to go back to the Hermes.

"I did not!" Madison hopped over to Lizzy. "Show me, show me."

The ring was amazing. "Izzy. Wow. Good job. It's so beautiful. I'm so happy for you guys."


After they had their individual plans, Madison gave everyone a huge hug then went up to her room to pack. She managed to get most everything into her original luggage. She just needed to carry one extra tote on the way back. She got a car to take her to the BU and went back up to the Hermes.

To Hangar Deck

”hmm so we do…” Izzy softly purred to Lizzy before stepping out of her embrace and smiling at Sam ”Thanks Sam, I couldn’t ask for a better friend” she said, glad that she had asked the tiny blonde to be her Best Lady come Maid of Honour.

After exchanging hugs with the group of ladies and giggling as Lizzy showed off her engagement ring, they would head into the palace in order to collect their things before meeting up out front to catch a van to the airfield with Izzy’s arms filled by the giant Pegasus Lizzy had won her at the fair, with it being almost as big as she was.

With the fluffy toy earning her a few amused looks from other members of the crew they would board the transport that would take them home to the Hermes.

 Sam smiled and replied," You are very welcome Izzy, well I try thanks." Sam hugged everyone then headed to her room packed everything up and then headed to the airfield to get a BU back up to the Hermes.

 Lizzy gave hugs and then headed up with Izzy to their room to get their stuff. Lizzy packed up the new things she bought, and then carried her four armed monkey.

 They both got looks carrying their stuffed animal toys, but Izzy's was huge. They made their way to the BU's and then took one back up to the Hermes.
