The    first  of the  'parents dances  was done"

 Captain Si  swi5tched to Lizzy  and The Admiral switched   to Izzy

Shadow,  Stayed  with Maddy. Most of the crew  and  sorted out....Nikki  and Mitch were  dancing, he seemed to be holding her  Closer... Haley  was dancing  with Can

 Dusk made  no move to leave the   sto9nes   of the  courtyard   for the   boundary tables/

Vaka  seemed   very   at ease with Dancing  with  NE-CE. but? in his head, he was  lucky  that an angel  would dance  with him.

 Frakas..Tonight , we go to our Steel home in The Black. It is good  to go home, but ...somewhat  upsetting to leave   solid ground behind.

 Lizzy smiled at Admiral Hack, and then went and danced with Captain Si. Lizzy couldn't help it she gave Captain a big hug and said," Thank you so much, that was amazing I am so happy." Lizzy then released Captain Si and they danced together.

Slight Flex
When the music stopped Izzy would take Lizzy’s hand and gently kiss her fingers as their first dance together came to an end. It was then that the rest of the guests were permitted to dance, with Lizzy dancing with Admiral Hack and she with Captain Si who were taking on the role of the bride’s parents. Needless to say Izzy was more than a little excited to be dancing with Captain Si with it taking an extreme effort of will not to turn into a blushing, giggling mess ”Captain Si…hmm…Nil?….do you perchance know Captain Traci Capshaw?” Izzy would quietly ask as much to have something to say to her than out of curiosity, with the use of the Captain’s first name sounding strange, but her rank sounding out of place considering that they were dancing together ”…it’s just that Lizzy and I were talking the other night and it turns out that Captain Capshaw is kind of a hero of Lizzy’s and I was wondering if you knew her and whether she was nice and if you could introduce Lizzy to her sometime?” she continued, with her natural falling into the role of the lead, with her hand feeling very nice on Captain Si’s waist. Not as nice as Lizzy’s but still, there was a reason as to why she’d had a crush on her.

Once her dance with Captain Si had come to an end, she and Lizzy would switch partners, with their being an awkward moment as both Izzy and Admiral Hack tried to lead causing Izzy to blush and stammer ”Sorry…force of habit” before allowing the Admiral to take control.

With Meari and Frakas disappearing to dance together once the brides had finished their first dance together, Tarja would help herself to another glass of wine and take a seat off to one side and quietly watch the dancing couples.

 Captain  Si  siled, , it grew a bit wider  as  she heard her first name, and felt  Izzy's hand on her  waist, but. The Captain was used to such things, from men and  women.

 Traci?  Yes of course, She  trained Under me  and Oliver., she  took out a  sloop with her  damaged fighter, by  flying  it into the thrusters   as she PODed out.. she had a very severe  arm would, they replaced her  left arm  with a Prothesis of Angel steel. She is Now Captain Of  The Ares I play   racquet Ball with her when we get to  Carrier stations. we do not have a decent set up for good  racquet ball, on cap ships...Med Tech ships  have great ones. I will talk with her, see what I can do...

  KE-NA  stuck her   head  in when  Hack was  with Izzy, and Si was  with Lizzy...I had  some good advice  i got  from one of the Huamns  who helped with this?... Because there is  2  brides. And  Izzy is..um...size  challenged... we are Goign to have aa different  sort of Bridal dance..., Both women will be in the center, and will dance  with those who  come  along  we'll have   2 lines.. one each  will line  up  for each Bride, then  switch  to the other Bride
s line..when the Brides  are ready to Move off..ANSEC will  form a corridor  to the  Shuttle Izzy used to change  and , and Fly them to the Hermes.. we have arrangements to get their thigs from the Condo, and here, as well as the Cake  topper.

.........

 She Got the    'Groomsmen' and   Bridesmaids to getter... the men would hold  trays of Burian Brandy, Angel  whiskey  or  American whisky..The Bridesmaids   Cake wrapped to take home, there  is  a Pot  was  placed  where   Sam  and  Nikki  would  sand  for  'creds  as 'gifts to the couple'..Mikki would make sure  every one  got   two 'swings"  before Moving on, as  would  Same..

  before that was  set up, the bridal party   got  to  dance with  each of the brides.

..............

Roy would Go before    the other three ( after   Sam and Nikki )

 Shade  went After  Roy...  He  Blee[ed  and whirled. his eyes  ere  Green m hus  touch , gental  , despite not  having   fully human skin

 when it  came time  for the LC  to  Dance with  Lizzy... Well Lizzy..camwe a long way from your Birthday party to here?.. maybe i shouldn't have let you have the  'downtime" when your machine  needed 'repaired '...but..here you are!


.....

 Roy would then dance with Izzy...

Shade   would   dance  with  Izzy and whilr a bit.  Shadow  , as he waited his turn, said..He said   you both look  really bice!

Shadow danced  with  With Izzy,  he chuckled softly.Nothign i can say wound   come off  anyb better then a wartning or condensending... so let me   agree  with Shade that you Both look good, and Congradulations

 when the party was   done ( including  Haley and Can)

 The men took thier stations,  bar tenders  ready with  more bottle s  to  fill which ever  trays.

 trays   stacked like  cordwood of wrapped  cake,  with Kitchen people  cutting thr cake expertly  to make  certain  tit would all be  cut.. there were bins that would be sent back to the Hermes  as well. For those who  could  not  attend.

  Morris  , Rivets , Roles  and Bale  all  told thier  dances.. the  'gift  can' was filling up

Nikki let the party flow naturally.  As the topper piece for their anniversary was cut and taken to be frozen she let person wrapping it carefully she would take it since the brides were going on honeymoon.  she would put in her fridge to give them on their return.  she had a dab of frosting on her finger then slyly looked about.  smiling as she snuck up.  cornering Mitch she nose booped him with the frosting. smiling she let him wipe a bit and he returned the boop.  she kissed what was left on his nose away.  "talk about a sweet kiss"

In reply to Samantha Robertson (msg # 858):

Zob nodded in agreement, "Indeed it was, they will make a good couple for certain" was all he said in regards to it as there really wasn't much else that needed to be said, "Speaking of which i could use your assistance when we get back to the ship, I'm looking to purchase real estate back on Bura a large mansion home that we cleared out back on one of our previous ops, could you perhaps use your pull to secure me that home for purchase?" he asked her as they danced.

Roy's dance (with both) was a little stiff, and very much by-the-textbook as far as style, and it was apparent that his ease of manner when dancing with Dusk was very much a case of the partner and not any of his own doing.  But, while it was formal, it was done with competence...he might not be proficient at dancing, but his training in general had him comfortable with moving his body.

As he danced with Lizzy, he floundered, mentally, for a moment for something to say, trying to find some way to not come off as stiff and formal as his dance technique.  He finally settled on something...

"Thank you for giving Izzy a nudge.  There was a while there where I thought for sure we would be sending her off to finish her tour of duty doing administrative work on a carrier station or sitting a post on one of the Delta colony worlds, but you seem to have helped her find some of her fire again."  He paused for a moment, then added, with a chuckle, "Just try to leave her with enough energy to actually take her turn on the duty roster, okay?  Starship hulls aren't exactly soundproof..."  His tone made it apparent that, while he might not know specifics of how they spent their time together, he'd heard enough--either on his own observation or from reports of SEC personnel on duty--to have a pretty good idea of the intensity of their amorous appetites...but there was no judgment in the words.  If anything, it was something of a gentle teasing.

But rather than dwell on that, he continued, "It was a lovely wedding, with two lovely brides.  Congratulations to you both..."

He had an easier time finding words with Izzy, being more familiar with her.  "I'm still expecting you to get those drone ideas written up," he said, following it up with, "I understand you've found something else to focus your time on, but it was your idea in the first place, and I hope you'll see it through with the same kind of energy you've devoted to this relationship."  It could almost have been a fatherly encouragement...but there was an odd inflection to his voice as he mentioned 'energy' that could, were one so inclined, be taken at more than face value.

"But for now, if I may throw a little advice in the mix...enjoy the honeymoon.  There's time to focus on the war later...take a little time to enjoy just being alive.  It's been a beautiful day, with two beautiful people committing their lives to each other.  Give it its proper due...plenty of time for responsibilities later.  Congratulations..."

Izzy would smile as Captain Si confirmed that she did indeed know Traci Capshaw and regularly met up with her to play racquetball, and was more than happy to have a chat with her and see about arranging some kind of meeting ”Thank you Nil, it would mean the world to Liz if she could meet her” Izzy said before proceeding to enjoy the rest of her dance with the glamorous Captain Si.

End of slight flex

After dancing with Admiral Hack it would be the the turn of the groomsmen and bridesmaids, with Izzy dancing with both Nikki and Sam, with whom she spent most of the time giggling with, before dancing with the first of the groomsmen; Roy.

The dance with Roy was a little stiff and formal, though that was perhaps to be expected under the circumstances. She would listen as he spoke to her in fatherly tones, prompting her to resume her work on the drone project and not get too distracted by a certain redhead ”I will, I promise…I’m close to being able to begin work on producing a working prototype” Izzy quietly promised before Roy went on to advise her to enjoy her honeymoon ”I will, and thank you for stepping up as groomsman, I know you were kind of Shanghaied into doing it…also if this war has taught me it’s that you need to grab what joy you can because you never know what’s around the corner” she said with her eyes flickering over to where Dusk was standing in way of a subtle hint.

Her dance with Shade was enjoyable with him not seemingly having inherited his father’s two left feet or temperament, with her also finding it rather novel to have a dance partner that was a similar to her, which was no doubt a new experience for him too.

Her dance with Shadow however would prove to be rather…awkward…with neither of them particularly wanting to dance with the other but not to do so would be too obvious a snub especially with the whole world watching. With Shadow saying that both her and Lizzy looked good in their dresses Izzy muster up a smile as she replied ”Thank you, and you being here means the world to Liz”

In reply to Zobaich (msg # 871):

 Sam smiled and replied," Of course I will take a look at the information when I get back on the ship, I think I can help arrange something Zob, so you want to retire on Bura then?"

In reply to Samantha Robertson (msg # 874):

Zob would continue to dance as he spoke, "It seems like a good place to live and also a place I can invest in for business opportunities" he said explaining his reasoning making it sound more like a grand retirement plan, "Though it will be really weird if after a few years I turn green I'll be Bura's jolly green giant" he chuckled.

  The Bridal  dance began....

 the Lines  Moved   with the ladies  holding the Trays  for  cakes. and The Men holding  Trays  with shots.

 Shade  Bleeped as he looked at Roy and Shadow.no!..remeber what happened to you when you drank that beer on Etnam after the fight?

 Lizzy had an emotional but amazing dance with her Godmother Nil-Si. She got her emotions under control and continued the dances.

 Lizzy smiled at Roy and replied," I have been trying, I got her to try the drone thing again but she did pretty good as an Omicron operator and she said she enjoyed it. Thank you very much SM." Lizzy was a very good dancer, so she enhanced how well the SM looked.

 Lizzy always enjoyed dancing with Shade, and he was always a gentleman.

 Lizzy did all the dances when she got to the LC the ran up to him and basically jumped into his arms and gave him a huge hug and kiss on the cheek. " Thank you, Sir, for stepping up you don't know how much that means to Izzy and me, thank you for everything Sir."

 Lizzy then took her place for the final dance for Izzy and Lizzy before they run out to head back to the Hermes.

Smiling and tearing a bit Nikki quietly waved at Lizzy and Izzy as they prepared to make a run for it.  When she caught their eyes she blew the couple an air kiss.

 Sam smiled, and replied," Yes it is, now that they are free of the Empire Bura is growing there will be many business opportunities for sure." Sam danced close with Zob, then after his comment Sam giggled, and added," Well that would be interesting, but I know I will turn green after some time there I hope that is ok." Sam giggled but she was serious she would turn green once she settles back on Bura when the war was over.

Zob was reminded of a children's vid disc that was on the shelf back home involving two green people and a swamp, "If its anything like Orria's child holo vid that had two green people in a swamp and some strange 4 legged creature that spoke, i think it will be just fine" Zob said with a smile.

Another slight Flex

Where her dance with Sam been all giggles and whispered gossip concerning their respective sex lives, not to mention the fact that they were probably the “littlest couple” there, Izzy’s dance with Nikki, though enjoyable was a little more…formal. Although she liked Nikki, Nikki had always been more Lizzy and Harry’s friend than hers so they had never really spent much time together alone. As such it would take Izzy a little while before she was able to speak to the Southern girl ”I…um…I’ve kind of been meaning to…um…thank you for watching Lizzy’s back out there and bringing her back home, I know she’s your wing lady and it’s your job but…thank you” Izzy said as they danced together.

After her dance with the LC it was time for the brides dance with her once again finding herself within Lizzy’s arms as they danced to the music.

 Samm giggled and replied," I dont know that children's vid, I didnt have much of a childhood and after U was rescued, I watched vids on computers, electronics and repairing it. I am glad you will be fine, I will check into this property, if memory serves it was seized by the government I will see what I can do. Now we have to do the final dances, shall we , this has been amazing, thank you." 

  This is  the end  Dance..

 Hely and   Can 'guard the can' for  creds.. people  like up to   dance  then  join the  circle..( ANSEC will open  the  circle when the brides are ready to escape)

again.. the  Men have shots..the Ladies hold cakes for those who  complete the dance.


RP out dances.. brides  escape and we will move on

Tarja would have a couple of dances. The first was with Conrad, with him once again asking if she was alright as they’d danced with Tarja lying through her teeth and saying that she was fine. She thought it was kind of sweet of him to care, but she wasn’t comfortable with the idea of unburdening herself on him, or at least not yet anyway and certainly not here.

The next was with a pilot officer who had initially appeared to be charming only for her to realise after a few minutes that he was only trying to get into her pants. Fortunately Tarja was sober enough to forget how to speak English, with the guy leaving to try his luck elsewhere after his charm was met with baffled looks and broken English…well…more broken than normal anyway.

And then she had a dance with Penny, which was surprisingly enjoyable despite the decidedly drunk redhead repeatedly enquiring after Inga’s availability and preferences, with Tarja quietly informing her, much to Penny’s obvious delight, that Inga was indeed single, but with the warning that she would require gentle handling if she were to be successful in her pursuit.

With Penny disappearing to find herself another drink or possibly Inga, Tarja would take a seat and watch as the brides began their final dance before their escape, with Tarja looking to see if she could spot Meari, NA-CE or even Karl to keep her company.

The dance would begin like the first, with Izzy leading Lizzy in a slow dance at the centre of the dance floor, with Izzy holding her new wife close as they moved to the music. Then at KE-NA’s signal the music would change and a circle of dancers would form around them as the tempo of music increased. It was then that people would begin to try and “steal” the bride with them darting out of the circle to playfully try and grab either her or Lizzy, with Izzy for her part giggling or giving a surprised squeak as they moved away from the would be thief, all the while dancing to, or at least attempting to dance to the music.

 Lizzy smiled and danced with Izzy, then they tried to get her or Izzy. Lizzy would use her dancing skill, to keep dancing and keep moving from the guests trying to steal one of the brides. Lizzy didnt know how long this would last but she was having fun and was all smiles.

 The ring was growing bigger. There  were Many Pilots there   after    Shadow Contacted   Frans  and Fran  and Flores   recruited   wedding guests. it was too hard...The SEC hand   a good showing,  Will and Cora, and  Ellen with  Mann.

   The three guys  holding the Trays where running  low, the  servers   would tactfully add another    10 shots or shot  when it  got to close.NA-LE  paid her   creds and  took a  shot of the Burian  brandy, she would collect her   cake  after the dance,

 So? the Mighty  LC Shadow , reduced to a servant... her eyes glistened a bit, she may have  had a few more drinks  before  arriving at the  line.

 Yeah? Well, I'm  just   a Guest now, like veryone  else, except  our station here is to  add to the enjoyment of the revelers . Nothing downggrading about it...  You have
 an LC, and Ambassador  and the SN of the   Fleet..pretty good company to be in,

 People   where   'la lal laing' along with the  , ever, repating   music  as the two  Brides were swung around  by the    'next' dancer.

They would dance and twirl around to the music as the circle of people got bigger and more boisterous as the drink began to flow, with them continuing to dart into the circle to either dance with or “steal” one of them, with the dark haired AI trooper at one point picking Izzy up off of her feet and twirling her round before gently setting her back down in front of Lizzy, with her then rejoining the circle.

This would go on for some time, with several of their friends and crew members entering the circle to enjoy the merriment, before Izzy started to flag, with even her boundless energy beginning to fade with Izzy leaning in close to whisper into Lizzy’s ear ”Shall we make our escape?”

 Lizzy was having a blast and had a great time. This was amazing, and it seemed to bring a lot of people together as well. Everyone was having fun when Izzy came to Lizzy. Lizzy smiled and replied," Sounds good to me, ok I will signal Nikki." Lizzy hugs Izzy close then gives Nikki the signal they will be escaping now.
