Beth looked over at the Question,well ,  first there is the 'entrance"...The Big Brass and their people get out first... cameras , all that stuff...Then  some couples  go with them, Some  Couples in Shadow's   Limo... alot of us  single  ladies  get out with him , to 'enhance', The Playboy Ace, thing. It gives us  an alibi  for any ...up..optional tbhings  that might pop up. However , we have  soem people  out there who might make it  , 'less important' to  have optional activities.


 anyway?  once your there , there are  some formal  Slow dances   with  people  you came iith , you hit you up when you got there... Then the  Fuji  folks   pick out Fleet folks to dance with... The brass, and personalities like  the SM and Sahdow are  big targets..in the  end ,it breaks down to a real party with  mixes of fast and slow songs, there  are foods  on the sideboards, and   enough drinks to fill the  Hermes  water   Tanks

 Sometime during the night, there are the   guy who have to get in theface of Sahdpow, or the LC,,sometiems Shade? Why upi pick on Shade  is  somthing i can't undersatnd..he doesn't hurt anyone, until he has to hurt some one!...Anyway.. Shadow  will take his leave, or be sent away, and that's our   cue that the After  party at the Condo takes  place...Its a real party, and all of our people are there , make it look like a real party, that covers the 'extras' i talked about...when the  time to Crash  happens, Shadows  Condo is  open on both wings except for the master Bed  room,,he uses the guest bed room inside that room, and the main bed room is stocked , for extras...so?  if you get lucky and need a place to  Get L...

Captain Si looked at her , then shifted her eyes  to Haley

 ..Um...get sleep..you just claim a room

Tarja would listen as Beth explained the itinerary for the ball with it sounding like that unless you had a date or were noteworthy enough to be chosen by someone from Fuji you could avoid the formal dancing and instead mingle and have something to eat and drink before returning to the party at the condo. Though she wasn’t sure why LC Shadow would require an alibi…”ah is good because I don’t know how to dance…I mean REAL dancing not drunken nightclub dancing, I can do that…oh wow so that is the smouldering eyes look” she would say as Lizzy finished her makeup and stepped to the side so she could see her reflection in the mirror. She had been worried that she would end up looking like a child’s Barbie but thankfully she still looked like her…just a little more feminine and sexier ”well little bird I think we are now even…thank you” she would quietly say to Lizzy, with her still feeling a little stunned by how well it had turned out.

"Like I said Tarja... smoldering" Nikki said now adjusting her pin. "You can use 'unable to dance' to your advantage.  gently step on a toe or two and blush.  ask your partner to teach you" she gave a wry smile "they'll help teach you"

There was a chuckle from Tarja in response to Nikki’s suggestion of how to use her inability to dance to her advantage ”I may have to try that…” Tarja replied with a knowing smile ”….it would be nice to…um…have some company tonight” she said mindful of the fact that there were little ears present ”…with that in mind are there any…dance partners…I should steer clear of?”

”oh hey that’s cool! Do Lizzy and Nikki have figures, also did anyone else make the cut or is it just pilots?” Izzy said excitedly upon learning about the new line of action figures. If there was indeed a pack containing Lizzy then she may have to try and buy one.

It was then that Lizzy would unveil her handiwork and a very happy Tarja ”Oh wow you look so hot, you’ll be beating them off with a stick!” she said as she moved over to stand next to Lizzy and handed her a glass of wine ”you did an amazing job there Liz…and you look pretty amazing too” she quietly said before leaning up to give her a kiss.

 Lizzy smiled and replied," You are welcome Tarja and I think we did a great job Izzy." Lizzy wondered if there where new toys that had new people maybe Sam and Izzy were made into figures. She had her mom's and she was happy with that.

 Lizzy giggled then replied to Izzy." Thank you and that was fun and you look amazing Tarja the guys will be all over you."

 Meari was all done and then walked over to Tarja and the others, Meari replied," You look amazing Tarja, you will steal a lot of hearts this evening." Meari was impressed Tarja looked amazing in her dress and the ladies makeup. " Everyone looks amazing as always thank you Captain Si."

 Sam was also all done and she made her way to Izzy and the others. " All of you look amazing, lets see how much fun this Ball will be."

"Oh, I finally heard from Mitch.  He's going to meet me on the hangar dec" she gave a smile about that "I can ask if his torpedoman Benny Banks has a date" she opened the com to Mitch.
"Mitch... does Benny have a date for the ball?" she took and sent a pic of Tarja. she then also pulled a photo of Benny. He was not a bad looking dude in his own right.

    Lyri , NA-CE, LT Hirr. and the other ladies from the Ops  came in, wet hair,  robes or towels.

 Lyri   looked at the Captain  and   had  an embarrassed grin... Thank yo Ma'am.. Sorry we  are  late. The    Young Felrite is  in Ned tech right now.

 Sneak stepped away from the  food,...Did Jax  do ok?

 LT Hirr decided this was a good  time to turn away.

 Lyri forced her  smile to stay,He..Um..Got nicked  up a bit, but he  walked up the loading ramp and  from what i understand  he is  getting  ready

  Sneak's  smile  went away, she Nodded  slowly and turned back to the  food  table.

  Captain   Si  looked at Lyri. who shrugged  and gave a weak smile.. Si  went over to  Sneak,why don't  you COM  him?

Sneak  gave a quick , short, shake of her head.No Ma'am.. We  may  both be Hermes now, but we are Stem... If I act like some Mindless Station  Girl. He  would  be  embarrassed, We  were forged in The Stem. we know the  deal, when  He  Goes out to fight, or I am on the Hanger Dec.. I won't  cheapen our relationship, by whining  or  sobbing like some  Vid Show  bitch.

  Captain Si smiled a   grim  smile  and  put  an arm around  Sneak , she sorta leaned into it..it was odd to see the  hard  -as -nails  Stem chick look tired...You two keep each other strong..and those  around you...

  yeaa Ma'am...  i will ask him as the night goes on, how things  went... he will tell me... and soime where in there  he wil say the Motto 'in it , to win it"..we have alot of payback to hand out.

 Si  gave her  shoulder  a  squeeze..we need more women like you in The Fleet Sneak Giggled and Pointed to Dana  there's one right there!

Dana  smiled,hey? I'm just here to  serve food and Play football. killing folks on the Hanger  dec is just a hobby.. most ladies laughed   and the cloud was gone, Lyri  found a Lavander  dress, that was above the  knee  and  wrapped around her  top.

”Oh…um…thank you…though I didn’t do anything really” Tarja mumbled uncertainly, clearly unused to the praise she was currently receiving from the other ladies.

It was then that a couple more women would arrive and begin getting ready with there being talk of one young woman’s date to the ball being injured ”who said anything about crying? Just call him and ask how he is, at least you’ll know if you have to take it easy with him under the covers” Tarja responded with a shrug. Though ultimately it wasn’t up to her.

With Nikki mentioning that her date was available and would be meeting her on the hangar dec, Tarja would find herself the subject of a little matchmaking when it was mentioned he had a gunner with her going on to ask about his availability ”Oh no Nikki I don’t need…” Tarja started to protest as her photo was taken and sent on with her then being shown a photo of Benny in return ”…I…I…um…suppose I could talk to him…it would only be polite” she finished deciding that perhaps on this occasion she could let it slide.

   Mitch send  a  COM after the Pics. :::  Benny  says  she  is great!.  He have to check in on his  Dress whites ,  but  we'll all meet on the hanger Dec ::

...

Sneak  sat out of the  way, she  nursed a glass of wine. Maria  sat next to her  and  talk, there  was some smiles. Maria  had a somewhat Blunt sense of humor, and it  was breaking down walls  on Sneak's worry.

 The Ops   girls  were getting  put through the assembly line to help them get ready...they had  about an hour  before the   transportation arrived.

Haley sat next to Sneak on the other side. "Hope he's okay." she gave Sneak a soft hug. She realized he was hurt but not how bad, still it worried Sneak and that worried her.

Nikki looked at Tarja "Mitch and Benny will meet us on the hangar dec." she said. "And you are correct... It does not hurt to at least talk.  and if he gets out of line let him know several ladies will help put a high heel where the suns never shine" she gave a short laugh "But he is a sweet guy.  Really"

”Ok I’ll head down whenever you’re ready so you can introduce” Tarja replied to Nikki as she took a glass of wine from the table, wondering how she’d managed to get a date in such a short amount of time, especially without having met the guy, and why she was feeling so anxious about it. Though she did have to chuckle when Nikki said that there were several women that would put him in his place if he misbehaved ”I don’t think that will be problem” she said, flexing a nicely muscled arm with Nikki hastening to add that he was a sweet guy…and easy on the eyes if his picture was anything to go by and to be fair she wouldn’t object to a little misbehaviour.

 NA-CE walked in with Lyri, she smiled at everyone then went looking for a dress, she just said openly," Ok I did gold last time what color should I go with this time ladies?" NA-CE went quickly to the dresses and began looking.

"NA-CE, Try this one. Off white with mother-of-pearl design" she spotted it almost neglected. she pulled it out for her "I should leave for the hangar dec or I may never leave captain Si's closet...ever" she gave another light laugh. she handed NA-CE the dress.

”Oh this is so cool! I have an action figure! I will be able to get an Izzy figure and a Lizzy figure and make kissy faces with them” Izzy would exclaim in excitement having found the manufacturers website in her comms unit seen the new releases.

Taking a seat next to Lizzy she would slip her arm around Lizzy’s slender waist and sip a glass of wine as the last few women arrived and hurriedly started getting ready ”I hope we get a little beach time, it’d be nice to try and get a bit of a tan and a swim…not to mention the fact that I enjoy seeing you in a bikini” Izzy would say to Lizzy with a giggle before taking a sip of her wine. Looking forward to having Lizzy all to herself as her honeymoon had seemingly gone in the blink of an eye ”oh and maybe a meal out and some shopping!”

"Okay.  Ladies those of us who are ready should start making our way to the Hangar dec." Nikki said "Give some others room to move.  Haley let me give you a final check" making sure there were no stains or unsightly wrinkles and such.
after a quick nod and approval from Si, Nikki headed for the door, a few other ladies following.  Jug with them as well. "No one wants to miss the party" she gave herself a final check then out the door.  down to the lift and the hangar dec.

===>Hangar Dec

 NA-CE smiled looked at the dress and replied," The dress is gorgeous thank you Nikki." NA-CE quickly got ready, then found a pair of shoes, she looked at Lyri to see if she was close as well.

 NA-CE went over to the ladies doing hair and makeup, " I need help ladies, simple makeup and hair will be great, just glad we got here in time."

 Lizzy smiled and replied," Wow Izzy that is awesome, I told you, you would get one too my love. I already have mine and my mom's as well. We need to get the Angel dress accessories."

 Lizzy was happy Izzy had a figurine she knew Izzy was excited about that. " Well we should get some beach time we dont have to plan or get anything, we can just relax and have fun and like I said no Delta Nights tonight I am all yours tonight."

 Then Nikki, Haley and a few other, even Jug where heading out for the Hanger Dec. " You ready to head on out my love?" Lizzy gave Izzy a kiss on the cheek, took her hand and headed for the Hanger Dec, after Izzy replied of course.


------>>>>>>> To Hanger Dec

 Sam smiled at Izzy and Lizzy and the others, and then made sure she was all set for Zob and headed to the Hanger Dec to look for Zob.

---------->>>>>>> To Hanger Dec

 Meari was dine she saw others heading out, she went over to Tarja and said," Are you ready to head down to the Hanger Dec, I will meet Frakas there. You do look great I am glad you came this time, this is a lot of fun, and they call it quality girl time, I have no ides what that means, humans are so interesting."

 Meari would wait for Tarja's response.

Jug led NA-CE to where a few ladies were doing hair and making up. "Frans and a few other ladies will help. they not all leaving yet, you will make party.  Not worry" she grinned then let the human ladies work their magic.  Jug then joined Nikki, Haley and others in the lift.
"I not sure if he is going.. the new man in SEC." Kug wondered "Someone called him... Graves?  I think this his first party" she said.

===> Hangar Dec

With Nikki announcing that it was about time for them all to leave Tarja would kill the last of her wine and get up ready to go ”Yes, is sounding like good idea to me” she said sounding far more confident than she felt though she did offer Meari a smile as she came over ”Yes, I am ready…and you are looking very good too” she replied as they started walking towards the door with a perplexed look on her face ”I am not sure what quality girl time is…I am thinking something is being lost in translation?”

Hangar Dec ——>

”Uh-huh ooh and there are fighter models too!” Izzy said as she continued to scroll through the selection of action figures and accessories before looking up at Lizzy and giving her a seductive smile ”hmm damn right you are” she purred before shutting down her comms unit and finishing her wine ”I’m ready if you are baby” Izzy relied as she took Lizzy’s hand and followed her out the door.
