Red and the Horned Beauty (Cross Ikon)

[Rik'Tani]

"I've been wanting to meet a crew for months!" Rikki replied. The thought of doing so put a bit of a bounce in her step.

"Let's go, then, Rikki."

I actually grinned at her again.

"Really, I'm glad we're going back. This old box isn't fit to sleep in... Let alone do things of a more, um, amorus nature."

She stepped onto the shuttle, findng a seat. To be honest, it was a little dingy. Though, surprisingly, she'd flown in worse.

"We'll only be in here for a few minutes. The Duchess is literally as close as it can get without being shot at by planetary defenses."

I spun my chair and grinned at Rikki.

"You'll love these guys."

"If they're your crew, I'm positive I will." Rikki grinned back. It felt like a thousand years since she'd been anywhere near a good crew. Especially the kind that you'd want to have your back in a fight.

"It's not even that they're my crew.... It's that my brother is a shameless boozer... Even more so than me. And his girlfriend is a former slave dancer who's quick with a gun. And... well, you should meet the rest yourself."

I remembered something else.

"And I forgot the best part... Guess what it is..."

Rikki put a finger on her chin, pretending to think really hard. "Hmmmm..... You have a water bed?" She joked.

[Cross Ikon]

"No... Too many sharp objects around, babe... Like my mind."

I grinned even wider.

"Keep guessing."

[Rik'Tani]

She chuckled, trying again. "Ummm..... Your ship is red?" That would be pretty amazing.
[member="Cross Ikon"]

 

[Cross Ikon]

"No... But there's red stuff inside it... Which is what I've benn trying to hint at..."

I stuck my tounge out at her and tried not to laugh.

"And my ship's actually blue. I was trying to make it harder to see in space."

[Rik'Tani]

Rikki stuck her tongue out right back at him. "Can I buy a vowel?" She asked. Guessing games were always fifty-fifty with her. She might be on a roll, or she might not even be close.

I stuck my tounge out again.

"Nah, I'll just tell you.... All the booze on the whole fleet..."

I paused for effect.

"Is over eight hundred years old. Extremely alcholic."

Rikki whistled, impressed. "Sweet baby Hutt. I'm in heaven...." She sighed, leaning back against the wall and staring at the ceiling.

"Honestly, I thought it was gonna go bad after all that time, but me and my brother tested em.... He had a hangover for two days just off three shots. And even I had a hangover the next morning..."

She smiled wildly. "I'm gonna throw crew parties the likes of which the Galaxy has never seen!" She said, already beginning to plan the first one. This was gonna be one Hell of a good time. That much was certain.
[member="Cross Ikon"]

 

[Cross Ikon]

"I'll come to every one of them. The Cross Fleet will be the standard to which all other keg parties must compare!"

I grinned.

"We're gonna live more like pirates than actual pirates do."

(I just made this sound like Team Rocket or something....)

Rikki laughed heartily. "Cheers to that, mate!" She held up an imaginary glass.

"And I was totally serious about going back to the Consortium. I wonder what they'll do if I tell them I'm that one historical guy...."

[member="Rik'Tani"]

 

[Rik'Tani]

"They'll probably try to kill you. Or lock you up for your mental instabilities..." She said. Rikki walked over to him and sat across his lap. "You'd have to be crazy to be a legend. And have me as your arm candy."
[member="Cross Ikon"]

 

[Cross Ikon]

"Well, I must be totally batsh*t, then."

I put my arm around Rikki's waist and kissed her again.

"Now, we gotta have like, a quota of insane things every day. Before we go to bed at night, we have to do like, ten crazy things or something."
