C> Little Bird calling Big Daddy.
Come in Big Daddy.
C> Siee, that you again? It's only been close
to three weeks.
C> I know. I got
a favor to ask of you. Mind if we land in private?
C> Again? Sure, lass. You trying to run from someone?
C>Um, maybe?
C> Siee..... -=warning tone=-
C> I love you Booster?
C> We'll talk when you land. Bay seven. Terrik
out. -=click=-
Siee smiled and waved
to Kyp across the space between the X-Wings.
Oblivious, he waved back.
She guided her X-Wing
to the hanger and hopped out, smiling at Booster where he waited.
With arms crossed. "Well?"
Kyp cautiously set his x-wing down beside hers then
hopped out to get their bag from his cargoe compartment.
Siee smiled and held
her arms out. "What, no hug?"
He raised his eyebrows, "You'll get a hug once you
tell me what's going on."
"Ask Kyp. It's his fault."
"KYP!?"
The lad ducked down beneath the x-wing with the pack
over his shoulder, "Yeah?"
"Siee tells me that whatever's going on here is your
fault."
Kyp... to his credit... looked confused, "Huh? What's
my fault?"
"I thought so," he turned back to Siee. "Well?"
She smiled. "Promise
not to tell Wes?"
"What am I promising?"
"Not to tell Wes why
we're here. Him or Corran - cause if Corran knew, he'd kill us and then
tell Wes why."
"Oh, well if THAT's the case... sure, I'll promise."
"Promise what, Dad?" Mirax wandered into the hangarbay.
Siee shut her mouth from
what she was about to say and twisted around. "Hey Mirax." Oh
sith.
"They haven't told me yet."
"Well, then why did you promise?"
Siee slowly walked backwards
towards Kyp.
Kyp put an arm protectively around her.
"Cause, whatever it is, will make Corran upset," he
grinned.
Mirax just sighed. Mirax then saw the two, and a smile
blossomed as she realised just WHAT was going on. She clapped her hands
and grinned.. "A wedding!"
"I didn't know Mirax
was a Jedi...."
"She's.... Not."
Booster looked between the young couple, "This true?"
Kyp nodded.
Siee blushed. "We wanted
to know if you could help."
He grinned, "I'd love to!" He went over behind the
two and clapped them both on the shoulders. "You two've just made my day!"
Kyp grinned than, "Thanks Booster."
Mirax went over and pulled Siee away from the boys,
"Come on, I'll help you get ready."
Siee cried out as Mirax
grabbed her and dragged her away. "What do you mean, ready?!" her
voice drifted through the hanger.
Kyp
looked obviously confused.
"So, you're going to
take the Janson girl for your wife, huh? Got good insurance I hope." Booster
joked.
Kyp just shrugged. "By the time he finds out he won't
have anything to say against it."
"Nothing to say, just
watch out for that blaster. Both them Jansons... handfuls they are. Wedge
never stopped complaining about them." Booster chuckled and put his arm
around Kyp. "So, you have a ring yet?"
"Ring?"
Booster raised an eyebrow.
"You do know you're supposed to give a ring to the bride, a symbol of
the intention. What did you use when you asked her?"
"Uhm..." he looked down. "Nothing?" He toed the deck, "It kinda just happened."
"Well, we need to get
the girl a proper ring." He reached into his pocket and pulled out a card.
"Use this, tell the staff that I said
it's ok. Get a set of wedding bands as well as something nice for an engagement
ring for her"
"You sure?" he took the card. "Thanks Booster."
He looked at the card and
an idea came suddenly to him. "Booster?" he looked up.
"Yeah kid?"
"You don't suppose I could find a Jewel for her too?
I promise I'll find a way to pay you back."
Booster waved his hand.
"No need to pay me back. Consider it a wedding gift."
He grinned, then hugged Booster impulsively, "THANKS!"
Booster ruffled Kyp's
hair. "You make me glad today, Kyp. I didn't get to plan my own daughter's
wedding, so I'm happy to help you with yours."
Kyp stepped back, "I'm glad. Thanks again!" Kyp flashed
a smile and darted out of the docking bay to find the shops.

"Let me go Mirax!' Siee
shouted, trying to wring her wrist free.
She let go and stopped turning to her, "Come on, It'll
probably take the rest of the night to get you ready, every second counts,
unless you want to wait a few days," Mirax's eyes twinkled.
"But what? Why?! We
just need to say a few words, that's all!"
"No no NO! You're making the decision of a lifetime.
You've gotta have a dress, get your hair and nails done," she seemingly
counted off her fingers. "And a trusseau! Can't forget the trusseau."
"What the sith is a trusseau?!"
"Sexy underwear," Mirax winked. "But it sounds nicer
that way."
Siee blinked. "They
make those?" she whispered.
Mirax put an arm around her shoulder leading her along,
"Boy, have I got my work cut out for me," she shook her head ruefully.
