That's right folks, it's now time to see how exactly Ten Years on the the Love BoatGood Ship LollipopGilligan's Island Stacy has gone by for your characters.
Ronnae laughed, "Still the same Ben I see." she said in an amused tone.
"Well, when they have everything, just bring them some of the more simple things that you know made or make her happy. No matter how small, something from a good memory means more than any other treasure." Giving him a knowing wink she smiled, she'd been in his position before when it came to giving gifts.
"I guess so. She's always so temperamental lately, but I think that's just Gwen for you. She doesn't like it when I go show-boating on my own," admitted Ben. "Still, she's family. You can't get much more worried than that."
"Agree with you there for sure. And of course she worries, you're not invincible as much as you'd like to think yourself to be." She grins sticking her small tongue out playfully.
"Maybe you should take her next mission yeah? Would do her good anyways, too much time closed up in this place will drive ya up the wall." She joked with a small laugh.
"Then there you go." she crossed her arms as if nothing else needed to be said. "One of these days you'll find yourself with a boot up your rear if you keep her from accompanying you. I'm not sure what's been holding her back all this time." Ronnae laughed a bit.
"Well hey, when Gwen does something we'll know it. She's just about the strongest Anodyte I've ever met in my life. And she keeps up with her spells too," admitted Ben. "I think she's just enjoying life right now."
"Ah well, if she's happy where she's at, then it's all good right?" She smiled. "It's nice having ya back, even if you'd claim that you'll never fall on a mission."
"When have I?" replied Ben with a grin. "And yeah, well, it's Gwen. She always was more of an academic than I am. I'm laaaaazy dontchaknow."
"Oh by the way," said Ben, pulling out a holo-letter. "It's from Kosi. I made a swing by the last world on the way back and asked him to record well wishes for you. I can do this a few more times before we get completely out of range and it takes more than a day to get back to Stacy."
Ronnae looked down at the holo-letter for a few moments before looking up at Ben, her eyes glossy and a small smile on her lips. "You... you didn't have to..." she spoke in a small voice before holding the letter gently.
For a few moments she did nothing but stare at it, and then she was on Ben, giving him a tight embrace. "T-thank you..."
Ben hugged her back, grinning. "Hey the least I can do. Kosi's a good friend too, so I had to get involved. Besides, it'll just lengthen my mission time to what, a week instead of a couple of days? It's not like my kid'll get into trouble. Or, more than usual knowing his lip."
Ronnae smiled up at him and nodded. "If he's anything like you were back in the day, I'm sure he'll be clever enough to avoid getting into trouble while causing it." she mused with a small giggle.
"Yeah that's probably the case. Helps that he got the famous Levin Snark down pat now. I can't go a day without him thinking I'm a complete dweeb," laughed Ben.
