Or Perhaps...

[Teresa Brooks]

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

"Are we there yet?"

"No."

Teresa, given no goal to attain and no adversary to fight, had quickly reverted to almost being a normal teenage girl, if not for being a 2,43 meter supersoldier with a nanorobotic system in her body influencing her hormones to absolute obedience to those she had an emotional bond with and an insatiable appetite for citrus-flavored carbonated sugar water,

Willow was no better, but at least she had the excuse of being the sandwich between the Teresa in the seat and the doctor in front with her entire front mushed against the cockpit canopy. It was fortunate that Teresa had engaged the autopilot.

"Okay, let's play I Spy. I spy something... red." "No fair, I can't see anything past you two. Hold on."

Teresa put her elbow back with such force that it broke a hole into the Jackdaw's cargo hold, and all three fell backwards into the hold.

"There, now I can breathe." "Me too."

Willow breathed a sigh of relief with her actual lungs to celebrate the occasion, then noticed exactly why Teresa had been so insistent that nobody touch her precious.

"Hey, that's my supply of carbonated citrus sugar water. You can't drink that."

"There are like twenty 200-liter drums of it! Didn't our dentist tell you to lay off that?"

"You can't tell me what to do, Mom. I go through that in a day!"

"Go to your room!"

The cargo hold fell silent, just long enough for Willow and Teresa to silently agree to close ranks.

"Are we there yet?"

"Aaaaaaaargh!"
