Soren climbed back into the bed and pat the area beside him for the girl to crawl in too. "It's okay, we can cuddle. I don't bite." He paused, "Unless of course you like that sort of thing."
---
"Farin's totally against marriage for some reason." Titania shrugged. "I'm sure one day he'll outwardly appreciate her, but for now, I think she kind of gets it. You know? Like they have this weird connection that we just don't see?" She took another sip before she looked back up at the other girl, "So...what now?"

That hadn't exactly been what he meant "Keep your hands off my sister." Rockwell warned walking to get his planer.
Cella, not worrying, knowing she would never betray Farin. Set her pillow down at the side of the green man, and laid down to hear the story. "Can you find another fairy tale to read?"
Rockwell sat down on the edge of the bed and scanned through his planner trying to find a story suitable for his sister. "Ok let me see." He searched a few more minutes and finally picked one out. "Alright everyone all comfy cosey? Good."
~ ~ ~ ~
"I guess." Cephnem nodded then got up streatching. "Well I think I am going to bed. Have a nice night Titania."

Rolling his eyes, Soren lowered himself into the bed a bit more before he called over to Rockwell, "Read a princess story. I like princess stories."
---
Titania just grunted and let the girl leave. She finished her tea then sighed as she pondered what to do next. Well, she'd better check out the bridge for problems, or threats, or, you know, something to do. She stood and put the cup into the automatic dishwasher, then took it out a moment later, squeaky clean. She put the cup away and stretched a bit. "Yeah, sitting on the bridge with a good movie was probably a good idea.

((I'm just gonna go ahead and say we move on to the next day))
Rockwell jerked awake, groaning softly he sat up, and looked about. He was half way off his bed, Soren and Cella taking up most of the room on it. Sliding off he moved with as little sounds as possible to the bathroom. He changed behind closed doors and walked back out. His sister was snuggled as close to the green man as she could be. Rolling his eyes Rockwell decided it'd be best to let the two sleep in some.
Heading to the bridge Rockwell found Cephnem sitting in a chair watching the stars float by. "Good morning Ceph."
"Oh! Hey Rocky. Good morning. How are you?" She asked sitting up and turning around to face him.
"Pretty good, where is everyone?" He asked looking around the ship was quite, unusually quite.

Just as the question was asked, Titania rounded the corner with a laugh. "Well, Farin and Sebastian were up drinking all night so now they're both in their respective bathrooms, under the impression that I don't have something to cure a hangover. I certainly do, but if I give it to them, they won't learn anything." She shrugged a small shrug and moved on to find some breakfast. "I'm starving, you guys want anything?"
---
Soren had opened one eye to watch Rockwell climb out of bed and leave but he pretended to be asleep until the man was gone. As soon as the door closed behind him though, Soren sighed and stretched. This was taking longer than it usually did. Probably because of the girl hanging on to him.

"Oh you're terrible." Rockwell laughed shaking his head. "You have to know how much a hang over must suck."
"What!?" Cephnem laughed "How come I wasn't invited! I love to drink I can out drink just about anyone!"
"Well that's not very lady like."
"Shut it. Drinking is a pass time where I come from, but we normally don't get wasted. Though or drinks taste nothing like human alcohol. " Cephnem smiled "Titania, you'd like it."
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella was a light sleeper, and as soon as her sleeping partner moved she was wide awake. Yawning she sat up and rubbed her eyes. "Where's Rocky?" She asked running a hand through her hair to move it from her face, hitting tangles. Her hair was a mess and would likely take hours to brush out.

"Why does everyone assume I'm some skank alcoholic?" Titania placed a full breakfast plate down which had come out of a microwave-like machine which produced food instantly. "For your information, I've been hungover once and it was a long time ago. I don't remember it much because my sister was nice enough to hand over the cure nice and quick. I'm not so sweet."
---
"He left." Soren replied flatly. "Hey can I ask you something. Your brother... does he, you know... is he asexual? Like does he not get off to either?"

Cephnem giggled "I'm not assuming that, I was just saying you'd like the stuff cause it doesn't taste like human liquor. It's actually really sweet."
"Oh so it's a girly drink then." Rockwell said getting a cup of coffee and sitting down.
"Glade you think so. Because we'll have a girl's night, we don't need you boys."
~ ~ ~ ~
Cella stared at the green man for a long moment. "No he isn't. He has a crush on Ms. Chephnem. Or at least I think he still does. " She tilted her head back grabbing handfuls of hair and beginning to tie it up till she could get back to her own room and fix the mess.

Titania shrugged. "Probably wouldn't like it. I don't care for the after-effect of late-night alcoholism." She started into her breakfast just as Farin came through the door. "Hey there big guy, how ya doin'?"
Farin made an uninterpretable grunting noise and found himself water and some sort of fruit drink which he proceeded to mix together and drink hesitantly. Clearly what he was chugging didn't taste very good.
"Alright there, bro?" Titania snickered over a bite, "That doesn't look too good."
Farin finished off the drink and shook his head. "I'm fine." He put the remaining glass down on the counter. "Thanks."
---
"Poor guy. Unrequited love can be so...unsatisfying..." Soren smiled before he shrugged it off and climbed off of the bed.

Light years away, on a four-year-old Human Space colony, in a small house lived a small family. Part of that family was sitting on the roof at that time, looking up at the sky. Galileo was an android, quite a special one as well. Equipped with artificial nerve endings and a specialized set of both artificial intelligence and a set of his own nanobots under his command. For a moment he thought he heard someone calling for him, but he was currently tracking and storing information on constellations.

Cephnem shrugged, if no one wanted to drink, she'd have herself one and save the rest for a rainy day. "You look rough. I'm surprised Cella doesn't have you in bed resting."
Rockwell shook his head "Cella is still sleeping in, her and Soren took over my bed last night." He rolled his eyes and took another sip of coffee. "I don't envy you Farin. Cella is a major bed hog."
~ ~ ~ ~
"I think he's began to give up. Ms. Cephnem won't give him a second of her time." Cella said with a small sigh getting out of bed herself. Glacing at her brother's wall clock she noticed it was a bit late.
She should have had breakfast ready for Farin. "Oh! I'm late! Excuse me!" She said rushing out the room and to the kitchen to begin work, only to find Farin already there.
"I'm so sorry Master Farin!" She said bowing her head in an apology.
~ ~ ~ ~
A young women stepped out of the house, her eyes scanning their property, searching for the missing man. "Galileo!?" She called. Finally she looked up. "Galileo! Mom is worried, ya need to come down and assure her you're not laying in a ditch dead some where." Th young women sighed and climbed up the side to join him on the roof. "What are you even doing up here? It's late."

Farin blinked for a moment as if he couldn't focus on what was happening in front of him, as the others talked, as Cella ran in and bowed. His eyes crossed and uncrossed as he continued to attempt a focus before finally his eyes rolled up and he fell back onto the floor.
"What the hell?" Titania stood and looked over the counter at her brother. "Farin, what the hell?"
It was then that their older sister entered laughing. "I told him the hangover cure was in the fruit juice." She gave the crowd her best wicked smile and continued, "I lied!" Reaching down she grabbed her younger brother by the foot and began to drag him out of the kitchen. "Come on I need that retina for a scan."
"Nana. No espionage or brigade work on my ship."
"But IDA needs it. IDA needs it to help me file some crap. Just this once, please?"
"IDA doesn't need Farin's passwords to get into your files now does she?"
Nana shrugged. "Maybe."
---
"I have a reset button for that sort of thing." Galileo called back. Of course it was a joke. It would take a lot to kill him but if he did die, it might take months to rebuild everything. Unfortunately for him, as well, the family genius was away getting picked on at boot camp most likely, and if anything related to his programming went wrong, well, the android would have to fix it himself. This included, in fact, the fact that one of the ports on the back of his neck had been jammed for a while. It was deterring him from about half of his upgrades, but he was still functioning without them. As he suspected. "I'm stargazing. Is that a problem?" The android leapt from the roof and landed on both feet without so much as a stumble and shrugged, "Logging stars, you know, the kind of nerdy crap I used to have a buddy for."

"Please don't, Master Farin would be extremely upset if you did something that he didn't want while he was out." She followed every step the women took.
Rockwell chuckled. "Go ahead and do it. He's out like a light, he won't even remember."
"But he'll be angry as hell when he wakes up." Cephnem said taking a sip out of Rockwell's coffee and frowning.
~ ~ ~ ~
Calypso roll her eyes. "OK nerd boy. But seriously mom was worried. The young girl gave him a quick look over, as if making sure herself he was in fact, all right. "Why don't you play a game of Chess with me then? Since you like nerdy stuff so much. I could use a brain excersise."

"Of course he'll be angry, but he won't find out until she wants to blackmail him for something, isn't that right, Nana?" Titania had turned around on her barstool and was giving her sister a knowing glare.
"So?" Nana shrugged, "I'm only curious as to what kind of crap he's plotting. I'd never take him in, but how do I stop him if I don't know what he's up to in the first place?"
"Why do you always have to know what we're doing?" Titania sighed and swiveled back around to face her food.
"So I can keep you idiots out of trouble. Duh."
---
"You certainly could." The android scoffed. He threw an arm over the girl's shoulder and laughed, "You're no match for me, but I'll go easy on you. Scout's honor."

Cella liked the women less and less every minute. "Please don't." She said again feeling hopeless to stop Nana. "Master Farin doesn't do anything wrong." In her eyes, Farin never could.
"I'm sure he keeps you out of his nasty business Cella." Rockwell said getting up and gently pulling his sister away. Only to have the younger girl jerk away angry. "Cella you're being ridiculous."
~ ~ ~ ~
"I've beaten you before. Remember I am a strategist through and through." She said smiling up at him none the less. "But no worries, I think I will go easy on you this time. I don't want to damage your pride too much." Calypso watched at the house door slid open.
"Mom! Galileo and I are going to play some Chess. Don't panic if you don't see us." She called knowing her mom would if she didn't think to look for them in their bedrooms.
A women, who looked much like the one walking with the android but older and more matured. "Ok thanks for letting me know." She walked back to the kitchen, likely working on another one of her elaborate meals.

"Yeah, he's just saintly, ain't he, Titania?" Nana continued to drag her brother out of the room. She was walking backward and hunched over to pull him out with all of her might, "God someone needs a diet."
"Like a ********' angel." Titania replied before she shoved more food into her mouth.
Nana nodded and continued until she backed into something and had to stop. She glanced back and pushed back her hair to see who was in the doorway. "Hi honey! Wanna do me a solid."
"Sure. Anytime you like. Want me to pick up Farin for you too?"
Titania spit out the water she had been washing some of her breakfast down with and snickered before she turned to face her brother-in-law, "That's gross."
War was laughing as he lifted Farin and threw him over his shoulder. "His room?"
"No. Bridge. Walk."
---
"Yeah, you're a real Alexander the Great with all of your mighty mind." Galileo rolled his eyes. "Come on we all know you're the 'artistic one'. Remember? The smart one went to boot camp."
