...Trip to Risa!

...sorry, i just couldn't resist that..

OK, BB, are you being the pilot once more to get us there in more-or-less one piece..?

...and is everyone onboard yet?!

come on..come on...it's all booked, etc, etc...can't be late..

And boy, do /I/ need a vacay!

I hope I'm not too late?

Looks like I'm piloting us all there.

Hope Risa is more relaxing than that DisneyPlanet (TM).

I hope so too...but i suppose, there're no rides...so no ques for people to get wound up in...so people are a *lot* less agitated & therefore it shouldn't be anything like the Disney Planet..

...and nope, Alien, you're not too late..we're still waiting for the rest of the crew really..

They're probably having trouble packing...the poor things..

I'd head there on my own on my XJ-class X-wing, but I'm using it in another forum...

I'm sure it wouldn't be half as fun travelling on your own though..

Perhaps I should go round up everyone else...?

Fine.

[takes out a boom box and it starts playing. The song is "I need a vacation"-related]

...

Oh, this? It's music from Pokémon: The First Movie.

Right...I've sent out messages to about as many of the crew as I can be bothered to at the moment.....the rest'll have to turn up by themselves until I can get round the rest...

Wow...I'd never realised there were so many crewmembers before..

How many are there?

*Checkout leaps aboard whatever is going to take us to Risa, wearing a Haiwaian shirt and bermuda shorts armed with a bottle of Mazola cooking oil to get the tan he's always wanted*
"Hi Ho! Hi Ho! It's of to Risa we go! With a shovel and pick and a nervous tick!"

Not including anyone who's already in this forum, I made 10 posts to user pages...and that wasn't everyone...possibly another 5 or 6 on top of that....

Ahha!

Sylmpost me will you Mrgrunt...

Well...at least that's one more person coming...

Of course i'll symlpost you... I'm that kinda guy...
*Starts sloshing the cooking oil over himself*
Anyone want some?

...erm...not yet...wait until we get there...

wouldn't exactly help me anyway..

[Cut to a YT-1300 Corellian freighter (illegally modified), the Milennium Bug. Cut to the lounge, where we find YK along with his clone YC, 10-year-old Link from "Legends of Zelda: Ocarina of Time", a Whiphid, three red-shirted extras, and Peeves the poltergeist from the Harry Potter books]

[YK] Er, I'm ready!

[YC] Are you sure?

[Link] He'd better be, someday!

[Whiphid] The future is never what it's like when you're ten.

[Link] I AM ten!

[Red-shirted extra 1] I wouldn't say that kind of thing to Link, who's been through time more times ... er ... GAAA!

[Peeves has just dropped a water balloon on RSE1's head]

[Peeves] He-he-he-he-heee!

[YK] No, look, I am ready. YC, let's take off!

[Exterior: The Millenium Bug takes off and follows the ... er ... whatever the ship is that's taking them to Risa]

*DD gets wheeled straight to sickbay*

*Joanna debates whether to remain a moody b**** at the loss of her crew, or to try to relax & enjoy herself*

[Closeup of Red-Suited Extra 2]

[RSE2] Relax and enjoy yourself, Jo. In fact, come on and join us in a game of Sabacc!

[Pull out to reveal that he is at the gaming table with the other two Red-Suited Extras and the Whiphid.]

*Beams aboard with a large suitcase, a replicator schematic for a Kiss Me Qwik hat, and a computer disk that he found in the lost property office before leaving, labelled "Backup copy of Croz's memories".

Sorry about this but I've got to be this.




Are we nearly there yet?
