A/N: I was watching "Imperfection" again yesterday and it bothered me that Naomi didn't get to say good bye to the children. I decided to amend that. Then the other ideas wouldn't leave me alone and so I ended up with this collection of three extra scenes for the episode. Hope you enjoy! :)

Disclaimer: I own nothing.

The Human Way

"Are you certain that I am doing this correctly?"

Naomi nodded, "Perfectly certain."

Mezoti eyed the braid she was in the middle of creating in Naomi's hair critically. "It does not look like the pictures we found on the database."

Naomi rolled her eyes, "It's your first time, you don't have to do everything perfectly the first time you do something."

Mezoti still looked uncertain but said nothing as she continued to braid Naomi's hair, nearby Rebi and Azan were playing a game of kadis-kot. They all looked up as Icheb entered the Cargo Bay.

He paused for a moment to take in the scene before him.

"It is time for you to report to the transporter room," he intoned gravely.

The twins nodded and, silent as always, stood up in unison and began to pack away the kadis-kot board.

Mezoti looked regretfully between Icheb and the unfinished braid, "Five more minutes?" she suggested hopefully.

Icheb shook his head, hating that he had to break up the scene before him, "The Captain and Seven were quite specific about the time."

Reluctantly Mezoti tied a hair elastic at the base of the braid, "I'm afraid I won't be able to finish it," she said finally, she glanced at Icheb, "perhaps Icheb can finish it when I'm gone," she suggested.

Both girls giggled and Icheb resisted the urge to roll his eyes, unaware that he was turning slightly pink, "It is time to go," he reminded Mezoti firmly.

Both girls got to their feet and stood facing each other, "Norcadians do not say good bye," Mezoti said finally.

"I'm not sure how Ktarians say good bye, but Humans often hug," Naomi replied.

Looking a little uncertain Naomi stepped forward and hugged Mezoti. Mezoti stood awkwardly for a few moments before she returned the hug.

"I think I prefer the Human way," Mezoti said as they broke apart.

Rebi and Azan came forward and silently enveloped Naomi in a group hug, she gave the group a sad smile as they broke apart. "I'll miss you," she told them.

"We'll miss you too," Mezoti told her, before they left the Cargo Bay.

Naomi wiped away a stray tear as the doors closed behind them.
