Chapter 1: The Invitation
Dear Jessica Benton:
Since we're back at Starlight now (and the office-warming party was a flop), I figured we could make it up to you on the high seas.
What I'm trying to say is that I've got a yacht waiting down at Santa Monica, and I was planning to sail down to the Sea of Cortez for a few days for some saltwater fishing.
Interested? If so- see me.
Cordially:
P. Gabor
Jessica went over the letter.
"Rio, how's my schedule looking?" she asked.
"You're clear for the next three weeks, J!"
"In that case, I guess we could do with a vacation."
Jessica unclipped the Jemstar earrings and put them back in their leather box.
A FEW MINUTES LATER:
"A few days at sea with the Misfits? I'd sooner go on a vacation with the Decepticons." Aja muttered.
"Look, they're working for us now. We should at least try and bury the hatchet." Shana replied.
"Stole my thunder." Jessica teased.
"Need I remind you that-"
"Look, Shana's right. We need to just go and bury the hatchet with Pizzazz and the others. I mean, Kimber's already kind of done that."
Aja slumped back into her chair in defeat.
"Kimber, go tell Pizzazz that we'll gladly go with her." Jessica ordered.
THE NEXT DAY:
"Didn't know you were into sailing, boss." Pizzazz commented as Jessica and her entourage approached Gabor Mansion.
"It's not about the sailing. I just want to bury the hatchet- you know, ease out any remaining tensions from before Eric got sent to San Quentin, the old Holograms/Misfits rivalry, that sort of thing. Besides, I'd like to go sailing once where you didn't try and pull off a striptease."
"Never going to let me live that one down, are you? Didn't even get down to my skivvies."
Jessica smiled at the memory of the Countess du Voison's yacht party that the Misfits had crashed so long ago.
"Well, let's get going. The sea awaits!"
