Terrahawks- The Healing Properties of Hot Tea
This story is set shortly after the episode Space Samurai. It's a Ninestein/Mary fic- and it gives a glimpse into Mary's past.
"I can't believe I let my guard down." Ninestein lamented.
"Still upset over the peace conference, Tiger?" Mary Falconer asked.
Mary put a tea tray on the table.
"Why shouldn't I be? Why was I so stupid? I knew Zelda would have at least tried to kill me." Ninestein replied.
"Tiger, you're only human." Mary said soothingly.
"So?" Ninestein asked.
"I can see you're very much bent out of shape over what happened with that Tamura." Mary replied.
"I know." Ninestein answered.
"Whenever I was all bent out of shape, Mum fixed some hot tea." Mary said to Ninestein.
"That explains the tea tray." Ninestein told Mary.
"Yes, Tiger." Mary replied.
Mary began to pour the tea, and Ninestein made himself somewhat comfortable. An old song played over the intercom:
"I don't want to set the world on fire. I just want to start a flame in your heart..."
Terrahawks is property of Southern Star. I have no idea of who owns the rights to the Ink Spots- but "I Don't Want to Set the World on Fire" just seemed appropriate for the fic!
