"Hmm he might just ditch me for calibrations again," she said aloud.
Shepard rolled her legs backwards tumbling to her knees then finally standing up. Shepard went to the elevator and descided to go to the CIC and find somthing to do. Elevators weren't the most exciting things in life, but this one wasn't as bad as the one on the old normandy, she remebers counting the tiles in the side of the wall. There were 96 tiles on either wall. The doors opened and she started towards joker when she suddenly herd Kelly's voice.
"Trying somthing new on today Commander?"
"Chambers?"
"Unless of course your'e comfortable with everyone walking around in their underwear, I would have started Weeks ago."
Shepard looked down, she had forgotten she was only in her pajamas, a small tanktop and grey matching underwear. She rushed back to the elevator and hit the button but it seemed someone else had called it, so she stood there awkwardly trying to pull her shirt down far enough to cover her underwear but not so far as to where her chest was popping out. Chambers was giggling and some of the other crew was staring. Finally the elevator opened and shepard jumped inside hitting the button for her quarters as quick as humanly possible. She sighed and ran her hand over her face sinking to the floor with a thud.
"Uh, commander?" Rang a voice.
Shepard relucantly looked up, she knew the voice, the rumbling lower tones and slightly higher tones were very distinct on the ship. Garrus stood there in the middle of the elevator staring at her. She groaned and rolled over face down on the floor of the elevator not caring about descency anymore.
"Hello Garrus," she mummbled to the ground.
"Missing something Shepard?"
"What gave me away?"
"Well I would have to say the tattoo, when did you get this?" He poked her right beneath her butt cheek. Yelping she turned and smacked his hand away.
"A long time ago." She stood up as the door to the elevator opened and started walking out, Garrus followed.
"What is it?"
Shepard blushed and pulled her underwear down abit more to cover it while opening the door to her quarters.
"I'm surprised you don't remember."
Garrus looked at her and tilted his head to the side.
"Heh, i'm surprised i still have it since it's from before i died on the old normandy. Guess Cerberus redid it or something."
Shepard walked towards where her pants were held and took out a pair slipping them on quickly.
"Well maybe you should refresh my memory."
"Remeber when we used to have those small parties down next to the mako playing cards, just me, you, wrex, Tali, Alenko and Ash?"
"Yeah i remeber... well most of them the one's where i wasn't drunk. Heh, like that time you tried to outdrink Wrex."
"Yes, please remind me to never try that again. But anyways it was during one of those nights. Alenko had drank to much and descided to challenge you to a arm wrestling constest, which to be honest you were more drunk than he was. Hell you were both to drunk to make up the stakes so Wrex said 'the winner gets his face tattooed on Shepards ass the looser has to kiss it."
Garrus bursted out laughing,"Oh spirits let me see who won before this goes any further." He had started to reach for Shepards pants but she smacks his hands away.
"Not the best way to get into my pants ass hole. Now as I was saying, I was little tipsy which is why I agreed to the terms but i'm happy to at least remeber how I got it. So we set everything up for you guys, we had to tie your hands together because you kept slipping backwards. But hell as soon as Wrex said go Alenko's hand was down in a flash. It went on to best 2 out of 3, then 5 out of 6, 7 out of 8, and so on i think you were up to best 32 out of 33 before Wrex finally stopped you two. Did you know Wrex knew how to do tattoos? I sure didn't but there i was underwear pulled down,bent over mooning everyone while getting a tattoo of your face on my ass. It looks really good to be honest. Alenko kissed it and everything. Hah, good times."
Garruss' hands were on his knees and he was laughing so hard Shepard thought he might die. Eventually he walked over to Shepard and said "Now you have to show me."
"In your dreams Vakarian."
"Aww cmon please commander?"
"Nope."
Garrus did the turian equvalent of a puppy face at Shepard and stepped closer to her. They were now face to face and Shepard could smell him, he smelt like, Garrus, she couldn't describe it. Letting out a long sigh Shepard turned around and stepped forward getting abit away from Garrus. She Pulled down her pants and underwear just far enough to show the tattoo. And there he was in all his glory eye piece and everything. It was just his face but it was pretty damn good considering Wrex did it rather quickly. She looked at Garrus for a responce but he just seemed to be standing there studying it.
"I know i'm not as pretty as Jack but hey i try."
"My mandibles aren't that big are they?"
"I think that's just my fat ass, your mandables are beautiful." She pulled her pants and panties back up and walked over to her private terminal.
"It's not fat just admireable. Any other tattoo's I should know about?"
Shepard smirked, "None i can show off easily."
Garrus walked up behind her and rested his hand on her shoulder. He was warm and Shepard shifted a little in her chair looking up at him.
"There was another reason i was comming to see you."
Shepard felt herself tense abit, they had already delt with Sidonis what else could he need?
"Whatcha need?"
"Well I believe many of the other crew would agree but, don't we deserve a break before going to the relay? Some shore leave should help ease some tension on the ship. And we could have one of our little drinking parties, just you, me, and Tali almost like old times."
"Garrus I think you just solved my boredom problem. Come on let's go bug JoDi."
"JoDi?"
"Joker and Edi i thought it sounded cool at least."
"Right commander... right behind you."
Shepard went to getinto the elevator but paused looking down to make sure she was clothed this time. She herd Garrus snicker behind her but she just stepped into the elevator and hit the button to the CIC. This time the ride wasn't awkward and consisting of Shepard laying down on the ground in her underwear. And when the door opened she didn't see Chambers at her usual spot. Curious she looked around, and then she saw them, all the crew came running from the cockpit all at once. She looked back at Garrus who looked equally as confused. Cautiously Shepard stepped out and started walking towards the cockpit. They arrived and found Joker and Chambers casually talking, Kelly sittin on one of Jokers arm rests.
"Nice to see you found your pants commander, though i was wishing we could all starting running around in our pajama's."
"Yeah me too" came Jokers happy reply followed by a small smack from Kelly.
"Enough with the crap Joker why was half the crew up here away from their posts?"
"Well you see commander there was a new episode of this really good show on, it's about a Hanar spectre, it was rescently a movie now a extranet series..."
"Truthfully commander we were spying in on yours and Garruss' conversation, after i saw him in the elevator i assumed... well let's just say i assumed wrong." Kelly winked at Garrus and stood up from Jokers arm rest.
"Sorry to disapoint miss Chambers." Garrus shifted and did his pose with his arms crossed.
Shepard looked at Kelly then back to Joker who had seemed to shrink into his chair.
"Joker plot a course for the Citadel." And Shepard walked away sighing and rubbing her head. Kelly almost ran back to her post and Garrus turned heading for the elevator.
"And where do you think your going ?"
"Hell Shepard am i ever going to live that down?"
"No now go start telling the crew were going to Dark Star for 3 days shore leave.
Garrus saluted Shepard a big turian grin on his face. "Aye aye captain." And he turned and left stopping by Kelly to tell her of the news before stepping in the elevator.
"This is going to be interesting" Shepard said to herself.
