Summory: The crew has a Birthday Party for Trance.
"Boss, what you got?" Seamus Harper asked Beka Valentine as she came back aboard the Maru with a moving box. "Boss?"
"It's a present for Trance's birthday," Beka answered, as she looked up at Harper. "You can not tell a single soul about this. I got the okay from Dylan and Rommie."
"Okay, what is it?" Beka set the box down and gave him a look.
"It's a dog."
"A dog?" Harper peered inside the box to see a mechanical yellow haired dog. "Ah, a mechanical dog. She's not going to like it."
"Harper!"
"I was just joking, Beka. I'm sure that she'll enjoy it. She's always one of living things."
"Well I thought that since real dogs aren't alive anymore, that this one would work."
"Okay, does it got a name?"
"Yeah, is Buddy."
"Buddy? What kind of name is Buddy?"
"Okay, I couldn't think of a name for it, so I stole the guy's kids name. What's wrong with Buddy?"
"Buddy it is." Beka set the box down and the dog slowly stepped out of it. "What kind of dog was is supposed to look like?"
"Golden Retriever." Buddy shook his golden hair out and waged its tail. "Buddy doesn't need to be feed. It doesn't go. It's the perfect pet. I could have gotten her a cat or lizard, but it caught my attention."
"I think that Trance will like it, Boss."
"Good, because you're going to have to teach it some tricks before we get there. It has to know Trance's face and life signs for it to be able to recognize her as its owner."
"I'm on it. You get us back to the Andromeda and I'll get him ready for her."
"Sounds like a plan, Harper." Beka then headed for the cockpit. "Andromeda, this is Beka."
"Beka, how nice of you to call us," Dylan's voice called out through the comlink. "Did you get it?"
"Yes, I did," Beka said, as she started up the Maru. "And it's beautiful."
"We'll see you when you get here. Dylan out."
