********At last, we're here!********

Harper was the first off the Maru and bounced very quickly out of the air-lock and didn't stop until everyone had told him to shut up at least twice.

"Oh, please… shut up…" Dylan was starting to get frustrated. "I've always wanted to say that but I don't get the opportunity as a High Guard captain," he added.

"Okay, OK! I know I'm hyper but… WOW! I can't believe I'm here… Dylan let me bring the crew to a pleasure planet," Harper continued bouncing despite being told to stop.

"Pleasure Planet!" they chorused.

"Uh… I ment… er… a nice little planet with… er… nice places to go…" he had stopped bouncing and had gone rather red.

"Oh, really?" Beka asked sarcastically.

Trance and Rommie were tutting and Tyr and Dylan just looked at each other.

"Ok everyone," Dylan decided to speak up, "we go to the hotel, check in, go to uor rooms and unpack? We can then go out later to celebrate?"

No answer.

"Okay?"

"Er, yeah."

"Whateva."

And various versions of the above were his answer.

**************************************************************************************

After checking in they went up to their rooms. They were top floor rooms with balconies.

Tyr was trying to get Beka to join him on the balcony but she stubbornly refused stating it was too cold outside and she wanted to get unpacked, and I'm afraid of heights, she added to herself. She couldn't tell Tyr that or he'd chuck her out the room for being scared.

Harper was bouncing on the bed while Trance was trying to unpack both there bags and get Harper to get off the bed at the same time, without much success.

Dylan and Rommie were unpacking silently in their room. Dylan decided to speak up, "are you sure you are ok with this?"

"It doesn't really matter, I don't need to sleep, if I want to lye down I can use the sofa-bed."

"Okay then if your sure."

**************************************************************************************

They met up later that night in the reception dressed to go out. Even Harper had found something other that jeans and a shirt to wear.

After what seemed like hours of argueing about where they would eat they finally decided on a place that would hopefully meet all their tastes, except Rommie who did not eat anyway and was not particularly bothered.

"Sorry to drag you out like this Rommie, I know it's a bit unfair."

"I don't mind, really Dylan."

"Hey I got an idea!" Harper nearly fell out of his seat, not suprising considering that, without Dylans permission was VERY drunk. But who cares about permission, Harper thought. "Since she had to come out with us tonight she gets to choose what we do tomorrow - and tonight - with me perhaps…" That got him a slap from Rommie and a glare form everyone else. This time he *did* fall off his chair.

"Okay I think its about time we headed back to our rooms." Dylan managed to state the ovious as he tried to pull Harper off the floor.

"Please Dylan, can we stay… please…" Harper managed to slur.

"No," he stated flatly.

"Pleeeeeeeaase…"

Dylan looked at him sharply.

"Ok ok we go, suit yourself, your missing out you know…" He continued to ramble on like this for a while.

They walked, or staggered in Herpers case, back to the hotel. Beka and Rommie were talking about something while Dylan and Tyr attempted to assist Harper. Trance was well…

"Um hi," she walked over to join Beka and Rommie, "what are you two talking about?"

"Harper" Beka Replied.

"Oh" Trance said as she looked back at Tyr and Dylan struggling to get Harper, who was singing a *VERY* rude drinking song, to co-operate with them and shut up so they could concerntrate on walking. She giggled a bit.

"He can be a right idiot sometimes," Beka said picking up on what Trance was laughing at.

"And will *really* regret it in the morning…" Rommie said finishing Bekas sentence.

"Uh huh, and knowing Harper he will blame *US* for letting him get drunk."

"I think he's kinda sweet…"

"TRANCE!" They tried to glare at her but ended up giggling too.

They had to walk along a section of the beach to reach the hotel. All, except Harper who they all believed was *trying* to be a pain, walked in silence. As they reached the gates to the hotel Harper suddenly broke away from Dylan cathing them completely by surprise. They stopped to see where Harper had gone. Looking along the beach they saw a woman standing on the shoreline looking out to sea. A few metres away they could seee Harper crawling across the sand. When he reached her he tried to get her attention but she ignored him. (A/N what a sensible woman she is…) She seemed completely unaware of his presence. Dylan, Tyr and Rommie approached them leaving Beka and Trance wispering at the gate. As they got near the woman looked around almost as though she sensed their presence. She then looked down at Harper.

"Sorry about him, I think he had a little too much to drink." Dylan reached down picking Harper up off the ground and handing him to Tyr.

"Its no problem, theres lots of drunk men around here. Where are you staying?"

"Over there," Dylan pointed to the hotel where Beka and Trance were waiting.

"Me too, by the way I'm Gillian Pace."

"Dylan Hunt" he offered his hand and she shook it.

"And they are?"

"Tyr Anasazi…"

"Out of Victoria by Barberossa…" Rommie added earning herself a glare from Tyr.

"And this is Andromeda" he pointed to Rommie who looked at the floor then back at them.

"Rommie actually" she stated.

"Whatever ship"

"Excuse them, I'll introduce you to the others when we get back."

Gillian took Dylan's hand and pulled him away from the others.

"Ship, whats he doing?"

"What he normally does"

"What do you mean?"

"Okay, let me give you a brief history of Dylans diplomatic procedure."

"I don't get it ship…"

"Dylan's *First Contact Success* goes like this;

1)Meet the local high ranking female,

2)Sleep with her,

3)Let himself get pulled into her seacret agenda,

4)Pray that we can get him out of whatever he's gotton himself into,

5)Let us save him,

6)Live happily ever after."

"So our Captain is going to sleep with this woman?"

"That would be my guess."

Dylan and Gillian met up with the others when they reached the gate.

"This is Beka Valentine and Trance Gemini," Dylan introduced them to her, "and this is Gillian Pace"

"Hi"

"Hello," Beka had that knowing smile on her face.

"Nice to meet you. One question if I may?"

"Of course."

"Who was the man crawling up my leg?"

Trance and Beka who had not been there at the time burst into hysterical laughter.

"That was Seamus Harper and I'd like to assure you that he's normally much better behaved."

"Really? I hadn't noticed…" Beka started laughing again.

They walked and talked till they reached their rooms and went their separate ways. Tyr waited for the others to leave then approached Dylan.

"Mr Anasazi, what can I do for you?"

"Are you going to sleep with her?"

"What! Who? Rommie?"

"No, are you going to sleep with Gillian?"

"What? Why?"

"I was talking to Rommie and she said…"
