Thanks for the reviews people, hope you enjoy the chapter, and I've nearly finished Seeing Double then I will either do my original story that will have the umbrella corp breifly mentioned so it goes under Resident Evil fanfics (this is just so I can post it) or I will do a emohawk follow on from either the Emohawk episode or from Kidnapped (I may do both - the idea's are only loosly related, but vote whether I do Kira & Cat Emohawk or TV series Emohawk, or even if I do the "Resident Evil" one next, do this in your reviews people please)
Anyway thanks again Sunrise Wildfire and especially Boogle... read on.
Rescue
Lister awoke at the sound of weapons fire – as did Dani who began to cry softly, she felt so cold Lister thought as he rocked her gently, he stood up slowly but excitedly as he heard scuffling at the door, but was sorely disappointed when it was just his "Wife" who appeared in the doorway.
"I knew I should have allowed daddy to destroy your precious Starbug!" She started, stamping her foot in anger, I just wanted to be kind to you by letting them live, but no they find some way around their damage which was quite severe and they are here to steal my family!" She continued to rant, Lister meanwhile felt his claustrophobia and fear ebb away as annoyance overcame him. He continued to rock the worryingly subdued Dani, and rolled his eyes.
"You nicked Cat's family you furry git, you thought he was just going to stand by and watch as you steal then effectively kill his kitten? What station are you on – Loony FM?" Lister scoffed as he edged his was towards the open doorway – hoping the GELF would move far enough inside the room for him to sneak past. However her next words stopped Lister dead in his shuffling.
"I'll make up for it now, your friends will be killed the second they are caught, and the satisfaction far outweighs the tiff it will cause between us.
"TIFF! Now hang on a second you can't just go killing people when you feel like it – remember that people shopping discussion we had earlier? It's like that only with returning goods. Sheesh, can't we calk about this over a peace treaty and a curry?" Lister asked hopefully stifling a cry of disgust as he came close enough to be in range of the GELF's bad breath, he felt sorry for Dani who was now bawling for her parents as loud as she could – which wasn't that loud now.
"No we can't, they are disrupting my life and we and never be a family while they are alive – you would always try to escape me instead of accepting me." The GELF insisted thinking how annoying this creature was – she'd been named "Swamp Beauty Of The Year" 3 years running in her village, yet here was a being who seemed repulsed by her – by GELF standards his looks weren't much above average but was she making a fuss? No.
"Women and their smegging biological clocks." Lister muttered as the sound of someone else coming down the corridor reached the doorway, and Kryten and Cat burst in looking out of breath, Cat took one look at the GELF and aimed both the bazookoids at her as Kryten initiated the manual override on the door lock.
"Great timing guys." Lister said, as he swapped Dani for a bazookiod. The GELF tried to move closer as if to take Dani but stopped as Cat took an offensive stance.
"Keep away you kitten napping pile of smeg, you nearly killed Dani and you're not touching any of us again. Not to mention I'll probably have to de-flea her now." Cat warned as he waved the bazookoid in the GELF's face.
"Well I say that – I DON'T HAVE FLEAS YOU PATHETIC FELINE MONSTROSITY!" She yelled Cat jumped back in surprise – not that he knew what the words meant. He looked briefly at Kryten.
"She said she didn't have fleas sir." Kryten translated as he started to key in the homing mechanism.
"What she say then?" Cat asked again as the GELF continued. Cat wished she would just shut up so he could shoot her – maybe he should just tear the voice box from her ugly throat he wondered – would serve her right.
"That you wouldn't dare shoot her." Lister supplied, breaking Cat's thoughts. Cat smiled at the translation.
"She wanna bet? – Hey how'd you know that? You ain't going GELF on me are you bud?"
"No, she put something in my head." Lister explained briefly, as Cat softly rocked Dani.
"How's she doing?" Lister asked, not taking his eyes of the GELF in case she tried something.
"Body temperature's rising, she's going to be fine as soon as we get back to Kira."
"Sirs I suggest we leave now sirs, the GELF's could override the override at any time." Kryten insisted, a hint of panic in his voice.
"Cat." Lister encouraged, as Cat was still staring at the GELF thinking of many ways to torture her – and the rest of her suit tearing, kitten-napping bunch of flea ridden crew.. "Time to go home – to Kira… and Rimmer." Lister sighed as he and Cat took hold of other sides of the teleporter.
Cat felt the room dissolve around him, the last thing he saw being the angry face of the GELF mouthing something at him. Then he was back on Red Dwarf, he was about to run to the cockpit where he could sense Kira, but then turned and asked Kryten who the GELF had said, the answer made him shudder; "We'll find you."
Cat then shouted Kira's name and bounded into the cockpit, triumphantly holding up Dani who he then gave to a joyous Kira who took her daughter and cuddled her deeply before enveloping both Dani and Cat in a family reunion hug.
Rimmer rolled his eyes half heartedly as he continued with some console repairs.
"Are we out of range or at least the sector?" Lister asked as he stumbled into the cockpit, and collapsed into his chair.
Kira parted from Cat, still holding Dani, As she didn't want to embarrass or frustrate any of the other dwarfers she knelt down into the pampers bag, and after rooting in a side pocket brought out a bottle of milk which she then proceeded to feed to her hungry kitten. She answered Lister's query as she did so. "We're only on half power but somehow we're about a day an a half ahead of the GELF's and I've managed to get the invisibility shields working that we can use for a short bit of time if we need to."
"We better continue with these repairs as quickly as we can to bring us up to full power and get out of here – I don't fancy an angry re-run with the in-laws." Lister retorted as a joke though it was in fact deadly serious.
"I'm picking something up – Its Red Dwarf's vapour trail!" Rimmer cried excitedly, the revelation starting a series of smiles and cheers.
"Plotting a course."
"Brutal!" Lister shouted, grabbing a disgruntled Cat in a half hug, half headlock, similar to when he first met his friend and asked Holly to set a course for Fiji. "We're going home guys!"
It's cold outside, there's no kind of atmosphere,
I'm all alone, more or less,
Let me fly far away from here,
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun.
I want to lie shipwrecked and comatose,
Drinking fresh mango juice,
Goldfish shoals nibbling at my toes,
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun,
Fun, fun, fun in the sun, sun, sun,
