Dave wanted to tell the world that Alicia-May was alive and well!
"Rimmer, Cat" he called. They both came running
"What is it buddy?" Cat asked
"It's Alicia-May, she's come home, and she's going to be okay!"
"That's wonderful, mate" Arnold congratulated him "Chloë will be happier now"
"Yeah… Hold up, what's wrong with Chloë?" Dave asked, after all Dave thought of Chloë as his own
"Nothing" Arnold replied, "she's just been worried about her sister"
"Oh" Dave sighed
"I've heard all about it, she's been telling me everything there is to know about Alicia-May" Arnold laughed "she said something the other day that must have come from you, Lister"
"What's that?" Dave enquired
"She said 'she's a Lister, Lister's will fight,'" they all laughed
"That's cute" Dave told him "Chloë's really special, you're so lucky. I hope Alicia-May is as wonderful as Chloë!"
"Thanks" Arnold smiled "Chloë's got Kriss' warm heart, she's nothing like me, thank God, she's exactly like Kriss in every way, she's even got the same sense of humour as Kriss, she makes me laugh all the time!"
Dave smiled "we're really lucky to have them both in our lives! They are truly magnificent people!"
They all agreed
"Hey" Arnold said "we're going to the officer's club to celebrate Alicia-May, we're going tonight ant tomorrow night so both you and Kriss get a chance to come, you can choose between you who comes tonight and who comes tomorrow, we're just letting you know!"
"Thanks" Dave said, "I'll let Kriss know, she'll probably come tonight, but I'm not sure!"
"Well it's up to her mate" Arnold told him
"Yeah" he agreed, "well I better go and be with my fiancée and daughter!"
Dave was so happy he skipped back to Kriss and Alicia-May. Kryten had offered to look after Chloë, Llewey and Jim-Bexley for them so they could have their first proper day with Alicia-May alone.
