The Sereni-Tree and the Second Gala Pageant Winds Down by TheRealMe

Um.. I'm wondering. Do you all HAVE to be staring at my nether regions? I know this is a big exciting event and all, but still, a little uncomfortable for me. And, could someone bring me some ice chips? Don't women in labor usually get ice chips?

"Oh, uh... no reason to be concerned, Serenity. After all, I pretend to be a doctor on a different thread."

However, TheRealMe begins a careful study of the ceiling. He talks into his com-link.

"Sparky? Kindly bring some crushed ice to the Infirmary. Might as well drag along whatever it takes to make mixed drinks as well."

He turns to Soul.

"Rings, I think, are traditional?"

"Right! Uh...Jazaf!"

Jazaf walks into the room, nearly running into Soul since he is not tearing his gaze away from the ceiling.

"Watch it!" Soul cries.

"Sorry. What do you need?"

Soul pulls out the rest of the platinum he had bartered with JadeHand for a while back to make Serenity's engagement ring. "I need two wedding bands, please."

Jazaf sighs. He takes the platinum and closes his fingers around it. Concentrating for a moment, he opens his hand back up and two wedding bands of two different sizes are resting in his palm. Soul takes the rings.

"Thanks." He turns back to Serenity and places the ring on her finger.

"And if my services are no longer required...."
Serenity cries out as the pain intensifies.
"I'll be getting the hell outta here!"
He hurries as fast as he can out of the room.
"Well crud, I don't have a wedding gift for them.. But I know where to go!"
With that he heads to the Hanger bay leaps into the Gen. Lee and after fumbling with the controls flies out into the black.
"Hope they don't mind... But I will be back with more stuff, just gotta call in some favors."

Meanwhile, alone in the Common Room, Malicious stirs. She wakes up, looks around, and climbs out of The World's Most Comfortable Chair.

She strolls up onto the stage for the Second Gala Pageant, and walks up to the microphone.

"As the only judge who is present and not incapacitated, I hereby declare the winner of the Second Gala Pageant to be... ME!"

Malicious collects her second set of Miss 'Verse regalia, puts it on, and heads off to her quarters, humming a happy tune.
