Since the Boys boarded Great A'Tuin II, Lenny had been part of the household and photobombed a lot 🐈 I collected all the pics with a part of him below. Can you spot him?

In -> this post, he even could be found in three screenshots ;)

(Solution of the 'spot the cat - thing' below the cut)

Outtakes

He'd been watching over them :3

And he's so sad that B.D had been arrested while searching for his vaccuum bot... and got separated from his kids. Lenny will make it up to them and rescue him.

That was when Ji Ho and Vlad found their plates licked clean ^^'

Found Little Goat in Brindleton Bay while we shot the pics for today's episode in Bacalao Bay 🌅

This beach is one of the most beautiful places ingame <3

And there is Lenny! (The second lead from our 'Lost in Space' story ( first lead is a vacuum bot...))

[satureja13]

New Year's Eve already!

Jack calls the others for dinner.

Saiwa: "I wonder if we can stay sit and eat again - like on Winterfest?" But the others all damped his excitement. They are sure that was a one-time winterfest wonder.

And just a few seconds later... Vlad: "Aargh! I really tried but I need to stand up!" Jack: "Gods - I feel it too! Try to resist - there must be a way! I'll make a quick search!"

But it was futile... Saiwa: "At least we tried. And four of us are still sitting at least. Let's eat." (Editor's Note: This is really beyond me. On Winterfest we even had deco, place mats and mugs on the table and they all ate while staying sit! I didn't even decorate the table this time. And why do the others sit and eat and Vlad and Jack got up?)

Then they gathered in front of the TV. Because no way they are going to watch a three hour movie while sitting -.- (And here they all stood up - except Vlad ... )

Like last year, they are watching the Bollywood Classic 'Happy New Year' together.

A few minutes to midnight, they turned off the lights and gathered for the fireworks. Jack: "Can I light the first one?" Saiwa: " 'Course you can. After the sparklers." Kiyoshi: "Are you sure it's save to light fireworks in the indoors?"

Little Goat: 'Get ready for the show!'

Malfoy took Kumo away from the others. He's not as adventurous as the Little Goats. Malfoy: 'You should be save here.' Kumo: 'Thanks, Mal.'

Jack: "See, it's perfectly save." Kiyoshi: "I don't know..."

Jeb: "How beautiful!"

Well, Kioyshi was right. As soon as they lit the fireworks, they started to burn...

Jack: "Oh come on!" (Ji Ho thinks Kiyoshi is so brave and cool ^^')

Jack: "It's New Year's Eve - the tradition demands we have to make noise to chase the evil spirits away!" Saiwa: "I have to agree with Jack. We need every good luck we can possibly get. Let's try the battery." Kiyoshi: "Guys..."

Nice try - now they're all burned...

Saiwa: "Ach, dammit! How are we supposed to find the tin can and the meteorites when we can't even have a proper firework?"

Skully had the idea of saving. He turned his record player on and played loudly the theme song from the movie they'd watched. Skully: "That should do!"

'Yoon toh seedhe bade. Kabhi chahe toh haathon se lete lakeerein chura O humko parwah nahi. Joh bhi kehta hai kehne de jag yeh bhala ya bura Jaisi bhi marzi ho hamari.Karte hai aisi hoshyari Par dil se yaar joh le pukaar toh jaan nisaar kar daale'

'Usually we're very simple But if we want we can steal the lines from one's palms We don't care what the world says about us, good or bad Whatever we desire we attain that by using our smartness But if someone calls from their heart then we'll sacrifice our life for them'

India Waale - Happy New Year OST

That was enough excitement for one day. The Boys decided to share their New Years hugs and kisses and then head to their quarters and take a shower...

Jack: "Happy New Year, mate." Kiyoshi: "Tch."

Jack: "A New Year's kiss for your mate?" Kiyoshi: "Tch."

Jack: "Hey, just for good luck, hm?" Kiyoshi: "Tch." Sai and Jeb are already sharing the second kiss - just for good measure :3

Jack: "Hey, where are you going?"

Jack: "Oh..."

Little Goat: 'What a show!'

After the Boys Lenny freed B.D from Belsavis Jail, he met his kids Seon Mi and Joon Gi at the outpost. Albaleyh brought them here but had already left again before B.D arrived. Seems she's busy, as always. She hadn't been able to avert B.D's imprisonment to not endanger her diplomatic missions. Guilt is eating her up and she knows B.D isn't ready to face her either. There was something between them - but nothing to call it serious enough to try to forgive what happened and 'get together' again - because they hadn't really been together. (More about this -> here) Someday they'd have to meet again because the kids would miss Albaleyh, but these are worries for future B.D... Now he's just happy to be free again and around his kids and good friends. After they'd finished their snow pals, the old Twi'lek (it's actually Dtui, Kiyoshi's mentor/ the other is Kesuke/Kojin, the deity who saved Dtui and Kiyoshi from getting executed on the pyre ^^') suggested they'd call the Boys to tell them they're fine and to thank them again.

Seon Mi: "Where is Lenny? We miss him!" B.D: "Hey, we talked about this. First we say 'Hello' and then 'Thank you for saving our Dad!' Joon Gi: "Hello and thank you for saving our dad! Where is Lenny?" Jack: "Eh - I'll call him." Sai is also wondering why Lenny is still onboard. He just wanted to assist them to get B.D free... Saiwa: "Why didn't Lenny join your dad to be with you?" Seon Mi: "I don't know! Let's ask him."

There he is. In his new super hero outfit ^^'

Jack: "Why are you still here after we rescued B.D? The kids miss you." Lenny: "Mrrau! Meaouwl mreff!"

Sai: "What did he say?" Jack: "Aouwww. He said he wanted to stay with his friends - us!" Lenny let out a streak of meowls. Jack: "Ah, by 'friends' he means Skully, Malfoy, Axl and the Little Ones... But he appreciates our efforts... And he wants to make sure we don't mess up finding Tiny Can and the meteorites - because we're ... clueless?"

Joon Gi: "Is it true your were in jail while Lenny rescued our dad?" Saiwa: "Uhm..." B.D: "There's nothing wrong with getting arrested. Eh... if it is for a good cause. *And directed towards Sai and Jack* Ouf. I think we'll better end this call and start cooking before they get even more annoying ^^' Thank you, I'll never forget what you did for me - us." Seon Mi and Joon Gi: "Bye Lenny!"

Jack laughed: "Man they are terrific!" Saiwa: "You mean terrifying?" Jack: "And so cute! Can't wait to have kids of my own." Saiwa almost fainted. Jack raising kids ö.ö' (But we already know adult Jack has four terrific kids and he raised them well :3 )

When Jack called Lenny over, he still was in his winterfest pyjamas :3 It's the cutest thing when cats hop up the stairs <3

Outtake because Malfoy ran away ^^'

After Dayn had left, Jack and Jeb went to the security office to check these ominous letters from Jasmine Holiday. Seems the winterfest season has begun (!) and she has a few tasks for them. The Boys totally missed it - they completely lost track of time out here in space! They aren't even aware of if it's night or day. Every time is night time out here... One of the first tasks was stargazing. Now, that was easy. They hadn't started the engines yet so Jeb and Jack were able to gaze at a lot of stars! Then they went down to the crew mess to cook Japchae, as requested. Jack already was excited about winterfest in September, so he urged Jeb to put on their winterfest sweaters. Jeb: "Are you sure this goes conform with the starfleet protocol?" Jack: "Of course it does! We still wear our uniforms. Just beneath the sweaters ;) And since our communications system still doesn't work, no one sees it anyway."

Jack already hung up the wreath they got as reward for stargazing :3 With the galaxy freezer boney in front of it. To protect Kiyoshi's cheese from Lenny.

Meanwhile Saiwa and Ji Ho had started their shift. They can't really contribute to the ship's repairs or research for a cure for Ji Ho, so they are cleaning up a bit. (They'd made a mess when they lived here at the bridge with the Little Goats and Malfoy.) Scrutinized by the gardening bot, Lenny and the Little Goats. The Boys had searched thoroughly for the Romantium ore, but the Little Goats seem to have hidden it well this time. Little Goat: 'They are going to keep an eye on the ventilation openings in the future. No chance to place it there again...' Little Goat: 'We could hide it in their rooms again. Not as effective but still better than nothing.' Little Goat agreed: 'Which room first?'

As soon as Vlad and Kiyoshi confirmed the new route to the outpost in the astrometrics lab, Sai and Ji Ho are going to start the engines to take their detour to gather the missing pieces for the repair of the communication system and the other devices... Vlad and Ji Ho's meteorites were glowing and humming in their container... They hover so close together, it almost looks like it's one piece.

After the route was set, Vlad and Kiyoshi were supposed to sleep to take over one of the next shifts. But they went to the other engine room first. Kiyoshi briefed Vlad (since he and Jack were on duty at the bridge when Dayn showed it to the others). He also told Vlad Dayn and the former crew used the cooling basin as a hot tub and that he can't wait to try it out with Jack. Kiyoshi: "Or shall we two dive in before bed?" Vlad: "Uh, maybe another time. I'm too tired after all that commotion over the last days." Vlad is a loner and after being caged at the bridge with all the others for who knows how long, he's craving his alone time.

Kiyoshi left, he's tired too and no one knows how long they are allowed to sleep until the next madness happens... He hopes Jack will join him soon. He's missing having him in his arms and being close to his mate. Vlad looked at the basin. Now that the Romantium wasn't permeating the air of the ship anymore - will Ji Ho and him ever end up here together? He hopes Ji Ho will at least join him in their bed later, when he finished his shift. Vlad relived their picknick at the 'meadow', when he'd kissed Ji Ho. It had felt so easy then - by courtesy of the Romantium? Vlad almost wishes it back. But he has to find ways to be close to Ji Ho without it. He doesn't want Ji Ho to just want him because he's under the influence of an ore...

The Little Ones are sleeping too. Only Skully is still awake. He already decorated a bit for Winterfest! And he switched to his Winterfest playlist.

Currently it's playing: 'Do they know it's Christmas?' by Band Aid (TMI: I laughed and I cried when I watched this video again. I haven't seen it for 40 years! This was a project to raise funds for starving children in Africa by Bob Geldof and so many amazing musicians had joined him! Bono, Paul Young, Boy George, George Michael, Simon LeBon, Phil Collins on the drums and so many more!)

'… It's Christmas time, and there's no need to be afraid At Christmas time, we let in light and banish shade And in our world of plenty We can spread a smile of joy Throw your arms around the world At Christmas time

… But say a prayer and pray for the other ones At Christmas time, it's hard but while you're having fun There's a world outside your window And it's a world of dread and fear Where a kiss of love can kill you And there's death in every tear And the Christmas bells that ring there are the clanging chimes of doom Well tonight we're reaching out and touching you'

Dayn has to leave soon, his clients are hungry and waiting for him. Jeb and Kiyoshi quickly dragged him over to the astrometrics lab, where they'd stored Vlad and Ji Ho's meteorites, to ask him if he knows anything about their strange behaviour - only to find out that they now even started to float ö.Ö' And Dayn has no idea either what might have caused the glowing and floating stuff...

He also delivered their mail to the security office. A few letters form a certain Jasmine Holiday? Jeb: "I don't think we know her? Is this spam?" Dayn: "Uh - maybe? I've delivered quite a few of them." Jeb will check them later.

And when Dayn just wanted to head to the bridge, he sensed that this odd sensation, he noticed since he came on board, grew stronger again. Dayn: "Do you mind if I make a quick scan? There is something unusual here..." Saiwa: "Sure, go on."

Little Goat to Little Goat: 'Omg! They are going to find the Romantium!' Little Goat: 'Oh no! They are going to take it away!' Little Goat: 'Ach! And we had so much fun with it...' Little Goat: 'At least we have the hot tub now.' Little Goat: 'But who's going to use it without the Romantium?' Little Goat: 'Ach dammit!'

Dayn: "The source is in the engine room, let's take a look."

Dayn: "This is a Romantium ore. Why did you put it beneath the ventilation? It's permeating the whole ship. Oh, I see! Clever!" *Dayn winked at Saiwa* Saiwa: "A Romantium ore? I don't know why it's here. Strange. Though - I noticed something was... uh 'encouraging' us ^^' " Dayn, eagerly: "If you want to get rid of it?" The Little Goats stepped into Dayn's way, a hostile look on their cute little faces.

Saiwa shooed them back to the meadow and looked at the ore. It has potential... Saiwa: "Oh, that won't be necessary. We can handle it." Dayn laughed: "I see."

Vlad and Jack at the bridge overheard them. Vlad: "You know something about that ore?" Jack: "Why do you ask me?" Vlad: "Do you?" Jack: "Eh... I found it beyond the veil. The lightning that hit me left it behind. And I kind of know about its eh - romanticizing effect. But I didn't put it under the ventilation! I swear!" Vlad hissed: "And I swear - one day..." All that kissing and stuff with Ji Ho. It just happened because of that ore?

Luckily Dayn came upstairs just in time to show them which button to push to ignite the beacon so they can be found by the outpost, should they get lost.

Jack's finger hovered over the button: "It's this one, right?"

Dayn: "Yes. But don't get so close to it. There is only one beacon. If you accidentally push it and you get lost afterwards - you're really lost... The outpost won't find you and no one will know where you are because the GPS still doesn't work. Just let the autopilot follow that detour to the outpost - and don't push that button if it isn't necessary." Jack:

(Iconic scene above is from Guardians of the Galaxy 2) Then it's time to say farewell to Dayn. He hugged Lenny one last time: "Good luck Boys! Take good care of our Lenny!" The Little Goats were so glad he's finally leaving and that the Romantium's going to stay: 'That was close! Let's hide it before they get a grip on it!'

'The universe itself keeps on expanding and expanding In all of the directions it can whizz As fast as it can go, of the speed of light, you know Twelve million miles a minute and that's the fastest speed there is

So remember, when you're feeling very small and insecure How amazingly unlikely is your birth And pray that there's intelligent life somewhere out in space 'Cause it's bugger all down here on Earth'

'Winterfest in Space' starts -> here

They looked so sweetly at each other when I logged in! Ah it's the first Winterfest they are all kind of happy in their relationships and this makes this Winterfest so special to me 🎄💞✨

But soon we had an emergency! Lenny's friend broke down again!

Jack and Jeb heard him meowling in the engine room and ran over.

Lenny was in shock. After all he'd been through rescuing and finding his friend! But Jack and Jeb told him not to worry and got it working again almost immediately, just like last time.

So they could boldly go again where no cat with it's vacuum bot had gone before!

Then the Boys warily popped their holiday crackers...

Excitement hardly kept in its limits hahaha

I guess they will skip that custom next year ^^'

'But the last time I played Father Christmas I stood outside a department store A gang of kids came over and mugged me And knocked my reindeer to the floor

They said Father Christmas, give us some money Don't mess around with those silly toys We'll beat you up if you don't hand it over We want your bread so don't make us annoyed Give all the toys to the little rich boys'

The Kinks - Father Christmas

It's late. They turned down the lights and cuddled by the fire. With some hot cocoa and cookies 🍪☕🔥

They'd shared no presents this Winterfest since they're broke, as always. Keeping their money together to buy supplies and fuel for their search for the meteorites and Tiny Can.

But the best present for them is being with their loved one(s) anyway.

Outtakes:

Little Gardening Bot was shocked and in sad disbelief. As if he'd noticed for the first time that the meteorites were gone 🌠 (Even though he witnessed them vanishing in the transporter chamber himself...) He hovered in front of the container for quite a while...

[satureja13]

'Winterfest in Space' starts -> here

After the concert, Jeb had these leaves... (EA claims it's a mistletoe, but it isn't. More -> here. I guess they are holly leaves? *sigh*)

Sai thinks it's a bit cheesy but who is he to be picky when it comes to kissing Jeb! Sai can't even wait to follow Jack's plan to finally woohoo Jeb!

'Every time I look around this room My eyes, they tend to fall on you And I confess Nothing but you makes sense Memories fill my heart And I can barely keep my tears from fallin' Oh, I want your love Do you ever think of us?

Is it too late, too late To open up? I'm dyin' to say Oh, how I love you You're walkin' towards me now (What am I gonna say?)'

The Little Ones were in awe! And Skully quoted an old saying that says, if you refuse to kiss under the mistletoe (even if it wasn't a real mistletoe) somewhere in the galaxy a Little Goat gets collected by the Grim Reaper! (Because EA just is evil like that ö.ö')

The Little Goats were appalled and looked expectantly at Vlad and Ji Ho... Ji Ho tugged at Vlad's hand and his other hand grasped the 'scarf' Vlad gave to him earlier - it was as soft as a Little Goat. They can't let this happen!

No one wants to summon any harm upon Little Goats, even if it's just made up by an over-achieving, annoying, talking skull.

'You're walkin' towards me now Won't you read my mind somehow? Meet me in the middle, underneath a little bit of mistletoe No indecision, take a breath as I

Push my pride aside When I close my eyes It's just you and I Here under the mistletoe Magic fills the air Standin' over there (standin' over there) Santa hear my prayer Here under the mistletoe'

And after the Bond gave them a little encouraging kick, Vlad and Ji Ho shared an awkward kiss...

Kiyoshi and Jack are still only mates, just mates. And even though they 'accidentially' woohooed (even twice, in courtesy of the Romantium), Jack is not ready (and afraid) to have a romantic relationship again with Kiyoshi after all that had happened between them. And Sai and Ms Coombes also wouldn't want/allow Jack to go down that road again either. (Ms Coombes is more worried about Jack tainting Kiyoshi and his status as a precious deity though ^^')

Jack: "One little kiss is a small sacrifice to save a Little Goat, right?" Kiyoshi: "Are you sure?"

Jack does not look that sure anymore when Kiyoshi produced that 'mistletoe' and came closer, but he's determined to get through it!

Kiyoshi: "Don't be afraid. I'll take good care of you." Jack flinched a bit because that reminded him of his crazy Heidi dream where Kiyoshi, as the Laird, took good care of all of his people ö.Ö'

Jack refused to close his eyes, to keep himself from falling into Kiyoshi's softest kiss.

'Oh, everything I try To keep you from gettin' inside Works until I see your face I linger, hopin' you might stay Wrapped up in your arms Is where I wanna spend my nights So hard, how much I want you Do you think of us? How I want your love

Is it too late, too late To let you know I can't quite escape How much I need you You're walkin' towards me now (What am I gonna say?)'

Kelly Clarkson and Brett Eldredge - Under The Mistletoe

But he failed - and then it hit him all at once. All the kisses, tender ministrations and hot encounters between them in the past... And how much he wanted Kiyoshi - but not as a mate, just mate... He felt that bolt hitting him again - right in his chest. Hammering in his heart and reminding him that fate doesn't make mistakes...

'Winterfest in Space' starts -> here

Noxee had sent Ji Ho, Jeb and Jack their instruments so they could hold a little Winterfest concert at the 'meadow'. The Little Ones are excited and Skully is suggesting songs while they set everything up :3 Sai and Kiyoshi are cleaning up a bit and Vlad went to the storage to store their dirty laundry until after New Year. (Is that a thing at your place too that you don't do the laundry or leave laundry hung up between Christmas and New Year? (More about the Origins of this custom I found -> here, but maybe the ancestors just made this up to not have to work too much over the holidays ^^')

Vlad just wanted to leave the storage, when he saw some fluffy blankets on the shelves. He took one out. They are quite long but too narrow to be used as a blanket. Although very soft and warm. What could be their purpose? Hm. Vlad took one with him.

Despite drinking the potion to help him with his travel sickness, Ji Ho still has some side effects from traveling with the shuttle. Vlad: "Uhm - are you still cold?" Ji Ho: "Ehm - a bit?"

Vlad: "I found this in the storage. You could use it as a scarf?" Ji Ho: "Oh?"

Vlad: "It's soft and warm." This whole Vlad and him talking to each other was still so awkward, Ji Ho just stood there, holding the scarf thing - and Vlad's hands.

Vlad: "I can help you?" Ji Ho just nodded. Vlad wrapped the scarf around Ji Ho's neck. It felt like a warm hug.

Vlad's hand still lingered on Ji Ho's cheek: "Better?" Ji Ho: "So much better. Thank you."

Little Goats unison: 'Awww!' Jack sighed happily. Finally Vlad became more approachable towards Ji Ho!

A little later Jeb, Ji Ho and Jack began to play.

'Oh, I won't ask for much this Christmas I won't even wish for snow (and I) I'm just gonna keep on waiting underneath the mistletoe I won't make a list and send it to the North Pole for Saint Nick I won't even stay awake to hear those magic reindeer click'

'Oh, I just want you for my own More than you could ever know Make my wish come true Oh, baby, all I want for Christmas is you You, baby'

'I don't want a lot for Christmas There is just one thing I need (and I) Don't care about the presents underneath the Christmas tree I don't need to hang my stocking there upon the fireplace Santa Claus won't make me happy with a toy on Christmas Day'

Mariah Carey - All I want for Christmas is You

Sai, Vlad and Kiyoshi are blown away as always when their partners perform. And not only Sai wished for his stocking to be filled... or to fill someone's ^^'

Lenny in his festive pyjama and the Little Ones enjoyed the concert too :3

What Vlad hadn't seen was, that these 'scarves' seem to be Lenny's 'blankets' for his fluffy bed ö.Ö

But he sure doesn't mind :3

Lenny just wanted food for Winterfest

[satureja13]

It didn't go unnoticed by the First Order HQ that something was going on again at Batuu. It had cost Lt. Agnon a lot to cover the Masters obsession with this Boy, Jino... and he'd only been partly successful. And since then, HQ is keeping an eye on them. They can't afford another incident with the Master being blinded and unable to keep up his duties here. Agnons last hope is this bunch of scoundrels...

But it seems Sai already lost all his hope...

Jeb, quietly so Sai can't hear them, he's already worried enough: "He's still stunned. And we can't help him."

Kiyoshi: "Maybe it is for the best. He'd only freak out and scare Ji Ho over the Bond." Jeb: "Hm." They decided to let Vlad be. He looked quite happy. As if he was thinking of good memories with Ji Ho...

Lt. Agnon is supposed to be on duty here - but that doesn't mean he has to watch them all the time, right? So he and the droids tried to stall the Master and Jino's departure... And he made sure to loudly communicate with the TIE fighter crew about the Master's plans to bring Jino away from Batuu...

Dammit! They have to do something or Ji Ho will be kidnapped! This Hondo guy had claimed the 'Escape from Batuu' book was just fan fiction. But until now, everything had turned out as true. Except for the meteorite stuff. But the Boys already experienced the connection between Val and Jino and Vlad and Jo Ho...

Sai noticed Lt. Agnons absence from the guard room. He and the droids were busy with - whatever stuff First Order personnel is busy with... So Saiwa started to scan their holding cell...

Their magic might be blocked down here in the cells - but Saiwa has his own kind of 'magic' - his hacker skills. There is a camera in each of the cells. And this camera sends the recordings - somewhere. And so Sai started to redirected this 'somewhere' to Batuu's orbit - to Great A'Tuin II. Gladly the communications are fully functional again and Sai hoped he could reach Rubyn, Kesuke or Dayn so they could help them out of here! Before this Master brings Ji Ho somewhere else - or them to the prison planet ö.ö'

And really - the huge monitor at Great A'Tuin's bridge crackled to life. But it failed to conect with Rubyn, Dayn or Kesuke. It seems only Lenny saw Saiwa in the prison cell down at Batuu...

And maybe two other certain members of the 'crew' ^^'

Lenny: "Mreau!" Malfoy: "Batoook!" Skully: "Right, we are going to get those Boys outta there!"

They met at the 'meadow', Skully adjusted the camera. Skully: " 'kay - looks good so far... "

Skully: "Malfoy, a bit more to the left - no! My left! Aaaand action! - or whenever you finished your bowl, Lenny..."

Just a little later at Oga's Cantina at Batuu: DJ R3-X: "Guys! It's Lenny!"

And so Lenny, Malfoy, Axl, the axolotl and Skully started their broadcast to get the Boys out of prison. Because who else is going to feed them and clean up after them?

The folks at the Cantina started to make plans. Of course they are going to assist Lenny, the Legendary and his friends!

Cora, the traitor: "Dammit! We're screwed!" Vanel: "Ach, I shouldn't have listened to you! I'm out! Here's your money back. We stand no chance against Lenny!"

In the background of the broadcast, Skully was playing 'Fairytale of New York':

'It was Christmas Eve babe In the drunk tank An old man said to me, won't see another one And then he sang a song The Rare Old Mountain Dew I turned my face away And dreamed about you'

It's already early morning on the ice planet. The droids are almost finished loading the outpost's shuttle with the supplies and components to repair Great A'Tuin's communications system, scanners and all the other stuff Lenny had destroyed.... The shuttle will dock Great A'Tuin, unload and return back to the outpost. Jack and Vlad will board the shuttle B.D had stolen borrowed, so they can (try to) bring it back to Batuu and - hopefully - start negotiations with the First Order to get B.D free ö.Ö'

Before they had to leave, Jack asked Kesuke if he could scan for Vlad and Ji Ho's vanished meteorites, but the ice planet is surrounded by an asteorite belt -.- So no luck here. Kesuke: "Don't worry. You can try yourself when Great A'Tuin's scanners work again, hm?"

Jeb and Kiyoshi also had some bad news - for Vlad. The effects of the potion preventing Ji Ho's travel sickness had already faded. And they'd forgotten to stash a second one for the way back... Vlad: "Are you kidding me? Is he going to be sick again?" Kiyoshi: "We're sorry. But - to prevent this - you could - eh... maybe enhance the 'precautionary embrace'?" Jeb: "So Ji Ho gets a bit - eh... distracted? And we could hope for a kind of placebo effect?" Kiyoshi: "We haven't told Ji Ho about the potion yet. Better keep calm to not make him wary, hm? We could practise before?" Vlad: "What? No!" Vlad surely won't hug Jeb and Kiyoshi again, let alone an enhanced version of that! It had been embarrassing as hell! He'd do everything for Ji Ho - but he won't do that. Instead, Vlad started a walking meditation through the snow and mentally prepared for the 'enhanced precautionary embrace' that would make Ji Ho forget everything!

Meanwhile Ji Ho did the research for Jasmine Holiday, which was exhausting - as always... Feeling Vlad's turmoil through the Bond didn't help lifting his mood. Vlad was probably upset because he had to hug him again... Tch.

TMI: This is Kesuke's small apartment above the cantina. I love it so much <3

And poor Saiwa is also on a task for Jasmine. Listening to the 'Winter Holiday' channel... (He looks like 13 year old me when there was no escape from 'Last Christmas' ^^')

Eventually, they were all ready to leave and Vlad and Ji ho went behind the shuttle for a little privacy - in vain...

Little Goat: 'I think there's something going on behind the shuttle. Call the others - quick!' Little Goat: 'Ok!'

Vlad wanted to get it over with before his feelings gave him away and so he hauled Ji Ho in his arms for a kiss none of them would ever forget...

Little Goat: 'Man - this Boy can kiss!' Little Astromech beeped ecitedly in agreement and Ji Ho let out a soft moan.

A bit dizzy - the good kind of dizzy, not the pre-travel-sick kind of dizzy - Ji Ho boarded the shuttle with Jeb, Saiwa, Kiyoshi, Lenny and the Little Ones and it took off after they'd paid and said their thank-you's and good-bye's to Kesuke. He wished them 'Good Luck' - because they're gonna need it ö.ö'

Vlad and Jack are so excited - a dream is coming true for them! They went over to the stolen borrowed shuttle Lenny and Jack found. Jack: "This is really happening, my friend!"

Vlad only ever gets this excited when it comes to Star Wars and science fiction ^^

Jack: "And don't you worry. I've spend weeks flying this shuttle when I was in my coma." Vlad: "That's so awesome! I wouldn't even know where to start with all those buttons and switches around!" Jack laughed: "Ok - ready to take off?" Vlad: "As ready as I can get!"

Vlad: "So where is the button to defrost the windows?" Jack: "..."

At least Jack's puppy energy made Vlad forget the anger and worries about that forgotten potion and Ji Ho. So Ji Ho was able to linger in that kiss and reached Great A'Tuin without getting travel sick :3

Eventually, they found the button to defrost the windows and they followed the others back to the orbit. Where Great A'Tuin patiently waited to finally get repaired...

Outtakes

Jack still loves his bike from the Grim Reaper :3

TMI: This exact the same lot where the Boys had spent their first Winterfest together! Sadly, this is the only snow covered 50x50 lot in Mount Komorebi and I have to switch between the 3 lots I've built for it. The Tavern where the Boys had spent their first Winterfest, Tae Yang Monastery and this outpost.

'Once bitten and twice shy I keep my distance, but you still catch my eye Tell me, baby, do you recognise me? Well, it's been a year, it doesn't surprise me "Happy Christmas," I wrapped it up and sent it With a note saying, "I love you," I meant it Now I know what a fool I've been But if you kissed me now, I know you'd fool me again'

Last Christmas - WHAM!

The old Twi'lek, Kesuke, lead them over to one of the buildings. Kesuke: "Let's warm up in the cantina while the droids are loading your supplies and components into the shuttle."

Jack is so confused - and worried: "How is it possible I was here when I was lying in that pod in Copperdale in a coma? Is all this here even real then? I'm really afraid my mind is spiraling downwards into utter madness again, you know?"

Kesuke laughed: "What is real anyway? Don't worry, Jack. You're just as sane as I am. Even a tiny little quantum can exist in two states at the same time, right?"

'Don't worry'... That was the second thing Kesuke had said to him when he was here for the first time...

Jack has no clue of quantum mechanics, but of course he'd heard of Schroedinger's Cat... Saiwa: "Kesuke has a point, though. All the crazy stuff we experienced. The meteorites, the Bond, being Fated Mates, Vlad going to hell, Luci, horses from and a home in the Otherworld... Jeb and I even knocked on DEATH's door! More then one time we thought all that was too weird to be real. You shouldn't worry too much, hm? On the other hand - The Therapy Game, for example, it felt real for us too. And even though it was just a game - we even knew it and it didn't really change anything - we had to go with the rules of that game. So even if this were not real, we still have to rescue B.D and find Tiny Can to go on, right? Maybe this is just a different save file of the same game?" Kiyoshi got lost in his own thoughts. Same was when he'd spent all those decades in the tree. Had that been real? It had felt real for him. And he had to endure it - and he was glad he did. Because it brought him back together with Jack. And he would endure it all over again - for him. He'd never had left the tree if it hadn't been for Jack. Jack had been the beacon that had lead him back to humanity when his demon had taken over and the tree was about to consume him.

Vlad: "Or maybe it's like a dream? While dreaming, you don't know it's a dream and you play along, no matter how weird it is, because your brain tells you it's supposed to be like that. You'll only ever know after you wake up."

Jack was even more confused than before. Was that supposed to be reassuring? He shouldn't even have asked! ö.Ö' Kesuke has a weird way of giving advice anyway. Jack already learned that when he was here before - in his coma... Jack's head is about to combust: "I think I'm going to take a walk to cool down my poor brain ^^' " ... before Jeb and Ji Ho added their two credits...

Lenny left the cantina too. Seems he wants to show something to Jack. He ran over to what looked like a ship graveyard...

This shuttle looked oddly familiar...

And as Jack followed Lenny inside, he knew it. Kesuke and him had spent a lot of time flying this shuttle!

Kesuke: "Albaleyh left this shuttle here after B.D got arrested. She's a diplomat and couldn't get involved with it." Jack: "You mean this is the shuttle? The shuttle B.D had stolen borrowed? The reason why he got arrested?" Kesuke: "The main reason, yes. I would be in great trouble if the First Order found it here, you know? This is the nearest outpost to Batuu - and I have to stay neutral." Jack: "..."

Jack: "But we don't, right? We could bring it back and try to restore B.D's reputation!" Kesuke: "That's my Boy! Gladly the other shuttle he stole is already back in the possession of the First Order."

Kesuke and Jack went back to the others. It's so cosy in the outpost's cantina <3 Now they finally had a plan to rescue B.D. Well, a part of a plan at least. But who says they wouldn't get arrested for owning a stolen shuttle? ö.ö'

[satureja13]

Great A'Tuin finally reached the outpost! Dayn had organized an unmanned shuttle for them, waiting for them in the orbit. And the Boys are getting ready to set foot on their first alien planet! (In fact, Sai and Little Goat had already set foot on Otherworld's Sixam when they'd stepped through the portal to meet Tyalindo, their horse.) (TMI: The pic above shows Hoth in my Star Wars - The Old Republic game. I love this game so much and you can play it for free! I play for over ten years now and when I quested on Tatooine yesterday, I was standing there again, looking around in awe ^^')

Sai called for them to get ready. Jack was just about to finish knitting a pullover for Lenny. Dayn had told them that the outpost lies on an ice planet, so Jack had started knitting right away after Dayn had left :3 Jack: "You will like it!" Kiyoshi: "Hm?" Jack: "Ah never mind. I was talking to the cat ^^' " Skully, busy having an eye on Jack's knitting attempts: "No, two left first - then two right!" Jack: "Oh..." Knitting is so, so hard when your brain is so busy all the time! ö.ö

Jack finished Lenny's pullover just in time and helped him putting it on. Jack: "Look how cute you are! You love food just as much as I do, do you? Yes, you do!"

The Boys all gathered in the cargo bay to board the shuttle waiting for them. And since it's freezing down there, Jack thought they all should wear their winter sweaters (with their uniforms below - to go conform with the starfleet protocol :3 ) Vlad and Kiyoshi are as 'festive' as they can get ^^' And Sai just agreed to wear his because it's matching Jeb's (after Jack made Jeb wear his hahaha) (TMI: Vlad and Kiyoshi already refused to wear colourful sweaters on last year's winterfest...)

Ji Ho was just gulping down the most promising of the potions they'd tested. Skully: "Until the last drop - that's my Boy!"

Then it was time for the 'precautionary embrace'. Let's hope all this will prevent Ji Ho from getting travel sick again! Ji Ho didn't sense much nervousness from Vlad over the Bond, which made him nervous ö.ö What had happened at the sickbay when Vlad had been alone with Jeb and Kiyoshi? Did they make him swallow - potions - too?

Sai kicked Ji Ho out of his worrying thoughts by telling Vlad: "Do it thoroughly!" Poor Vlad, Sai has no idea how awkward and embarrassing this is!

And he did. The Little Goats sighed in awe: 'Aouwwww!'

Vlad tried everything to hide his feelings to not taint the 'preventive healing embrace'. So Ji Ho could just concentrate on getting down on the planet's surface in that shuttle without getting travel sick. Which wasn't an easy task. Holding Ji Ho's body close to his felt so good. It was hard to let go of him again...

Eventually, the Boys, Lenny and the Little Goats boarded the shuttle, and it took them down to the planet's surface!

It was an older shuttle and the ride was a bit wonky, but Ji Ho took it very well! Vlad was so relieved that their - inconveniences - had been of success! Though, it still means they need to have physical contact for 'the greater good' - and oh how he hates that! He wants to touch Ji Ho - and Ji Ho to touch him - because he wanted to and not because he has to -.- Not anytime soon - anyway - but still...

They stepped around the shuttle to take the outpost in. Wow!

Even Sai was amazed: "Now Jack and Vlad - this is just your style, huh?" But Vlad, Jack and Kiyoshi are taken aback. Worriedly Vlad looked at his friend: "Jack..."

This is exactly the place where Jack's mind had wandered to when he fell in his coma. (TMI: Jack has severe mental issues, but back then it was far, far worse. He believed Kiyoshi had been at the Lab to torture Saiwa and him (which he even was in the first place...) and Jack was just about to kill the wire-pullers when he collapsed and fell into a coma from all the turmoil inside of him. Kiyoshi and Vlad know this place too. They'd entered Jack's coma and came 'here' to bring him back.)

Jack: "How is this possible?" Saiwa: "Maybe you saw this place in a movie or documentary and your mind just chose it? Like in a dream, you know?" But there is also the old Twi'lek Jack had met in his coma - and he greeted him! Old Twi'lek: "Jack! Now that's a surprise, huh? How are you doing?"

Jack wasn't prepared for this - at all: "Eh..." Old Twi'lek: "Now, don't you worry, hm? We are going to repair that old turtle in no time and you can leave again soon to rescue B.D - won't we?" Jack: "Eh - sure."

(TMI: B.D, his kids and Albaleyh had been here when they searched for Lenny's vacuum bot.)

And from somewhere they heard Skully hum the X Files theme o.o

to be continued... ö.Ö'

Outtakes

The potion Ji Ho swallowed was the healing potion from the Get to Work pack. Afterwards, he immediately fell asleep ö.ö The Little ones too ^^'
