OOC: liberties are fine

Ed-Irma's

Ed looked up with his mouth full

"..."

then realizing what he was doing finished chewing, swaloed and said,

"yeah let me just finish this wonderful meal Miss Lily has fixed,"

he quickly finished eating his meal and proceeded to clean up his dishes in teh sink.

Rann, Irma's

"Just meet me at the ship; I have to load some stuff anyway." he said, leaving Ed to wash his plate.

Lily, Irma's

As soon as Rann left the room, she got up and poked her head around the corner to make sure that he was out of earshot. Satisfied, she turned back to Ed.

"You have to help me get on without Granny or Rann noticing." she pleaded.

Ed-Irma's

Ed just smiled at Lily's request,

"I figured you would want to come along. There's sill some equipment I brought from the ship in the work room. You could hide in on of the cases maybe. Or you could simply pack your stuff up put it on the ship and tell your grandma 'good bye I'm leaving. I'll keep in touch.' but that would be too easy."

Lily, Irma's

"I don't want any of us getting hit with a cane, so I'll go with the first option." she replied, returning the smile.

Rann, Irma's

He packed the few clothes he had onto the ship, and a few materials he had bought from Irma to recreate the guns he lost to the crimelord.

He lowered the ramp and sat on it, waiting for Ed.

Ed-Irma's

"Ah yes the infamous canings. They really are fun to watch." He said with a laugh

But anyways you better hurry and get in one of the cases. wouldn't want ot raise the suspicion of Irma seeing us walking together to the work room." He waited several minutes after she left before leaving hte kitchen and going to the workroom. He pick up a small case, and then began rolling a larger one with him back to the ship. by the weight of the case Lily was inside.

He walked out on the dock,

"alright this is the last of it."

Rann, Irma's

"Alright then. I guess it's time to go." He said as he waved to Irma who was standing off at a distance.

"Hey Ed, is Lily mad at me or something? you'd think she would at least say good-bye..."

Lily, Irma's

Lily tried her best to keep from bursting out in laughter at Rann's quesstion, and after a time, steadied herself and began eating some crackers that she brought along.

Ed-Ship

Ed glanced at Rann while he waved at Irma,

"Yeah you could say something like that," he said with a smirk.

"She was very upset that we were leaving her. She thoroughly enjoyed our company," as he turned to cart the cases into the storage room.

Rann, Irma's

Rann shrugged, having no idea what the hell he was talking about.

"Let me take that; you're flying, remember?" he asked, tapping on his new eye. "No depth perception."

He took the cart from Ed and put it in the storage room himself.

Ed-Irma's

"Right forgot about that," as he handed Rann the cases, "Be carefull that's delicate equipment."

He then proceeded to the cockpit and started the ship. After a few minutes he had managed to take of and was no leaving the atmosphere of the moon. ed turned on the intercom,

"So how is it back there? nice and cozy?"

Rann, Ship

"I'm right behind you." he announced, walking into the cockpit and sitting down beside Ed. "No need for that." he said as he flipped of the speakers.

"Set the course for RS413. I'll try to communicate directly with Satyana once we get closer; if I don't, nobody will believe that it's me with this new code."

Lily, Ship

Lily burst out of the confining crate, but didn't leave the storage room; they were still too close. Once they got far enough, Rann wouldn't want to turn around.

Ed-Ship

Ed didn't say anything that the message was mostly for Lily.

"Roger that coordinates have been set. Computer is in control now." Ed said sprawling out on the chair and getting comfortable. aftera yawn he said to Rann,

"only a day of travel" in an enthusiastically sarcastic tone.

Rann, Ship

"Burrito time." he said with about as much enthusasm as Ed.

"This thing throws me off." he said, staring at his hand as he moved it towards himself, and then back away repeatedly.

"Hey, do you think that if we had used red rithum in my eye, it would look red? Then I'd look like that Sel fellow from that book you used to have back at the dorm. What was it called?"

Ed-Ship

"oh yes burrito time. How I ahve missed those pre packaged bundles of joy" he added. then putting aside the sarcasm.

"I'll get it fixed as soon as we get to the station as I promised I would. I can inlay red rithum on the aperture if you'd like to give you an iris. the book was Mystery Unleashed I think I brought it with me. I'll go check." He said getting up off the chair.

Rann, Ship

"I didn't actually want red eyes." he mumbled after Ed had gone, not realizing that he might have had another reason for leaving. Like checking up on someone.

He remembered wondering what Ed was talking about when he asked about Lily before falling asleep in the chair.

Ed-Ship

ONce he was sure Rann wasn't following, Ed knocked lightly on the storage room door before entering. He found Lily.

"So how are you hanging in? I hope everythin is comfortable. How much longer are you going to wait before letting Rann know?"

Lily, Ship

"Just come back and tell me once we get through the first gate; that should be far enough to where he won't immediately turn around." she replied.

Ed-Ship

"Alright," he said softly. and then went to his stuff where he pulled out the book. He left the storage room and walked into the cockpit only to find Rann had nodded off,

"Typical," Ed said. then placed the book down by Rann and falling back down on his chair. He saw they weren't too far from the first gate. He wondered if Irma had found out yet, and how she would react. he became lsot in his thoughts.

OOC: gone to bed. cya in the morning.

Rann, Ship

Rann woke up a few minutes later as his stomach began to growl. He hadn't eaten when Lily and Ed had.

"Want a burrito?" he asked. He didn't really wait for an answer; he just made his way to the kitchen to make one.

He stopped by the engine room for some coolant and was soon back in the cockpit enjoying a hot meal that he had eaten many times before.

"What gate is this? first? Second? Third? How long was I asleep?" he asked, pointing to the gate looming ahead.

Ed-Cockpit

"nah I'm good" Ed muttered as Rann left, unsure if he had been heard.

"It's the first gate. you only slept for a few minutes, which is miraculous enough seeing as how you've been getting very little sleep the last few days."

Rann, Ship

"The first gate? Damn this thing is slow." He complained. He didn't want any crimelords beating him to the station.

"Listen, go get yourself a burrito. I seriously need to get rid of them."
