Mitchell's Revenge
Mitchell’s Revenge, Tiberion spaceport

Lucy, Em and Elena scrambled on board Mitchell’s Revenge. Elena had struggled to keep up with them and was breathing heavily. The space door thumped closed behind them as they made their way to the bridge. Flick was already undocking. Flex stood next to her. Grabb and Lou sat exhausted on the floor, their long legs stretched out in front of them.

Jake had his arms around Anja. She clung to her half brother. He hugged her tightly and then stepped back to take a proper look at his kid sister. Her lycra suit was wet and the carefully applied make up had smudged around her eyes.

“You’re taller,” he said. She smiled at him.

“I knew you’d rescue me!” she said. “I just had to wait for a way to get a message to you. Elena helped me.”

“We know,” replied Jake. “We figured it out. Rescuing you today was actually easier than we thought it’d be.”

He looked up as Lucy strode in, followed by Em and Elena. Jake grinned at them.

“You did it!” he said. He studied the rag tag group of people around him. “Well done everyone, and thank you.”

He looked at Lucy again, and his eyes widened. “Oh wow! I never thought I’d see you in a cat suit!”

Lucy smiled at him and touched the tab at her wrist. Suddenly she was standing barefoot in her silver ball gown. Grinning from ear to ear, Grabb got up and moved next to her. He touched the tab at his wrist and was clad in his tail suit. Lucy wriggled her toes and looked at her dance partner.

“At least you’ve got shoes on!”

They all laughed.

“Time to go home,” said Jake.
