That was coooooooooooooool, especially …….  “And I thought I was supposed to be the sick one,” Ruby said as she put the bottle of water down on the floor and held Charlie’s hair back. “You just trying to steal my thunder?” Ruby joked. “Is that what all this is about?” “I wish,” Charlie mumbled as she flushed the toilet before sitting up and leaning herself against the wall. “I’d forgotten how crappy morning sickness can make you feel.” Charlie reached forward and picked up the bottle of water and unscrewed the lid and took a drink. “Sorry,” Ruby exhaled. “It’s my fault you’re getting sick.” “Stop blaming yourself,” Charlie told her. “I’m a grown woman and I made the choice myself to have this child. You didn’t force me into it.”  “When did you know you were going to call me Ruby?” Ruby questioned. “You were a few hours old and we were having a little cuddle. You had these really red lips when you were a baby and I said that you were my precious little ruby stone and then Ruby just seemed to fit you.”  “I won’t be long. You’ll be okay on your own, won’t you?” “Yes mother, I won’t use the stove, or answer the door to strangers or run with scissors.” “I meant -” “I know what you meant,” Ruby answered. “But you don’t need to be fearful of leaving me on my own for a little while. I feel perfectly normal today.” “Sorry, I just worry.” Charlie answered. “You worry?” Ruby gasped. “Well that’s news to me.” “Oi,” Charlie pointed to her daughter. “Less of that or there’s no lemon drizzle cake for you.” “That’s just mean.” Ruby pouted and Charlie exhaled before giving a little laugh.  “Wish I could say I cooked them then.” Brax laughed as he handed Charlie her change. “You were a better cook than me,” Charlie told him. “Poor Rubes is dealing with a lot more burnt stuff these days.” “Ah she’s had 17 years of that, I’m sure she’s used to that by now.”

SOOOOOOOO GREAT that Charlie’s latest offspring is a match !!!!!! LOOOOOOOOVED that !!!1, especially ……. • “I asked Ruby if she would take me surfing but she said she’s too sick right now.” Darcy bowed her head down. “Yeah, she is right now, but once she is better I am sure she’d love to take you surfing, wouldn’t you Rubes?” Charlie questioned as she looked to her daughter. “Of course.” Ruby smiled at the girl. “You pinky promise?” Darcy questioned and Ruby nodded as she linked pinky’s with Darcy. • “You’re not allowed coffee in your condition.” Ruby told her mother. “I’m sure one cup won’t do any harm,” Charlie answered. • “You must be pretty fertile,” Heath gave a little chuckle. “You sleep with the guy twice, well you don’t actually sleep with him but you know, I mean -” “I know what you mean,” Charlie said as she pushed the door to go into the canteen. “I guess he just has good swimmers.” Heath gave another chuckle as Darcy ran over to pick out what ice cream she wanted. “Do you eh.....is it weird being pregnant with his child again?” Heath questioned. “You know after what appened with how you got Rubes?” “I don’t think about that,” Charlie shook her head. “This baby is going to save Ruby and that’s all I think about. Not who the father is. It’s irrelevant to me. I love Rubes more than anything and I know I’ll feel the same about this child.” • “I’m sure many people in the bay will think the same,” Heath exhaled. “But I love her and I do believe that people can make mistakes and that she won’t be unfaithful again. I believe in giving her a second chance. God knows I’ve had more than that. She’s forgiven me for things in the past, you know, she looked past my bad background, my involvement in the drugs, and I did walk out on her.” • Charlie exhaled and Heath could see that she was hurting about someone else more. • “Stop shaking your legs.” Ruby put her hand onto Charlie’s knee, stopping her from moving it. “Well sorry but I am a little nervous,” Charlie replied. “What if he says the baby isn’t a match? Then this would be all for nothing. I’d have to have this baby for what? I would have ruined my relationship with Brax for nothing and I’m carrying the baby of my rapist. I actually wanted to have his child but I don’t even know if it's going to be a match. God, Brax is right, I am crazy.” Ruby exhaled lightly. “You wouldn’t be you if you weren’t a little crazy sometimes,” • “I know we’re not deeply religious but God wouldn’t be that cruel, would he?” Ruby questioned. “13 no matches is bound to mean the next one would be a match.” • “Maybe you’ll just need to accept that there is nothing else that we can do.” Ruby said quietly. “Never,” Charlie shook her head. “I’ll never stop trying and when you’re a mother you’ll understand why,” Ruby exhaled lightly and went to reply but stopped as Sid walked into the room, looking down at the results. “Just tell us,” Charlie looked up at Sid and he could see she was desperate for the results and didn’t need any unnecessary talk. “It’s a match.” Sid smiled and Charlie breathed out a sigh of relief before pulling her daughter into a hug, as a tear of joy rolled down her cheek.

That was SURPRSING and coooooooool, especially …….  “I hear you’re pregnant, congrats. I’m happy that you get to save Ruby the way you wanted.” “Yeah,” Charlie smiled awkwardly as she lightly rubbed her stomach. She was 8 weeks pregnant, and counting down the days until she could get tested to see if the baby would be a match for Ruby. “Well I just came in for a tea so.” Charlie said as she tried to walk away but Bianca spoke again, stopping her.  Please,” Bianca exhaled. “I’m so sorry that I did and I hate how much it hurt you but I just want my best friend back.” “Well you’re not going to get her back, so just give up trying,” Charlie said before walking away as Bianca sadly walked out of the diner.  “Sick till the day she was born,” Charlie exhaled. “But hey, if this kid is going save her life then I’ll put up with it,”  “Hopefully I get home in the next few days.” “I don’t know about that,” Charlie teased. “I’m enjoying the peace so might have you stay here longer.” “Haha you are hilarious mother,” Ruby rolled her eyes. “So anyways did you remember the picture of the baby scan today since you’re already baby brain forgot it yesterday?” “I did.” Charlie nodded as she fished into her bag, pulling out the scan pictures and handing them to Ruby. “Uhm...” Ruby looked to the picture before looking up to her mother then back to the picture. “I don’t see anything that looks like a baby.” Charlie gave a little laugh as she leaned forward and pointed to the baby on the scan. “That’s the baby there.” “What the thing that looks like a bean?” Ruby questioned and Charlie once again gave a little laugh. “Well it is about the size of a kidney bean right now so I guess that’s a fair comment.” Charlie said. “A kidney bean,” Ruby laughed. “That’s what I am going to refer to the baby as from now on.” “You are going to refer to my stomach as kidney bean?” Charlie scrunched her face up. “No, just bean,” Ruby answered.  “It’s pretty amazing that your eggs and a guy’s sperm can come together and make little kidney beans that turn into real little people.”  I’m going to love this kid so much,” Ruby said. “It’s going to save my life. How am I ever going to thank it enough?” “Well lots of babysitting, treats and fun days out sounds good to me.” Charlie replied. “Of course,” Ruby answered. “I am going to be the best big sister ever to that little bean.” “I know you will.” Charlie smiled lightly at her daughter and only hope that this baby was indeed a match. Although they were talking like it already was, she knew there was a chance it could go the other way and that it really was 50/50. She exhaled lightly and ran her hand over her stomach, hoping that this went their way.  “Be in a room with you and Bianca all night? No thanks,” Charlie shook her head. “Bad enough Heath forgiving her so quickly, never mind me having to put up with you two in the same room for a night.” “It’s just pizza, beer, wine, soft drinks obviously if you do come,” Brax said. “You’d save me from being the 5th wheel and it would be nice for the 6 of us to all hang out again like we used to. ou know it would be nice if we can be friends.” “I can’t do friends,” Charlie shook her head. “Not when I lo -”

Two FANTASTIC chapters !!! TOTALLY looooooove it, especially …….  Bianca smiled lightly as she moved closer to Heath. “You know I love you so much right?” Bianca questioned. “I know,” Heath said as he tucked Bianca’s hair behind her ear. “I eh...” Heath trailed off. He loved her, he did, but he didn’t feel like she deserved to hear it right now. “Well maybe if you don’t leep with my brother again I’ll be saying it soon enough.” “What?” Bianca and Heath looked up to see Ruby, April, Romeo and Dexter walking into the house. “You slept with Brax?” Ruby questioned. “Ruby I -” Bianca tried to explain but was cut off by Ruby. “How could you do that to mum?” Ruby questioned. “And to Heath?” “It was just a mistake,” Bianca answered. “I hate that I’ve hurt your mum and Heath, but I’m going to make it up to both of them.” “You stay away from my mum because I know she won’t want to be friends with you anymore.” Ruby spat before she ran from the house, with Romeo running after her. “Wow, Bianca,” April raised her eyebrows. “Nice.” “April, look I -” “Don’t,” April shook her head. “Are you’re just going to forgive her?” April questioned as she looked at Heath. “Well I left for a couple of weeks eh, so I’m not totally blameless,” Heath said as he looked to April. “So yeah, we’re going to try again.” “Well, I’ll leave you two to carry on playing happy families then,”  “At least I’m only sleeping with one guy. I didn’t get bored of one brother so jumped to the next then back again.” April shouted before throwing her school bag down on the floor and running out of the house. “Well I guess we are leaving.” Dexter said awkwardly before he walked out of the house after April.  “How am I supposed to save her now?” Charlie said as she felt herself welling up with tears. Brax exhaled lightly as he walked out from behind the bar and led Charlie through to the office. “There’s nothing I can do now and she’s my baby. I’m supposed to be able to keep her safe and I can’t.” Charlie felt like her heart was breaking, admitting there was now nothing she could do for her daughter. Brax exhaled as he looked into her eyes and could see the pain and hurt.  Well you’re not getting to have the baby now, so maybe -” “You think I’ll take you back just because I can’t get the IVF?” Charlie questioned. “Nah,” Charlie shook her head. “I don’t want you back. I just want my daughter to be okay.”  You don’t have to hate them Rubes,” Charlie shook her head. “They -” “Yes I do,” Ruby raised her voice. “You’re going through enough having to deal with a sick daughter and they just leave you and sleep with each other and don’t care about your feelings at all,” Ruby said. “And I’m so sorry for going to Bianca’s when you said I couldn’t. I guess I understand why you didn’t want me going there now but it was only so April could grab a few things.” “It’s okay,” Charlie exhaled. “I just didn’t want you finding out from someone else, but I probably should have just told you yesterday.” “You were probably just trying to protect me,” Ruby gave her mother a smile. “So how did it go with Grant today?” “Not great,” Charlie spoke hesitantly. “Someone told the clinic we weren’t a couple so unfortunately now we can’t get the IVF.” “Well who would do such a thing?” Ruby questioned. “This is to stop me from dying.” “I know,” Charlie lightly rubbed her daughter’s cheek. “Brax swore it wasn’t him, so I can only think Tracy found out and put a stop to it.”  Ruby smiled nervously, her hopes of the saviour sibling happening crashing drastically. “I love that you’re still willing to try but what else can be done?” Ruby questioned. “It’s not as if you will sleep with him, is it?” “Hopefully it doesn’t come to that,” Charlie shook her head. “But you know I would do anything to save your life, right?” “I know, that’s what I am worried about.” Ruby answered.  “Well for what it’s worth I’m sorry,” Charlie said. “It’s me who wanted this so I’ll take the blame so if Tracy wants anyone to yell at send her my way.” Grant gave a little laugh. “No I’ll just keep her being mad at me. It’s easier for me to get back in her good books.”  “You still want to have this baby?” Grant questioned. “Of course I do,” Charlie answered. “But if we can’t get the IVF what does that leave us with? I mean we’re not exactly going to jump into bed together are we?” “No and we don’t need to,” Grant shook his head. “We could use the turkey baster method,” Grant said. “You know I pleasure myself and then put my collected sperm into a needless syringe and then you put it in you.” “You think that will work?” Charlie questioned. “Sure,” Grant nodded. “I’ve been reading about it online at work and it’s been successful.” “What about Tracy though?” Charlie questioned. “I know I want to do anything I can to save my daughter but are you willing to potentially ruin your marriage for me and Ruby when you have nothing to do with her and when you’ll have nothing to do with this baby?” Grant exhaled lightly. “I want to make it up to you,” Grant said quietly. “I know nothing will take away what I did but I thought maybe if I did this for you, it could in a way make up for what I did to you back then and show you that I am sorry.” “Eh well.” Charlie was quiet surprised by what Grant had said. Last week he was still denying what he has done, but for the last two days, he’d admitted to it twice.

REALLY enjoyed that, especially …….  Now it was fair to say that Ruby Buckton and Indi Walker’s feelings for one another boarded along the lines of pure hatred. What would cause such a dark feeling as hate between two pretty girls such as Indi and Ruby? Well the answer was simple enough and that would be a spineless guy. At first they had thought that this guy was the most prefect most desirable person they had ever laid their eyes on Not only did he have a name which would melt any girls heart Romeo. But he also had the body, everything from his short light blonde hair to his tinkling brown eyes and prefect muscular chest that he enjoyed showing off by rarely wearing a top. And if that wasn’t enough to get any girl to go into a flutter about, Romeo was close to being a pro surfer and would happily show off his surfing talents with anyone who would book themselves in to have a surf lesson with him. But even with all this going for him Ruby and Indi no matter how much they loathed each other agreed on one thing and that was Romeo was a douche.  Romeo should have been more careful when choosing Ruby and Indi as the two girls to play against each other, because Summer Bay High had just started to take some very interesting nights classes, which were taught by a very beautiful but also very mysterious Italian teacher named Bianca Scott whose talents spread much further than just teaching in a normal classroom, as Romeo would soon come to realise how far Bianca talents went. In the darkness of his room Romeo tossed and turned while being in a very troublesome sleep. Somewhere amongst his troubled dreams lay a warning that danger was ahead for him, if he didn’t stop acting the douche. Hearing a slight knocking at his chest of drawers across from him, Romeo jumped. With his eyes open wide he gazed across at his wooden little doll sat upon his chest of drawers flopped over slightly. Romeo had no idea where he had gotten this wooden doll from, who had named Mr Oddly. He had just always seemed to be there with that creepy looking grin of his and his dead like stare. Sometimes Romeo could of swore that his eyes glowed red while sitting in the darkness of the nights while Romeo tried to sleep. Tonight Mr Oddly’s smile was the meanness he had ever seen it. Romeo thinking he was just being silly punched the softness back into his pillow and went back to sleep. While Mr Oddly sat watching him knowing full well that Romeo had been a very, very, very bad boy.

LOOOOOOOVE it !!! The names are WAAAAAY coooool ......GandAlf, Braxtor ..........AND i think that will be Pinochio

LOOOOVED that, especially …….  “Because that does nothing to help Ruby,” Charlie answered as she unlocked the car and opened the door to get in. “I’m going to do this regardless of what you say, I obviously would have liked it if you were able to accept it and stick around but unfortunately for me that’s just not the way this has worked out so I guess it just wasn’t mean to be. Now, I really need to get to the city so why don’t you just head off back to Bianca’s.” Charlie spoke coldly towards Brax before she got into her car, and turned the keys in the ignition, before driving off towards the city.  “If it’s any consolation she didn’t seem to enjoy it much. Told me she preferred being with you.” Brax said quietly. Heath gave a little grin. “Well maybe she does still have sense.”  “So yeah you’re my brother and we stick together, we’re family and I’m not going to let some chick come between us.” “I know but it’s Bianca. She’s not just some chick is she? You have a kid together and you’re proper in love with her. I’ve never seen you treat a woman like you treat Bianca. Usually you’ll be with a woman and then you’ll get bored of her and move on to the next one, but it’s not like that with Bianca. You are in a proper relationship with her and it’s nice to see.”  “You know you are going to have to act better than that once we get inside?” Grant questioned. “It’d be obvious to anyone we weren’t a real couple. You can’t look so petrified of me.” “Well it’s kind of hard to after what you did.” Charlie answered. “But you still want to have my baby?” Grant questioned. “You don’t make sense.” “I don’t want to have your baby,” Charlie answered. “I need to have this baby to save my daughter.” “You mean our daughter?” Grant questioned. “She’s my daughter,” Charlie answered. “You are just the sperm donor on both counts,” Charlie said. “The sooner we get this done and I get pregnant and don’t have to see you again the better.” “No, you’ll just have to see my child every day of your life,” Grant gave a little laugh. “But hey if having a baby with your rapist thrills you who am I to judge?” Charlie widened her eyes in surprise. It was the first time that Grant had properly admitted to raping her.  “But Leah was working so I had to spend my morning in the diner and my Cosmopolitan only lasted so long.” “Leah made you an alcoholic cocktail?” Dexter screwed his face up and Ruby and April burst into a laugh. “Cosmopolitan is a magazine babe.” April said. “Oh yes, that one that I lose you too once a month for a while,” Dex exhaled. “It looks more like a book than a magazine, seriously is there that much to write on fashion and stuff?”

REALLY enjoyed that, especially …….  “I’m sorry,” Ruby sounded like she was going to cry. “I’m so sorry I tried to call you I promise you I did, but no one could get signal and -” “It’s alright.” Charlie pulled back and rubbed Ruby’s arms. “But you’d have been so worried that something happened because I didn’t call like I promised.” Ruby sniffed back. “I was,” Charlie pursed her lips together. “But you’re home safe now. A little earlier than expected actually,” Charlie said. “Thought you’d make the most of your time away.” “I couldn’t when I couldn’t get in touch with you,” Ruby shook her head. “I’m so glad to see you.” Ruby once again leaned against her mother for a hug. “Hey it’s alright,” Charlie rubbed her daughters back. “  “I want a mother daughter day,” Ruby smiled as she looked up to Charlie. “If you do?”  “So he left you because of me?” Ruby questioned. “It’s my fault you are over.” Charlie shook her head as she saw her daughter welling up. “I’m so sorry.”  Rocco, upon seeing his dad, let out a squeal of excitement as he waved his hands out to the side. Heath smiled as he lifted his son onto his knee and Rocco babbled as he buried his head against his dad’s chest.  “I’m so sorry I did. I just panicked. I was so scared I was going to muck up and thought that you and Rocco deserved better.” “I’ll be the judge of what sort of man I date thank you,” Bianca said. “You were a great partner and are a fantastic father.” Heath smiled at her compliment. “Do you eh....do you think we could maybe ever work again?” Heath questioned. “Depends if you can forgive me for sleeping with your brother.” Bianca replied. “I eh....” Heath trailed off as he took a deep breath.  “Heath,” Sid walked out of the room and over to him. He exhaled as he shook his head lightly. “Sorry, you’re not a match.”  “How could you?” Ruby spat as she lunged forward and scratched at his face. “You promised, you promised me.” Ruby cried as Brax took hold of her hands, getting them away from his face. “You promised you wouldn’t leave her. You said you wanted to spend the rest of your life with her.” “I’m sorry,” Brax spoke quietly. “But she’s having someone else’s baby.” “To save my life,” Ruby answered. “Do you actually want me to die?” Ruby screamed as she pulled her hands away from Brax’s grasp. “I hate you,” Ruby spat. “I thought you liked me, I thought you wanted me to be okay.”  “Ruby,” Charlie shouted as she ran into the restaurant. “Stop it.” Charlie took hold of her daughter. “But it’s not fair, how can he be so selfish at a time like this.” Ruby sniffed back as Charlie wiped the tears from Ruby’s cheeks with her thumbs. “It’s okay,” Charlie answered. “He’s not worth all these tears or getting yourself so worked up over, oaky?” Charlie said as she sat her daughter down on the chair as she was out of breath from her outburst. “Calm yourself down,” Charlie said as Ruby regulated her breathing. “Now what you doing running in here and attacking him like that?” “I’m just so angry with him.” Ruby answered. “I know, but this isn’t going to solve anything is it?” Charlie said. “I thought maybe if I yelled at him enough he’d see how wrong he was being in all of this.” Ruby answered as she looked up to her mother. “I don’t think anybody will make him see that sweetheart,” Charlie answered as she gave Brax a glance and noticed some blood running from his cheek where Ruby had scratched him. “

That was EXCEPTIONAL!!!!!!, especially …….  He used all his strength to prize the lid open with his bare hands. At long last Dexter looked up to see a few hundred people engaged in Star Wars in Concert: The Orchestra Tour.  Dexter read the program eagerly. “Woah, get your light saber ready Belle, it’s going to be a great show tonight.”  Dexter cleared his throat. “We have information about an invasion from the Darkside.” There was silence for a moment then the lady on the other end finally spoke. “Is that a terrorist organization?”  “She went psycho on someone’s car. Cut the brakes.”  “She was in love with someone who didn’t want her.” Jai cut in. “Apparently he still had feelings for his ex. Ruby thought it was an idea to hopefully bump her off so she could have the guy for herself.” April frowned. “That’s just delusional.” Jai nodded in agreement. “Guess love makes you do stupid things.”  “Football players, you were right about them. They think you’re someone to make fun of.” Dexter glanced at her. “Some of them do. Some of them treat me like I’m a frog being dissected.” “Aww Dex, at least you’ve got me.” “What did you think of me when we first met?” “I thought you were a walking encyclopaedia of weirdness, Sci fi weirdness, in a good way. I also thought you were interesting and cool.” Belle spoke honestly.

Two REALLY GREAT chapters there, especially …….  She took a deep breath before she marched over to the table and slapped Bianca hard in the face. “Charlie.” Irene looked shocked as Bianca stood up as she rubbed her cheek. “No it’s fine,” Bianca spoke quietly as she looked from Irene to Charlie, seeing the hatred and anger on her face. “I deserved it.” “What could you possibly have done to have deserved that?” Irene questioned. “You going to tell her or will I?”  I hate you Bianca, because you know. You know how much I love him and how I’ve never loved anyone like I love him. How I let myself completly trust him and let myself think about us getting married and having children one day. I didn’t do that with Angelo, I freaked out so much over the whole moving in together thing, but with Brax, it was never scary. It was him, he was the one and now we can never be together.”  “Or maybe you want to go find Casey and sleep with him too. You know, make it all 3 of the Braxton brothers that you’ve bedded,” Charlie spat. “Obviously you won’t find it a problem considering you were able to sleep with Brax easily enough.” “You did what?” Bianca and Charlie turned around to see Heath and Darcy standing in the door way of the diner. Bianca looked shocked to see him, and Heath looked equally as shocked at what Charlie had said. “Well is what she said true?”  “In this dream we had 4 girls,” Ruby gave a little laugh. “I think the middle two were twins. You were teaching the oldest one how to surf, as me, the twins and the little one were making sandcastles.” “Sounds good to me,” Romeo smiled. “But four girls? That’s going to give me grey hair very early.” Ruby laughed lightly. “Well I hope that’s just in dream world,” Ruby exhaled. “I only want two children.” “Me too,” Romeo gently rubbed the side of Ruby’s head over and over. “One of each would be nice.” Romeo said and Ruby nodded in agreement. “The boy first, hopefully,” Ruby answered. “So then he can be all protective of his baby sister.”  “And besides, I can think of something better for us to do.” Ruby smiled suggestively as she placed a kiss on Romeo’s lips. “Oh yeah and what’s that?” Romeo questioned. “Practise making babies.” Ruby whispered before pulling him in for another kiss.  Bianca bowed her head down sadly. “You left me, Heath, what was I supposed to think?” Bianca questioned. “You just disappeared for two weeks.”  “Have you heard yourself?” Heath questioned. “She is going to have a baby to save the life of her dying daughter and you can’t support that? She could lose her daughter if she doesn’t do this. I didn’t think you were as selfish as that,” Heath shook his head, disgusted at his brother. “It shouldn’t be about you right now, it should be about Ruby,”  “Hmm, and Uncle Brax isn’t here either is he?” Darcy questioned. “Dad said he was at Bianca’s and that he was a bast -” “Darcy Callahan,” Heath interrupted. “Do not finish that sentence.” “Well you said it first.” Darcy said as she glared up at her father. “Well yes, but I wasn’t aware that you heard me.” Heath exhaled.  “Why did you leave?” Charlie asked. “I got scared.” Heath answered honestly. “Big tough river boy Heath got scared?” Charlie questioned. “Yeah,” Heath gave a little laugh. “18 months ago I had no-one else in my life worth worrying about and then I got Bianca, Darcy turned out to be my kid and then her mother died and she was my complete responsibility, then Rocco happened and then one day I just thought to myself I have 3 people who rely on me and want my love and I....I thought I’d screw up and I just......I panicked.” “Don’t you think it wouldn’t have been a better idea to stay and talk to Bianca?” Charlie questioned. “Probably, but you know me,” Heath answered. “Sometimes I don’t do the best thing. A bit like Brax leaving you wasn’t the right thing either. I can’t believe how selfish he is being.” “Yeah, well I guess he has his reasons.” Charlie exhaled. “Well I think he’s crazy,” Heath said. “Of course you’re going to do whatever you can to save your child.” “Yeah but he can’t accept it so we would never work.” Charlie shook her head, saddened. “Maybe because he isn’t a parent he just doesn’t understand,” Heath said. “I know I think differently now I have Darcy and Rocco.” Heath looked to Charlie and saw that she was uncomfortable talking about this.  “And I guess most people in the bay would have been tested?” “Yeah, a lot did,” Charlie answered. “Unfortunately we just didn’t find a match.” “Well I’ll go to the hospital and get tested,” Heath said and Charlie gave him a thankful smile. “I eh, I wondered if it was okay for me and Darcy to stay here for tonight?” Heath questioned. “I went up to the van park but Roo said all the vans were full but there are people leaving tomorrow so I’ll can get one then, so it would be just for tonight.” “Eh yeah,” Charlie nodded. “You can have the spare room and Darcy can have Rubes’ room for the night.” “Thanks,” Heath smiled as he stood up from the couch. “I’ll take our bags up the stairs just now.” Heath said before standing up from the couch and picking up their bags and making his way up the stairs.

REALLY enjoyed that, especially …….  “Brax,” Charlie sounded surprised to see him. She stared at him and already felt awkward and he hadn’t even entered the house yet. “I eh....I :oguess you want the rest of your things?”  “I can’t get in touch with my sick daughter and my boyfriend left me yesterday because I’m doing whatever I can to save her,” Charlie answered dryly. “So how do you think?”  Charlie felt like her heart was being ripped from her body. Although Brax leaving her hurt, this really hurt. “You and my best friend a whole 5 minutes after you broke up with me?” “Well it was a bit longer than 5 minutes.” Brax said quietly.  “And I’m supposed to be thankful for that, right?” Charlie gave a laugh of disbelief. “The fact that my best friend slept with you....the love...” Charlie trailed off as she once again wiped her eyes. “She knew what you meant to me, she knew and she just, she slept with you.” Charlie banged her hand off the back of the couch in anger. “Just get the rest of your stuff and get out.”  “But I promised her,” Ruby said. “She’ll be worried, I know she will be and I want to talk to her.”  so did you do the deed?” Ruby raised her eyebrows cheekily. April gave a little laugh as she felt herself going red in embarrassment. “We did.” April answered. “Oooh and?” Ruby nudged her friends arm. “I shared all the goss with Romeo; it’s your turn lady.” “It was....good,” April answered. “But it wasn’t like in the movies. You know when everything is amazing and perfect and just what they thought it would be,” April said. “It was....awkward and kind of painful.” “Well for a woman the first time can be,” Ruby answered. “And I totally know what you mean about the way they make it out to be in the movies,” Ruby gave a little laugh. “But as you get to know each other’s bodies it gets better.” “I know,” April nodded. “We’ve done it a few times and it’s getting eh....wow.” April gave an embarrassed laugh. “Actually Bianca is annoyed cos I’ve pretty much stayed over at Dexter’s every night since. Not that we’re like animals and do it every night, but I just like waking up next to him.”

This is sooooooooooooooooooooooooo ACE !!!!!!!, especially …….  Belle raised an eyebrow. “How old are you five?” Dexter took off the helmet. “I get bored during the summer holidays. Did you know that one photon torpedo could ruin your entire day?” “Random, but no, I’ll try my best to remember that one.”  . “There’s his girlfriend Nicole cheerleading, they’ve been seeing each other on and off since last year, since she transferred from a private school in the city. She caused quite an up roar on her first day.” “I bet.” Belle looked over at Nicole, who smiled her perky cheerleader smile.  “Age difference can be a good thing. You have to keep an open mind. For example, I’m 16 and you’re 18.”  “It’s perfect your name’s Belle.” “Why?” Dexter met Belle's eyes again and a smile danced on his lips. “Because you’re beautiful.” "Oh." Belle said finally, breaking the gaze by averting her eyes.

Four !!! AMAZING chapters !!!!! LOOOOOOVE it all, especially …….  Charlie nodded as she pursed her lips together, slightly saddened that he rejected her offer. “You could have come to say goodbye to Ruby this morning.” Brax sniggered. “She’s only going away for a few days,” Brax answered. “Not like she’s going off on some around the world trip is it?”  “What?” Romeo gasped. “No blanket is harsh but no kisses? Really, how can you be so cruel Miss Buckton?” “Well I couldn’t because I’d only be punishing myself too,” Ruby answered before leaning forward and placing a soft kiss onto his lips. “And I would be silly if I did that,” Ruby said before kissing him again. “Because I like kissing you,” Ruby once again kissed his lips. “It’s very very good,” Ruby kiss him once again. “Very good indeed.” Ruby smiled as she let this kiss get a little more passionate as their tongues made their way into each other’s mouths. “Mmm you told you’re mum you’d call her when you arrived to let her know you’re here safe.” Romeo said as he pulled back and rested his hand on her cheek. “Really?” Ruby questioned. “We are pashing and you are thinking about my mother?” Ruby widened her eyes. “Anything you need to tell me Romeo?”  “Brax doesn’t care about Ruby,” Charlie shook her head. “If he did he’d want me to have the baby to save her.”  Romeo looked to Ruby and had to admit she did look tired. “You’re chariot awaits,” Romeo smiled as he turned around and bent down slightly wanting Ruby to get on his back. “Up you get.” “You can’t carry me all the way back, Romeo.” Ruby sighed. “Course I can,” Romeo smiled. “Now c’mon, up you get.” Ruby smiled lightly as jumped up onto his back and wrapped her arms around her neck. “Chop chop then horsey,” Ruby kicked her legs against his side. Romeo laughed lightly as he made his way back down the road towards the campsite to join Dex and April swimming.  “We both want this; I know we both want this.” Brax said. “It doesn’t matter,” Bianca shook her head. “We can’t. Charlie is my best friend, and this would destroy her and she has enough to deal with with Ruby right now. And Heath....I have a baby with him and he’s your brother and technically still my boyfriend. We can’t,” Bianca said quietly as she tried her hardest not to kiss Brax in that moment. Brax exhaled lightly as he softly rubbed her cheek, before leaning down and placing a soft kiss onto Bianca’s lips. “Mmm,” Bianca smiled into the kiss, letting it deepened as Brax wrapped his hands around her waist, pulling her closer to him, so their bodies were pressed against each other’s. “Brax.” “Just say the word and I’ll stop.” Brax whispered before placing another kiss on her lips. Bianca moaned into the kiss and she wrapped her hands around his neck. “Don’t stop.” Bianca whispered before the kiss become more intense as she stepped back dragging him towards the stairs.  where he saw Bianca still in her red silk nightdress, in the middle of breast-feeding her son. “Sorry I’ll eh -” Brax rubbed the back of his head as he looked away from Bianca. “Didn’t have a problem when it was you kissing and nibbling on these last night,” Bianca said. “And they are just boobs. I’m sure you’ve seen them plenty a time before.” Brax once again cleared his throat. “Uhm yeah I guess.” Bianca exhaled as she took her son from her breast and held him up right against her as she tucked herself back into her nightdress.  “Okay so we’re both adults and we....we made a mistake,” Brax said as he fiddled with the bottom of his shirt nervously. “At least that’s what it was for me. You’re gorgeous and a great friend but that’s it. We’re friends, we’re not...I didn’t get anything from it, you know it wasn’t....well I just kept thinking yeah she’s hot but she’s not Charlie.” Brax spoke the last part tentatively as he looked at Bianca, waiting for her reaction and only hoped she would say that she felt the same and not that she wanted something more to develop between the two. Bianca stared blankly at Brax for moment before he could see a smile edging on her lips. “Thank God,” Bianca breathed a sigh of relief. “You’re a hot guy Brax but I just...I know I was with you last night but I just kept thinking Heath wouldn’t do it like that or it’s not Heath.” “Ouch,” Brax gritted his teeth. “But I guess that’s good. We both feel the same way about it. You know, we both got nothing from it. It’s a good thing.”  “Well done, a gold star for Romeo.” Ruby laughed, before she looked down to her phone and exhaled. “Still no signal?” Romeo questioned and Ruby shook her head before throwing the phone down onto the sleeping bag. “And I cannot be done with another thousand kilometre hike today either.” Ruby yawned as she crawled over to her bag and opened it up and took out a bottle of water and her tub of pills that she needed to take for the day.  “Babe, do you ever wish that we could be like we used to be? Like a normal couple?” Romeo exhaled as he put his hand on top of Ruby’s running his finger over her turtle charm. “I just love being with you and right now, yeah, maybe things do have to be a bit different sometimes but it’s what makes us, us.” Romeo answered. “For me, this is normal.” “You know you don’t need to stay with me just because you feel sorry for me,” Ruby said as she lifted her head up to face him, placing her elbow on the ground, and resting her head against her hand. “Plenty 18-year-olds would walk away from this kind of situation.” “I’m not with you because I feel sorry for you,” Romeo shook his head. “The same funny, friendly, passionate about what she believes in, kind spirited girl I fell for 2 years ago is still there,” Romeo smiled as he rubbed her cheek lightly. “We were each other’s first everything, and I plan on making you my last.” Romeo said. Ruby gave a soft smile. “So, you’ll still love me when I’m old, grey and wrinkly?” “Oh yeah,” Romeo nodded. “Very much.” Romeo pulled Ruby’s head down to face him and placed a soft but meaningful kiss onto her lips. The entire Leah/Bianca clash – incl. …..“How about sleeping with your best friend’s ex-boyfriend of all of 5 minutes last night?” Leah lowered her voice so no-one else could hear her, but her tone was angry and Bianca certainly picked up on that.  “Thank you.” Bianca smiled as she touched Leah’s arm. “Don’t,” Leah shrugged her off as she walked back around the counter. “I didn’t do this for you. I am not going to let her find this out like this,” Leah spat. “She doesn’t deserve to hear this in a diner full of people. You will go and tell her at her house.” “Leah please don’t make me do this,” Bianca shook her head. “She’s going through enough.” “You and or Brax are going to tell her,” Leah seethed. “Now I have work to do so get out of my diner.” “I haven’t paid for the latte yet.” Bianca said as she pointed down to her coffee. “Take the coffee and go.” Leah spat before she walked through to the kitchen. Bianca exhaled as she picked up the coffee and looked down to the buggy to her son. “Oh baby,” Bianca bent down and rubbed her son’s cheek softly. “You have to tell mummy what to do. What should she do?” Rocco let out some babbles and Bianca exhaled lightly before she stood up and looked up to Charlie who was still talking to Sid. She nodded her head lightly as she knew exactly what she needed to do.  “No no we won’t,” Leah shook her head. “You will go and talk to Charlie and tell her what you did because she deserves to know this and it’s better coming from you or Bianca than me.”  “But I hope you were at least sensible about it. Surely you can’t be stupid enough to sleep with your brother’s girlfriend and not use protection.” “I eh,” Brax picked up a handful of sand in his hand before letting it fall. “I didn’t use.....I don’t know if she is on the pill or whatever but we didn’t use a condom.” “Of course not,” Leah clicked her tongue. “If you were stupid enough to sleep together why the hell would you think about being safe?” “I -” “I don’t want to hear it, Brax,” Leah shook her head as she stood up from the beach. “Just go and tell her what you’ve done.” Leah spat before she walked away, leaving Brax to think about what he did. He knew keeping it from Charlie would probably turn back on him at one point and knew he didn’t really have a choice but to tell her.

This is such an ACE story !!!! especially …….  Ruby smiled lightly as she joined her mother on the couch. “I take it Grant said no?” Ruby questioned as she lightly rubbed her mother’s arm. “What makes you think that?” Charlie questioned as she turned the volume down on the TV and cleared her throat to compose herself. “Well you’re eating ice cream straight from the tub, you have a weepy movie on and you’re crying.” Ruby said as she leaned forward and wiped her hand over her mother’s cheek, wiping away the tears.  Charlie shook her head lightly as she pursed her lips together. “No I eh....I told him Grant was going to have the baby with me and he stormed out in his poor little Brax routine.”  “And there’s no way I won’t. This has to be done for Rubes and at the end of the day if I am going to have to choose between my boyfriend and my daughter, well.....Ruby’s always going to come out on top.”  “Ruby is my daughter and she is sick and I need to do whatever I can to help save her life. If I didn’t do this and she....” Charlie took a deep breath, trying to compose herself. “And she didn’t make it I would never forgive myself.” “And what if you have this baby and she still doesn’t make it?” Brax questioned. “Do you think it’s going to make it any easier for you to grieve for her?” “No,” Charlie shook her head. “But I’ll know that I tried everything I could to save her. Brax please put yourself in my shoes. Try to understand how I feel and why I am doing this instead of telling me it’s not right and.....and leaving me.” “I can’t Charlie,” Brax raised his voice. “Because I don’t have a child so I am never going to understand what you’re feeling or why on earth you want to do this ridiculous thing.”

GREAT chapter !!!! I’m soooooooo on Charlie’s side about all of this. I too would do ANYTHING and EVERYTHING to save Rubes …..and I don’t really care about Chax !!! Especially enjoyed this line though ……. “And are you going to have some super-fast pregnancy where the baby will be here next week?” Brax questioned. “You’re not even pregnant yet then you need to wait 9 months till the baby is born. Surely in that time you’ll find a match.”

I’ve just started reading this fic ….and its GREAT !!!!!!!!!! I especially liked ........  “I’ve always fancied getting married on a cliff top just like this.” Romeo smiled. “This you’re idea of a proposal?” Ruby gave a little laugh. “Because Romeo Smith I don’t find it that romantic. The setting, okay I’ll give you, but not the way you asked.” Romeo laughed lightly. “Not sure your mum would be pleased if I brought you home engaged.” “Yeah, well my mum doesn’t like the fact that I’ve got leukaemia either but she has to deal with that doesn’t she?” Ruby spat and Romeo looked down saddened. “I’m sorry, I didn’t mean to...” Ruby eyes went red and puffy. She hated living with leukaemia and wanted this all too end, she wanted to get better and get back to being a normal teenager again.  “Rubes, sweetie are you okay?” Charlie questioned. “No.” Charlie heard the quick reply before she opened the bathroom door to hear her daughter vomiting into the toilet. “Hey, it’s okay,” Charlie bent down beside her and held her hair back with one hand while she rubbed her back with the other. “Oh baby.” Charlie muttered under her breath. Brax stood back and watched with his hand over his mouth. He still wasn’t used to this.  “Remember when you were younger, oh 7 maybe 8, there was a time for a while when you’d always come into my bed.” Charlie smiled as she remembered their past. “That’s because you scared me by letting me watch that scary movie.” Ruby answered. Charlie laughed lightly. “Rubes, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang was not a scary movie.” “Well the child catcher man....woman.....person scared me,” Ruby screwed her face up. “So it was scary for me then.” “What made you come into my room and not mum and dad’s?” Charlie questioned as she continued to rub her daughters back ever so slightly. “Well back then I thought you were this cool hero big sister,” Ruby answered. “I knew you’d protect me.” “And mum and dad wouldn’t have?” Charlie scrunched her nose up. “Well yeah, but as I said, you were my big sister and I thought you were the coolest ever. I just wanted to be with you.” Ruby answered quietly before she yawned. “That’s sweet,” Charlie smiled. “And I so would have kicked anyone’s ass for you by the way. And still would.” “I know,” Ruby laughed. “You still this cool hero in my eyes,” Ruby answered. “Just my cool hero mum instead of big sister.” “Cool hero mum,” Charlie grinned. “I like the sound of that.” “Well what you’ve had to put up with lately, you deserved that title.” Ruby smiled. “I’ve not been through as much as you,” Charlie gently ran her hand through Ruby’s hair. “You’re the hero.” Charlie said. “The amount of courage your showing. You’re so strong and you’re dealing with all of this amazingly.” “I don’t have the choice but too,” Ruby answered. “I want to get better so I need to fight with all I have.” “And you will get better,” Charlie said hopefully. “Because I’m not letting you go. We’re going to get through this.” “Yeah,” Ruby answered. “I hope your right,” Ruby said before giving a yawn. “We’ll I’m going to try to sleep now. Love you mum.” “Love you too Rubes.” Charlie placed a soft kiss on her daughters temple before they both closed their eyes to sleep.  ““Probably because of what’s been happening with Ruby these past few months,” Bianca answered. “You’ve not exactly been on top of things.” Brax sniggered as Rocco settled in his arms. “I’ve not been that involved,” Brax answered as he sat down next to Bianca on the couch. “Charlie doesn’t really let me in much. She’s a bit hot and cold in that respect.” “Don’t take it to heart, Brax,” Bianca exhaled as she gently rubbed her son’s head. “She doesn’t mean to shut you out,” Bianca said. “She does love you so much and you’re probably helping her deal with this more that you think.”  “And can I get tested?” Bianca questioned. “If none of you are a match. I’ll help if I can.” “Eh, yeah,” Brax answered. “I’d just imagine you’d go talk to Sid.” Bianca smiled lightly, if Summer Bay was anything it was a tight-knit community and she had the feeling she wouldn’t be the only one willing to help Ruby if Charlie, Romeo or Brax wasn’t a match.  Charlie, Romeo, and Brax followed Sid and walked out to the corridor. “What the...” Romeo trailed off as he looked at the crowd to see Bianca, Irene, April, Dexter, Leah, Miles, Roo and Marilyn, all standing there waiting, wanting to be tested.  ““Yeah,” Ruby laughed once again, before letting it turn to tears. “April, I’m so scared I’m going to die. I don’t want to die.” Ruby cried as she hid her head in her hands. “Hey, hey, Ruby,” April stood up from the chair and stepped forward, wrapping her arms around her friend. “It’s okay. You’re going to fight this and you are going to get better. You’ll see.” April said before placing a soft kiss on Ruby’s temple, hoping and praying that she was right.  “Is it wrong that I feel weird about him helping us?” “No,” Charlie shook her head. “I hate having to go to Grant, but for you we needed too. Right now he isn’t the guy who hurt me, the guy who scared me, traumatised me...” Charlie trailed off. “He’s the man that could be a match and save your life.” “Feels like if he were a match, I’d owe him a hell of a lot.” Ruby said before biting her lip. “You’d owe him nothing sweetheart,” Charlie answered. “He owes this to us.” “To you,” Ruby said quietly. “If he can save me after what he did.”  She didn’t want him anywhere near her daughter. In her eyes all he was, was a sperm donor, he didn’t deserve to say he was the father of such a lovey sweet caring girl.  “Everyone was in black,” Ruby spoke quietly as she avoided eye contact with Charlie. “And everyone was there but Brax...” Ruby shook her head. “You were crying and Romeo and Bianca....” Charlie saw a tear fall from her daughter’s cheek. “Was it my funeral?” “Hey it was just a dream,” Charlie rubbed her daughter’s forehead. “It’s okay.” “Brax,” Ruby looked over to where he was standing. “You’re going to stay with mum, right?” Ruby questioned. “Why were you not in the dream?” “Maybe I’d gone out for the milk.” Brax laughed as he walked over to the other side of Ruby’s bed.  “Can he eh...stay over tonight?” Ruby questioned shyly. “It’s been a while since we’ve been able to -” Charlie raised her eyebrows. “Yes, yes, stop talking,” Charlie waved her hand out in front of her. “I don’t need to know about that. You’re my daughter, I’m your mother, just no.” Charlie scrunched her face up as Brax walked through with the coffees. He handed one to Charlie before taking a seat on the chair.  “Umbilical cord blood,” Brax read out loud. “Charlie what are you thinking?” Brax asked with a curious tone in his voice. “I’m going to have a baby,” Charlie replied. “Cells can be filtered from the umbilical cord blood and given to Ruby and she’ll be okay.” “Charlie....what?” Brax was shocked. “I’m going to have a baby to save Ruby.” Charlie spoke seriously as she looked up to Brax. “But how can you....” Brax rubbed his forehead. “You can’t guarantee that the baby would be a match?” “IVF,” Charlie replied. “They can do genetic tests on the embryos.” Charlie answered. “You’re really serious about this, aren’t you?” Brax questioned and Charlie nodded her head. “Okay, let’s do it, let’s have a baby.” “What?” Charlie questioned. “No, Brax I -” “Well you’ll kinda need some sperm Charlie, and our child would be Ruby’s half sibling so there’s every chance that it would be a match, right?” “Well yeah, but there’s more chance if I have a baby with Grant.” Charlie spoke tentatively. “With Grant?” Brax raised his voice, surprised. “Charlie you can’t seriously be thinking about having a child with him?” “I told you I would do anything to save Ruby,” Charlie replied. “So, yeah, I’m going to.” “Charlie this is crazy,” Brax shook his head as he held his hands out to the side. “Think about what you are wanting to do here. What he did to you in the past and you want to have another child with him. You’re supposed to want to have children with me.” “This isn’t about what Grant did or wanting a child with him,” Charlie raised her voice. “It’s about doing what I can to save my daughter.” “But -” “You said you'd help me with anything Brax,” Charlie said. “And this is what I need to do.” Brax exhaled as he rubbed his forehead. “Who’s to say Grant is going to agree to this? And Tracy will never agree.” “You leave that to me,” Charlie replied. “But I am doing this.” “Charlie, please think about this,” Brax pleaded. “We can have a child, we can do the IVF thing so we have more chance of a match, but you don’t need to go to Grant.” “I do,” Charlie answered. “Now you said you’d do anything I wanted and this is what I want, no, I need, I need to do this for my baby.” “Charlie how am I supposed to watch you being pregnant with another man’s child?” Brax questioned. “I need to do this Brax. If she was biologically yours then you’d understand how I feel right now, and you'd understand that I hate myself for not being a match for her and this is my chance to have a part in saving her life.” As Charlie spoke Brax noticed a lone tear rolling down her cheek. He exhaled lightly as he shook his head. “You’re right, I don’t know what you’re going through and I’m sorry but I can’t understand this.” Brax pursed his lips together as he looked away from Charlie. “Well if you don’t like it you know where the door is.” Charlie said before walking out of the kitchen and running off up the stairs, leaving Brax standing in the kitchen alone.  Although Ruby never lost all of her hair with the chemo, it had thinned a lot from the gorgeous thick brown waves she once had.  “Hey hey mum,” Ruby stepped forward and rubbed Charlie’s arms as she saw her mother well up with tears. “It’s okay. If you don’t want me to go, then I won’t,” Ruby sighed. “I don’t want to upset you any more than you already are. I just thought the time away from the bay, some nice fresh air and chilling with my mates would be good for me.” Charlie looked into her daughters eyes and could see this was something Ruby really wanted.  “It’s going to save my Ruby’s life. We need to do this. You still have your wife and your kids; you can go back to that life and have no worries at all, but me?” Charlie hit her chest. “My baby girl is sick. She is dying and I’m pretty sure Brax is going to leave me so I’m not going to have him in my life much longer, so if I lose Ruby too, I’ll have no one. Please Grant. I can’t lose my daughter. Please do this for me. After what you did to me, you owe me this. I’ve not gone to the police about what you did, you’ve got off with it and this is your chance to make it up to me. Please Grant, please.” Charlie pleaded with him. Grant exhaled lightly as he looked into Charlie’s eyes. He’d never seen anyone want anything so badly before.  “Nah,” Romeo shook his head. “He’s just kinda disappeared.” “Well he didn’t disappear. He went to Japan.” Ruby said. “Well yeah but he was only supposed to be there for 6 months,” Romeo said. “He’s been gone much longer than that. It’s like he just disappeared into a black Japanese hole.”

It's been a fantastic experince, and sooooooooo much fun H&A-ising the SW universe !!!!!...... AND many many thanks to ALL who have read/and or commented our crazy concoctions !!!

That was FANTASTIC !!!!!!, especially ,,,,  What oh yes, WHY HAVE YOU TWO GALAH’S STOPPED FIGHTING?” Emperor Alfatine bellows. “Because we can’t hear ourselves think with all your insane clapping and cheering that’s why” Xavier moans. “And why shouldn’t I be excited young Skywalker? You are about to accept your destiny of joining the darkside.”  “Oh my God I’m sorry Father are you hurt? I don’t want to hurt you if I can help it.” Xavier mutters as he runs to the bottom of the stairs where Darth Palmer is lying in a heap on the shiny floor of the Death Star. “That’s it my young Galah feel that rage inside you, let it guide you over to the darkside.” Alfatine chuckles from where he sits. “Have you hurt your head father?” Xavier asks kneeling down while cradling Palmer in his arms. “Er don’t be so dumb Xavier of course I haven’t. What do you this black helmet I wear is for why its to protect my noggin” Darth Palmer then leaps back to his feet. “LET’S FIGHT SOME MORE.”  “STONE THE FLAMING CROWS PALMER THAT WAS A FLAMING GOOD SHOT Alfatine shouts clapping he walks over to the collapsed balcony. Xavier Skywalker quickly gets to his feet, and before Darth Palmer or Alfatine can stop him he has run off to hide within the darkness of the Death Star.  Romeo tries his best to look angry. “What are you doing?” “My angry face I’m very upset with you right now Dex3PO” Romeo says.  “Would you believe this AprilD2? Lottie has found this large button behind these brushes here….” “I think you should stop praising Chief Lottie now Dex, by the way AprilD2 is looking at you I think she may very well turn into a killer droid any second” Princess Indi advises. Dex3PO nods in agreement as he takes a quick look at AprilD2 sulking. He then looks back at the big grey button in the wall to the forcefield generator with its blue writing on which says PUSH TO OPEN. “Romeo would you like to do the honours of pressing the button?”  “Oh Xavier where are you? You can’t hide forever.” Palmer says as he wonders how on earth Xavier had hid so well in the darkness of the Death Star, after all he was a Jedi and not Batman.  Yes you do have very strong feelings for this person. Dirty feelings in fact lustful feelings, you find this person hot you think of this person as a fit babe” Darth Palmer chuckles. “No stop it get out of my head” Xavier yells from somewhere in the darkness. “This person you have the hots for is….. drum roll please Alfatine.” A distant drum can all of sudden be heard in the distance. When Plamer can hear this he carries on. “You have the hots for your twin sister Xavier, I may just bring her over to the darkside I………”Darth Palmer stops talking as realisation of what he just said dawns on him. “WHAT YOU HAVE THE HOTS FOR YOU TWIN SISTER?”  “MY HAND, MY HAND Palmer yells pointing at Xavier. “What about it?” Xavier then peers at where Palmer is pointing. Xavier gulps as he sees that he is holding his fathers chopped off hand. “MY HAND YOU CHOPPED IT OFF MY SON GRRRRRRRRR.” “OWWWWWWWWWWWW” Darth Palmer screams and with that Xavier Skywaker screams also. Emperor Alfatine covers his ears as he tries his best to block their screams out.  Emperor Alfatine can feel his anger beginning to boil. He start to feel a strange tingling in his fingertips which he has never felt before. “What is wrong my Emperor?” Palmer asks. “I don’t know I feel queasy I……..” Blue shooting lasers begin to shoot from Alfatine’s fingers. “Oh cool that looks awesome” Xavier says going over to have a closer look. Xavier is suddenly caught up in Alfatine’s blue laser beam. “OH NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO THEIR NOT COOL THEIR PAINFUL OWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW” Xavier screams. “Strike me handsome these fingertip lasers are flaming good” Alfatine says sounding very impressed. “What it feel like my rEmpero?” Palmer asks. “It’s great gives me a sort of a flaming rush you know” Alfatine says smiling.  “Oh is this the ideal time for some evil laughter my Emperor?” Palmer asks. “Why yes Palmer it flaming well is” Emperor Alfatine answers. And with that both Darth Palmer and Emperor Alfatine throw their heads back laughing the most evil laugh they had ever laughed. EVER Ill post the next chapter ….. as soon as I can !!!!

I LOOOOOOOVE this fic sooooooo much !!!! ADORED that !!!!!, especially ,,,,  “Yes, that’s it. My token cameo. I’ll be in my office if you need me.” Admiral Morag left the deck.  There was a long pause. “Let me get this right,”Irene attempted. “You think we should risk the lives of the entire fleet on the possibility that Romeo might not mess everything up.” Sasha considered this, looking for something that might give her an edge. “He’s got Dex3PO with him,”she offered at last.  “Well, how about some spaceship dogfights?” “Great!” Felix offered her the console. “You want to go first?” Sasha gestured pointedly to the view out the cockpit. “Oh. You mean in real life?”  There was a pause before the hatch opened and a Rivertrooper stuck his head out. “No, we don’t want any double glazing. Although have you got any of General Heath’s old pills?”  With the Rivertroopers distracted by the overwhelming opposition of a bunch of hairy geeks throwing rocks at them,  Romeo took a deep breath and typed in numbers. “1234.” Nothing happened. “Um, 1235?”  Romeo cradled the fallen Indigo. “I swear, by my surfboard, that I will avenge your death!” Indigo opened an eye. “I’m not dead.”  “So’s AprilD2,”Dex3PO added joyfully before he remembered himself. “But I still like Chief Lottie more than you.”  Liambacca appeared next to her. “Ah, the two sexiest people I know,”Dex3PO sighed.  “This is Green Leader,”came a familiar voice. Casey looked puzzled. “Jai? Is that you? How did you get here?” “Oh, it’s just what I do. What’s the problem?”  Jai’s ship crashed into the bridge and exploded. “Oh my god, they killed Jai!”Casey cried. “Again?”General Irene asked. “That boy’s gonna get a complex.”  “The rebels launched a suicide attack!”the officer on the other end protested. “Even if we hit them, they just keep on coming at us like flaming crows!” “Well…stone the flaming crews!”Alfatine retorted.  Xavier watched in horror as the Death Star’s weapons came online and blasted the biggest rebel ship that didn’t have anyone important on it to pieces.

ADORED that !!!!! Soooooooooo humourous !!!!! especially ,,,,  “Romeo please oh your tickling me, oh stop it” Indi screams with laughter.  “Oh Romeo stop it please, STOP TRYING TO HAVE YOR WAY WITH ME.”  “Well Princess I am not normally a quitter at things but without the Sat Nav how on earth are we going to find the command bunker?”  Abroad the Blaxlandium Falcon Sasha is awaiting instructions from General Irene. “Ok darl are we ready?”  Five Rivertroopers stood guard at the back door to the command bunker. Each of them look on the brink of falling sleep from boredom. Meanwhile Princess Indi has gotten changed into her very fetching metal bikini that she has managed to keep hold of from their ordeal with Harvey the Hutt. One of the Rivertrooper’s hear a rustle in the brushes. But instead of it being some kind of wildlife that as caused the rustle as he had first expected it would of been he sees a long and slender mouth watering leg presented itself. The rest of the River troopers wake at the wolf whistles of the over excited River trooper as Indi walks slowly over to the group of them. The joys of excitement grow beyond belief as in turn Indi gives each of them a very slow and sexy lap dance. Once all the River troopers were too turned on by her dance moves to notice Romeo and the others quickly sneak up to the back door of the command bunker, and make their way inside.  “Er no thanks, hey if you think you can win me over to the darkside with a friendly barque you are very much mistaken” Xavier says stepping forwards. “Flaming hell I was only trying to be friendly, but no matter over time you will come to call me Alfred.” Emperor Alfatine laughs which causes him to come close to choking on his sausage. “I think you are mistaken about your claim I……” “Oh no I think you will find you are the one who is mistaken about a great many things.” Darth Palmer holds out Xavier’s lightsaber to Emperor Alfatine. “Oh yes, well stone the flaming crows Xavier you wont be needing this any longer. You have no flaming choice but to join Johnny boy and I. JOIN THE DARKSIDE.” “NEVER I WILL NOT DO IT” Xavier screams. “It is pointless to resist my son” Darth Palmer says breathlessly. “No it’s not my friends will be here……..” “Ah those great galahs are heading right into my flaming trap you goose” Emperor Alfatine laughs. “Everything is happening as I have foreseen, you might as well just admit defeat and have a sausage” Emperor Alfatine says holding out a burnt sausage in some the barque tongs to Xavier. I’ll post the next chapter …….soon !!!!

Many thanks everyone on the comments bout the COOOOOOOOL poster. Pembie, the Falcon is – effectively – within Darth Palmer’s helmet. Another reference point is that it’s just above Obi-Miles’ head!!!! That was sooooooooooooooooo ACE !!!!! LOOOOOOOVED it !!!!! especially ,,,,  Indigo stared into his eyes in a vacant, far away manner. “I know. Somehow I’ve always known.”  “Probably. I think someone was more bothered about the dramatic revelations than working out the family tree.”  Could we have a goodbye snog before I head off to my certain death?” “Well, I would have done but then you told me you were my brother and it all got rather inappropriate.” “Darn. Knew I should have kept that to myself.”  The two Rivertroopers looked at each other in confusion. “Yeah, we know,”said one. “You’re our prisoner. That’s what we do with prisoners.” “I know. But I thought I’d try and look calm and in control by making out that it was my idea.”  “Okay. So, do you want to go and kick a ball around in the back yard or something? Get to know each other, have a bit of father/son bonding?”  “Nor will I ever have anything to do with the rebels. They would want me to swap my cool black armour for gold or white or something that doesn’t look as sinister.”  “What do you mean?”Indi asked in a panicky voice. “It’s not my job to get him up. It’s not like we’re family or anything.”  “What, a bunch of hairy geeks with rocks taking on a heavily armoured enemy with guns and giant attack vehicles? What could possibly go wrong?”

Many thanks everyone for your ACE comments !!!!! As a treat for you all, I’m uploading a FANTASTIC Art Deco style poster for the original film that I bought at a market last night!!!! …… .......complete with some River Troopers, Darth Palmer, the Blaxlandium Falcon, AprilD2, Dex3PO, Romeo Solo, Princess Indi, Liambacca, Obi-Miles Kenobi and last [and, well, least] Xavier Skywalker !!!!

LOOOOOOOVED that !!!!! Sooooooooooooooooo ACE, especially ,,,,  “Yes but that was before it got all awkward and icky and… Ooh, look, shiny!” Xavier desperately tried to distract her attention from subjects like low to medium level incest.  Roo looked at Xavier. “I’m glad you’re going on this mission, Xavier Skywalker. And don’t worry, I understand awkward revelations about who your father is. I remember when your mother and I first started the rebellion…” Xavier gaped at her. “Wait! You knew my mother? And you’ve never mentioned this before? Who was she? What was her name? What happened to her?” “Yeah, come on, everyone aboard,”Romeo interrupted, dragging Xavier towards the ramp. “But this is important back story!” “Yeah, no-one cares. You can find it out in a decade or two.”  Xavier was sitting at the rear of the shuttle when he heard Darth Palmer’s voice in his head. “Just you wait ’till I get you home, boy.”  Most of the Rivertroopers were taken out in the first salvo. Two of them suddenly seemed to remember that they never hit anyone and decided to run, jumping onto speeder bikes and shooting off into the forest. “We can’t let them warn anyone!”Xavier realised. “Come on, sis!” He saw Indigo looking at him in confusion. “Er…cissy! Last one to catch them’s a cissy!”  The Rivertrooper fired at him and Xavier used the lightsabre to knock the blast straight back at him, burning a hole in the Rivertrooper’s chest. “Just when I get a shot on target,”the Rivertrooper complained as he toppled off his bike.  “Even worse! Have you any idea how much the insurance costs?” I’ll post the next thrilling chapter soon !!!!

That was sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo funny, especially ,,,,  Darth Palmer, “GUM NOW WE CAN’T HAVE THE EMPEROR CATCHING YOU CHEWING THAT.” Sighing the trooper opens a small slot at the front of his white helmet and spits the chewing gum into Darth Palmer’s hand. Then Darth Palmer turns and sweeps away.  Darth Palmer, “Errrr yes I do have trouble catching my breath sometimes, but General Heath gives me some pills to help me with it.”  Emperor Alfatine and Darth Palmer start to laugh their most evil sounding laughs. Emperor Alfatine turns casually to face Darth Palmer cutting him off mid laugh. Emperor Alfatine, “Stone the flaming crows, did I say you could laugh Palmer?” Darth Palmer, “I didn’t know I needed your permission.” Emperor Alfatine, “Well you do so flaming shut up. I’m much better at it than you anyway.” Darth Palmer, “Oh shut it you great galah.” Emperor Alfatine, “Never call me a galah again.” Darth Palmer, “Yes master.”  Obi Miles, “Ah I see do not worry Rabbit will always be with you, I see her quite often myself.”  Xavier, “I can’t do this Miles it’s even harder than the HSC.”  Obi Miles, “Then the Emperor has all ready won. You Xavier Skywalker was our last hope.” Xavier, “Jezz way to guilt trip me.”  Xavier thinks, he is slightly worried when his mind doesn’t seem to want to cast itself away from all warnings of being careful of blonde people, and of all the blonde encounters he had found himself in as this story has progressed.  Xavier, “But I find her so hot and sexy.” Obi Miles, “Well I should stop thinking of your sister in that way Xavier.” Xavier, “Indi’s my sister noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.”  Sasha Calrissian, “Well there is a nasty rumour going around that you would end up quitting if the job got to difficult.”  General Elijah Johnsonna, “Come sit I would like to introduce you all to our new fleet command teacher Henri" Brown. She will take you through the plans of attack on Darth Palmer’s new death star. Casey Antilles, “Wooooooooooooooooooooo she can teach me a thing or two.” Commander Henri Brown stands before the rebels fluttering her eyelashes, as well as making sure her long slender legs are on show for everyone one to gaze at in awe. Princess Indi, “Oh boys put your tongues away please.”

Its’ certainly no fun being Dex in the fic!!!!! but the story is AWESOME !!!!!!! LOOOOOOOVE it, especially …..  He’s thinking about April and her uncomplicated relationship with Xavier, and the fact that no one has tried to kill her because of it. And then he thinks of Casey and the fact that there must have been something between them, and Dex foolishly believed in it enough to risk his life for it.  Casey had started talking to him. And it was like a switch had been flicked on inside Dex’s head, and he finally realised that he didn’t have to scream to get noticed, or play the oddball card to get any scraps of attention. Casey sought him out, and didn’t roll his eyes or poke fun when Dex made obscure pop culture references. And then -- well, the rest is history.  “No, no, I know. I just -- I’d feel better about it if I knew you weren’t sitting here all alone.”  “Says the person who’s never fallen off a horse,” Dex replies.  So that is how Dex ends up at Ruby’s aforementioned party.  It was dilapidated, with the front door openly swinging on its hinges, while the patio was completely lopsided.  at Ruby, who is talking to them very animatedly. She’s sort of swaying, Dex realises, so she’s obviously been here for a while.  Dex nods and Ruby leans into his body, two hands flung around his neck in a sort of sideways hug. She giggles into his chest.  And God, Dex’s brain is almost going to short circuit because he just has no idea what he’s feeling anymore. It’s like he’s in the middle of a raging river and on one river bank there is Casey and on the other is April, and they’re both holding out their hands and Dex just has to grab on to one before he gets swept away.  And Dex gets the impression that she’s sort of breaking up with him, which is so bizarre because last time Dex checked they weren’t actually dating. And what is even stranger, is that it actually hurts.  Dex is ready to mumble his thanks and just side-step them so he can just get home, but he looks up and catches the familiar blue of his eyes, and Casey is staring down at him.
