That was ACE !!!!!!!!!, especially .......  .“So, er, what have you been up to?” Ruby gave a slight smile and patted her baby bump.  .“Look, I love Charlie and I’m glad she’s my mum.But I still think about my other mum sometimes.What she’d think of me if she was still here, how much I want to tell her something, how much I wish she could see her grandchild.But I’m not gonna push away the people I’ve got now because of that.”  “Will you two be quiet?”Ric hissed,“You’ll get us thrown out!” Ruby looked round and saw Julie glaring sternly at the four of them.“Sorry!”she called in a stage whisper, “We’ll be good!”  “Because I was in jail!” His face was a picture of shock, as if he couldn’t quite believe he’d just told her.For a moment, Nicole was shocked too.Then she slowly walked over to him and put her arms round him in a hug, pressing her head against his chest.After a few seconds, his arms encircled her in response, his chin resting on top of her head.As they held each other in silence, she found herself wondering just how long it had been since someone had hugged him.

Oh boy !!!! THAT was SUBLIMELY hilarious !!!!!!! especially .....  ALL of the sequence that starts with …. “I got one! I got one!” Xavier shouted excitedly as he blew up one of the Imperial fighters. “Great!” Romeo shouted back sarcastically. “Let’s go for a drink and forget about the three that are still trying to kill us.”  Heath was partly relieved but mostly confused. “Ah, four fighters destroyed? Rebel ship escaping with plans of the Death Star to alert the rebel fleet? Which bit was the good news?” “Explain it to him,” Palmer told Braxtin. “Use small words.”  “No,” Xavier said in an appropriately sad voice. “Not at all. I only knew him about a day, actually. But he was an important character so we need to give his death a sense of significance.”  “Oh. Yeah. Right.” Indigo shrugged. “Actually, I’d kind of forgotten about that. We’ve been too busy feeling sad about the death of some bearded guy I never spoke to.”  “Ah, well, actually Mrs. Smart is the base tea lady. But she likes us to call her the quartermaster-sergeant because it makes her sound important.”  AprilD2 bleeped a comment. “No, General Johnsonna did not used to have an eye patch,” Dex3PO told her.  “There’s something further away than the City?”  Casey as Wedge !!!!! COOOOOOOL !!!!  “Right,” Braxtin agreed. “With this Death Star, we can destroy Reefton Lakes 4, the rebel base, the rebels, the rebels’ children and the rebels’ pets. And then, just for fun, we’ll bomb the North Pole and kill Father Christmas. And then we can laugh evilly.”

Oh boy !!!! ADORED that chapter, especially .....  “Yeah, um. It’s not a big deal or anything -- well, it’s sort of a big deal -- unless you don’t want it to be, in which case this doesn’t have to be a full production like Spring Awakening. In fact, I’d much prefer it if it didn’t turn out like Spring Awakening, with me crying over your grave and --"  and Dex is definitely not going to talk about his growing desires to have sex with April in front of them all. Xavier will look uncomfortable, and Casey will probably laugh, and Ruby will want to know what she can do to help.  Xavier is leaning in quite close, whispering something into April’s ear, and Dex feels the heat rush to his cheeks. But Dex is not the jealous type, he doesn’t act on impulse. He thinks and plans and evaluates; but April is looking up at Xavier with those long, dark eyelashes and smiling at him, before Xavier moves his finger delicately over April’s cheek.  April is on top of him in a dress that Dex is only now realising is very short.  It is the single greatest syllable to ever be uttered, ever. And April’s voice is low and hushed and Dex just wants this even more. He feels himself harden under her touch, the feeling of her hand on his chest as she places it there, keeping herself flush on top of Dex’s body.  fingers messily tracing patterns into her shoulder, her chest, and the curves of her perfect skin.  “Not this again,” April replies, exasperated. “Dex, the only one who is making me think about leaving you right now is you.” And okay, that stings a bit. “And if you think that by having sex with me is the only way to keep me around, then you were sorely mistaken.”

It’s GREAT that Brax isn’t too injured – only sprains !!

That was soooooooooooo BRILLAINT, especially ......  “Well, there’s plenty to see at the moment,”Ruby noted, feeling her stomach.She was now four months gone and her pregnancy was starting to become obvious. “You should worry,”Matilda observed.A month further along than Ruby, her curve was even more pronounced.“I have to give the dress maker new measurements every week.”  Indi suddenly found she couldn’t meet his gaze, couldn’t answer.She just took the money from his hand. “Is that all, sir?” Xavier gave a sigh of disappointment.“I’ll see you around.”  ALL !!!!!!! of the Ruby/Romeo scene !!!!!  “Okay, that was a pash,”Casey decided,“Um..?” Dexter shrugged casually.“Wanted to know what it felt like.Wasn’t really paying attention the first time round.”  Dexter looked after him with a warm sense of satisfaction…for a few seconds before he began to analyse the conversation they’d just had and his expression switched to one of puzzlement.“Okay.Now I’m really confused.”

MANY thanks everyone for the BRILLIANT comments !!!!

GREAT opener, especially ......  What Dex never factored into his plans was having a girlfriend -- a gorgeous, smart, talented girlfriend -- at the age of eighteen, and suddenly the things that Dex previously had planned down to a tee, have had a spanner thrown into them, twisting them askew. The giant, metal spanner being the fact that April wants to become a doctor,  But maybe Dex is being a bit melodramatic. “You’re being melodramatic,” April tells him.  “You watch too much Grey’s Anatomy. I love you, Dex,” April tells him. And yep, there is that feeling again. Dex can’t help but smile.  There’s a shrill noise and Dex startles himself backwards, making an embarrassingly high squawk as he jumps back. April is digging around in her small purse, pulling out her phone.

This is sooooooooooooooooo funny, especially .....  “Why would extreme hunger and boredom come into play at a quick town meeting?” “Well you know my brother Mr Stewart……..”  “Yeah Gina and me have stuff we would like to get down too” shouted John. “John please” Gina said blushing. “What I thought with Xavier away and all I thought we would make the most of a empty house”  “No more sex Indi please have we got to keep trying all these different positions?” “But Romeo we are near the end” Indi protests earning a glare from Sid. “But I mean….”  “Oh did we forget to mention that?” Alf asks rubbing his head from getting wacked by one of Romeo’s clutches.  “You want me to be in charge of rationing the food?” grinned Miles.  “You lied to me Sid” he said. “You said I was to injured to work and have to stay on these clutches. Oh I see what you were trying to do” “I was trying to stop you and Indi going at it like a pair of rabbits. You not long ago got married I don’t want my daughter getting pregnant just yet” Sid explained.  “Well Dex who would of thought your love making would be that good to bring the roof down on top of us” “Oh Jezz stop it” Dex says blushing.

ENJOYABLE update, especially ....  Claire was wide awake. “Didn’t I just put you down?” Brax asked He sniffed her bottom “Someone needs a change.” Brax said  Brax slowly walked down the stairs he was half way down the stairs and then he lost he’s footing and fell the rest of the way down.

COOOL update, especially,  ‘I don’t know. I do, but I don’t at the same time. Once I know I can’t un-know. What if they’re completely crazy?’ Annie asked.  Brax smiled back. ‘They’re good like that. When you come here you get a fresh start,’ Brax said. ‘And you deserve it Annie.’ He put a hand on her shoulder.

VERY CUTE chapter, especially .....  Wait so I get to do just about everything before Claire and Hayden” Darcy asked “You bet” Heath responded Darcy giggled and hugged Heath  “Guess who’s hungry” the nurse said Ruby feed Hayden and looked over at Casey who was sound asleep. After Hayden was finished Ruby headed her back to the nurse. Shortly after they left she lay awake for an hour. Casey was still snoring. Ruby let out a giggle

WAAAAAAAAAAY funny, especially ....  Charlie folded her arms waiting for more she couldn’t believe what she was hearing, how could she of not known something as important as her daughter not being round? she was a good mother well she thought so.  “I didn’t even notice she had gone what sort of mother does that make me?” Charlie asked sadly. “A sexy one” Brax said as he went forward kissing her forehead, Charlie looked up at him all gooey eyed. Leah and Bianca rolled their eyes.  “No its flaming Mary Poppins, who the flaming hell do you think it is? I have been trying to get through to you for ages now where have you been?”

MANY thanks for the AWESOME comments !!!! I LOVE writing Rikki ….. she’s soooo feisty & smart-mouthed [h2o’s Gypsy as such] …… and as much as I kinda like Charlie/Brax in real H&A, I LOOOOOVE Charlie with a gal pal WAAAY too much in my fics ....so, yeah, she's muchly detached from the River Boys !!!! Should update within the next week or so !!!!

VERY enjoyable update, especially .....  Romeo thought about this.“There’s only the two of us work there.If I get promoted, I’ll be your boss.” “No, not at the garage…”Ric took a deep breath.“Okay, you remember Lucas isn’t coming.And Drew’s off back packing somewhere so he won’t be able to make it.So…I realise being third choice isn’t exactly flattering but would you be my best man?”  “Yeah, fine,”Xavier confirmed before suddenly contorting his face into a look of frustration,“How could she think we’d be better off with her not being here?That she wasn’t worth anything?She was worth ten of me.No girlfriend, no smarts…I’m a lifeguard!” “I’m a lifeguard,”Casey reminded him. “Yeah but you’re a cool lifeguard.The sort that runs down a beach in slow motion and rescues people and has everyone pretending they’re drowning so they get mouth to mouth.”He paused.“Which I have never done.”  “Okay.I’ll try and see you again before I go.”Casey paused for a moment and then kissed Dexter on the lips. Dexter looked at him bemused for a moment.“What was that for?” Casey shrugged.“You looked like you needed it.” “So, that’s what you do now you’re gay?If a guy’s looking down, you kiss him?” “No.Only the cute ones.”Casey grinned and headed out the door. Dexter looked after him for a few seconds before looking at Xavier.“Casey thinks I’m cute.”Xavier snored.“Well you’re no use.”

VERY waaaaaaaaaaay funny update, especially .....  ALL the drug chat, e.g “What are those for? Darth Palmer asks bringing the odd little packet close to his face, Struggling to read the packet, as seeing through his big black helmet tended to be quite difficult.  “FOR ALL THE HATRED OF THE DARKSIDE WILL YOU TWO STOP FIGHTING LIKE A COUPLE OF GIRLS? I HAVENT GOT A COLD” Darth Palmer’s voice boomed casing Braxtin and General Heath to jump back in fright.  “Look there Lord Palmer he has left a track of food crumbs behind we can find him”  “I don’t know I fly to space stations on my tours I don’t come abroad them for a quick tea break and to have a quick look round you know? I need to be quick before Harvey steals all my sight seeing spots” Romeo Solo says.  “I said only for you. You sexy hot piece of metal I will show you my bolts if you show me yours” Dex3P0 replies.  “Oh for God sake your record label dropped you. Your songs even suck in this galaxy aswell, oh wait did I say they suck? I meant they are that good they are too good of a treat for anybody’s ears to be blessed with. Just get in there” How are our heroes going to escape …. That’s for me to write !!!!

This is DIFFERENT !!!!! Just read it all so far, adn especially loved ......  “Yes I just thought I would take a run and a jump at the bed that is all”  “DEXTER WAKE UP” Bianca said loudly  “Well Indi has this book about different sexual positions and we….”  “I wonder if there any polar bears on this Island?” Dex asked.  “Well the reason they are panicking is simple. They are not enjoying the view I doubt they could care about it, not to say its not a nice view but you see Dex we are lost and stranded, helpless with no way of getting back home. The only thing we have is each other this God forsaken island and the sand warming our feet.”  “Sorry Kelly I cant help you these jellyfish are blocking my way, there’s no way I’m getting stringed I’m sure they are moving closer”  “Do you think this jellyfish will make a good meal tonight? Also do you think they taste like jelly?” Dex asked.  “Is this the so called awesome thing you have found? A flipping Walkman Xavier said as grabbed hold of Dex by his t shirt lifting him into the air.  “No you know what The Big Chief said the female not picked will be silicified to the one we worship” said Harry focusing his telescope.  “The book is called Being Stranded on a Deserted Island for Dummies and I found it in that shipwreck over there” Dex said.  “Oh I’m sorry I forgot to eat a lot of carrots of course I can’t see anything I can hear water dripping through” Dex said.  “Sorry I’m not very good at double knots” Ruby said.  “Yeah we didn’t even have to use my tranquiliser darts I was looking forward to giving mine a go” Larry said a hint of disappointment in his voice.  “Well yes you could say Dex is a bit of a whack a doodle”  “There wasn’t a password was there?” “Of course not Dex how silly would that be?” Casey said grinning.  “How fertile are you to you find it easy to breed?”  “This tribe sound like they would get on well with Marilyn she’s into tarot cards and stuff used send my Dad bonkers” Dex said.  “We managed to get away. We all saw a statue of their so called God it looked very much like Dex, so the tribe bowed down to him and then ran away in fright” Ruby said laughing.

ACE update !!!! especially ........  I guess none of us knew just how much that cost her, deep down.I hope she can see us now, see how many people cared about her, how many are gonna miss her.We might have left it a bit late to show her but…I hope she knows.” Bianca spoke quietly to Liam.“This isn’t right, us doing this.Neither of her parents bothered to show up. Mum sent flowers.Her dad’s PA sent flowers.Couldn’t they care just once?”  Nearby, Romeo and Ruby’s attention was focused on Xavier, who was sat on some steps.“Talk to him,” Ruby hissed.  “You’ve just buried your girlfriend.Drink it.” Dexter took a long sip and screwed his face up.“You actually drink this?”  “Really?You don’t get many girls called that…Oh!”Dexter looked at Casey in surprise.“You?Really?” Casey gave a nonchalant shrug.“When did you work that out?”  “Hey, have you ever known me do something daft?”She put a finger on his lips before he could reply. “Rhetorical question.”

OMG !!!! THAT was sooooooooooooooo funny, especially .......  “A parsec is a unit of distance, not time,” Obi-Miles told him. “Yep. This ship is so fast it made the distance shorter.”  “Well, according to you, I’m not supposed to be able to use the Force at all, am I?” Obi-Miles walked down the ship’s ramp, a satisfied look on his face.”  An image of a man appeared on the screen. “This is Senator Sid Organa. The Death Star’s here! We’re all going to die! I’m not even supposed to be in this! Damn those Special Editions! Aargh!”  “The Jedi?” Heath looked at Palmer. “I thought you and Emperor Alfatine wiped all the Jedi out when you came to power?” “We did,” Palmer agreed. “But Obi-Miles escaped.” “Oh. Right. But he’s the only one, right? There aren’t any more Jedi out there in secret hideaways plotting the downfall of the Empire?”  “There is something curiously familiar about him, much as there was with the princess. As if they remind me of someone I once knew, as if there is some deep connection between us…” Palmer shook his head dismissively. “Oh, well, I’m sure it’s nothing important. Worry about it another day.”  Romeo stared at him derisively. “You’ve got to be joking. No-one with any brains is going to fall for a trick like that.” “We’re dealing with Rivertroopers.”  “That’s ‘we’ including me,” Romeo interjected as he entered as well. There was a smashing noise from the corridor behind him but he pretended not to notice. “So if there’s any reward, I should get it.” Indigo was still looking at Xavier. “Hey, you’re blonde, same as me. None of my family are blonde but you and I are. It’s like there’s some sort of connection between us.” “Hey, I’m blonde too!” Romeo pointed out. “Yeah, but that’s just a coincidence.”  Indigo stared at him aghast. “That’s it? We’re trapped in the middle of the most powerful space station ever built and that’s your plan? And what is that crashing noise out there?” “Um, that’s Liambacca,” Romeo admitted. Indigo walked past him to find the corridor trashed and Liambacca holding up the mangled remains of his handcuffs triumphantly. “He’s a musician. He’s used to trashing rooms.” Indigo stared at the trio in horror. “You’re my rescuers? Dumber, Even Dumber and Really Dumb?” She snatched up one of the unconscious Rivertroopers’ weapons. “Right. Follow me.”

WOAH !!! lots happening in that chapter ..... COOOOL that Rubes is a mum and BIG that Chax are engaged !!!

COOOOL chapter, especially .... Heath shook his head. ‘I deserve what I get,’ he said sadly. ‘Oh mate, you don’t deserve to get your face bashed in,’ Brax said. ‘She didn’t deserve it either,’ Heath said softly.

This fic continues to be TOTALLY ACE !!!!!, especially .......  “I’m not sure whether I’m being stupid by talking to you or not, but…” Ruby trailed off as she tried to form into words what she was thinking. “I need you to wake up mum. I don’t think that I could go on if I lost you too. I need you to wake up, and I need you to yell at me for not doing my homework or going to a party. I need you to come home from work and then attempt and fail at cooking me dinner. I need you to chat with me about the guys that we’re dating,” Ruby continued, and she could feel the tears starting to run down her face. She took a deep breath as she tried to sum up what she was feeling. “I just need my mum,” Ruby finished quietly. She took Charlie’s hand and squeezed it gently, and rested her head against the bedrail as she watched Charlie. ……………. AND  how you could tell for the 1st moment [“Daryl Braxton, to what do I owe the pleasure of this call?” came her sarcastic reply as he knew she would.] that it was Morag Brax was taking to.

Ironically, Hayden Panettiere's charecter in "Heroes" was called Claire Bennett !!!!!

LOVE it !!!!, especially ......  “If you want to have a cop girlfriend and a baby don’t let me stop you” Heath said  “I know we are young and all but Ruby is pregnant” Btw, with the baby names being Claire & Hayden, are you a “Heroes” fan ......or is that just a coincidence???

I forgot he's not on UK screens yet !!!!

COOOOL update, especially .....  “I told you an hour it’s been at least 3” Charlie told Brax  “Wow I’m going to be an aunty and Casey is going to be an Uncle” Ruby said
