тАЬDonтАЩt make a fool of yourself.тАЭ Been caught Sandor by the arm. тАЬI donтАЩt
know how you can step onto a slipship without learning the first thing about
interdimensional physics.тАЭ

тАЬIt isnтАЩt true?тАЭ Nelly slumped against Zola in relief.

тАЬIt could be true.тАЭ Ydt beamed at his fellow colonists. тАЬThatтАЩs the beauty of
it. We just have no way of knowing.тАЭ

Been poked Ydt in the chest. тАЬEver think of trying out for the Artful
Exaggerators, Ydt?тАЭ

Ydt grinned and poked him back. тАЬI recruited you to the Exaggerators,
Watanabe.тАЭ

тАЬMy point exactly.тАЭ

тАЬYouтАЩre hot, Been,тАЭ Zelmet Emsley traced a medfinger just under BeenтАЩs
hairline. тАЬYour temperature is 39.3 degrees. Maybe you should go back to your
hutch to rest?тАЭ

тАЬIs the captain here yet?тАЭ said Been.
 тАЬAt least sit down.тАЭ

тАЬHappy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear...тАЭ

Been found that he was holding a plate with a slab of spice cake with a light
green frosting that rippled like waves on a pond. On top of the frosting floated the
dark green letters p, y, and B.

IlonaтАЩs huge belly was hard as a fist. It bumped against him as she went up on
tiptoes to whisper into his ear.

тАЬHarlen put you up to this.тАЭ Her voice tickled him. тАЬHeтАЩs using you to harass
me. Make me let him go.тАЭ


тАЬBut IтАЩve never even met the Captain,тАЭ said Been.

Her face was too close to his. тАЬThat doesnтАЩt mean anything.тАЭ Been could feel
her anger burning his cheek. He wondered what would happen if he kissed her. No
part of her personality had been dampened: sheтАЩd probably punch him.

тАЬIs the captain here?тАЭ

She snorted.

тАЬThereтАЩs a secret, isnтАЩt there?тАЭ
