Rachael Yamaguchi walked into the quaters that were presently empity as
mom had been gone on the USS Yorktown for the past couple of days now,
there was no telling when Commander Yamaguchi would be returning but she
had heard through the grapevine that the USS Shadow was returning to the
station.

Rachael looked at the replicator before ordering a pitcher of her prefered drink
which at the present time was Orange punch with a twist of Pineapple and Lemon
for extra flavour, she lifted the pitcher as the doorbell beeped at her.

She raised an eyebrow as she turned to face the door. "Its Open!" she called out,
thinking that why would Paul knock?. That man was really too formal at times but
the thought died as her two adopted cousins came barraling through the door
followed by her aunt, one Commander Celeste Yamaguchi.

Pasha was much more massive then she was, almost the same size as the woman
who had adopted him and his twin into her family, he topped out at almost six foot even
and massed over two hundred and fifty pounds, his medium blue skin shone in the light
and his mane of white hair was tied back and curled up in dreadlocks, something
that always made Rachael smile as she turned her attention to the Andorian Shen,

Pava traded size fo her looks which were enough to make Rachael and even Elizabeth
both envious, she wore her silvery hair long but at present it was tied back in a simple
but eligant ponytail before Rachael turned her attention to their mother, she was human
but she was their mother in every sense of the word, Celeste Yamaguchi was a real
shocker with her looks.

Celeste grinned. "Hey Rachael, you don't mind us dropping by... do you?"

"What sort of question is that aunt Celeste.." Rachael placed her drink on the
table top before her cousins got to her. Pasha picked up Rachael in a big bear hug
as the smaller teen smiled. "Hey Pasha." she then greeted the Shen who likewise
picked her up in a hug, Pava's grip was much weaker then pasha's was but she
prefered finnese over her twins brute strength.

Celeste grinned as she watched the three teenagers interact before she asked the
question that seemed to hang in the air. "So... where's your mom?"

"She's off on the Yorktown, doing something or other... she's new.. thats all I know."

Yamaguchi quickly relized what her neice was saying. "Ahh, she's helping to shake
down that little overpowered Frigate."

"Overpowered is right.. Mom has never been a fan of the Defiant class.."

"Well she best not let the brass upstairs hear her saying that." Celeste pointed upwards
in the generation direction of Ops and the Admiral. "They may protest."

"Ahh fair enough so... what are you guys doing for dinner?"

"Well we were going to eat out at one of the local eateries but-"

"Have dinner here, I'd love the company and you guys look like you need a good meal anyway."
Rachael smiled. "Maybe you'll meet my boyfriend too."

"Boyfriend?" the thee newcommers asked at the same time. "Is he hot?" Pava inquired with
a smile.

Celeste raised an eyebrow but she did not reprimand her Andorian Shen that she had taken in as her own kin as Rachael had been expecting, she then smiled at the Shen. "Yes... and he's mine, no poaching."

The Shen laughed at Rachael. "A pity."

"A pity?. You'd drive him off... leave my man alone.." Rachael glared daggers at the Andorian Shen who
simply smiled sweetly back. "For now Rachael... only for now.."

Celeste picked that moment to speak up. "Pava, quit picking on your cousin." she commented quietly.

Pasha sighed. "Guys." he commented with a smile. "So... dinner... what should we have?"

Rachael knew this routine, it was as old as time and it was clearly well practiced. "Ribs with a sie of fries and extra sauce."

"Sounds good." Celeste commented as the four of them moved en mass to the replicator in order to replicate dinner, clearly none of them were going anywhere but the door beeped at them again as Celeste raised an eyebrow. "I wonder who that could be...."

"Its Dad." Rachael commented, a smile appearing on her face. "Its Open!" and in came Captain Jake Yamaguchi who greeted his daughter then his sibling then his neice and nephew in that order. "Am I late?"

"No... we're having dinner... ribs with fries and sauce." Celeste commented as she smiled at her brother.
"You did good out there Jake."

"I wasn't there fast enough.... what do you think the Orions got their toys from?" Jake looked at his younger sister with a concerned look.

"I don't know and thats what scares me..." Celeste admitted.

"Well.. we will deal with it.." Jake commented. "On way or another.... we'll find the hole and plug it, with extreame prejudice." he commented. "but first... dinner.. then we rest for the evening.... then tomorrow, we'll deal with the situation. Hopefully by then Torilla will be back... "

Everyone in the room seemed cheared by the recomendation and by the news that Aunt Torilla would soon be returning. "Might as well hold a family reunion." Pasha commented.

"I'll recomend this place for the next get-together." he looked at Rachael. "Would you mind seeing to it?"

"Sure Dad." Rachael commented with a smile. "Mom will be happy..."
