Molly: You're no longer a Lieutenant Commander. You're a Commander Commander!

 

Ukinix: ::Chuckling, reaching for pips:: You’re right, I am!  Good spot, Molly Molly!

 

Throwing her hands into the air and doing a little hop, she congratulated Commander Ukinix again.

 

Molly: Commander Commander Wil Ukinix! ::gawking slightly:: So fancy!

 

He chuckled.

 

Ukinix: Well, we should celebrate.  I’ve got some time to kill before my slipstream flight, how about an ice cream?

 

If this child could widen her smile anymore she would surely have to go to Lieutenant Wong to put her jaw back on.

 

Molly: Ooh yes please!

 

Ukinix: But firstly, where’s your Mum, Ensign Will- I mean, Sophie, your mum?

 

Molly: She's working. 

 

Ukinix: Hmm.  Well come with me, we’ll get that ice cream, and sort out having an adult with you.

 

She smiled again, skipping slightly to keep up with the pace of adult-sized legs.

 

((“Cream of the Ice” Ice Creamery – Ground Level, Grand Mezzanine))

 

Ice cream was one of Molly's favourite things, along with ducks, circles, the holodeck, G-type stars, the number 10, a classic Terran book series called "Slinky Malinki", the planetoid "Pluto", Maths, and the colour Purple.

 

And, her favourite ice-cream flavour was rainbow, Which was what she had in a cone right now, slowly melting over the child's hands and onto the table they both ate at.

 

Ukinix: How’s your ice cream?

 

She nodded enthusiastically.

 

Molly: It's yummy.

 

Ukinix: How’s school going?

 

Molly: Good.

 

The child took another bite of her ice cream, but coming to the realisation that the Commander may want more information, she quickly swallowed it and continued.

 

Molly: We had maths today. 

 

Ukinix: Oh yeah?

 

Molly: I like maths. So does our teacher. He likes every subject he teaches us.

 

Ukinix: What’s your teacher’s name?

 

Molly: ::smiling:: Mr Gren.

 

Molly was about to comment on the fact that Mr Gren almost tripped over one of her classmates when they were sitting on the floor that morning and how it was really funny, but she caught Commander Ukinix drifting his attention to something behind her and the curious child looked over her shoulder to investigate.

 

Seeing the Vulcan counsellor, she was not disappointed.

 

Ukinix: Ensign! ::Waving to come into the shop::

 

Molly: Ensign Ychol!

 

Ukinix: He’s a nice man, isn’t he?

 

She nodded with a smile.

 

Ukinix: G’day Ensign, how are ya?  Can I get you an ice cream?

 

Ychol: Response

 

Molly: ::tucking into her ice-cream:: They're really good.

 

Ukinix: It seems that Molly here has wandered off again on her own. But the little scamp did get an icecream out of it, ::Looking at Molly:: didn’t ya?

 

Mouth full, the child simply nodded.

 

Ychol: Response

 

Ukinix: ::To Ychol:: Anyway, I’ve got a transport to board soon, I was just wondering if you could get her back to her mum for me? Or a carer.

 

Molly: A transport? Why are you getting on a transport?

 

She felt a few nudges on her shoulder, and the commander continued.

 

Ukinix: ::Playfully:: Because I’m going back to Earth for a quick holiday, you little trouble maker.

 

Molly: Can I come? 

 

Ychol/Ukinix: Response

 

Molly: Mum says it would take too long to get to Earth, even by ::slowing down to get the big, fancy words out:: "Quantum Slipstream".

 

Ychol/Ukinix: Response
