“That is a horrible idea,” she said quickly. “Why would we want to work on a shore leave. I say if you expect to work then we just book a suite on the holodeck and stay here,” Ally said flustered. “The whole point of getting away is to get away. No medicine for me and no…policing or whatever you do,” she waved a hand. There was no way Ally was going to tell Rico about the incident on Orion. She would deny it until her grave. That meant no trips to Orion where they would flag her the second she got off the ship. “What about Vulcan? I have heard the desert sunsets are breathtaking. We could do that camping thing you talk about and there is not a drop or water anywhere around us so you dont have to worry about stingrays.”

Rico stayed silent a moment as he watched her, she was stubborn, determined, fiery, and persistent, all qualities for which he loved her but it appeared that when Allison was backed Into a corner slightly, her fight or flight instinct kicked more Into a “hey look over there, isnt that amazing” penchant for an attempt at misdirection. She wasn’t exactly lying, but it was obvious Allly wasn’t going to spill the beans. She enjoyed her coffee too much for that.

Reaching to his Monitor, Rico turned the screen around and looked at her with a slight smile but a raised eyebrow. “Ally, love of my life, cream in my coffee, hole In my donut. Would your aversion to an exotic holiday on Orion Prime have anything to do with this?” On the screen was the mugshot of Ally and local news reports of her arrest and subsequent Federation agreement to remove her from the planet.

“Where did you get that,” she said diving over the desk to cover the screen with her hands. It was a childish gesture and did nothing to stop Rico from knowing anything. There was no way he hadn’t read the report and reread the report. The half smirk told Ally he was slightly bemused at the revelation but there was that crease of wrinkles across his forehead and the semi-concerned glint in his eyes.

Letting her dive over the desk and cover the screen, Rico placed his elbow on the desk, his chin on his hand and waited. “Who would have thought that Allison Scott was a wanted woman on Orion Prime, the place where even the bad guys kicked her out?”

“Rico bad things happened there. I barely made it out. Thank god for my academy self-defense training,” she said wearing a serious expression. “I mean without it who knows where I would be.” Although her academy training never went beyond the required 101 classes, Ally’s tone indicated she was felt she was being serious.

“Yeah? Wow that must have been bad” Rico agreed, nodding his head as if he had to for his own safety at her martial prowess. In truth, Ally had the combat ability more akin to Kung Fu Panda rather than a Jackie Chan, and he could only imagine at the events leading up to her arrest.

Moving back to the chair she studied him. “You know I am not a fugitive right? I did my time and now I am on probation,” she looked at him completely sincere. Ally wasn’t sure exactly what was in the report so maybe it would be good to answer any questions. Looking at Rico, Allison Scott searched his face for any hint of nervousness. It was then she decided to put him at ease. “Okay so I know I am probably the first woman you ever dated with a record so if you need to think about things I can give you a day or so. If you can’t accept me and my…history,” she tried to choose her words carefully, “then I understand.”

That made Rico sit up straight and blink, twice as he processed what she said. “Whoa nelly” he said, reaching out and taking her hand, “Lets not release the bulls and try to dive for cover from things trying to boot us in the rear with their horns, Okey Harley Quinn? I never said anything about not wanting to be with you, but, an explanation would be nice” he said to her, then waggled his eyebrows and smirked.

“Rico this is serious,” she pulled her hand back and then broke out in a bit of laughter. “If it wasn’t for my keen sense of observation I could be some Dabo Girl on the Ferengi homeworld stroking ears and increasing the odds of the house in gambling.” Ally could not help but smile seeing how amusing Rico found this whole situation. She did have to admit however, it was rather funny. Her father didn’t find it that way but her brother, like Rico, could not help but come up with nicknames such as the Blonde Bandito, Ally the Embelzer, and Swindler Scott just to name a few. Drumming her fingernails on the side of the chair she concentrated on his face trying to be serious but his darn smirk made it hard to do so. “In fact, you should be rather appalled by my larceny antics.”

“In fact, you having a bit of a record and being not quite as innocent as you make it seem is kinda hot. I dated this girl just out of the Academy once, Ashley, a stunning red head. She did something dumb in her last year that got her a record, and a few tattoo’s, but your the first one I’ve dated that’s actually been exiled from somewhere.” He emphasized the word and motioned for her to sit down with him. “So whats the story? If we go back to Orion prime is it really that bad?”

Lt Rico Vanhall, CoS

“I know right,” she wholeheartedly agreed with him. “That is why I didn’t bring it up. I mean what guy wouldn’t freak knowing that if they were with a girl they couldn’t set foot on places like Vulcan, Earth, Risa, or Orion. Kinda limits vacation plans.”

Lt. Ally Scott, medical

This time Rico’s eyebrow rose and he held up both hands, “Okey just hold on now Miss Quinn” he said, “Risa? Earth? Vulcan? how many more of these exile reports do you have?” he teased, making a move to head back to the console to Bang out her name some more and see what he could find on the exo-nets dark places.

“How about Andoria?” He asked her, still smirking, “We could try a winter vacation there, build a snowman, just let it go kinda thing. Unless of course the Ice Queen there wants you as well?” He turned back to her and took her hand again “Do you have any idea how cute this is going to be? “Hi, I’m Lieutenant Rico Vanhall, and this is my girlfriend, Lieutenant Ally Scott, otherwise known as ‘Orion’s Most Wanted’, oh yeah, and she’s mine” He grinned wider, “and you would make one heck of a cute Dabo girl.”

Lt Vanhall, CoS

“Rico,” Ally said sharply and then stopped suddenly. She was about to use his middle name when it occurred to her she had no idea what his middle name was. Not once during her dash to psychiatry, the salacious medical check-in, moonlit catamaran swims, or family trialing a set of twins borrowed from a fellow officer had Ally ever thought to ask his middle name. How could she have ever thought about sleeping with a man for the first time and not know his full name?

“Yes Harley?” he said, again putting his cheek in the palm of his hand and looking at her with a grin. The more he thought about it, the more he liked his new nickname for her, now he just needed to find her the outfit.

“You are sitting there so smug and you don’t know anything about me,” she said in a slightly frustrated tone. “I mean cheese and crackers we don’t even know each other’s middle names. If we don’t know that what other things are we hiding about each other. This is why the situation is not funny,” she struggled to keep a straight face as she heard the crazy leaking out around her words. “And for now Andoria is clear…for now,” she then added a wink.

“I am so glad that Andoria is in the clear” he said to her, “I didn’t really want to spend the rest of my days on a Starship because my girlfriend is a wanted woman by every species in the known galaxy” he looked at her and bit his lip, “I might get a little jealous if everyone wants you” and then he laughed. “Your middle name is Lilly” he told her, “it says so right here” he said, pointing to the screen with her Exile permit on it, then gave her a wink. “I knew that, Allison Lilly Scott. Born on Earth, in California. You have two brothers and your parents are Charles and Susan.” He softly tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, “Do you think I wouldn’t have security access to the crews files and not look you up? How am I supposed to arrange that secret call to your mother for her Birthday, or get your father tickets to the final of the series to butter him up for when i pop the question?” He was teasing, but truthful. Ally was so special to him, and at heart he wanted her know he cared.

Ally smiled at Rico. “And I really don’t like it cold so yeah Andoria is kinda out,” she shrugged her shoulders. One day she would introduce him to her parents and they would, “wait you called my mom,” Ally smiled at him shyly. “You are full of surprises. Ricoooooooooo,” she left his middle name out as if waiting for him to fill it in.

“As to my middle name” he said, “That is top secret” he tapped his own fingers on the desk and looked at her with narrowed eyes. “I’m not sure that kind of information should be spread to fugitives, you might blackmail me for your own wicked ways.” Motioning her to come in closer, he leaned forwards and whispered into her ear. “You can never tell anyone, but my full name is… Rico Fletcher Dirk Vanhall. Yes, I have two middle names.”

Lt Rico FD Vanhall, CoS

“Fletcher,” she said rearing back and looking at him. “Full…et…cher. Fill et cher,” she said his name over and over several times rolling it over her tongue. “Your name is Rico Fillet chur,” she said crinkling her nose up.

Lt. Ally Scott, medical

“Yes” he said slowly, as if what he had said had been either misinterpreted or was something nasty in some odd language that he didn’t know Ally spoke. “Fletcher, and Dirk. Fletcher was my fathers name, Dirk the name of an old book hero that my mother loved reading. I don’t think that name has any bearing on whether or not we can go to Orion on a vacation” he grinned at her. “You, have a problem?” he raised an eyebrow as he asked her, “Its a deal breaker huh? Am I no longer worthy?” His tone and eyes indicated that he was completely teasing her.

Lt Vanhall, CoS

If you expect any babies of mine to be called Fletcher then yes or you are nowhere near the stylus the moment I give birth, Ally thought eyeing him. “Of course not. We are talking a quick getaway and not moving in together,” she leaned back smiling. “So I will make a few plans and we will be off,” Ally said with a smile getting up and heading towards the door. This was one trip Rico was going to remember.

Ally looked around hesitantly. The court order said she was not welcome on the planet however just mere hours after leaving Rico’s office, Ally had gotten a message. One she did not think she would ever get again. Ally could sit all day and curse the moment she met Lauren shan but everything happened for a reason. At least that was what her mother always told her. So now Ally was on the planet but this time she had Rico with her so everything had to work out for the better. Rico just needed to get them past customs.

“Yes but she is not supposed to be here,” the large sassy woman said leaning back in her seat protested again to Rico.

Eyeing the blonde the handsome guy was with, Lucy Washington let out a hmm hmm hmm sound as she crossed her arms. “What you doin’ with that skinny white girl,” she eyes Rico again. “You know she ain’t gonna last five minutes here on the street dressed like some lost cheerleader from perfect town Earth.”
