The Chibi Problem
((A/n-This story was co-written by Darling Baby Girl, I admit, I'm behind the insane plot line, but she is at least a little at fault. Since I'm no good at Gold Trance, we're gonna pretend that Trance is still purple for this... Oh! Translation for kiddy talk is in [. . .] and thoughts are -. . .-))
Beka and Dylan were off on the Maru, gathering necessary materials and taking a break from the current monotonous events. Harper, Trance, and, after two hours of complaints, Tyr were currently engaged in a friendly game of Crazy 8's on the bridge while Rommie stood at the door, watching. Suddenly the quiet atmosphere was interrupted by blaring klaxons.
"Intruder Alert! Intruder Alert!" Andromeda repeated. Harper quickly went into action, grabbing his gauss gun from a nearby table; Trance grabbed hers from under the table, while Tyr simply grabbed his from his side holster. Rommie lead the way, Harper behind her, and Trance and Tyr side-by-side. "Why the heck aren't you attacking them again, Rommie?" Harper asked, feeling the start of a headache.
"Simple. We are not sure if it is a threat at the moment. I am standing by for more information." Rommie replied.
Trance gave a small grin and Tyr shook his head. "Then let's get more information for the Divine's sake!" Tyr shouted over the klaxons, taking the lead.
Suddenly a short man with a ridiculously enormous gun turned the corner and nearly ran Tyr over. -Oooh, it's pink. . .- Was Trance's last thought before all four of them were engulfed in a bright yellow beam.

. . . An Hour Later . . .
Beka and Dylan return on the Maru, each looking forward to a nice quiet day back on the Andromeda. "Eureka Maru requesting permission to board." Dylan said, nearly yawning.
They waited nearly two minutes for a response before getting rather annoyed. Soon they opened a communication link and saw three small children. One resembling Trance and the other two Rommie and Tyr. They looked no older than three and were throwing cards around. Beka's head began to ache.
"I don't want to know what happened but I must ask." She sighed and raised her voice a bit. She wondered for a second which child would be most interested in pressing a red button giving them the ability to board then decided Trance. "Trance?" She addressed the little purple girl sucking the tip of her tail. Trance looked up alarmed at her name.
"Y-yes?"
"Can you press the red button for me?" Trance looked around and then stood toddling over to a control panel and accidentally pressing a green button.
"Uhhh, Ms. Wady? Wha' 'appens if I pushed da w'ong buddon?" [Uhhh, Ms. Lady? What happens if I pressed the wrong button?] Trance asked, looking a little embarrassed.
"Which one did you press?" Beka asked, trying very hard not to sound annoyed.
"Da gween one." [The green one.] Trance replied energetically.
Rommie and Tyr suddenly let out small giggles and Trance spun around to look at them. "What? What 'appened?" [What? What happened?]
There was a vid showing on the other view-screen. It was a recording of Beka in a short pink dress and Dylan in a poka-dotted shirt and matching tie. "What the. . .? I'm going to kill him!" Beka yelled. Dylan, who hadn't been paying any particular attention to the situation, suddenly noticed it and turned a bright shade of red.
"Mr. Harper. . . I do believe you are dead. . . Very dead. . ." Dylan muttered, trying to stop the blush. All three children were rolling on the floor in laughter, a very funny scene if you consider that two of them were Rommie and Tyr.
Suddenly a minimized Harper-head appeared from an overhead air duct. "Wha's so funny?" [What's so funny?] He asked, looking around and being very careful not to fall out of the duct.
Beka was the first to notice him. "Harper! Get your little butt down here now and hit the stupid red button! And turn off that. . . that. . . annoying thing!" She yelled.
Harper's eyes widened and he looked downright terrified but he quickly hopped out of the duct, hit three buttons in quick sequence on the board, and ran out of the room.
"Well that went well." Dylan said once his blush finally calmed down. Beka shook her head, guided them into the cargo bay, and prayed to the Divine that she was dreaming.
