Joshua grins. "Regrets? I live on board a fast ship. I've been from one end of this galaxy to another. I serve with four, sometimes five," joshua nods to Magenta. "Very lovely and very lusty ladies." Pointing to Melee, Ano, and Baby, "I've also got three incredible girls that are like sisters to me. Then you add in the Arners and Papa Kerish and it's like one big happy family. What would I regret? Everyone stared at Joshua in his chair cuddling with Seesha. As one they started throwing their popcorn at him. They all went back to talking to each other. It was Magenta who saw the sad look on Kirk's face. "Ah, look. He does have something he regrets." Joshua sits in silence for a moment. "yeah. I regret that my lack of control might have caused a war between the Federation and our ally, the Klingon Empire. I regret that I betrayed the trust of the Emperor, Kahless. I regret that I've trapped more than 900 good people 74,000,000 light years from home, and that I caused the deaths of more than 3,000 Klingons. Some of whom I knew well. Yeah, I do have regrets." Seesha strokes his face gently. "I'm a lot like The Kirk, James Tiberius. To me, lifes been one adventure after another. Nothing bad had ever happened to me. But those things do catch up with you. Just like it caught up to The Kirk. And it cost him his oldest, and best friend. Only he was able to bring his friend back. I doubt that I can undo the damage I've done." "Well then I have good news for you," Mulk said. I was talking to Merrik today before all the crazy things happened. He said that they have opened the wormhole enough to open communications with your Federation. There is no war. Your people appologized, these Klingons accepted." Joshua Kirk sits up at the news. "And what's more, they say they'll be able to have it open wide enough to allow ships to go through. You'll be able to go home." Joshua sat in silence for a minute. Only the sound of Melee crying brought him around. Leaning out of his chair, he looks the girl in the eyes. "You don't think your're getting rid of me that easy do you?I'm not going anywhere kid." "But don't you want to go home?" Melee asked tearfully. "I am home. Yes, I'd like to go back and visit. I do have family there. I'd love to take you ladies shopping in New York, London, and Tokyo. Let you see what it's like shopping without needing battledroids." Magenta just smiles. "Where's the fun in that?" Baby and Ano, who'd been sitting in silence on the floor next to Melee just looked around the room. "And I thought we were screwed up Ano," Baby said. Jumping up she leapt for the door. "I'm going to bed. I've got to get together with Three in the morning and finish calibrating that backup hyper drive." "Oh more good news!" Lele said. "Our clan Matriarch said that Three has earned the right to, not only take a name, but to marry if he wants. That bit of heroics him and Joshua got into this afternoon showed he is a man." "Pink smiled at that bit of news,as did everyone else. "Joshua, Melee. To bed. You two have to get up early. You have to fly back down to the surface in the Stinger and pick up Her Majesty." Everyone rolls their eyes. Kirk looks over at Melee. "I'll explain in the morning. Some of us had a tiring day. I'm off to bed too."
