Hondo: alright. Get some rest then. Ill keep everyone away an' make sure they are ready. Just take it easy. Don't want something happenin' to ya.

Fernando: OK. Thanks.

Hondo nodded and walked back to the party. Tonya was trying on her new boots, jacket, and gloves as he returned. She had a dress on so she had to wait to try on the chaps. Hondo grabbed a beer and watched the others as they had fun. He never was one yo be in the middle of parties. As usual he sat at the edge and watched. His enjoyment was seeing those he cared about having fun.

Well the cowboy, like the red man, you had to leave your land
You can't raise your stock and plant your crop in the gumbo and the sand
Greed disguised as progress has put us to the test
They won't be glad until we're gone from our home out in the west
It's sad to see those good old days replaced with greed and doubt
Soon we'll leave the country, the campfire has gone out
Bid 'em all adieu, you can't turn the world about
The cowboy left the country, the campfire has gone out

I think it's best with others around and before we go into town. I don't want to do it now, stealing the spotlight away from Tonya." Jeanette Isabelle

Valentine: I'm sure she wouldn't mind. It is a reason yo celebrate too. Might as well do it now. If we wait it might get too hectic.

Moro did not want to take away from Tonya's fun so she makes no attempt to get every person's attention, just those who would be interested. "I would like to make an announcement. Jeanette Isabelle Miller has requested to adopt Penelope, Penny for short. Penny, of course, has been looking forward to this." Moro removes the paperwork and a pen from her briefcase and lays them on the table. "I have here Penny's adoption paperwork. A copy will be filed at the Charlton courthouse."

Penny looks up at Jeanette, excited. "Really?"

Jeanette looks at Penny, smiles and nods. "Yes."

The paperwork has yet to be signed and yet Penny is already throwing her arms around Jeanette.

Moro looks Jeanette, holding out the pen to her. "As soon as you are able to pry yourself away from your soon-to-be daughter, I need your John Hancock on these papers."

Penny lets go and Jeanette sits down at the table.

Moro shows Jeanette where. "I need for you to print your name here, sign here and date here. Today's date is May 5, 2066."

Jeanette prints, signs and dates.

Moro shuffles the papers. "The same thing her."

On her younger sister's birthday, Jeanette becomes a mom.

"With no powers invested in me, I now pronounce you mother and daughter. You may hug your child."

Jeanette and Penny throw their arms around each other. Penny's hat falls off in the process.

Moro straightens one set of the paperwork, puts them to one side and retrieves her mobile device to transport one set of the paperwork. "There is a two hour time zone difference. The paperwork will be filled tomorrow morning." Moro places her hand on Penny's shoulder. "Everyone, I would like to introduce to you Miss Penelope Miller."

Penny give Jeanette kiss on the cheek. "Oh, thank you . . . what shall I call you?"

"You may call me what you want to call me." Penny's mom answers.

"Thank you, Mom." Penny picks up her hat and puts it back on.

Moro is also excited.

Note: Penny now has player character status as per the rule added on March 25, 2015. I will write her profile soon.

Valentine and Tonya congratulate Jeanette and Penny in their new found relationship. Hondo stayed back, still keeping his distance from Moro. He drank a beer as he watched the proceedings. Ruth and Joanna also gave their congratulations to them. The other, younger girls and little boys could care less about what was happening. Hondo finished his beer and grabbed two more. As he exited Valentine met him at the door.

Valentine: aren't you going to congratulate Jeanette?

Hondo: I reckon not.

Valentine: why not? Aren't you happy the girl has a mother now?

Hondo: Jeantte and I don't see eye to eye, on anything! And as far as bein' happy for the kid. . . Kinda feel bad for her.

Val smacked him on the arm.

Valentine: come on! She's not that bad! A bit out of touch with reality at times but her heart is in the right place. Besides she probably feels bad for Tonya and Zoey having to put up with you.

Hondo: Never said livin' with me would be a picnic.

Valentine: now, you know that's not what I mean. We love you very much and wouldn't want to live without you. I just mean. .

Hondo: I know. I know. Everyone has their own ideas on how to raise kids an' on how to act. But she's just so. . . She lacks common sense! That damned wolf alien has been leadin' her around by a leash an' she can't see what's right in front of her! She's bein' used an' doesn't get it. How can you raise a kid an' be so clueless.

Valentine: I think you are giving her too little credit. So she trusts those spirits or aliens or whatever they are? That is her business. As long as they don't prevent us from helping others it's not an issue.

Hondo: maybe so, but it still bothers me.

Valentine: you can only tell her your thoughts. She has to make up her own mind. You can lead a horse to water. . .

Hondo: yeah, yeah.

Valentine: just let it go for now. You're exhausted and stressed out. You get some rest and you won't be feeling so disgruntled.

Hondo: maybe so. Not gotten any real sleep in days. Its no wonder I don't look as haggerdly as Jefe does.

Valentine: who says you don't?

Hondo: come on! I don't look that worn out, do I?

Valentine: you look 20 years older than you are.

Hondo: thanks for the moral booster, there.

Valentine: just saying you need to take more care of yourself and watch what you say when you're worn out like this.

Hondo: I'll rest when I'm dead.

Valentine: dear, your nigh immortal, or did you forget?

Hondo ignored her: I'm gonna go check on Karl.

Hondo walked off and left Valentine to celebrate with the girls. Her mind wasn't as into it as before as she just realized how tired he was.

Hondo walked over to Karl and held out a beer.

Karl: is it poisoned?

Hondo: just take the damned beer.

Karl: OK. You guys going to the surrender soon?

Hondo: yup. You not going?

Karl: seen enough slavers for a life time.Besides someone needs to stay with the camp.

Hondo: when did you become an upstanding citizen?

Karl: it aids my survival. That Fernando scares the shot out of me. You do too but him more so. I want to live and this camp and you folks staying safe keeps me alive and headed home. Don't think I do any of this 'cause I am a good person. I am looking after call to take care of myself.

Hondo: well, at least you're honest.

Karl: thanks for the beer.

Hondo: I know how many are left. Touch them without my permission an' I'll cut your hands off.

Karl: noted.

Hondo drank his beer down without saying another word and when backnto the camper to get a cup of coffee.

Note: This is written with Arik.

"Thank you." Jeanette says to Valentine, Tonya, Ruth and Joanna.

Hikaru is glad that her friend, who is sterile, can have a daughter.

Moro reaches into her briefcase and retrieves a car title. "The 1973 Beetle will be apart of the caravan. To make sure we don't run into any trouble, I have the title right here." Moro looks to Wilbur. "Keys."

Wilbur reaches into his pocket, retrieves the keys to the Volkswagen and hands them to Moro. Moro in turn hands them to Jeanette. "You need a vehicle to pull the trailer you and Penny will be living in."

"I better get going." Wilbur says.

"Will I see you again, Mr. Robinson?" Penny asks.

"I will be back with my parents, aunts, uncles, cousins and my great aunt Billie. Both of us will be living in Charlton so yes, we will sea each other again."

Hikaru knows a person by the name Billie Robinson who is a train operator and wonders if it is the same Billie. "Is your great aunt Billie Robinson the train operator?"

"Yes." Wilbur answers.

"I know her. She's also an Immortal."

"Do all Immortals know each other?" Wilbur asks.

"Yes. It's good for Immortals to know other Immortals. It gives us a since of stability."

"Wilbur." Jeanette asks. "Can you at least stay to the end of this party?"

"Sure." Wilbur answers.
