Destiny, a word she was beginning to not believe in anymore. Yet, little did she know destiny was what she'd find today. Lucy was simply looking for a place to sleep. Maybe a ship to sneak on. She was simply looking. In all her looking however, she didn't notice the people around her. The ships docking, taking off. It was all very loud, yet she didn't hear anything. She was lost in her own mind, which was often a scary place to be. She walked along the dockings, looking here and there. Something discreet that no one would kick her out of maybe. Or a ship that had guards that were sleepy or easily distracted. At this point in time the only thing on her mind was finding a safe place to lay down.

Moving out of his ship, he let his crew do their thing, Mercy and Yoko going with the royal guards while Topsy decided which she wanted to do first. Course, he was hoping she'd come with him. Her looks were helpful in negotiating prices down to a more reasonable price. He figured the needed equipment would be about a thousand credits or so, but it was hard to tell on a King planet. Sighing, he moved slowly through the port, looking for the needed area to buy what he wanted, but than he saw a face. Looking at Lucy, he thought he should remember her, but he couldn't place where he had seen her from.

She wandered about, not noticing the man staring at her. She hummed a soft tune. One her mother used to sing her to sleep with. "Baby Lu ... lu lu" She said along with humming. The only real memory of home were of her mother and Lucius. But they were few and far between. She stopped for a moment and turned to look at the man looking at her. "Lu?" She asked suddenly. She stared right into his eyes. "Luci ... Lucius ...." She said slowly.

As she hummed a tune, he knew it from his childhood, but there were only three people who knew that, himself, his mother, and... When she spoke up, his eyes lit up, "Lulu? I thought I'd never see you again," he exclaimed as he moved closer to her, "You've certainly grown," he laughed. Course, she was only four when he was taken away, but that didn't matter much. "My goodness, how has life been for you?" he asked. He figured it was as good as his, maybe worse, but things would change now that they were back together, as a family.

"Lucius .... big brother" She said said slowly showing her insanity. She tilted her head as she looked up at him. "They took you .... they took me .... I wasn't you .... " She said truly showing her inablity to be coherent. She turned and started walking again. "Sleep .... safe ..... sleep" She said as she looked about a little. She looked back at him. "Do you need a place to sleep?" She asked, as if it were the most normal thing. "I can help you find one" She said pointing to the many ships before them.

Perking a brow at her, something had certainly happened to her whent hey took her. "Dear Lulu," he stated as he moved towards her and wrapped his arms around her in a soft hug, "I have a place to sleep. I actually own that ship right there," he stated as he pointed at Liberta. She was a beautiful ship and certainly one of a kind as she stood out within the others. "If you want, you can come stay with me and my crew, than we can become a family again, wouldn't you like that?" He felt like he was talking to a child, but this only fueled his hatred for the Alliance, though it didn't show on the surface.

"Family?" She repeated confused. She didn't understand the meaning of family anymore. It was too long ago. She looked up at him as he hugged her. No one had hugged her in years. She didn't know what to do with it. "You have a ship" She said looking up at his ship. She looked thoughtful for a moment. "I can sleep there?" She asked. She really was only able to think so far ahead. She was mentally stunted that way. She looked back him. She moved away from him slowly. She was confused, it was alot at once. She didn't understand alot of it. "Lucius ..... ship ..... Lulu sleep ....... family?" She asked looking up at him as if he had all the answers in the world.

Her words put a soft dampen feeling in his heart. Where's Topsy, she might be better at this than me, he thought to himself, "Yeah, remember how it use to be before we were taken? And you can sleep on my ship, yes," he replied softly. It was hard seeing his sister like this, she was confused, scared, and he didn't know how to help her. Perhaps the doc would have some answers? When she pulled away, he let his arms fall from her as he stared at her and nodded, "Yes, Lucius has a ship that Lulu can sleep on and have a family that cares for her again." He promised to keep her safe this time. The first time around, he was young and was the first taken away, but she didn't deserve any of this, she didn't deserve to be taken like he was. They thought he was the key to something, and so they used her too? "Poor Lulu," his words were soft as he spoke, "You will be with me again, we'll do what is all the fun things we promised to do while we were children," he stated. Yes, Lucius was getting sentimental, the second time this day even, but it was his sister, how could he not get sentimental?

Topsy looked at the girl and crossed her arms over her chest for a moment before she looked over at Lucius and blinked for a moment. She ran her finger tip over the bottom fabric covered button on her shirt and looked over at the Captain before she looked at Lucy without saying a word and then looked back at him. She was a little off timing wise, however all she could offer at the moment with a small frown and a sorry. She tucked her arms in and looked at him." Who's this?"

Lucy looked up at Lucius when he told her she would be with him again. And for the first time in a long time she smiled. It was sweet, child like. But she stopped smiling when she heard another voice. She looked over at the woman with her head tilted. "I'm Lucy ..... Your pretty" She said in the same child like manner she had. She looked up at Lucius. "Gates closed" She said before pointing over at his ship with the gates were indefinetly closed. She her her hands on either side of his face. "Lucius" She said to make sure it was truly him. She had been taken advantage of before. She was so scared. She had to know.

Hearing Topsy, he spoke to her, "This is my sister, Lucy. Lucy, this is one of my crew, Topsy," he stated softly. His gaze was kept on Lulu, he didn't want to lose her again, not this time at least. He nodded, "That's cause everyone is off doing things, they will open back up when I come back, do you want to join us on a small errand?" he questioned her. When she put her hands upon his cheeks though, he rose his hands and rested them gently upon her wrists and nodded, "It's me Mei-Mei," he stated, using a chinese word for little sister. He didn't know much, but he knew little bits and pieces for other languages, but nothing to be of much use to him.
Taking her hand, he began to move and softly pull her along, "Come, we're going shopping," he stated in a joyful voice, "Topsy, look for an inhibitor that works, we need something to mask the shuttles frequencies and also a cable to keep the shuttle close to the ship," he stated, his voice being more serious towards Topsy than it was to Lulu.

"Shopping ...." She said slowly as she allowed him to pull her awya softly. She had seen people shop, knew what it was, but have never done it. "They don't like me at the market" She said in a small sad voice. She knew that stealing was wrong but she had to to survive. People had to eat. And in the the market place they usually tried to shoo her away so she wouldn't steal from them. At this point she was afraid of the food and merchant market place.

Looking at Lulu, he smiled softly, "Don't worry, they will let you in with me at your side," he told her softly. Moving up to the place that would have what he wanted, he moved into the tent, letting Lulu and Topsy to follow behind him. Inside were several items, many barely even being of the same type. It looked like a rummage sale more than anything else as it had almost everything for anything. "Go ahead and look around mei-mei, I need to talk to the man," he stated gently. Moving up to the merchant, he smiled gently, "Got what I need, Jack, or do I have to go to someone else today?" he questioned. Jack's eyes were following Lulu until Lucius' hand slapped onto the counter, "World to Jack, I'm over here," he stated as Jack's eyes shot over. Jack was a mute by nature so he didn't speak, simply nodded as he moved into the backroom to get the items Lucius had asked for before setting out.

"Jack jack doesn't like me" She said as she wandered about. "He is always waving me away from his tent. I no stole from him never" She said mostly to herself. She had only ever stole food. She was a good girl in her mind, even if the rest of the galaxy couldn't see it. She idly touches an item here or there until she found some she almost remembered.
"Lucinda" She said staring at an old rag doll. The doll itself looked just like the doll she had as a baby. Lucinda was her greatest companion as a toddler. She never ventured far without the doll. This doll was kept in good stature, only one tear on the arm. Apparently from the last little girl holding the doll by the arm.

Hearing Lulu behind him, he gave a faint laugh, "Jack doesn't like many people," he stated as he stared at Jack as he came back with the items. Grabbing his little board, he wrote the price upon it and Lucius gave a heavy sigh, "Nonegotiable now, huh?" he asked and Jack nodded firmly. Before Lucius could call for Topsy, he heard his sister again and looked back as she was staring at a doll, "Bring her over, mei-mei. I'm sure Uncle Jack will be glad to sell it to us," Lucius stated as his eyes focused on Jack, "Wouldn't you." Jack backed up slightly from Lucius' glare and Jack nodded nervously. "How much now." Watching Jack write down the price, Lucius rubbed his hand through his hair and gave a nod, "Alright," he stated. Topsy seemed to have dissappeared or was simply busy with something else, so he placed the credits down, 2,893 in total even. A large dent in his pocket, but it was needed for the job at hand, and the doll was needed for Lulu's happiness. Grabbing the bag, he turned to stare at Lulu, "So, found yourself a new Lucinda?" he questioned with a gentle laugh.
