Arriving at Risa Finally

“Thanks for the escort Captain Freeman,” you said over the view screen.

“No problem mister Gardner, you were really handy against that Breen raider,” Captain Freeman replied with a proud smile. “You’ve really grown up, a little at least.”

“We’ll be around Nuvia for the next two weeks, if you or Mariner wants to catch up or anything. Just call ahead and we’ll make plans,” you smile at her and then at Mariner working at her station.

“You are so on, call me up and we're going to binge!” Mariner gave you a cocky grin. “You are going to be telling me everything.”

“And you’re going to reveal everything you’ve been up to, Becky,” You say before quickly clicking the button to end transmission. And not a moment too soon as Mariner’s face shifted and she was cut off mid shout.

You were once again on the bridge of your ship, several hours from when you had returned from the Cerritos. You were still in shock that the Cerritos crew believed your story about why you had brought along so many people on your honeymoon. Then again, they didn’t have any reason to suspect they were slaves. You had explained that many of them were bodyguards and handmaidens to help take care of Starfire and Aelita especially. You had told them that there were enough servants and bodyguards for multiple rotations so that each group would have time to go out and enjoy Risa. You didn’t even need to lie about that one. Considering how dangerous the quadrant could be, they thought it was a reasonable precaution.

Though you might’ve implied that they were all women because your mom wanted even more grandkids.

A small engineering team had taken careful scans of the Winged Heart and had found some minor cracks that they were easily able to repair. They did pay quite a bit of attention to Starfire, Ahsoka, and Hera, considering that they were beautiful women of unknown or rare species (they already knew Starfire existed).

The trip towards Risa was fairly peaceful except for a couple of idiotic raiding ships who were quickly scared away when Sabine had opened up with the thanix cannons, allowing you to repay your rescuers.

“Winged Heart marker 3418, you are cleared to land as per your request at Nuvia Ship Landing,” said the Risa Traffic Control.

“Thank you Control,” Hera replied before she moved to enter the atmosphere.

“Pretty planet,” Sabine commented as she stared at Risa with a thoughtful look. “You think they have any good places for paint?”

“Probably.”

“Welcome everyone to where we will be staying,” you say with your arms spread out to the side. Your harem looked up with their luggage in their arms as they took in the sight of the large Caribbean style villa with two floors and multiple buildings around several pools and waterslides.

“Huh, it's surprisingly roomy,” Gogo said as she passed you with a collapsible bike over her shoulder.

“I claim an ocean view room!” Gaige, Caliie, and Alex shouted as they ran with their bags, pushing a few of their harem sisters aside. Marie glared at her cousin from her spot in a flower bush while others shouted and shook their fists at the running girls.

“We’re on a peninsula! They’re all ocean view rooms!” Gwen Tennyson shouted at them while she bent over to pick up the chest of books that she spilled. You patted her hip, causing her to shy away in surprise, before you crouched down to pick up books. She gave you a little glare as she picked up a copy of War & Peace.

“Really? First time you touch me is on your honeymoon?” You set down the books in your hands and raise them defensively.

“When the opportunity comes, you answer, plus I was a bit busy before,” you shrug as the last book is stowed away and the lid shut. The two of you stood up and you gave the chest over to her. “You know there is always a booklovers convention in the northern sector, they would go completely gaga over these books. Most of them were lost during world war three here.” She looked at you with an annoyed stare.

“I might have to look it up, can’t let them live without these masterpieces,” Gwen Tennyson said as she hurried off to get a good room.

“Airen going to have to build up relationship statuses and get the event flags,” Shampoo said as she stood next to you with a lot more luggage than her own. “Gaige-airen been hunting achievements in dating games.”

“Is that Gaige’s streaming equipment? And Aelita’s luggage?” You ask, seeing all the stuff stacked in her arms. “And my dabo set?”

“Martial Arts tournament in three days, will bring home the prize!” Shampoo cheered before Ranko came by and stole half of the luggage. Ranko blew a raspberry as she ran off with Shampoo chasing after.

“They sure are lively,” Aelita said while walking up to you with only a small backpack by her side.

“Risa has that effect,” you chuckle as you see Erza and Mirajane trying to shove each other out of a door frame up ahead. You offer Aelita an open hand. She smiled and put her backpack in your hand. You only laughed and put on the backpack and took her arm. “Come on, we need to find our and Starfire’s room before they’re all full.”
