This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...Every Miadax in the rec room froze as the group came in with Selina astride Lila and Lobo close beside them.
"Relax," Jeff said loudly enough for everyone in the room to hear. "They are highly intelligent beings."
"You are dismissed," the First told his crew. "I'll meet you in the training room shortly."
"What are they," the navigator, who was the nearest alien to the wolves, asked as he sidled past.
While the wolves grinned back, Jeff couldn't resist and said, "Your best friend or your worst nightmare."
That didn't settle any of the aliens' minds at all. In seconds, the bridge crew had filed out of the room.
If the wolves could wear a smirk, Lobo and Lila certainly did, and Jeff could hardly keep his face straight, knowing the crew would remember Lobo and Lila's grins for quite some time.
The First Officer tore his eyes away from the wolves to ask his Commander, "What can I do for you, Captain?"...
Have a goodun;
Roust
