Tec juked and rolled the ship, doing his best to watch for debris as he was told/ asked. "Hey Rusty, I don't think that's gonna help enough; depending on where these asteroids...go...they could possib...ly make a...whole in the...sheilds and land...on the ground....Ah!!" Tec broke off as he rolled and spun, almost knocking Rusty and the others who were standing up onto the floor to unconsciensousness(sp?), and went underneath an asteroid he had not seen. "Drat this stupid asteroid field! Jerusha, lemme ask you something; when we get back to Dellat, would you mind if I asked you to marry me?" He laughed at the shocked face she sent him, along with the others, and said, "I was just...kidding." He watched her aim the guns and noticed she had put on a roguish grin he remembered well, and pulled up sharply on the controls as the asteroid he had been avoiding blew up and shards hit the defletor sheilds, and then grinned a roguish grin himself. "So, uh, everybody ok?" he asked fifteen minutes later after they had gotten through the asteroids and all, though there were still asteroids heading towards the planet.

ooc: If you want to add something here, something within those fifteen minutes, go ahead, just state so in some way...

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> As the old YT freighter spun on its axis, Dravin was thrown with the others into a bulkhead. Pain rushed through his body, but he blocked it out before it could over-power his senses. He slowly got up and continued his task of pushing the asteriods off course.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

Rusty stood again, taking his seat this time

"Nice job Tec. I knew I wasn't mistaken calling you the greatest pilot on Dellalt. I think everyone's ok. That was some excellent flying Tec."

Rusty looked back towards Dellalt, most of the bigger asteroids' courses were no where near the planet. Rusty smiled at Cairo

"You were good too...nice shooting."

"And what about ME?" Han said, grinning his ass off.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Time for a surprise of my own!<!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> Jerusha thought. While tec had his head turned, listening to Rusty, she tapped his shoulder. When he turned, she kissed him full on the lips. Then she whispered words for him alone. "Who's to say I would have turned you down?"

Then, turning, she congratulated the others on their accurate aim. "Well, we made it through that storm intact. I wonder what's ahead?"

Rusty settled in his seat

"What's ahead? Hmm...it appears as if all the practical data we need is on this ships starmaps now. I think we should return to Dellalt orbit...there's something I need to take care of..."

Tec's face was one of pure shock now. If she would have said yes, to a joke, maybe he should ask her seriously. Speaking to Jerusha, he said, Jerusha, if I asked you to marry me, seriously, would you say yes? Better yet, let me put it to you this way. Tec looked at Rusty quickly and said, "I'll just set her down in the hangar; it'll be about time for me to refuel anyways, I think." Returning his thoughts to Jerusha, he said, Jerusha, I really like you; it's been a while since we've seen each other for a long period of time, but I still feel the same way about you that I did a few years ago. If you still like me as much as back then, answer me this, truthfully. Will you marry me?
"Hey, Han, uh, Cairo, thanks for the help with the guns."
Tec's mind was a blur waiting on a reply, and in his twenty years of life, he had never been quite so nervous.

As the others filed out, talking amongst themselves, Jerusha bit her liip. Yes, she loved him, but she didn't want to rush into a long-term-relationship. Her eyes became distant as she thought of the times they had shared in the past.

Once the ship was quiet, she looked up, and saw him still waiting with baited breath. "Oh, Tec, I love you so much! Of course I'll say yes!" She threw herself into his arms and kisseed him fiercely.

<!--EZCODE ITALIC START--> Dravin sat down quietly and observed the others around him. The asteriod field could represent the rock that trips the warrior, but he highly doubted it. In the back of his mind, he hoped it did.<!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->

OOC: TEC's A PIMP!!!!!!!! he got to Jerusha faster than me and any one of me fiancee's.... :p

IC: Han jsut sat there, bored, doing nothing, not knowing what he was supposed to be doing. He had a blank look on his face, watching Catana, wondering why she was upset.*
