Hi! Hello! Howdy!

Life. Oh, life. So, the biggest thing is that I got a promotion. It's kind of cool! I'm now project management support for this big piece of legislation that has to be implemented throughout the county and I'm going to be the person on the other end of the phone telling people (nicely) to please get your stuff done. Eeeeee! There's a raise an everything. I'm a little frazzled. *twitches*

I've just started watching BBC's Musketeers and it's DELIGHTFUL.

I...have not been writing, which sucks. So... MEME!

Leave me a prompt, a pairing or a charactor, and a fandom and I will write you a three line fic. Throw anyone at me! Help me write! :D

Congrats on the promotion! That's awesome. :)

Prompt: Ripley/Hicks, future

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

Ripley/Hicks - future (there was no third film, right? right.)

Ripley awakens in the cryotube when the proximity alarm goes off as scheduled. She stumbles a little when she's on her feet, but she immediately goes to Newt. The little girl rubs her eyes and blinks up at Ripley.

Ripley smiles at her and says, "Good morning."

"Morning, Ripley," Newt says quietly.

"Are we there yet?" a raspy voice says.

Ripley looks over at Hicks' tube to see him sitting up and wincing. Ripley actually chuckles and is surprised by the sound.

"Home sweet home," she tells him. She looks down at Newt who still looks sleepy. "Stay here, Newt."

Newt nods and Ripley walks over to the nav display. They've arrived just outside the reach of Earth's outposts, just as she'd programmed and now she's wondering just what the hell to do next. She frowns.

She frowns even harder when Hicks joins her.

"You shouldn't be on your feet," she says.

"Way I figure it, I shouldn't be alive," he says. "Standing's easy at this point."

He taps the icon for the closest outpost. "Looks quiet," he says. "Company doesn't dock there much."

"They'll still know we're here when the ships id is read," she says.

"So we scramble a few things and land on far side," he says.

She looks at him with surprise. His mouth quirks up into a smirk.

"May be just a grunt, but I'm not a stupid grunt," he says. "If the company wants their science experiment gone wrong back, they can sift through that planet's radioactive rubble. No way are we letting them get their hands on Newt or Bishop." He winces. "Or me, for that matter."

"And me?" Ripley asks.

"Thought you could handle yourself?" he says lightly, his one good eye bright blue and steady on her face.

Ripley starts to smile.
