|| Stand By Me|| Florence and the Machine ||
Miiko ate her sandwich diligently, consuming about a quarter before Sam declared that he had finished packing. "I did too!" She piped up, pointing to her pink duffel that contained what little belongings she had. "Piggy back ride?" Miiko asked when Rose crouched down. Miiko obediently got on, putting on the mask of Emma, the timid little mouse. They piled into Sam's car, including Aria who was invisible and rather hard to keep track of. "How far is the dock from here?" Sam revved the engine, putting the car into reverse. "Not that far, although I have a feeling Pablo is going to be there." Sam pulled into forward and turned, going down the narrow street that had become oddly familiar to Emma. "Why?" She tilted her head to the side in question, the hand that was normally covered by a glove wrapped up in bandages today.
By the time they reached the dock the road was already crammed with cars on their way to work. Emma rode on Irina's back, the trio approaching the ship from the side. Up on deck were Pablo and Orianna, one looking stern but happy, the other waving ecstatically to his boyfriend. Emma buried her face in Irina's shoulder when Pablo touched her nose. "I-I won't!" She said in an attempt to be brave. Orianna was rather cryptic with Sam, who needed and confirmed that there were no secrets. Emma was not aware that they knew her secret, Ronan had promised to keep it from them but the recording of what went on his mind was sent to Pablo, who had been able to review it and see that Emma was a light bearer. Perhaps he had some hope that Sam was unaware and was not keeping this secret from them?
By the time Sam had rounded up Pablo and Orianna and got them off the ship, the sun was high in the sky. They set sail, Aria at last allowed to remove her veil and step back into the world of existing. "Welcome back," Miiko said, sliding off of Rose's back once they were far enough from shore. "This is a nice boat, almost as nice as the North Star." Sam grinned, "I was given it by L for what he considers diplomatic missions, but I think he won't mind if I take it out for a spin for personal purposes." Miiko tapped her chin thoughtfully, "Won't the others become suspicious if you return with another orphan?" Miiko inquired, taking a seat in the Captain's chair. "No, because I told Pablo that I believe there are more of us out there. Which is why we're starting off in Ornet."
"Electric city?" Miiko looked between Rose and Aria, whom Sam and Miiko had walked in on in the lounge area of the ship. "Maybe that's what she's saying? That Akihabara, or whatever means Electric City?" Miiko sat down beside Aria, gazing up at her curiously. The two had never had any formal introduction, although Miiko didn't think that one was truly needed. "Well for now we can let loose," Miiko sighed and took out her bitter rabbit. "Yui has one of these too," she said, showing it to Aria. "I gaver her mine when I left Yavin."
