Chiana slithered through the shadows into the terrace, watching the
three people standing in the middle. The thing that had brought her
in here were the 2 rows of flashing lights, blinking in the blackness
of the room. As she moved closer she could see that the lights were
actually two rows of DRDs. At one end of the isle the DRDs made,
there were ten empty water containers, while John, Aeryn and D'Argo
stood at the other end. John was explaining something to them. Chiana
moved closer to hear.
"...... and if you knock the pins down first go, it's called a
strike."
"A strike? Isn't that if you miss the ball?"
"No Aeryn, that was baseball."
"And what do we use to knock down the water containers?" D'Argo
hefted his ever present Qualta blade.
"No weapons. We use this ball." He got a ball from the corner, which
had three holes in it.
"With that?! You've been into Rygel's stash again haven't you?" Aeryn
said, placing a hand on his forehead.
"A) I never went into his stash and B) no. This is an Earth game. I
found this on the last commerce planet we were on. Too bad they
didn't have the proper pins to go with it." John turned the ball in
his hands and then stuck three fingers of his right hand into the
holes in the ball. "And we bowl like this."
John healed the ball in both hands and took a couple of steps towards
the DRDs, then let his right hand, ball still attached, fall around
his side. The weight of the ball pushed his hand back and he pushed
forward. The ball was suddenly speeding down the middle of the DRDs
heading for the water containers. Chiana flinched in the shadows as
they all came crashing down.
"STRIKE!!!!" Chiana couldn't help giggling at John's dance and
neither could they others it seemed. She was still giggling softly
when she walked out, making her presence known.
"Can I play too?"
"Hey Pip. Yeah, sure. Now we can play teams. You and D'Argo against
Aeryn and I. Loser gets Rygel next time we make planetfall."
"Done." D'Argo said.

"Okay Aeryn, you saw how I did it. Just grab the ball and bowl it
down the middle of the DRDs."
"Just grab the ball and do what you did?"
"Yeah. Unless you want Rygel next time we make planetfall......." He
left the statement hanging in the air.
"Right. I take the ball and throw it."
John moved over to where D'Argo and Chiana were arguing. "You two
right here or are we going to have to call the cops about a domestic?"
Chiana slid up to John's side. "John, can you show me how you did
that again?" Her hands played with the back of his neck. He quickly
untangled himself from her grasp.
"Now Chi that wouldn't be fair." He turned to D'Argo, "Aeryn and I
are ready. My strike doesn't count. Aeryn'll bowl first, then you,
then me and then Pip."
"Good. And we are agreed about the bet?"
"Yep."

"Great game you guys. We'll have to do it again sometime." John said
as he left the terrace arm in arm with Aeryn. They both had smiles on
their faces.
"Yeah! And this time, we'll beat you!" Chiana called to the two as
they turned down the corridor. She went back in to help D'Argo who
was walking out of the door. His hand was painfully swollen thanks to
the three fingers that had become lodged in the ball.
