Marcus relished the chance to relax after a hard days work of beating up the bad guys with acne in down below. He watched the Babylon 5 Weather report. "Today's weather will be clear" said the highly overpaid weatherman. "And tomorrow, look for...clear. And what a surprise! The upcoming weekend will be clear. I would like to say that it would be sunny. But that would be impossible since the Sun is over 28 light years away!! HAHAHAH!. For our methane breathing friends in the alien sector. . .".
He turned off the TV and flopped down on the bed. Dressed now in his caped pajamas he stretched across the bed in his apartment with an open copy of Universe Today, and a pen, and read with the greatest intensity, making a notation here and there. He was scanning one of the Sunday sections...
"Hmmmm, this one looks nice. Single Psi Female, 28 yo, looking for SPM for fun and putting mundanes in their place. Likes cooking, taking long walks on the beach and sitting in front of a fireplace. Be my teep and I'll be yours! Let's scan together! Must be P5 or above. '"
"Well, maybe not". Marcus continued reading.
"Single Drazi Female, 32 cycles old. Looking for that special Drazi in my life. Purple only.. . "
No...not that desperate.
"Zzzbuzz, click click, hmmm-buzzz, SSF, fooosh clickity buzz, beaches, bauxite click, annihilation...."
"Vorlons Female, 3242 Standard Years old, seeks Vorlon Male. . ."
Eeee, yuck!!
"Married Centauri Female, 35. (Husband is currently stationed far away on a space station.) Seeks loyal, honest, hardworking SCM for fun and frolic. House not important. If you play your cards right, you might reach high numerical values."
Marcus read on. But melancholy was setting in. These were probably decent women, no matter what species, but his one true love all but ignored him. She was already in love, in love with the Earth Alliance and her duty. And her name was Susan. The name rolled off his tongue like the sweetest air. The only Earth Alliance girl that was for him.
Earth Alliance Girls (Sung to the tune of California Girls)Now Minbari girls are sweet
But hey, they got that thing on their head
And those Centauri girls, sure can dress
But then they ain't got that much hair
Now those Narn girls are strong
But I can't go for those red eyes
And those PsiCorp girls sure are fine
But will they scan me in the night?
I wish they all could be Earth Alliance Girls
I wish they all could be Earth Alliance Girls
I wish they all could be Earth Alliance Girls
