StarAndrea + Fic = Love

This story is the twelfth story in Last Bell, and it's mostly about Mike Corbett and Ali Carter in the newly established Terra Venture colony on Mirinoi. The planet was de-stonified by Kerone and an improvised team of new Defenders (Mirinoi's oldest Rangers): Mike, Maya, and Ali, plus a couple of ghosts who were still hanging around for whatever reason.

Terra Venture is currently racing through space with an unlivable city dome and no engine power to speak of, so it's been mostly evacuated except for a skeleton crew still hoping to save it and bring it home to the New World (now Mirinoi). Getting the dolphins out of the ocean dome was something of a challenge with just the Megaship, so Aquitar sent a special water ship to ferry them all to Mirinoi.

Carlos ended up being the one to bring the special ship. He also brought his daughter and her favorite babysitter (apparently Sylvie's summer job is to babysit Coral) and has so far managed to complain less about this than anyone else, despite the fact that Ashley, Andros, Zhane, and Kerone actually volunteered to go help Terra Venture, and they have a full-time nanny to watch their kids. (Thanks Aoife!)

Finally, Tessa's bachelorette party is tomorrow night, which isn't mentioned, but that's why they have to get back to Earth. Yay not having the party the night before the wedding!
