/Thank you,/ Ami thought to his father. Scott was about to ask what was going on, but was distracted by the rapidly destabilizing energy dome. Its shimmering surface shook like a rung bell and contracted six inches. Despite her growing nervousness Ami smiled wonderingly at Paul as she backed out of the hemisphere, tightly gripping Scott's hand. Once she was outside he told her, /Be right back./ Scott released her hand and ducked back inside.
Paul stood in the center of the hemisphere, the top of which almost grazed the top of his head, curiously examining it. Scott pulled him into a hug. "Thanks, Dad," he said, stepping back. "I'm witholding as much information about you and Mom as I can, but at this rate..." He gulped. "The Army or Air Force may come calling soon."
His father gave him a bemused smile. "Don't worry about yus. We'll get by. We always do. Take care of Ami and let her take care of you." He grinned a mischevious smile that would have done the original Paul Forrester proud. "And enjoy exploring each other. Your mother and I have."
Scott felt his face grow red-hot. "Too. Much . Infor--"
The energy dome shuddered and unceremoniously collapsed into the co-locator. Scott stood there for a moment blinking from the abrupt transition. Ami's quiet giggle prompted him to face her.
Although she was blushing as well, Ami was clearly amused. /Didn't know your parents are randy devils as well, eh?/
Scott forcibly pushed his embarrassment aside, focusing instead on the absurdity of it. He chuckled as he strode over to her, wrapping her in his arms. /You realize, of course, that it's not you. I'm just genetically predisposed./ Scott cheerfully braced himself for retaliation.
