"The purpose of this gathering is to explain to you the general conditions under which Earth will be offered membership and a seat on our Council. We ...re particularly interested in Margaret's recommendations regarding our initial approach to the identification of those people on your world who would prove most efficacious in introducing Earth's population to the concept of a multiverse. I will briefly outline the general requirements Earth must meet to gain membership but we will not discuss. “Or what?” she smirked. “You’ll turn me over your knee? Would you? Please?”She was right.

She hadn't planned it but events went that way and it had just felt right at the time. I was a little taken aback, and to be honest relieved she hadn't told me she had leapt into bed with a couple of guys who we knew. I was also quite excited at hearing about it so I told her it was OK, after all a lot of water had passed under the bridge since we set out our rules so we probably should revisit them. I told her I was surprised as I would never have had June down as ever doing that kind of thing. How bout I make it up to you both? What say you guys come over to my place for some steaks and drinks tonight? Wadya say?" he offered.I thought for a second, almost suggesting that maybe the two of them have dinner alone, but not wanting to freak him out in case he wasn't into that kind of thing I nodded reassuringly. "Sure, that sounds great. I don't think we have anything planned tonight and I will check with Mel but I don't think it should be a problem. Thanks." Great. I'm in building 18,.
