Every girl needs a starship, part 4

Yesterday, Lupe came on-board MINIMCOM's transport and made her way to the cockpit where she was joined by one of MINIMCOM's livetars. She gathered up all of her courage to make her request.

     “Oh, Onclare, I’ve missed you,” she said.
     MINIMCOM was used to human emotions and he was very fond of Lupe so he hugged her back being cautious so as to not crush the girl.
     When she was done, he carefully separated them and had her sit back in the pilot’s chair, spinning it around so it faced the rear of the compartment. He kneeled down so that he was eye level with her.
     “So what is this all about?” he asked.
     Lupe took a deep breath. “I’m not sure how to say this,” she replied.
     “Try.”
     “Well, I know that you are my Onclare and you and my Mom and my Dad have your adventures together. And Junior, I love him but he and Aason and Aroline spend a lot of time together. Without me. I get lonely sometimes. I'm supposed be learning how to make first contact but I have no way to get there.”
     MINIMCOM’s livetar nodded. “You want a starship of your own,” he said knowingly.
     Lupe shrugged. “Is it too much?” she asked sheepishly. “Am I being selfish?”
     MINIMCOM made a sound which resembled a chuckle. “Not at all. I have been thinking about having another child for a while now. I just was not sure about giving birth and having this next one be lonely as you say you have been. It appears that you and I have computed the exact same solution.”
     “Then you’ll do it?” Lupe asked excitedly.
     “Yes, I will do it,” MINIMCOM said.
     Lupe jumped up and wrapped her arms around the livetar’s neck, squeezing even tighter than before. “Thank you, thank you,” she said.
     “However, I will need to pose this to your parents first,” MINIMCOM pointed out. “I would not want to go doing this behind their back.”
     “I’m sure they won’t mind,” Lupe said. “I’m old enough now. Aason and Junior have been friends since Aason was only two years old.”
     “Nevertheless, you and I will ask them together, first.”
     “OK,” Lupe said.

What do you think? Nothing but trouble? We shall see.
