Feeling Serys hand on her shoulder Therese looks at her, offering a light smile before preparing a tortrilla

Alice cant help but smile some at Jon's silly announcement. Yet with that one phrase he has anchored her somewhat yet again in reality.
"Yes...of course the time of the tacos!" She kisses his cheek and says to Sery and Xyl. "That tremendous time of Tacos..where legends roamed the stars..."
"When men were real men and women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.."
Alice feigned such a good giggle it may have been mistaken as truly genuine.

Jon laughs and leans into Alice as she giggles.

Sery picks up her taco, to which she has almost comically overstuffed with a little bit of everything on the table, its tiny shell almost cracking under the strain. She observes playfully at Alice's joke and decides to play along.
"Oh yes..Taco Time! It was the best of times ... it was the worst of times..." She profoundly recites...
"...it was the age of Tacos, it was the age of tortillas, it was the epoch of Chalupa, it was the epoch of bean burritos, it was the season of mild sauce, it was the season of hot spicy sauce, it was the spring of Nachos, it was the winter of enchiladas..."
She imitates the look of a renowned history professor regaling her students gathered before her of a marvelous bygone age as she continued.
"We had everything before us, we had nothing before us, we were all going direct to inside to order, we were all going direct to the drive thru—in short," She drew a breath and continued with regal knowledge of her learned subject. "..the period was so far like the present period, that some of its noisiest authorities insisted on its being received, for good or for evil, in the superlative degree of good eating only."
With that she nodded and takes a huge bite of her taco...which has had its structural integrity pushed way beyond its limits. Its shell's hull literally implodes and then flies apart in her hands dumping its multitude of its contents all down the young woman's front. A cascade of meat, meat substitute , fruits and veggies, all of the sauces and syrups...a unified messy waterfall of epic proportions that runs down her entire front from her chin to her belly...to gather all in the lap of her skirt...
Sery looks down at the mess she has become and sighs as she deadpans...
"Well...crap..."

"That depends on what kind of wedding it will be, Is it a naval, Or a civilian?"
She listens to the talk about taco and giggles, smiling wider as sery makes a mess but does not wish to make the poor girl more embarrassed. she helps her as if it had not even happened while speaking
"Ah.. why yes, however as the residing doctor of time, I must inform you here that there has been three recognized Taco times of true greatness, that are seen as canon history of the linear time of taco. The first being the grand taco time in the summer of 1969. Known largely by the humans as the summer of taco. We also have the time of the taco crisis in the 2009, Truly a time of taco where its timely intervention came just in time to cause a time out in the great untimely time of darkness. And not to forget the Trillin taco time of 2345. What a time that was! Indeed it is often the time that is seen as /The Taco Time/. It was quiet lovely Indeed"
"Now one shall not forget the five Taco times that has occurred in timelines that has no been merged to be part of the line of time nor taco that we enjoy, all for the best of course as they where indeed some of the worst times of taco, yet with taco there was still taco time, and the taco was not to blame, but the people. Then of course there is the truly grand taco time of 2555. It will be grand, however I am not allowed to tell you about it as then the taco time police will come and insist we give them tacos, or they will have us write long reports of the be or not to be of taco and time and the space time harmonics circulating the essence of tacos multilateral multidimensional existence."
She smiles and finishes helping Sery, acting as if poor Serys accident never occurred
"Yet history will remember this day as The Truest Taco Time Throughout The Temporal Transmetic Tale."
She with that takes a bite of her tortrilla, having learned her lesson a long time a go that hard shells are treacherous

Alice smiles and hugs Jon's arm as she listens to Professor Sery and her talk of the legendary times of the Taco..She smiles to him a true smile this time, as the young girl recites this so profoundly.
She was about to answer Xy about the wedding when she saw that Sery was abou to take a huge bite of the over burdened Taco...
"Sery hon! Wait...."
When the explosion of Trill, Mexican and other stuff arrives her eyes widen in amused horror for the poor girl,..however all attmept to keep from giggling are lost by Alice at the 'Well Crap' line.
She buries her face into Jon's shoulder and loses it. She only looks up and smiles more as she listens to Xy's tale as she cleans up the mess with Sery's help. Evne offering napkins casually to Xy to lessen the embaressment of the poor girl.
"Oh it is memorable all right..sery I just love you honey..."
"Truly an epic moment in time..."

Sery doesn't move much as she and Xy begin the clean up, she gratefully accepts Alice's offered napkins and sighs. Inwardly wondering just what she did wrong...the shell had to be designed to hold the food...why in all of the heavens would a people make a food sheel that caves under such a burden.
She smiles as she listens to Xy's tale grateful for her to try and lessen Sery's feeling of utter embarrassment. Yet...Sery did not feel entirely embarrassed...she pondered, how else am I supposed to learn. Anyways it was the stupid shell's fault not hers....yes she decided promptly...
I am blaming the shell...
It was indeed a poorly designed food containment system. She decided it was far inferior to the sub hero's rolls that K'Rika had shown her when she slept over there on the epic nights of the 'sleep overs'
"I believe this food shell to be of inferior design" She proclaimed nodding sagely.
"Such a thing never happened to a hero roll...I thought bagels were poorly designed with a hole...."
She looks to the other three and asks as her image shimmers as Xy cleans away the last of the piled mess in her lap. Her appearance is now once more clean, neat and tidy.
"I mean who makes a sandwich containment foodstuff...that has a HOLE in the middle?!"
She looks at her plate and the shards of ruined taco. "Or a food containment shell that is BRITTLE!?"
She eyes the remaining selection of taco shells.
"You are poorly designed!" She scolds them.

Jon laughs uproariously now, doing his best not to knock anything off the table at Sery's reaction to what occurred.
"Holding and eating them...is an art form."

Sery huffs a little out and looks to Jon and challenges "Why must the holding of a item clearly designed to HOLD food...be problematic and require a separate skill comparative to holding bread!"
She glares once more at the row of tacos "Why must you be problematic!"
She looks to Xy and sighs "This is just like the 'Chop Stick Controversy' i had with K'Rika and Doctor Spencer...."
"How can the chinese not have heard or even conceived of Sporks??? I mean they invented almost everything else long before the other cultures on Earth.." She looks over to Jon
"Why is this Mister'Im from Earth and Know Everything All The Time and Look Cool Doing It'?? Why did not the Chinese just invent sporks??"

Jon laughs heartily and looks to Alice.
"I know I definitely don't know everything...I'll leave others to judge whether I look 'cool'...as for the sporks...maybe they wanted a challenge?"
"Did Billie or K'Rika offer to let you try chop sticks with 'training wheels'?"

Alice appears utterly charmed by the incident and Sery's reaction. She offers Jon a seemingly warm smile.

Jon returns the smile and leans in for another kiss.

Sery blinks and looks right at Jon like he has lost his mind.
"Why....why for all that is holy..." She makes a face as she says this. "Would I ever want wheels on my chopsticks?"

Jon bursts out laughing again, holding Alice tightly as he tries to compose himself.
