When; March 7th (KILL FOR MY SHIPPPPP Day!)
Rating; Questionable.  PG for now, will update as the situation warrants.
Characters; Penny (horrible_penny ), Tsurugi (sword_boy ), Raikov (hidesinrestroom ), and Captain Hammer (horrible_protag )
Summary; Tsurugi and Penny have a ship to make happen.  Raikov is overjoyed.  Hammer has no idea what he's walking in to.
Log; 

The Plan was in action.

Not that there had been much to do to set it into action, as it was a very simple plan.  Get Raikov and Hammer in the Welcome Center's back room, close the door, have Tsurugi ensure that it stays closed, and be prepared to make a run to the hospital if worst comes to worst.  A slim chance of violence, Penny reasoned, was a small risk to take in the name of love.  And how could it be anything but love?  The unresolved sexual tension between Captain Hammer and Raikov was as plain as day and the two bickered like a married couple.

Messages had been sent to Raikov and Hammer.  A batch of cookies was cooling on the oven.  Penny, feeling rather good about her contribution to the noble cause of Love That Was Meant To Be, was sitting at the counter, waiting for Tsurugi and the lovebirds.  How sweet would it be to see Hammer and Raikov--her ex and her friend who loved him--together?

What could possibly go wrong?

Tsurugi was giggling in excitement waiting for Raikov and Hammer to arrive. He knew he'd help them to find true love even if this plan was a bit underhanded by nature.

He checked over the room that their love would finally be expressed in to make sure it was sturdy enough for Hammer not to be able to get out if he started to freak out at first. He decided that it adequate enough then left to wander the Center to wait for everything to begin.

He'd make this perfect... and if anyone got hurt because of it, they'd feel pain by his hand... but why would anyone get hurt he thought. They should have true love on their side!

"Penny? I think we ready to go," he yelled. "Let our evil operation begin!" Tsurugi's already giddy behavior only got worse at the thought of this plan's success.

Raikov eventually showed up, actually wearing something normal. A casual black dress shirt and some khakis. He was curious as to what this surprise was... Was it food, some sort of present, a person? Ooooh, he couldn't wait!

He entered the Welcoming Center and glanced around. It had been a while since he was last here... "Penny?"

(Sorry for going out of order--thought this needed a little more setting up)

As much as Penny appreciated Tsurugi's enthusiasm, she didn't fully understand why he insisted on referring to The Plan as an evil one (or, for that matter, why he was running around dressed like Cupid, but she wasn't one to pass judgments). This was the right thing to do. Raikov and Hammer so obviously belonged together--they just needed little help getting there.

"It's a good operation," she protested mildly. "We're doing it for love."

And, perhaps, for the tiniest bit of personal satisfaction.

Penny greeted Raikov with wave and got up from the counter. She had hoped he'd show up first; that would make this simpler. "Hey, Raikov! Looking good." Not a lie. She wouldn't have minded dating him if--well, if certain things were different. "Do you mind sitting in the back room? ...Maybe behind the door? The surprise isn't here quite yet."

That would work. Put Raikov behind the door, convince Hammer to go back there, then shut them in together until they--"they" meaning "Captain Hammer," as Raikov didn't need convincing--realized that they were meant to be an item.
