She laughed lightly. "No, I'd definitely feel pretty bothered. I mean yes, I do want to become an adult soon, but I'm not so anxious to leave the last few years as a kid. It's not like I got to have that many kid moments. I figure that even though I'm stuck on this ship and we have to fight an alien menace, I can still keep that part of me that likes having fun and playing games."

Not that she thought this was permanent, of course.
