Rosette & Rufus - "Lab-floor burn?"

Who: Rosette & Rufus
Where: Rufus' Lab
When: Just before the explosion
Wandering down the corridors of the science labs, Rosette almost
skipped as she moved - the Ship was theirs again, and all they had
left to do was get rid of Le Souteneur.  A Rogue Frenchman...
How hard could it be?
Rosette tapped in the security code on Rufus' lab, causing the door to
swoosh open.  WIth a fluid movement, she swiped the security card on
the slot, and allowed the retinal scanner to do its work before the
lasers were deactivated, then she entered.
"hey hon" she said as she walked in.  "What you up to?" she asked,
walking over to stand next to him, her arm absent mindedly running
along his back to pull him closer to her.
"I'm just planning an inventory of supplies I need when we head back
to Earth."  He replied with a smile.  Amber was the only one before
Rosette to take an interest in his work, much less visit on a regular
basis.
"We've all had a long day..." Rosette said, with a yawn.  Whether or
not it was a real yawn was besides the point, as Rufus stopped what he
was doing.  His super-genius brain could quite possibly have picked up
on ROsette's wavelength.
"a-a--a" he began stuttering.  "Are you suggesting something?" He
eventually managed.
"Maybe." she replied, with a wink.
Before he had a chance to respond, she leant in and kissed him.  Her
lips seemed to pull him out of his stool, and towards the beds at the
back of his lab.  It would have worked better for them if Rosette had
made a mental note of the path, or even looked where she was going, as
it all came to a crashing end when she fell over backwards, tripping
over an old experiment.
Rufus came crashing down on top of her, and their eyes met.  It took
no time at all for Rosette's hands to make their way to his back, dig
her nails into him, and tear off his shirt.
"H-here?" he asked, eyes wide.
