Dandy Valentine

O Onderon! My home! I have returned! May you drop your shields and throw open your doors; it's showtime.
A large luxury space cruiser swooped low over the wild forest land on it's approach to the great fortified metropolis, Iziz, in the brilliant light of the afternoon it's red paint work gleamed and it's gold stripes shimmered. The speed and course of the ship had raised a panic in the recently repaired airport on the outskirts of the enormous city for the unidentified vessel was soaring so low and fast over the stretching landscape and was showing no signs of slowing down. Soon enough it had been hailed and a bold voiced boomed out.
"Greetings City Iziz! This is The Orpheus and I am her daddy, my name is--- Yes, three more bottles. No, no-- the good stuff!"
He cleared his throat
"Sorry about that, where was I? Yes! I am Dandy Valentine, entrepreneur extraordinaire and the greatest entertainer this side of the galaxy! My band of colleuges and I wish to dock in one your finest ports."
There was a moments silence over the comm frequency but shortly the operator returned in full voice and invited the captain to land in Docking Bay 42. They were lucky to find a place large enough for their ship at such short notice and the operator was sure to inform Mister Valentine of this. It appeared his words had gone unheard as the transmission ended with a cheer and a cry.
"On we go! Gentlemen, good show. Ladies, keep it clean! Ha ha!"
The roaring engines neared and grew louder and louder until all outside and even some in their homes stopped what they were doing and looked up. There was a wide boulevard which lead from the main entrance straight to the palace in the centre of the city, this place was heaving with people who were usually going about their delay business. Not today.
The Orpheus soared over the tall outer walls, missing them by no less than a few feet, it immediately accelerated toward the palace. Below the onlookers pointed up, trying to read what was written on the ships crimson belly. In big, gold lettering it said: DANCE WITH ME!
Suddenly, a hatch oppened on the ship's underside spilling out a shower of confetti which rained down upon the packed boulevard below. The windows flew open on the ship and extravagantly-dressed young men and women leaned out, waving at the crowds in all their gaudy splendour. Here and there, a single bear leg would be kicking into the air from the open windows, also on either side of the ship handfuls of cash was thrown and it fluttered about on the air, gently descending into the hands of the cheering people of Iziz.
Before the defenses blew the ship to bits for getting to close to the palace, it began to pull up and gracefull ascended with large streamers being rolled out of the windows and rear ports, flapping wildly in the wind. But for the spectacle's finale, The Orpheus went higher and by the time it was over the palace it had reached a verticle climb and from the rear cargo bay were droppped large fireworks which whizzed and screeched before blossoming into dazzling explosions of red and gold. The Zeltron were in town!
