Mission:
Episode 6 - Old Habits Die Hard
Location: Elloma Essu's Quaters
Timeline: MD005 2200 hrs
Clarissa wondered why Paul was such a jerk. She felt so used, by him. As soon as he got back, he was flirting with other girls, and blew off Clarissa. Her first reaction, was to hit him. But she resisted the urge, and instead went to Elloma's room.
Elloma opened the door, as she could see that something had Clarissa enraged, she assumed it had something to do with Paul or the mission. She did not like Paul, he seemed a like a player. "What is it Rissie?" Elloma asked, as she motioned for Rissie to walk into her quarters.
"That jerk..." Rissie started off, and then started to cry, holding Elloma close to her, as they started to talk about him. Rissie filled her in on everything, she was so angry. At first she thought she was angry at him, she was angry at herself for falling for him.
"You're better off without him, plenty of guys on the Pioneer, any one of them, would love to go on a date with you." Elloma said, holding her friend close.
"Why did I think I could change him, make him commit to me?" Rissie asked, not really expecting a serious answer. The answer in her mind, is she can't controls the actions of others.
"The heart wants, what it wants. I really do not have a good answer for you sweetie." Elloma said, thinking about her own situation with Tyler and Kat. She wanted them both, but hated keeping it a secret. Eventually they would get busted. How would Clarissa react to it.
"Thanks." Clarissa, said in a sarcastic tone. She poured out her heart, and all Elle had to say was, no answer. That was a little annoying for Clarissa. But she knew, if Elle had an answer, she would have given her one.
"He's a jerk, is all I can say." Elle said to her, as she held her friend tight. She wanted to say, I told you so. She knew that would be wrong. Her friend needed comforting. Not ridicule.
"A big jerk, will people like us be single and used by others all of our lives?" Clarissa asked, not expecting to get another answer from Elle.
"I don't know." Elle said, as the scene starts to fade. Elloma was in the same point as Clarissa. Both trapped in secretive relationships. And today Elle took steps to end that relationship for good. "Lets go to the lounge, and get a drink. Maybe Chloe will have some ideas."
