Mission: Episode 7 - Home Again
Location: Ship's Mess
Timeline: MD003 2000 hrs

Most of the crew was attending the captain's cowboy themed party. Paul wasn't interested in the time period, and he didn't feel like running into some people at the moment. So he had come to a very empty ship's mess, got himself a steak and potato's dinner, sat at a table and pulled out his padd and started reviewing daily reports.

Lyna had asked the computer where Paul was. She wasn't sure if he was going to the captain's party. She wasn't interested in most social gatherings...she always felt left out. So when the computer told her that Paul was in the mess, she headed that way immediately.

When she got there, she walked in and saw him sitting at a table by himself. The mess was practically empty, which suited her.

She walked up to his table.

Paul had heard the doors open to the mess and looked up. He smiled when he saw her. "Hello." He indicated the chair next to his.

As she sat next to him, "I heard you were here. Guess you didn't want to go to that party either."

He shook his head. "No...I'm not interested in that era, and I wasn't in a party mood anyway. Can I get you something to eat?"

"I'm not really hungry."

"Maybe something light....some desert?" He asked.

She thought, "Now that sounds interesting."

Paul went and get her some cake and brought it back. "Here you are."

"Thank you." He sat back down as she sampled the cake. "Like it?"

Lyna nodded. "It's quite good, actually." She smiled at him and when he smiled back, she felt her legs turn into jelly.

Paul looked at her. "Would you be interested in seeing a movie with me?...in my quarters? It's an old Earth classic from the mid 20th century."

Lyna burst out quickly. "Yes I would!"

"Great. See you at 1900 hours then?"

"I'll be there."

They both got up, put their dishes in the recycler and left the mess, each on their separate ways.
