This week with Arlene and Jeff:
...Diana, a bit apprehensive, walked up Ship's ramp. The hatch opened and she went on inside.
"Hello, Diana. May I help you?" Ship said, her voice a cross between seductive and business.
"If you don't mind, I would like to have a chat with you."
"Of course."
"Could we do it on the Bridge?" And Diana was suddenly there.
The Clan Queen almost giggled as she looked around her. "May I?" she asked as she walked over, but for some reason today, paused before sitting in the Captain's seat.
Ship returned. "If you do not tell him, I will not," she responded with a hint of amusement in her voice. "Refreshments?" she asked, continuing with some of the etiquette lessons she had learned.
"Would iced lemonade be a problem?"
"No problem," Ship replied a millisecond before the refreshment appeared in the drink holder on the arm of the seat, the sides of the glass already beginning to frost.
Diana sipped and complemented Ship on the taste.
"It is, after all, your recipe." Ship returned.
"Hmmm. Somehow, it tastes better when someone else prepares it."...
Have a goodun;
