Friends

Janet and Rick Shale were in the holodeck running a few laps around a rather peaceful setting. A lake and the woods. Over the past couple weeks the two had become good friends spending a lot of time together. The two had done their usual 2K run and stopped to cool down by stretching their legs and arms so they wouldn't pull any tendons later the next day. Janet had thought of the people that had died in the past month and she felt rather sombre. She noticed that Rick was not acting his normal self. Janet looked at him and felt something she hadn't felt in almost ten years since high school. She liked the chief and was fond of him and his good personality.

"Hey Rick would you go to dinner with me tonight ? I don't feel like dinning alone tonight."

The chief wiped the sweat off his face and smiled and then said sure. Janet's heart began to race and felt a little funny in her .

<Lieutenant Gordon report to the Bridge ASAP.]

She tapped her badge on her sweatsuit. "Gordon here. What is it ?"

[The Captain want's to run some more test before Delta shift comes on duty.]

"Very well, I'll be there in twelve minutes. Gordon out."

She smiled and then gave frustrated look, and then tried to talk to the chief, but he finished what she was going to say.

"I'll be at your quarters at 21:00 hours. Then after dinner I'll take you to see the 1972 boxing match between Mohammed Ali and George Foreman."

She knew that the Chief liked boxing and even began to enjoy it herself regardless of its savageness. Though she did enjoyed the endurance of the athletes.

"Okay then I guess I'll see you later." She said smiling stepping out of the holodeck.
