After Nichelle's message, Lily zipped up her bag, and was out of her quarters, moving quickly to the docking tube. She grinned seeing Nichelle,

"Hi there, pie you say? My favorite dessert, especially if its mixed berry with vanilla icecream on it. I can hardly wait!" giving Nichelle a friendly nudge with her shoulder. "You know, a song went through my head, by an old earth singer, Cyndi Lauper. 'Girls just wanna have fun' probably will fit our time on this station."

"Good one to have." Vannan smiled in her Sundress; the white with flowered pattern and strappy sandals with a small duffel over her shoulder. "I had 'Oh what a beautiful morning from the musical Oklahoma..." She laughed. "I think we have very eclectic tastes in music." She put her arm in Lily's. "Better get moving, so much to do and so little Shore-leave."

"I suppose they do, like our style of shore-leave outfits." looking down at her own outfit, which consisted of; black comfortable loose fitting yoga pants and a green tunic top which hit her upper thighs, with soft white lace on the bottom. For shoes she wore a pair of black sandals. "You look fabulous!" laughing, Nichelle was already being good medicine for Lily. "My stomach says I've been neglecting it. By the way, I love the musical Oklahoma."

"I first saw it in San Francisco; one of the Cadets is a musical freak so It sounded fun." Vannan shrugged. "S, I have a Room set aside with double beds; it was all I could get so if you haven't found anything you can bunk with me til you do." Offeriing to share. "I am used to going with groups and so I do it without thinking since I never seem to end up single bunking in a room." She winked as they stroll. "Always get a friend or someone at last minute."

"I'll take you up on your offer, Nichelle. I don't mind sharing a room with you. At least we won't have six people in one room, three sisters in one bed and three brothers on the floor." she chuckled, "My older siblings decided to camp out in my room, before three of us went back to duty. That was a crazy fun night, it was something we used to do when we were young." letting Nichelle lead the way.

"Duffle drop then pies?" Vannan suggested. "I do not want to be hindered by luggage as we see what there is to do?"

It did not take long to find the Hotel and her ground floor room with a small balcony pool side. Vannan went in forst and keyed the doors to open to their comm badges and toss her bundled onto the bed closest to the patio.

"You can have first accesss to the shower." She winked. "Grab the purse and let's get some pie."

Lily laughed, tossed her duffle on her bed, slung her black backpack purse over her shoulder. "Okay, let's go!" stepping out of the room, into whatever possible small adventure they could have. Even if it is just eating a good meal, especially have pie or a good dessert and having some laughs. "Wonder if they have a karaoke area here." gazing about at the sights and listening to the sounds. "Oh wow, it looks like this station is here to cater to people's desires and wants... " as a stray thought popped into her head of Pinocchio and Pleasure Island. Then another one came to mind. "Welcome to Fantasy Island" she said, "Wonder where Mr. Roarke is at, the one played by Ricardo Montalban."

"You got me there." Vannan said. "I was more for watching Magnum and him in those Short Shorts playing Volleyball on the beach as an Island show." SHe raised an eyebrow. "Tough "Fantasy Island does sound like a fun place."


"It had its moments, Mr. Roarke was quite the handsome man, and I liked watching him." she looked at Nichelle, "I will agree, Magnum was hot looking too." her stomach growled loudly, "Oh dear, my stomach is complaining right now, accusing me of neglecting it." laughing.

"Have you played Volleyball?" There was a sharp and bright twinkle in her yes. "I mean it is the greatest competitive gave in the universe. especially Beach Volley Ball; almost as good a flying in a Hang Glider." Vannan said with glee. "But we should be getting something to eat, then Pie."

"I have played volleyball, and its great fun playing it on the beach." Lily replied with a chuckle, "I even surf, that is great fun!"

"Oh you so have to teach me that one." Vannan smiled as she spoke with glee. "That sounds like so much fun. You do that and I'll take you up in a hang glider?" She suggested as they head for the door and the potential of Food and adventure.

"Hang-gliding, now that would be an interesting sport to try out. I don't mind teaching you how to surf. Hope you know how to swim." Lily stated. "Now, we just have to find someone who could recommend a good restaurant with a good pie." as they stepped out of the door.

Lily looked around to see if she could spy someone who could help, then addressed the station itself. "Hello Starbase, could you have someone direct us to a good restaurant, please?"

[Define your parameters for a good restaurant.] The computer replied.

"One known for fresh pies." Vannan added.


" A family style restaurant, nothing fancy, wooden booths with comfortable cushions. something with homestyle cooking and with good steaks, ham or chicken with a good selection of pies and icecream. Do you have something like that here? And what is your name, Station?" Lily feeling like the station deserved some respect. "I can show you an image of the place I am describing, if you'd like, as well as a menu." she offered.

A deep and rumbling voice bellowed from behind them; "That will not be necessary!"

Vannan put an elbow where the solar plexis should be, then straight arm with fist in the face; a face that took it without a flinch.

Lily whirled around, to see who had spoken, catching sight of Vannan's reaction to the person who came up from behind. Her eyes widened, "Okay... A rather quick response to a surprise." Lily stated to Nichelle.

The enormous Klingon hologram, T'gorr, stood to his full height; it was not within his program to return the blow with a swift beheading from his B'atleth, though the act itself was sufficiently within his behavioural database to have considered it. "Starrrfleet!" he spat with contempt, "perhaps like a child, you prefer if I appear ahead of you?!" he challenged, grinning a toothy grin.

To the person whom she was seeing. "Hello, I'm Lily, what is your name?"

"P'taq!" T'gorr roared, my name is unimportant! "I have only to know - are you of sufficient mettle to eat the food of warriors and emperors?" he again challenged, his lips curling into an amused and belittling smile. "Or are you for the food of that child's costume? Fluffy vanillas and delicate creams...?" his question blended seamlessly into a bellicose laugh, awaiting the 'Starlfleets' response.

"Somewhere with Human Pie as dessert." Vannan crossed her arms and gave him a wry grin and went up on her toes to be closer to his eye level. "You changed..." She gave a playful grin. "Rude to sneak up on a girl." She scolded. "No Klingon as I never sure how fresh the Gagh is and if it is bad no wine or Blood Pie will cover it." She met the stare." I dressed nice so a Human dining establishment where I do not have to do combat for extra utensils while in a nice dress thank you."

"What would you, consider a meal of warriors and emperors, T'gorr" Lily stated, " Steak medium rare with other things to the side or something else. " folding her arms over her chest. "Nichelle isn't dressed for battle, but you are wanting to get into a fight. Therefore, tell me what you consider the sort of meal you were referring to?"

The T’gorr hologram glowered at the pair, his throat emanating a low guttural rumble. “Gah! Filthy starrrfleet food!” The Klingon near shuddered, seemingly repulsed at the thought of food which neither bled nor breathed as it entered the mouth; “go to the main concourse!” he shouted “you will find the food of the weak there!”.

"Thank you T'gorr, much appreciate the directions and your interaction." Lily stated, linking her arm with Nichelle's and heading towards the main concourse, waving farewell towards T'gorr then concentrating on making their way to the main concourse. "We should find something good there then, after that we can explore a bit more. "

She commented to Nichelle, "At least we have the directions to go get food. I wonder if someone would be taking on T'gorr for a battle challenge."

The enormous hologram glared at the two as they walked away. More arrogant dejection, more dismissive visitors, more rudeness from organics. Being alerted to another encounter, he disappeared from the corridor...
