Mike checked the time. It was nearly 6pm and he knew Kristi would be at his new quarters punctual as ever. The dinner he was prepairing didn’t worry him, as it was nearly done. Only problem he had with it was… he wasn’t hungry any longer, as he had to taste everything a bit more often then usual. After switching from the old Viking, where replicators very rarely made anything taste as you’d expect, it took a bit of getting used to the ingredients actually tasting … well as they usually do.

He realized how fun it was to have a bigger quarter. Not that he needed extra space before, but if things would hit of with Kristi it would come in handy. Pkus he got to show off his cooking skills again with the stove that was also installed. Perks of being the first born to parents who were a restaurant owners.

OOC: To Melissa… No worries if you’re dropping the Kristi character. I hope not though :) ((nope, she is the hidden character is all… still here and kicking))

Kristi was dressed in something Mike hadn’t seen before. She had picked it up on the station and saved it for just this night. The blue short dress with open work at the neck that needed no other adornments (1). She had on a simple silver bangle on her wrist (2) and matching colored silver heels (3). Her hair was down and pulled back on the sides with simple blue barrettes and a soft hint of lipstick was her only makeup. She knew she had probably done more than she should have. But this was their first real dinner date on the new ship and she wanted it to be a bit special. With luck, there wouldn’t be a need for breaking into their rations allotment because whatever came from the replicator wasn’t palatable.

Fussing a moment outside his door, she finally tapped the chime. She had been here plenty of times and it had occurred to her that though her quarters were still the same, and shared with an Ensign from Medical, his were more spacious. Which might prove to be a boon if they kept things going like they were. They were hardly alone on their off time any more and more than once she had spent the night here. She certainly wouldn’t be opposed to it happening more often. And she doubted her roommate would miss her since it would give her more privacy with her own beau from Security. The smile on her face at what the future might bring was what would be showing when Mike answered the door.

“Come in.” Mike yelled. As expected Kristi was right on time. He was nearly finished with food, and the table was already set for two with a bottle of wine in the middle, still chilling.

Mike only raised and turned his head towards his guest for a second, to check if the right person entered. Already looking back at the pot, his hand froze though while mixing, and he turned his head towards Kristi again.

”…uh wow… you look stunning.... um, make yourself comfortable, this is just about done.....” He turned the burner off.... then made another look in her direction. “Did I mention you looked great?”

He was still in his usual uniform, but thanks to the amazing new technology called Working replicators that were present on the ship, he actually replicated a light blue shirt and a black jacket.

“I’ll just go change, be right back.”

He quickly strode off to his bedroom, making another quick glance towards Kristi. He narrowly missed hitting the wall, then disappeared in the other room. After winning the fastest change of clothes award in the area of at least one light year around the ship, and making sure nothing sticked out of place in the mirror, he returned to the living room.

“I hope you’re hungry.” He said, and placed two pots with steam still rising from then on the table.

Kristi came in when Mike bellowed to enter. Seeing him half crouched behind the table, she smiled. “Hi,” she said when he glanced back. A blush rising on her cheeks at his double take at her. “Thanks…”

She had been about to apologize for over dressing when he excused himself. A laugh accompanied her nod when he said, again, how great she looked. Biting her lip as he nearly collided with the door, she watched him disappear into the bedroom. “I hope I’m not late. Dinner smells amazing!” She called back to him as she moved towards the window to glance out. She never grew tired of space. Even though there were always pinpoints of white out there, they were always different. Different layouts, different speeds of the ship, different moods when looking at them.

She had her back to him when he returned and spoke up. Turning around to face him, it was her turn to be impressed. “Very nice, yourself.” Smiling she moved back towards the table. “Definitely hungry,” was her response. “I tend to forget to eat during the shift. Guess I’m still not used to the replicators actually producing edible food.”

She laughed and moved up close to him as the second pot was set down. When he stopped moving, she planted a kiss on his cheek. “It really does smell great, Mike.”
