Dr Bret Rogers documented his charts of the day and prepared to sign off. The chances of going down to the planet had probably been low so he would then prepare to finish his evening in the holodeck with fishing program 1.

Turning around he thought he heard a voice but no one was in his immediate vicinity.

" Doctor Long? Did you say something?" Bret called out"

Kristian looked up from the charting she was doing and looked around sick bay, I didn't hear anything. You sure you heard someone talking?"

" I thought so. Must have just been my inner voice saying " go fishing. I plan to use the holodeck later." Bret replied.

"We've had some interesting missions since we entered this new sector of space," Kristian commented. "Going fishing sounds like fun something I've not done in years. Mum wasn't into it so we didn't go that often."

" You should come along. I would love your company." Beet replied.

"That is a very tempting suggestion," Kristian said.

Brrt smiled and then stood up. Last night's surgeries were minimal and so now it was time to retire to his old fishing hole. As he exited the sickbay he remembered his favorite plug was still in his tackle box so it was a quick stop at his quarters first.

< Brets Quarters>

Bret entered and walked over to the box only to discover its was missing because he had placed it onto his favorite fishing hat. Exiting the room he quickly walked to holodeck 3.

< Holodeck 3 >

Fishing Hole 1 started running and Brett found himself casting from the bank.

Kristian changed into a pair of shorts and tank top, replicated a fishing pole and some tackle and headed for the holo deck, once there she walked in and over to where Brett was. "It's been a long time since I've done this so I'm going to be very rusty,"

" Non sense girlie. Just let your imagination run wild." Bret replied as he set his pole down into a rock holder. " Are you afraid of worms? In real life I started used gagh...serpent worms. Bass love those."

Kristian couldn't help but laugh, "I'm a doctor, I've seen it all. Worms don't scare me."

" Okay.." Bret snickered as he cast and half his serpent worm jumped off line and onto her shoulder. " Slippery little things."

Kristian picked up the worm off her shoulder, picked up her fishing pole, baited the hook and cast it into the water." Thanks for the worm."

A measure of time passed and each got their share of the holo- fish as it was designed to entertain. Bret grew bored and as usual rested under his favorite tree for a nap.

" It my nap time . I appreciate you joining me Chief." Bret said to his department chief.


"Thank you for inviting me. I needed the distraction," Kristian said gathering up her fishing pole and tackle box. "Enjoy your nap." With that she bid him goodbye and headed out.

Bret smiled as it had been a long time since fishing and hanging out with a pretty girl.

* That was naughty of you to put worms on her shoulder. ) Brets imaginary voice said out loud .

" Who is here? Show yourself" Bret yelled out.
* No need to yelled Bret no one can hear you.)

" Computer end program." Bret yelled.

Tbc....
