Mission: Shore Leave Planet Caldwell
Location: runabout
Timeline: current

ON:

The runabout arrived at the planet Caldwell, the co-pilot announcing their arrival over the intercom in the rear. The two people in the back, already packed and carrying one mid-sized bag each over their left and right shoulders respectively, came forward through the hatch to the cokpit. There she was, a pristine sight while floating pretty in orbit over an Earth-like planet. A multitude of diverse ecosystems. Bjorgo, his bag on his left shoulder, looked over at his companion.

"Why am I kinda, I don't know...giddy?" He asked.

Ro Green looked over to her left, meeting his eyes with her gaze. "It's home, no matter where else we go. I'm a bit stoked myself. But, there's always Paris." She gave a wicked, mischievous grin.

Tore gave the same grin and expression in return. Their first 48 hours on Earth were waiting for when the Fed. Council could see them. So, for 48 hours the two of them had travelled Europe, taking in all the sites and sights, and spending a lot of time in each other's arms. They had finally made the connection and Paris just seemed the place to start it all off as a relationship. Ro had contacted Starfleet Command regularly to stay caught up on what the Dora was doing while she was away playing politics and diplomacy. All the reports had showed outstanding performance by the crew, but her main interest was Jamie O'Connell. With her sudden departure he had been thrust into the XO seat, and according to all she read, he had performed above expectation. Not that she had been worried about his capabilities, only that it had been sudden. All the department logs showed they had all performed their duties above board.

Green heard a snapping noise and blinked her eyes quickly as she came out of her deep thoughts, looking at a hand snapping its fingers which led to Bjorgo down the arm. "Uhhh..hi," she said, a silly grin on her face. "Sorry, zoned out a minute. I need to get home and just be home."

"I share that sentiment." Replied Bjorgo.

The co-pilot spun halfway to the left to look back at them. "Step over to the transporter pads and we'll get you home, Sirs. We hope you pick Courier Spacelines for your next jaunt across the stars." The LT gave a grin. "Anyway, you two take care."

Ro spoke up forst. "Thank you, Lt. You too. Energize." The two Amandora officers shimmered out of existence and materialized aboard the Dora, Transporter Room Two.

Leaning in while taking his hand in hers, Green kissed the left corner of his mouth and gave his hand a gentle squeeze which was reciprocated. "Love ya, but I gotta get a water shower in. And, I need me time."

Tore responded to her kiss and what she said by giving her a peck in return. "I understand. I need to quiet my mind too. See ya later." Another peck. "Love ya." They left with her slightly ahead of him. She went left, he went right.
