"Well if you put your arms around me I might warm up." she smiled.

He puts his arm around her. I don't think that will ever be a problem. He helped her back on to the Ferris wheel.

She sat down and waited for the wheel to start.

He sat down next to her close and put his arm back around her as the wheel started. Even though I travelled among them all my life I still used to stare out at the night sky. My father said all the Lassiters did. Its teh pilot blood.

She smiled, "I watched the night skies too. My father and I would lay on the grass and look up at the stars. I always told him someday I would go out there and he said, We'll see. As you can tell this is not the life they wanted for me."

It takes a lot of guts to do what is in your heart. He pulled her tightly to him for a moment. I think they would still be proud of the fact that you kept 'home' in your heart. I think thats the most important things. The values you learned hear have traveled with you to the stars. Isn't that something? Here we are just above the EArth and sitting in a program of a place we are probably flying over. Maybe one day you'll want me to meet the family.

"I know they are proud of me. But they had a plan and well I broke it." she laughed. "I have to take Davey to see my mom and dad. Mom isnt doing well and she may not make it much longer. Your welcome to come and it might make things easier."

She laughs with him. "No, it will make my mom feel better. Shes old fashioned, well very old fashioned. And well she thinks all woman need a man, so having Davey worries her that no one will want me."
"Now I know thats silly but thats her, and I love her to death. The doctors don't know whats wrong with her. Just that she has maybe a yr. You dont have to go, and I mean that." Sandy looks down at her hands as they grip the bar turning her fingers white.

"Alright I'm leaving the ship at 9, so if you want to have breakfast with Davey and me be there at 7:30. You'll like mom. People say look at Ann and see Sandra." She leaned against him.

Now, I'm nervous. I'm about to meet the folks and I don't know if I know enough about you. This is kind of our first date. I just doo't want them to hate me. That would be bad. He squeezed her hand. I look forward to meeting them. I only hope the same applies.

"Like I said you don't have to go. I need to go cause shes sick. They won't hate you. They will see what I see. Anyways enough of that."
"After this what do you want to do?" This was the first time in a long time she was spending time with another adult and one she was attracted to. It was nice.

Now, I want to take you back to my place for time in the absence of a crowd. Holo or other. I think a nightcap is in order.
