Aloha

Mission: Respite
Location: Earth

Deanna and Celes had enjoyed Australia much as they had enjoyed Greece and Miami. The last leg of this vacation was now in full swing as they walked out to the beach of Waikiki on the Hawaiian Islands. The white sands were beautiful, and the waves were coming in hard and heavy, making it a good time for the surfers.

"It really is beautiful" Celes said.

"Welcome to paradise on Earth" replied Ayana.

"It reminds me of Betazed."

"My only visit to Betazed I viewed the botanical gardens. I've never seen so many flowers in one place in all my life."

Deanna smiled. "You should see the view around Lake Rix. That will make you cry from the beauty" replied Celes.

The two women laid out on the beach and were enjoying the stress free environment when a lieutenant approached them. "Excuse me, are either of you lieutenant Celes?"

Deanna sat up. "I am. What can I do for you lieutenant?"

"Sorry to bother you but I have been instructed to deliver this message to you from your captain."

Celes took the PaDD and looked at it, a look of concern falling over her quickly. She looked at Ayana, "We have to get back to the ship immediately. We've been recalled."

Ayana begrudgingly got up and took one more look at the beach and the ocean. She picked up her towel and shook out the sand. "Aloha" she said softly and then turned and chased after Celes.
