"What Happens on Risa....Stays on Risa.."

 

A joint log: Lt.Arch Angel & cmdr.Kwalas...(Schwansee)...

 

They were on a much needed shore leave due to the recent missons,and experiences they had encountered...little did they know

they were on the same planet,and resort beach at the same time....

John had payed and tipped the bartender at the beach side bar on the Risa prime resort ...turned with his large Pinacolada in his

one hand,and his beach towel in the other...heading back to the beach to his beach side chair.......

Kat was walking down the beach on Risa,she saw a few beach chairs and decided to take a rest for a bit to enjoy the soft rolling

of the surf as it swept to and fro...she sat down on the edge of her chair sipping on her glass of cool water.

John casually walked back to his chair,taking in the salt air and sunshine...when he got to the chair he plopped down...easing

his toes into the sand ..Kat was watching the gently waves come up to the beach,it was peaceful there..and this was exactly what

she needed after such an intense misson,it was good to sit back and relax for a change.....feeling the wind on her face,tranquility.

John had leaned back and gotten comfortable and busy sipping and enjoying the long forgotten taste of the coconut,and pineapple

rum drink....taking in the peaceful surroundings,he needed the rest and relaxation,his entire world had been turned upside down..

inside out recently...you tend to forget the smaller things in life when it deals you a hand from a stacked deck...he settled deeper in

the padded chair...relaxing..looking around the beach,it appeared to be pretty deserted with the few exceptions of a few here and there strung up and down the beach.

Kat sitting quietly on the edge of her chair..looking out to sea...suddenly her attention was attracted to a dolphin as it easily leapt

from the surf...diving in and back out playfully in the distance......she stood to get a better view of the creature,she loved the sea

creatures...their graceful movement,the way they moved so fluidly,as if in a grand ballet...she smiled as the mammal jumped.

He had just sipped and swallowed from his lucious drink,relishing every drop...reflecting on recent events and memories,when

he took another sip,and literally spit it back out as there...before him,maybe twenty feet in front of him he saw an all to familiar

silhouette stood up from a chair...this could not be...how,when,could she have been there,at the same time he was...he had to know...he jumped to his feet.....Kat standing in awe of the playfulness of the dolphins,it almost made her desire to run down to

the sea and join them...he approached the figure in front of him ...announcing "little one"??,as he continued hesitantly..

Kat turned quickly as she heard the voice from behind her..shocking her back from the peaceful and rhythmic dance of the sea

creatures she had been enjoying so much...the sound,tone,and the content was one she had not heard for a very long time...she

turned to face the oncoming figure,she placed a hand low over her eyes to shield them from the sun so she could make out who

exactly was calling to her by a name only few even knew..she smiled with delight when she realized it was her dear old friend

Arch Angel.."Arch"..it is you.she excalimed...she walked towards him.

His pace quickened into a full run....yes,it was her..a face and person he had not seen for what seemed likened unto centuries

his old friend Schawnsee...his little one,when within arms length he reached out and picked her small frame off the ground,hoisting

her up over his six foot height..he seemed like a child that had found his most prized possession from long ago.

Kat laughed as he picked her up and began swinging her around like a childs doll..it was good to see him again after so many,many

years.."what are you doing here...how long has it been..and you are a site for sore eyes indeed" she asked while he was swinging

her around....holding onto his arms.

John was laughing uncontrollably now as he swung her around...you have no idea how good it is to see you again little one.....he

gently set her back to the beach...still holding on to her arms,smiling from ear to ear...uttering a barrage of questions at the same time she was ...he paused ,blushed,sorry little one just so happy to see you,you go ahead,you ask your questions first...he smiled.

She looked at him...What are you doing here?,last I knew you were being transferred to the Reaent,I do not remember seeing it

in orbit...Kat looked into his face smiling.

Dropping his gaze for a moment,his features taking on a serious visage,the Reaents in the yards being refitted and reconstructed

literally...we took a pretty bad beating at the battle of peoples head....bad indeed,I lost a lot of good friends and fellow pilots there

you would have approved of them all..a good crew,they served and died bravely...and with much honor...he looked back at her

seeing her face made his smile come back...she always could..So I guess I'm on extended shore leave now,how about you...what

are you doing here except driving all the men wild...picking at her.

Kat giggled at his picking..."well I am on shore leave for the time being..we have had an intense mission ourselves so they thought we needed a break...by the way I believe you will be proud to hear ...I finally made Cmdr., and am now Cheif of security,you did

always tell me I could do anything if I set my mind to it,..I just simply took you up on that motivation...apparently it worked.

He took a step back...snapped to attention...snapped off a salute,grinning all the while,he smiled ,heh,proud of you indeed ..knew

you could do it ...little one,..well I'm still just a fighter jock...He looked at the sun as it was going down...hey you up for some food?

I understand the quzine is great here...pointing at the reggae style beach restaurant and lounge...We have a lot of catching up to do

Commander,he said wryly,smiling.....Kat grinned,..Ok ,on one condition..stop the commander stuff,It is still me,I'm still the little one

you have known and protected from way back when...first though lets watch the sunset,I have not been able to watch anything

like this for a long time...well a natural sunset any way....He looked back,he knew that tone all too well,ok little one,as you wish..

she was rubbing her arms a bit as the air was cooling around them as the sun was setting,..he took the beach towel from around

his neck,and wrapped it around her,..this was a perfect ending to a perfect day,old friends seeing a beautiful sunset from the eyes

they had watched from together so many years ago...He looked at her grinning,heh.my beach towel looks like a robe on you,like

the trade blanket from years ago...still my little one...He turned his face to the sunset,being silent...enjoying the moment..
