<USS Avalon> "Alone in Thoughts" Cmdr Skyler

"Alone in Thoughts"
Cmdr Skyler  


Skyler was sitting on the bridge staring at the still darkened view screen  
wondering where the hell NoWhere was. I swear that man has more tricks up  his 
sleeve than anyone else I know. He was supposedly on his way  back to the 
bridge but seemed to be taking his own sweet time. How did  he know about 
talking 
to the other commander? It was all too confusing to  understand.
 
Instead she waited for the status reports to come in and wondered how Mel  
was doing. While waiting she had plenty of time to think. Think about all the  
time that had been lost between the two sister's. So much time had passed, so  
many things were lost. Things that could not be replaced.
 
Closing her eyes she could almost see her and Sunni playing near the  water's 
edge. The waves were lapping at their feet and Sunni was laughing  
hysterically. She could see their parents laughing along with them. It was all  
surreal. 
Georgia came bringing refreshments and joined in the laughter. Skyler  ran up 
and hugged Georgia's leg as she tried to walk. It was all quite humorous.  It 
was a happy time. A long time ago.
 
Now Sunni was going to have her own child to make memories with. She wasn't  
to pleased with Eli. He seemed to be spending too much time away from them. 
She  was the sister and wasn't going to interfere, yet. 
 
Skyler had agreed to go to the christening at the Redgrave estate, but she  
wasn't sure she would fit in. She was in actuality an outsider. A complete  
stranger. However she would go for Mel and the baby. Besides Georgia would drag 
 
her along anyway. Better to go gracefully than to be dragged by an elderly  
southern black woman. There was still time for that. She just wished that the  
Captain would get to the bridge so she could leave and see how Mel was really  
doing.
 
Time always seemed to drag on, on her  shift.
