"Georgia and Her Friend""
written by:
anonymous ghost writer

         Georgia was finally back on solid ground. Earth. Someplace she could 
actually plant her southern feet in the dirt and get down and dirty. None of 
that holodeck stuff. This was real, full of worm, black gold DIRT.

         The first thing Georgia had done, once the Avalon had returned back 
to earth was to grab the first shuttle back to Southern Mississippi. Although 
a widow, she still liked to keep in tough with old friends when she had the 
chance and now was the perfect chance. She would, of course, remember to bring 
back a home made Pecan pie for Skyler and Mehdi.

         Every time she went back home, which wasn't as often as she would 
like, Georgia always stayed with her best friend Eliza Mae. Now if Eliza Mae 
were the one to tell the story, she would say that she is the one who taught 
Georgia how to make those home made Pecan pies. Put the two of them together in 
a 
room and they will argue about it for hours, until they are both on the floor, 
'bout ready to die from laughter.

         So it wasn't unusual to find Georgia and Eliza Mae sitting on 
Eliza's front porch, sippin' on some ice cold lemonade, spiked of course with 
something from the still. The two of them would be just a cacklin' away for 
hours, 
not really talking bout anything at all, yet telling at each other about 
everything. 

         This time the topic of conversation was Skyler. But then when wasn't 
Skyler the topic of most of Georgia's conversations? Georgia felt like 
Skyler's mother, grandmother and best friend all rolled up into one. (Truth be 
told, 
Skyler felt the same way.) Georgia could talk for hours about Skyler and 
Eliza Mae would let her, since she didn't have no chidren of her own.

         "I swear Eliza Mae, that child is gonna be the death of me yet. I 
just can't keep her under control. She's a wild one, that Skyler is."

         "Oh, whad' she go off 'en do now? Go and git herself knocked up or 
somethin?"

         "Eliza Mae!! You should know better than that. Goodness No. But she 
did up and get married to someone she hardly knew and to make things worse, we 
ended up going 500 yrs into the future and she went and made friends with the 
person that was tryin' to kill us."

         "NO, Skyler wouldn't do all of that. Not our Skyler.?"

         "I tell ya, Eliza. She is getting harder and harder to control.  To 
make matters worse, this new husband of hers is a Doctor and my boss. Now he 
can be a nice man, but did he have to marry my Skyler. She wasn't ready to be a 
married woman. She's only in her thirties. My God she is just a child still."

         "MMhmm I here ya Sister. Skyler is too young to be a married woman, 
off and running a Starship. She should be home learning the proper things for 
a young woman. Not things like shooting them phaser things. She needs to learn 
how to make my homemade Pecan pies!!"

         "YOUR PECAN PIES?! We both know whose recipe that is now don't we?"

         Both women would soon be embroiled in total laughter for the next 
several hours, neither one remembering the topic of conversation. Just 
remembering that they were back together again, if only for a few short days or 
even 
hours.

         Two friends, sippin lemonade spiked from the still, with their feet 
in good old, full of worms, black DIRT.
