<USS Avalon> Georgia and the Commander part 2

"Georgia and the Commander" part 2
Written by:
 Georgia Lewis & Cmdr Skyler

         Georgia had finished her inoculations of the bridge crew and had 
asked to speak with Cmdr. Skyler. Skyler motioned for Georgia to join her in 
her 
office. 

         "Waterson, you have the bridge, let me know if anything exciting 
happens."

         Waterson turned around from her place at helm and nodded at the 
Commander.
         
         "Understood Commander."

         Skyler shut the door behind her and offered Georgia a chair and 
something to drink. She could tell something was bothering her old friend but 
she 
wasn't sure what it was. 

         Georgia waited patiently for Skyler to start the conversation, but 
it didn't appear like that was going to happen. So Georgia took a deep breath 
and started it for the both of them.

         "Ms Skyler, do you ever get bothered by so much change happening so 
fast? So fast that it almost takes your breath away and you don't think you 
will ever catch up."

         Skyler looked at Georgia and finally put two and two together. 
Georgia was upset with all the changes that were occurring in sickbay at the 
moment. Who could blame her. In less than a month she was on her second CMO and 
Counselor. That would be a lot for anyone to handle. Let alone someone like 
Georgia who didn't handle change well at all.

         "Georgia, I know that there are a lot of changes going on in the 
Medical Department right now. I also know that you don't handle change well, 
but 
you have to remember that change goes along with being in Starfleet. You never 
know for sure where you will be assigned from one day to the next. Sometimes 
you just have to take a deep breath and do the best you can. I know it's hard 
but I have every faith in you, that you will survive these changes. Who knows, 
you may even like the changes."

         Georgia didn't look like she believed a word of what Skyler had just 
said. But since Skyler had never lied to her, she had to believe that what 
Skyler was telling her was true.

         "Ms Skyler, I knows that I have to accept the changes because there 
ain't anything I can do about them. It's just that they make me nervous when 
they happen all at once, like they are happening now. I jest get used to one 
Doctor's way of doing things and then another one comes along and changes 
things 
to their own way of doing things. I just don't want to screw up and look like 
a hick fool in front of them fancy pants Doctor's."

         Skyler just smiled.  "Georgia, don't you know you could run circles 
around those fancy pants Doctor's. You just have to have some confidence in 
yourself. I know I have confidence in you. Otherwise I wouldn't have requested 
that you be assigned to this ship. You are one of the best nurses I know and I 
wouldn't want anyone else taking care of me. Now you just get those silly 
ideas out of your mind and remember that I trust you and know you can do 
whatever 
you set your mind to. Besides who else can make a pecan pie like you can? No 
One!!! Just be patient and everything will work out the way they are supposed 
to."

         Georgia looked at Skyler and knew that everything would be okay. The 
two women got up and both hugged each other like the ole friends that they 
were. Georgia then left the office and returned to Sickbay and Skyler resumed 
her spot on the Bridge. All in all it was a good conversation for them both.
