A Good Start

-Sirius Black and Dodge Thomas



Sirius Black's head throbbed like the Devil on Sunday. He opened his eyes 
painfully and saw that Hobbes Harvey was still passed out on the floor of their 
shared cabin, surrounded by the three young females he had managed to procure. 
Sirius wasn't really interested in them, though.

After their session in the holodeck with Ensign Thomas, Harvey and Black had 
headed to a bar where they had indeed consumed far too many beverages of the 
non-synthehol type. Then, they had found women and had become further 
inebriated before tramping back to their cabin for more drinks.

Needless to say, Sirius regretted the past night. It quickly became evident 
that the tangy feeling of salivation was his body telling him that he had 
ingested far too much liquid refreshments and that no matter how Sirius felt, 
it was coming back up.

And come back up it did--all over the floor and walls of the bathroom. Sirius 
sat back after a few minutes and wiped a bit of nasty drool from his chin. It 
always did taste worse coming back up. Sickly murmurs from the main cabin 
alerted Sirius to the fact that his position in the bathroom would be in high 
demand soon, so he vacated.

He stumbled over the slowly stirring bodies on the floor and tumbled out into 
the corridor. Ensign Dodge Thomas failed to catch him and he collided with an 
unfriendly bulkhead.

"Black? Are you okay?"

Black only mumbled a response. Dodge bent down and helped him up. A small gash 
above Black's left eyebrow was beginning to seep blood.

"I'm fine, thanks anyway," Black looked up and his face became suddenly pale. 
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry, sir. I didn't mean to--that is, I should have--"

Dodge shook his head. "No, that's okay. And you don't have to call me sir. We 
aren't on duty, and besides, we're the same rank."

"Are you sure?"

"Yea. Wanna grab a drink?"

Black paled again. "Um. I'd rather not, if it's all the same to you."

Dodge smiled knowingly. "Hungry then?"

Sirius took a fleeting look at his cabin and then turned to Dodge. "I am 
hungry, but," he indicated his sweat and vomit stained clothing.

This time, Dodge laughed. "That's okay, we can eat at my place. I've got some 
clothes you could borrow."

It was Sirius's time to smile. "That'd be great, sir."

"Dodge, just Dodge."

"Okay. Call me Sirius." The two of them smiled and headed off towards a good 
friendship.
