<USS Avalon> "Pecan Pie and Friends" Lt.1st. Class Georgia Lewis and Cmdr Skyler

"Pecan Pie and Friends"
Lt.1st. Class Georgia Lewis and Cmdr  Skyler
 
Georgia had gone back aboard DS9 to look for a  specific item. She had heard 
the recall notice but she still had some time left  before the ship would take 
off. She checked with the quartermaster on the  station and found that what 
she was looking for could be found in the arboretum.  He couldn't tell her for 
sure how many were available, he just knew that there  were some there.
 
After wandering around the promenade going from  shop to shop, she realized 
she was in her element. She stopped at one  establishment and spent several 
minutes looking around. It took her awhile but  she found it. She just hoped 
that 
Sunni would like it. She had found a mobile  with all sorts of brightly 
colored animals that played circus music as it went  round and round. She had 
remembered the one that Sunni had when she was little  and wanted to make sure 
that 
this child had a similar item.
 
Her next stop was that nasty little troll's  establishment. She had ordered a 
new supply of Skyler's favorite drink and she  was there to pick it up. She 
walked up to the counter and waved her large  wrinkled hand at the troll, "yous 
got whats I ordered?"
 
"Now, Ms. Georgia have I ever let you down in  the past? Of course I have 
what you ordered. In fact I have several cases of the  vile stuff. You would be 
doing me a favor if you were to remove it from this  establishment."
 
"Little man, just beam it to the destination I  gave you earlier. Heres are 
the credits wes agreed upon."
 
Georgia just scowled at him as she left for her  next destination. She could 
replicate most of the ingredients, but to make it  just perfect the final 
ingredient had to be real and not replicated. Packages in  hand she returned to 
the ship and to her quarter's.
 
She put the mobile away, and started to gather  what she needed. She 
replicated the flour, salt, baking powder and other spices.  She took the 
flour, mixed 
in a couple of eggs and a cup of milk and stirred  until the dough was the 
proper consistency. She then turned the bowel over onto  the counter which she 
had already covered in flour. Taking her strong hands she  kneaded the dough 
until it too was the right consistency.
 
Putting the dough off to the side, she began to  make the rest of the pie. 
She gathered the honey, a dash of cinnamon, the  shelled pecan's, two eggs and 
some milk. She mixed them until they would stay on  the spoon without falling 
off. It was in the middle of this process that she  heard her door chime.
 
"Enter."
 
The doors opened and allowed Skyler to enter.  "Ole' woman, what are you up 
to now? You had better make sure you have enough of  that dough and stuff for 
more than one pie? If the captain finds out you didn't  make him one, oh my 
God." The two women just laughed, remembering the last time  Georgia had made 
Keith a pie and beamed it to his quarter's.
 
"Dun't jest stand there? Gits over heres and  heps me out wit these. Yous 
knows hows to make'em almost as good as I or even  that ole' biddy Eliza Mae. 
Starts mixing everythin up and puts it in the pan.  Thens we can cook it. Is 
got 
enough for heres for yous, Ms. Melanie and even  that ole' grouch the captain."
 
After the pies were put into the little oven  Georgia poured them both a 
glass of old fashioned ice tea. "Comes on and sits  wit me on this here couch. 
Tells me whats new."
 
"Nothing to tell Georgia. All I know is that we  leave in a little less than 
11 hours for some new mission. I'm sure in due time  I will find out what it 
is. Oh, and thanks for the stash. You didn't have to  deal with that troll did 
you, cause if he gave you a hard time I can take care  of it for you."
 
"Dun't yous worry 'bout me and that troll. He  knows not to mess wit me. In 
fact he was jest glad to get it out of his  "establishment." Georgia laughed, 
"he couldn't get it out fast enough. Sos' hows  was your shore leave Ms. 
Skyler?"
 
"It started out okay....but then I kinda blew  it."
 
Georgia looked at Skyler, "What you mean yous  kinda blew it?"
 
Mia and I went to dinner, which was nice. After  dinner I bought her a gold 
chain and she wouldn't accept it. Said I was pushing  her. Maybe she's right. 
I'm not exactly the best in the relationship department  Georgia."
 
"Now, Ms. Skyler, Is will have none of that  kinds of talk. Yous is a good 
and kind person. Ifn you let people see the side  of you that I see, then yous 
will has no problems. Jest be yous."
 
"You're right as always Georgia. I just get  ahead of myself sometimes. 
Scared I'll lose someone else like I did Sunni and  Celeste."
 
Moving over to sit next to Skyler, Georgia  looked at her square in the eyes. 
"Yous has Sunni back and wit that, yous has a  part of Ms. Celeste. Dun't 
yous forgit that. Now goes and gits us sum of that  there pie, and dunt forget 
the milk!"
 
As Skyler got the pie and the milk she thought  about growing up with Georgia 
and Henry. "I thought of Henry last night. I even  read one of his old 
medical books. We sure had some good times, didn't we  Georgia?"
 
Georgia looked at Skyler for a moment with a  tear in her eye. "Yes, 
Ms.Skyler we surly did has us a good time wit my Henry.  He'd be so proud of 
hows yous 
turned out. Jest like Is am. It took me and Henry  awhile to gits together 
but we did and you will too. I jest know it. Now eat  that there pie afore it 
gits cold. Whilst yous is at it, beam one to Ms. Melanie  and to the captain."
 
"Yes'm." Georgia was the one person who Skyler  could always count on to make 
her feel better. Of course the pecan pie helped as  well.
