<USS Avalon> Sleepy Minds

Sleepy Minds 
by. Ensign Caine Reilly McKinsely

Halfway to Javan?s quarters, Caine stopped in the middle of the hallway, 
luckily no one was around to see her, so she was free to stand there thinking.  
Looking down at herself, she took in her raggedy looking black sweater and her 
loose fitting black pants, she looked a wreck and she knew there was a bump 
forming on her forehead.

She looked back the way she had come and the way she was headed, she could 
actually see Javan?s door from where she was standing.  Shaking her head she 
began to think to herself about what she was doing, *I must be crazy*.  He was 
most likely going to end up thinking of her as a stalker; to him he was most 
likely just another notch on his belt.  How could she go and ask him about a 
dream that was really just a dream, he would think her insane.

Turning, she began to make her way back to her quarters.  *Even if the dream 
did feel so real, that he and I were there together, it was still just a 
dream*, she thought as she forced herself to ignore the irony of her thoughts 
on dreams.  *Besides, what do we really know of each other?  Nothing really, we 
didn?t date long enough to really know each other.  I?m just being a fool 
thinking that anything more was going on between the two of us then just some 
simple dating.  Even if I do feel like I?ve fallen in love with him, he more 
then likely doesn?t feel the same way about me.*  

Walking back into her rooms, Caine walked over to her desk and sat down.  
Instead of talking to Javan about her dream, she would send a message to her 
cousin Nicole on the USS Halcyon, even if Nicole wouldn?t get it till her 
undercover mission was over, it would still be nice to send her something.

Caine completed the message and sent it.  Yawning behind her hand, she stood 
and moved back to her bedroom.  She only had a few more hours before she had to 
wake up and go to work, so Caine decided to make the best of her few hours and 
get some much needed sleep.  

As she was nodding off a final thought crossed her mind, *maybe this is why I?m 
dreaming about Javan all the time, yeah, that?s it, I?m going to blame it on 
lack of sleep*.  With that she drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
