Celebrating Birthdays

[no_ordinarylife]

It seems like yesterday they were just celebrating his birthday. It's been months since the crew assembled in the lounge and the newest ship to bear the name Enterprise is almost ready for her initial test flights. The deep seated anticipation has driven him back to work. It's the only way to keep himself sane. There are people he wants to see before his time at Yorktown is over. Amara is at the top of his list. He secretly hopes he can convince her the next five years would be worth her while.

He arrives with not just one, but two, bottles of tequila. One in each hand.

"Yeah. This place has an extreme lack of dive bars." She agreed. "Shame. Guess I won't be giving you my rendition of "Lime in the Coconut" this time then."

"Have some more tequila. You might change your mind."

She laughed, shaking her head.

"I would think you'd want to avoid the horror that is me singing."

"You're off key, loud, and definitely proud. What's not to love?"

[cadet_amara]

"Oh I don't know, the sound?" She laughed, shaking her head a little.

"You'll fit in just fine. We do karaoke every other week. Nobody else can sing either. You should hear Chapel's rendition of 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'."

"I look forward to it." She grinned, raising her glass a little in a quick toast before drinking it.
