ON:

The snow sprayed into her mouth as she slipped and tripped down the last 100 yards of the downhill slope, finally ending in an undignified heap at the base of the mountain. Lucy sat there for a while, trying to understand why she liked skiing so much and why the holodeck made her programme with replicated snow, rather then holographic. She would now have to walk back to her quarters with a soggy bottom.

She placed her poles either side of her and willed her arms to push herself up. "Computer?" she asked, rather too gruffly, "save and end programme." Tignes vanished before her eyes and she walked out of the door.

“Lucy,� Kerr called out as she crossed his path and began to awkwardly down the corridor in front of him. “Everything all right?� He looked at her dishevelled form stumbling down before him.

Lucy screwed her eyes shut as she heard this. She would have to see the Captain looking like she had taken a shower and forgotten to undress herself first.

As she turned around to face him, Kerr’s head automatically lunged back at the tousled visage of his chief counsellor. “Ms. Carter,� he said, correcting his posture and a subtle smile rising from the corners of his mouth, “it looks like you need a hot chocolate.�

Lucy thought she had heard only a handful of better ideas in her life. "That, Captain, would be wonderful. Shall we go to The Golden Crown?"

“Of course,� he replied, joining her in her stride.
