I have introduced a few new caricatures; Tarra is in another story I'm writing called Only Hope? Read it and you'll find out her background but for now enjoy the story, and remember everyone needs to loosen up at times.
PS. It is Feb. 6 and I am still working on finishing Only Hope, If you have not yet read it you should probably
Tara walked calmly through the halls of Atlantis pondering over what had happened over a week ago. Two Wraith came through the stargate unexpectedly. No one was killed but them. Still it left everyone on edge, including Major Sheppard.
She stopped and lend up against the wall. What everyone really needed to loosen up. She glanced at the watch Rodney had given her, although she new nothing about how to tell time he had actually taken the time to explain it to her, which for him was vary unusual.
10:00 am it flashed. She continued down the hall not really knowing were she was going. Suddenly a thought entered her mind that made her smile. It was lunch in two hours and everyone was usually their. Hmmm yes it just might work.
As Tarra entered the mess hall she was relived to find few people their. The people who were their were ether talking or just sitting and having a cup of coffee. She approached the empty serving area a man with red hair and green eyes was looking at a clip board, pin in hand. He looked up as she approached saying he said.
"What do ya need?"
Tara could sense that the man was tired and irritated but she put on her sweetest smile and said.
"Um could I make a request for desert at lunch today?"
The older man looked puzzled so Tara quickly sent a wave of reassurance towards him. He seemed to relax a little but still seemed a little puzzled, and then Tara knew why.
"Oh I'm sorry you probably don't know me I'm Tara I helped Major Sheppard and Doctor Mckay escape the Sage." That's when the man smiled and said "All right if Dr. Weir says your ok then your fine with me." "So what have ya got?"
"Um do you know the recipe for banana cream pie?"
