Captain's Log Stardate: 48879.0

We have been stranded in the Delta Quadrant for nearly four months now. The human half of the crew has adjusted quite well. The vampire half is having a bit more trouble. Admiral Aro has decided to work on the ship as a crew member. He works on the bridge as a lieutenant for Communications, Transporters and, when needed, Security. He was a little clumsy with the weapons at first, but he learned how to manage one again. Most of the vampires started to settle after Aro became an official member of the crew. It seems as though he has grown a liking to a young lieutenant in Science. Lieutenant Paris thinks they might become a couple, but Ensign Kim thinks Lieutenant Swan and Ensign Cullen will be the couple. Rumor has it, they placed a bet.

(Tom and Harry are walking down a corridor)

Tom: Oh, come on, Harry. There's no way it can be Bella and Edward. It's too obvious.

Harry: Better watch it, Tom. This might end as one of your dates; badly."

Harry and Tom laugh and enter Mess Hall.

Neelix: (cheerfully) Gentlemen, I have cooked up some Alfarian Hair Pasta today.

Tom: (nervously) Thanks, Neelix. It's just a name, right?

Neelix: (Thinking) No, it's actually hair from an animal called an Alfara. I've been brushing up on my Earth knowledge. The Alfara can be compared to a…um, oh, a sheep.

(Bella walks in followed by Edward. Edward's eyes are dark.)

Bella: Which one today, Edward?

Edward: You don't have to do this, Lieutenant.

Bella: I don't mind. You don't have enough rations for the whole trip because you gave them to Ensign Wildman. Neelix and I are still trying to find that substitute.

Edward: *sighs* Alright then, I'll have deer.

Bella: (smiles triumphantly) Computer, one glass of deer, please.

(Bella grabs glass in replicator and hands it to Edward. Edward drinks hesitantly.)

Harry: (smiling hopefully) Hey, guys. I see that you two are growing close.

Bella: Yeah, I guess we are.

Tom: But you bonded with Aro first, right?

Edward: We've heard the rumors. Did you two really place a bet?

Tom: Nothing much, just one month's rations to the winner.

Edward: I owe you three hours on the holo-deck.

Tom and Harry looked at Bella and Edward. Bella sees their looks.

Bella: I bet that the rumors were true and Edward thought they weren't.

Tom and Harry: Ah!
