T'Pol stood with the senior bridge crew and a few other security officers and several MACO's including Corporal Amanda Cole. They all turned at the sound of Major Hayes clearing his throat. After the speech, they were grouped into pairs. Hoshi and Hawkin, Travis and Ramiro, Reed and Smith, Trip and Amanda, Archer and Chang and T'Pol and Kennedy.
Getting with their partners, Hayes began to speak. Listening to the instruction, they faced their partners. T'Pol looked over Kennedy's shoulder at Trip and Amanda. They were getting along quite well, which confused T'Pol even more. Turning her attention back to Hayes and his partner, she watched as he did a move knocking his partner to the floor.
Trip could not help flirt with the beautiful MACO, who was his partner. Last night had been fun; they attended movie night and then dinner. Figuring the Vulcan, the one who he has fallen in love with would never return his feelings, decided it best to pursue a relationship with someone else. Amanda was a fun person to be around, she knew her way around weapons and seemed a lot stronger than she led on.
Amanda knocked him to the floor in one swift motion. "You need to pay more attention Commander." She said helping him up, going back to her defensive position.
"It's not gentlemanly to strike a woman." Trip responded smiling at her.
"Well Commander. It is every man, women and child for themselves. If there is a war, you are going to have no choice." She said striking him again.
Trip looked up at the smiling face of Amanda. Glancing at T'Pol, he saw her knock her partner to the floor. "Maybe your right." He told her as she helped him up.
Twenty minutes went by; T'Pol had managed to block her partner's moves, knocking him to the floor several times. She could not help but watch Trip and Amanda, the corporal knocked him to the floor a few times, watching him laugh as he got up. The way they were flirting with each other made her think they were more than friends. T'Pol did not want him with anyone else but the logical side of her won saying 'He is not your property; he is free to be with whom ever he wants. If he's happy, let him be.' Distracted by that thought she did not pay attention to what her partner did next, she found herself on the floor looking up at the face of Kennedy. Standing up and dusting herself off, they continued for another half hour.
Once the exercise was over, she was the first one out the door. Breathing in and out, she entered her quarters. Stripping her outfit off, herself and entered the shower, letting the warm water caressed her body. 'He no longer feels that way for you. If he wants to be with someone else let him. His happiness is all that matters.' Were the thoughts that passed through her mind as she turned off the water.
Stepping out of the shower, she dried herself, got into her pink pajamas tying her rope around herself, and waited for Corporal Cole.
