Bomber had finally finished the coffee for Kate and Mike. she sighed a heavy sigh of relief once she had done it. She took a deep breath and started her walk up to the bridge. From the kitchen it was a long walk up a lot of stairs and long corridors.
Once she got there, the bridge crew were all very tired and were trudging around the bridge. Lockdown had obviously taken a toll on all of them. She went up to Kate and Mike to give them their coffees.
"Thanks Bomber." Kate smiled when she got hers.
"We there yet?" Bomber asked whilst yawning.
"Nearly there Bomber." Mike smiled.
Bomber was trying to hide a smile. She didn't want to look too pleased about being in lockdown but it was with one of the nicest bunch of people.
"What's for dinner?" Spider asked.
"Chips." Bomber responded.
"Is that all?" Charge spoke frowning.
"I haven't had a lot of time to think it over." Bomber responded to him.
"Oh. Well you'd better get back to the kitchen then." Spider laughed.
Bomber made a face at Spider. They were just like brother and sister most days. Neither of them could go a day without having at least one argument. Spider also made a face at her which caught the attention of Buffer and got an icy glare.
"Sorry Buf." Spider said quietly.
"You'd better be." Buffer mouthed.
Spider sank down in his seat to get out of Buffers sight. Bomber stifled laughter from coming out.
"I'd better get back to cooking." Bomber finally said.
"I'll come and help you." Spider said in one of his moods.
Spider went down the steps first to get out of Buffers sight. Bomber followed, smiling at Spider's misfortune.
"Those two are something aren't they?" Mike smirked.
"They got on my nerves." Buffer said scowling.
"Please don't let them Buffer." Mike pleaded.
"I'll try sir."
Mike sighed. Buffer was always in a mood. Spider and Bomber, as well as most of the crew, made him angry. True just being on a ship these days made him angry. Mike took a sip of his coffee.
"At least there's one thing."
"What's that sir?" Kate asked him taking a sip of her drink.
"Bomber can make very good coffee." Mike laughed.
Kate smiled. She couldn't agree more. Bomber had been part of the crew for a few years now and seemed to be getting into the stride of cooking and being part of the ship.

"This stupid kitchen!" Bomber yelled, kicking the oven.
"Don't kick it! We won't have any food." Spider yelled back.
"It won't work!"
"It will. Just give it time."
"Well do you want to try?!"
"I can't cook."
"Well that's that then." Bomber said leaning up against the draw.
"Don't give up Bomber. I'm hungry."
Bomber got a carrot out of the fridge and threw it at Spider's head. It struck Spider square in the face.
"Bomber!" Spider shouted.
"You should have ducked!" Bomber shouted back.
Spider came round the other side into the kitchen. Before they knew it, food was flying everywhere, as one threw one piece at one and then the other at the other.
"What's going on here?" Nav said whilst she was passing.
"Nothing." Spider and Bomber replied.
"Where's all this food going?" Nav said picking up something Bomber had thrown.
"It's tonight's tea." Bomber responded, biting her lip.
"And this is how you cook it, is it?"
"Yeah. New way of doing it." Spider perked up.
Nav scowled. She couldn't stay for much longer however, so moved on back to the bridge. Bomber turned to Spider and folded her arms.
"Thanks for that." Bomber said angry.
"You started it."
"Well now the whole ship will know that we've had a fight in the kitchen."
"And?"
"We'll get in trouble!"
Spider shrugged. Bomber knew it wasn't any use to argue with Spider anymore. She just got about cooking again. Spider sighed and then went about helping her. Bomber just ignored Spider whilst he did this.

Swaine was sitting in sick bay since they had gotten the word they were in lockdown, no one had come to see him about anything. Which was kind of good in lockdown as it meant no one had the virus and couldn't spread it around the whole ship. It also meant that he was very bored!
"You busy?" 2Dads asked walking in.
"Oh yes, I'm fit to bursting in here." Swaine said sarcastically.
"Just like everywhere else then."
"Seems so."
2dads sat down across from Swaine and put his feet up. In a usual instance, Swaine would shout at 2dads for this but as nothing else was going on, it was the only thing interesting going on.
"Isn't there something you should be doing?" Swaine asked.
"Not at the moment." 2dads smiled.
"Like everyone else on this ship then."
"Well, there's nothing to do. Everything we were going to do was back on the mainland."
"So true."
2dads leaned back in his seat. Swaine was keeping his frustrations at this in his own head. Swaine didn't like change so wasn't exactly going to get along with lockdown on the ship. Him like everyone else was ready to go back to land and see their friends and family. Now, they couldn't do anything but wait.
