Remembering that she had promised Tel’eck that she would make her chocolate chip pancakes, Sharah had gotten up early that morning. The night before she had sent an invitation to the captain for her and Tel’eck to have breakfast with her. She was a horribly inept cook. But she could make pancakes, and she could order the rest from the replicator. Today was Sharah’s day off so she would have plenty of time to clean up after, she knew she’d make a total mess, but that was okay, she guessed.

She ordered assorted fruit and then eggs, bacon, and toast for a more traditional breakfast. She’d tried to make eggs herself, but she couldn’t get them right. Joseph always made them and made it look easy. However, there was chocolate covered strawberry granola to add to oatmeal, a large stack of homemade chocolate chip pancakes, chocolate raspberry muffins, Quinoa Chia Chocolate Breakfast Pudding, Coffee, Hot Chocolate, and Chocolate Milk. There was a definite theme for the breakfast. Even for a Betazoid it was over kill, but she thought that Tel’eck might enjoy it.

The invitation from Fayth was returned by Drudoc accepting it for the following morning. At 0600 sharp there was a soft chime at Fayth’s door.

Outside Tel’eck despite the early hour was a bundle of energy. “..This is so cool Mom! Not that you ever fail to make excellent breakfasts but its so cool to get someone else to do it besides the usual cooks too!” She said.

”..Indeed my Bright Star.” She said glancing at some passing NEs who glanced her way, some rushing off to the day shift just beginning, others coming off the night shift. A few glances were obvious what some NEs felt the single parent Captain was up too with pleased smiles. Sighing Drudoc figured the scuttle butt around this was going to be ripe with rumors. She just hoped it wasn’t taken the wrong way.
