Same as you. And with that Shane turned to the waitress at the bar and order two beer and two shots of vodka.

Me again. Well last time we talked, I told you that I was the new Chef for the mission. After that me and Lara had to go to training camp. It was like space camp for kids without the fun part. They wanted to be sure that our bodies were strong enough for space flight. Good news is our bodies where top space. So Im continuing telling you my little space adventure the day Lara and I leave our little Earth for the Mars space station.

I was in my apartment waiting for the ISA to take me. I was so exited, it was hard for me to control myself. So when I heard a loud knock on my door I jumped and fell off the couch. I was so surprised to find myself on the floor that it took me a few seconds to figured out why I was there. I stood up fast at the second knock at the door and ran to it and opened it trying to look cool. The man looked at me, then at the clipboard in his hand and said,

Alice Pieszecki?! I bobbed my head up and down barely able to contain my excitement.

I waved my hand at him smiling Thats me. Yep, Im Alice. Alice Pieszecki. Chef Alice. He looked at me as if he were looking at a crazy person. I turned around to point at the suitcases by the door.

All my thing are ready. I only have those. He grab them both and barked,

Follow me then. And with that I was off for the biggest adventure of my life.

Shane and Dana were having fun talking and drinking. Shane had told her some funny story from her training day at the piloting academy and Dana was laughing loudly making a few heads turn in their direction. Shane was trying her best to not flirt with Dana but the more Dana was drinking and loosening up letting go of the normally so serious and careful Dana Fairbanks the more Shane was finding her attractive.
