“Thank you.”

“Don’t pay her no mind she’ll sleep with anything that bleeds once a month hi I’m Lieutenant Pieszecki, “she says extending her hand for her to shake it, “I’m the training officer.”

“Nice to meet you both, “she says shaking her hand, “Is this normal?”

“If you’re a guest on the Jerry Springer show it is.”

“You’re just jealous admit it!?”

“I’m jealous!?”

“Yeah you I don’t see anyone else standing in front of me!”

“Me jealous of you? Well bless your little delusional heart!”

“Don’t patronize me Tina!”

“I wouldn’t have to if that high horse you been sitting on bucks you off!”

“I am not riding on a high horse I just always had confidence in myself even when you didn’t!”

“That is a lie and you know it I’ve always supported you and you’re dreams even when you wanted to join that roller derby team Gisele’s Bund-chens!”

“You said I would suck!”

“I said I didn’t think you would be good at it and to be careful Bette you trip every time going up the stairs!”

“Oh, so that was you caring?”

“Oh so who’s being the patronizing one now hey Bette you know if you were a car your check asshole light would be on!”

“And you can just kiss my——.”

“Hey….hey….hey you two, “Chaplin Fairbanks says stepping in between them, “Geeeesh, that’s enough!”

“What the hell Dana, “Captain Porter says in shock.

“Hi Bette, “she says giving her a hug, “It’s so good to see you well not in these conditions but it really is nice to see you again.” Bette was stiff as a board still in shock.

“Are you stationed onboard too!?”

“I sure am, “she says proudly.

“So my sister, one of my best friends, and my ex all on the same ship my luck can’t be this bad!”

“Oh, don’t say that there’s no such thing as bad luck.”

“My luck is so bad if I bought a commentary people would stop dying!”

“Come on you have to be a little bit more positive?”

“Positive Dane? How can I when I am being forced to stare at her every day!?”

“Like, I want to stare at you either!”

“Oh, “she says her mood changing, “So, you’re not excited that I’m here?”
