Teilani turned in the captains’ bed, pulling the blanket up to her chin, when she felt Hunter leaning over her, kissing her on the cheek.
A smile curled around Teilani’s lips as she slowly opened one eye, only to notice that it was not Hunter who kissed her but it was Chester liking her cheek, and that she was still laying on the couch in Hunters quarters.
“Oh. Chester, Teilani moaned, go away”. “Man, she mumbled as she got up, another dream shot to pieces. I should quite with drinking coffee”. For a moment she remained sitting down, rubbing her eyes, trying to fully wake up. Chester was rubbing his head against her elbow, seeking to get her attention.
Teilani looked at the purring cat and rubbed his neck, “I love you to sweetie, she said, but I have to go, get back to work”.
“Computer: What time is it”? She asked. “It is 10.25hr”, the response came.
“10.25 hrs Teilani said with a startled voice, Oh no I overslept.” She quickly got up, folded the blanket and placed this on the corner of the couch.
There was only one thing she needed to do. “Computer, record message for Captain Hunter”. Recording, the computer said “Captain, thanks for the decaf, the couch and for listing. Teilani”.
“Be nice Chester, Teilani said as she walked out the door and headed to her quarters.

Once in her quarters, Teilani peeled of her uniform and stepped into the shower. The hot rays made her muscles relax and the smell of lilac’s refreshed her senses. She quickly put on a clean uniform and brushed her hair and braided it, at least it would not get in her eyes. However next time they were on QulTuq she would have it cut off.
When she was finished she walked over to the replicator and ordered; “A mug of coffee, Jamaican blend double strong, double sweet”, and with the mug in her hand she walked out the door of to another day in Sickbay.
