Jon is hard at work in the mess hall of the Sentinel. He is working closely with the ship's cook, having early utilized Rok's resources on the starbase to provide him with an authentic turkey. There was a large assortment of food laid out at the back of the galley that Jon and the chef had been working hard to prepare for a dinner with Commander Arnimane, Ensign Daniels, Lieutenant Xylvarenn, and of course Lieutenant Walker. In addition to the turkey one could spot ham, cheesy mashed potatoes, stuffing, and a few other traditional Earth foods. The one item that stuck out was eggplant parmesan...Jon had left the chef take care of that one. He wipes his brow and takes a step out of the galley to cool off for a moment, hitting his combadge.
"Cameron to Lieutenant Walker..."

Looks up from her PADD as she stood her watch on the bridge of the Sentinel, she smiled happy for the interuption to the dullness of the shift.
=^= "Go ahead Lieutenant!"

Alice pondered that a moment before she answered.
=^= "Why not our place? Oh! and I am thinking we should ask Billie Jo and K'Rika to join us as well!"
=^= "What do you think?"

Jon smiles and nods as he responds.
=^= That sounds wonderful, please invite them. Have you heard from Shantal or Denise?

Alice shook her head out of reflex more than anything else.
=^= "No not as of yet, I think they are working on something down below...I am sure we will..."

Alice beamed and her voice held the warmth of her smile.
=^= "Will do baby...kiss kiss.." She chuckled "As soon as I hear from any of them I'll call ya back...at least we know Therese is coming!"
She hit her combadge to switch channels...
"Alley Cat to Roomie...ya there hon?"

Jon grins and blows a kiss towards no one in particular. He heads back into the galley and works with the chef to finish preparing the food. As they finish the work, he thanks the chef and walks over to a nearby console. After inputting a few commands the food laid out vanishes with the soft hum of a transporter beam. Jon thanks the chef again for his help and exits the mess hall, heading back to their quarters.

Billie Jo was busy throwing together a dish to take to the Thanksgiving dinner the Jon and Alice were holding. She was sure it would be rude to show up empty handed, but cooking wasn't exactly her thing. A good compromise seemed to be a nice Ambrosia. It wasn't like it required any real skills to prepare. She had the ingredients laid out and was now systematically adding them to the bowl. As she stirred in the yogurt she looked up and spotted K'Rika headed straight for her bowl of mini marshmallows. As the horned one reached for the delicious treats Billie Jo gently swatted her hand away. K'Rika pouted playfully as she quickly ate the couple of marshmallows she had managed to nab in her attack run.
Billie quickly moved the bowl out her reach, “Don't eat the marshmallows, I need them for my salad.”
K'Rika grinned, “Shouldn't you leave the food preparation to someone more qualified?” she asked.
Billie Jo's eyes narrowed, “Hush you. Go get dressed we are going to head over there soon.”
Billie Jo forced a smile as she watched girl bound of to her room to get ready for the dinner. She knew she needed to focus on what she had. And she was indeed thankful for all of it. But, it was exactly because of what she had that she worried so much about losing it. She recalled her experience in the lift on Starbase 220. She couldn't know if it was and actual sighting of Mister Diamond or just a hallucination brought on by stress. Either way the result was the same. She picked up her cup of coffee, as she did she watched her hand shaking.
She quickly reached over to the top left drawer in the small kitchen unit. She pulled out the bottle of whiskey and without bothering to measure it she poured a significant portion into her coffee. She quickly put the bottle away and continued with her business. She hoped that would help her steady her nerves, at least for the time being. At least until she found a more permanent solution. She then dumped the marshmallows into the salad and stirred.
A short while later...
Billie Jo and K'Rika headed down the corridor toward Jon and Alice's place. Billie Jo held a bowl of Ambrosia in her arms as an offering. She felt a certain amount of pride in having managed to prepare something that was actually edible. The two women approached the door and K'Rika reached out and rang the chime.

Jon has been hard at working laying out the prepared food that was transported over on two tables set in their common room. He frowns as he hears the chime as Alice hadn't even arrived yet and he didn't feel he was quite ready. Regardless, it would be rude on his part to turn anyone away and he could probably pass it off as last minute preparations. He turns to yell towards the door.
"Enter!"

"Enter!"
At the sound of Jon's voice on the other side of the door Billie Jo and K'Rika enter. Billie Jo is holding a covered bowl. She smiles at Jon, "I brought some Ambrosia." she states happily. "I made it myself." she adds. She then looks around the room. "So are we early? We would love to help you set up."

Jon gives her a smile as she enters. He is dressed in a nice dress shirt and pants. A space on one of the tables is quickly cleared for the bowl.
"You can put it right here...yeah, only a bit early. I have most of it set up...but we could set up another table in the room for people to sit and eat."

Billie Jo sets the salad down on the table. She then moves over to help set up the table for people to eat at. "I just wanted you to know how much I appreciate the invite to dinner. As a kid holiday dinners at my house were always a huge affair. Since I joined Starfleet I have not really had that." she said wistfully.

Jon gives Billie a warm smile as they set up third table in the room.
"I know what you mean...that was a staple at our house...Josh and I would compete to see who could eat more."
He laughs, the joy in his face evident now as he thinks of his brother.
"You know Billie...you're practically family to Alice and I, so it's fitting you're here. Same with Shantal and Denise."
