Mission: To Boldly Go...
Location: Sickbay
Timeline: MD-17

Trudy was the duty Corpsman for the day when Elly walked in to Sickbay. She looked up from her work setting up examination trays for the three biobeds in the primary examination/treatment area and smiled at her. She noticed Elly's blissful expression and smiled even wider. "Someone's in a good mood. I am guessing that the rumors of you and our Third Officer dancing the night away at the Halloween party and leaving together have something to do with your good spirits."

Elly decided to hit the Sickbay on her way to work that day. She needed to make sure that her, uh...relations with Drew wouldn't result in an STD, or worse, a pregnancy. Not that she didn't want children. She DID. Just not TODAY. She blushed at Trudy's words.

"Uh...I guess you could say that. Anyway. I am here for my birth control and I guess I should do an overall check up. If uh...we had sex yesterday, is it...too late?" She asked Trudy. "I mean...in case there's a baby or something?" She buried her face in her hands. "I just...I am not ready. For ANY of this..." oh no. Life was easier when she was just some nerd in the labs.

Trudy's jaw about hit the floor. She had known Elly her whole life and adored the woman for always being her favorite baby sitter growing up. "I had heard you guys were dancing at the Halloween party and that he had walked you back to quarters." Trudy had thought the man to be one of the hottest guys aboard ship. She frowned. "If he took advantage of you when you were drunk. I'll...."

Elly shook her head. "No, it was the next day!" She said. "Geez. He's a gentleman," she said. She dropped her voice, even though they were alone. "I think...I might like him, Trudy. Like...A LOT," she said. "Andy said that I shouldn't overthink it. Just..go with it. SO I am," she said. "It doesn't FEEL right, though. I mean...I still have my parents' in my head, you know? You know how they are. So square. Anyway. We spent the whole weekend together. OH. And uh...there was the Horga'hn." She smiled.

Trudy sighed with relief. She was still a bit confused as she pulled a medical tricorder of of one of the trays. "Chandler, he's the officer whose daughter is aboard." She ran the tricorder over Elly and looked at the display. She gave Elly a dubious look. "I thought you said he was a perfect gentleman and what the heck is a Horga'hn?"

"It's a Risian relic that represents fertility," she said. "I think his daughter put it there; she's really invested in myself and her father dating," Elly said. "His daughter is indeed aboard. And his sister, too. She's the FNN reporter," Elly said. "Though I think she really just tags along to keep her brother out of trouble and help out with Ashley," she said. "What's it say?" She asked, looking at the monitor. "He WAS a perfect gentleman. I am not sure if you're aware of this, but I CAN initiate things, you know," Elly said. That's how it went, right?! She was pretty sure...

Trudy gave Elly a rueful smile as she shook her head. She remembered Drew from his visit to Sickbay a couple of weeks ago. "Guess I can't blame him." She grinned with a curious expression. "So is it true what they say about men with big hands? I mean, he does have big, strong looking hands and all."

Elly nearly choked from her own saliva. "I mean, yeah, compared to the last three...even bigger than Hark's!" Hark had been her most recent boyfriend-a Ferengi, but she wasn't really that much into him and wasn't too upset when they'd broken up for her to take this assignment. "Sorry he only has a sister," she said. "But you can have Andy if you want," she offered. "He's really into this girl, but who knows how long it'll last?" Andy was FAMOUS for loving girls until they fell for him and then dropping the cold. "And of course, all the other brothers," she said.

Trudy shook her head and smirked. Elly knew Andy had been Trudy's first crush at Copernicus Base on the moon colony. "Naw, that's okay. Andy is a hottie, to be sure, but he's also a heartbreaker even more." She paused to double check the tricorder reading. "Well, you're not pregnant Although you might want Mister Chandler to come in for his monthly inoculation."

Elly let out a sigh. Of COURSE she wasn't, duh. That would be both too cliche, and very unlikely. She was a scientist, she knew that. "Oh, good," she said. "I'll tell him," she said. "Can you do my yearly exam now, too?" She asked. "And uh...my inoculation," she said. Though, would BOTH of them need it?! She thought so; she didn't trust the male birth control too much-too many of her friends had ended up knocked up or forced to marry someone because they over-trusted either the shot OR their boyfriend/partner/whatever to go. She knew she could trust Drew to go, but she didn't know if she could trust the shot itself.

Trudy went to the supply cabinet and returned with an ampule of ovulation inhibitor. "The shot is not a problem, but you're going to have to come back tomorrow morning for the annual examination. Doctor Baker was ordered to take a down day after going nonstop for almost two weeks now. You want me to put you on the schedule?"

Elly nodded. "OK," she said. "Or you can just come by later. I think Drew has late duty so I'll be on my own for dinner, and it's not Tuesday," she said. Trudy knew that Tuesdays were the day she called Andy. "But I should get the exam, I guess, so both." She said.

Trudy made a note in the medical log, scheduling Elly for a medical examination for the next morning at 10 hundred hours (10am). She went to the replicator and came back with two mugs of hot cocoa and handed one to Elly. "So what's Chandler like? You said he is a gentleman, but what's he REALLY like?" She took a sip of her drink as she looked at her friend.

"Really nice," she said. She sipped the cocoa. "We just talked, all day," she said. "And kissed a lot," she said. "In bed, he is...wow," she said, making a cartoon like face. "Really...good," she said. "Did you know that you can have an orgasm just from penetration if they do it right?! And Trudy...FOREPLAY. He knows what it is!" She said. She was being careful to not be overly detailed or loud in the public Medical bay, but later, she'd tell Trudy ALL the juiciest things.

Trudy noticed Elly look about the sickbay before she spoke and nodded. "We can talk details tonight after watch. I'll bring the wine and my jammies, you replicate the pizza and have pillows and comforter on the end table next to the couch." She gestured to the exit. "You better get back to duty before we both end up spending the day gossiping."

"OH!" Elly said, glancing at the chronometer on the computer. "Shoot!! I am LATE," she said. "See ya later, Trude," she said, hopping to her feet. "See you tonight!!" She said, sailing out of the room and heading for the turbolift. Shooooottt. Elly hated to be late, even though she figured that no one would care THAT much since she was at medical. Still.

Trudy took a deep breath and sighed. She was happy for Elly and looked forward to speaking with her again that night. She made an appointment note on her PADD and uploaded it to the medical database and added an additional appointment for Lieutenant Commander Chandler too. She then returned to her duties of inventory and medical tray set up.
