After training ended, Ashley looked at her watch to see that it was around 7pm, dinnertime. Luckily for every trainee, their rooms were filled with food supplies. Thing is, if they wanted a trainee in their rooms, they couldn't. All the rooms had cameras, so there was no privacy. The only place that they can have privacy is in the bathrooms. (Me: of course -.-)
Ashley headed to her room and saw Michael waiting outside her room. She had completely forgot that he was right next door to her.
"Michael? What you doing?" Ashley asked.
Michael turned to her and smiled.
"I never got a chance to say this, but your aim is getting better, Ash." Michael said.
Ashley blushed slightly. He hasn't called her 'Ash' since they were in the academy. Michael saw her blush and chuckled.
"No need to blush, Ash."
"I-I can't help it, Mike. You haven't c-called me 'Ash' since the academy."
They chatted for a few minutes, until the bell rang. They quickly got into their rooms. Ashley leaned against the door and replayed her's and Michael's conversation in her head. She went into the kitchen and started making some rice and salad. She wasn't that hungry, but she hadn't had anything for lunch. Not only did she make rice and salad, she made her favorite ice cream. It had about an hour left until it was perfect. She remembered the note and decided to wait before she went to bed. After the rice finished, she started eating. After dinner, she got a small bowl and got some ice cream for dessert. After dessert, she got ready for bed. She took the note out of her pocket and read it.
"Dear Ashley,
You have been given this note in secret because I'm assigning you to a mission. Plus, you've proven yourself to be given the title of 'Captain'.
This mission is for you and Captain EO. He'll help you out. He'll be in a different ship, though, but he'll back you up.
Anyway, it's to the planet Moonstar. We have a homing beacon for you to find.
Welcome aboard, Captain Aikaterina and good luck on the mission. You leave tomorrow night. Don't tell anyone.
Sincerely,
Commander Bog
P.S. I'll give you the details when you leave."
Ashley was rather excited to receive her first mission...but she was curious on who this 'Captain EO' was. Oh well, she'll find out tomorrow. She put the note under her pillow and laid down. She let a song run in her head and soon, she fell asleep...after setting the alarm to 6am.
