The two indulged in a holodeck program that replicated the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk. They rode a rollercoaster and got to know one another a bit better over beer and corndogs. Later, they walked along the beach and enjoyed a nice bonfire, concluding the evening with their first kiss. | The two indulged in a holodeck program that replicated the Santa Cruz Beach Boardwalk.

The following morning, Lael wandered into the Ship's Chapel to find Dassa alone and in the middle of her daily prayer. They got into a discussion about the events of the last couple months, including what happened aboard the [[USS|Za]]. This then led to them discussing the unspoken tension between them and could-have-beens--how if things had been different, they might have ended up together. But Lael changed the subject, saying that it was in the past and that Dassa should have faith in Tobian and their relationship. She then confessed to running into Jon at the gym and their subsequent first date. Dassa was surprised, but happy for her. Near the end of the conversation, Dassa told Lael that she was taking some time off to visit Tobian on Betazed. | |||
Later, Lael and Chythar met at the phaser range for some shooting practice, where she nagged him for the upteenth time about his refusal to carry a phaser. To her surprise, she managed to convince him to carry a concealed one. | |||
Following shooting practice, Lael went on a second date with Jon, both enjoying a fencing program on the holodeck and sushi for dinner. | |||
They met for lunch the next day and they continued getting to know each other, talking about where they grew up and their respective early years. Lael found herself experiencing the beginnings of romantic feelings for Jon. After their meals, Lael returned to duty with Jon promising to make her dinner in his quarters sometime. | |||
She saw Dassa off the next day and again found herself in the Ship's Chapel, this time bumping into Chythar. She talked to Chythar about her recent epiphany and change in perspective. They also talked about Maddy, Lael's ward, and the huge impact Chythar had had on the young girl's life in such a short span of time. Wrapping up their conversation, Lael left him to his thoughts. | |||
