The Preserve, Saturday Afternoon

The leaves were starting to turn and fall, the temperature was pleasantly cool, and the sun was shining. Nice day for a walk wouldn't you agree?

Naomi looked around, "it's lovely weather," she commented.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"It certainly is. I've never really stopped to appreciate fall before."

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"I've been able to appreciate fall but it's only really been in the past few years,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"How long have you been off Voyager?"

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"Voyager got back to Earth in 2378 and it's 2381 back home so nearly three years,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"What was the biggest adjustment to not living on the ship?"

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"I think the biggest adjustment was not being with Voyager's crew, since once Voyager got to Earth they all went their separate ways, I guess it felt like my family was breaking up,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

Billy nodded sympathetically. "Fraid I'm all too used to that sort of thing. Do you manage to keep in touch with any of them?"

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi nodded, "I do manage to see some of them when I visit San Francisco,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"How do you like San Fran? I lived there for a bit."

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"I don't mind it too much now," Naomi said, "it took some time to get used to it in the beginning though,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Oh? How so?"

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"I guess it was mostly due to the fact that I didn't want to leave Voyager,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Yeah after living most of your life on there I can understand that. What happened to the ship itself?"

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"Voyager became a museum after it was decommissioned," Naomi replied.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"They still do that? Cool." Billy couldn't help smiling. "They do that with ships these days too. There's a submarine and an old sailing ship in Baltimore Harbor you can tour, and in Florida you can actually tour an Aircraft Carrier."

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"I've never been to either of those places," Naomi said, "but it still sounds pretty amazing,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Maybe we could go sometime. I think there's other places closer than Florida that do that."

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"That would be good," Naomi nodded, "I haven't been to too many places here,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I'll look into it." he nodded. "Are you into history at all?"

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi nodded, "I love studying history,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"There's a place not too far from here called Williamsburg, have you heard of it?"

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi nodded, "I have heard of it,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I've never been there, but it seems like a pretty cool place, it's like, an entire town set up to look like it did in colonial times."

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"That sounds pretty interesting,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"I've seen pictures, and it does seem pretty cool. Also if that get's boring there's a theme park nearby."

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"It sounds like a good place to have a look around,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Would you like to go? Start with Baltimore maybe?"

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"Sure," Naomi said, "that would be great,"

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Cool. Now we just need to figure out when."

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

"A weekend would probably be best," Naomi said.

[l1ttle-billy.livejournal.com]

"Probably. And not this month, maybe in November?"

[ktarian-wildman.livejournal.com]

Naomi nodded, "November sounds okay,"
