Before you go...
Katrina Swete
McKenzie's
--------------------------
Katrina tapped on Zack's shoulder as he lay on his knees, weeping. He
jumped and turned to her with tears in his eyes. He sniffled. "Can I
help you?"
Katrina licked her lips. "You okay? What's wrong?"
Zack pointed to the smoking McDonald's. he said nothing.
Nodding, Katrina said, "Don't worry, I'll be cleaning it up in no
time."
Zack wiped his eyes and stood. "Can I help you?" he repeated.
"Yes, I need help finding a good gift," she answered.

Sometime later
Captain Niples' Quarters
-----------------------------------
"Bing bong," Holly said as the head appeared on the wall.
Seymour turned away from his packing and looked at Holly. "Yes?"
"Miss Katrina Swete requests you come to her quarters immediately,"
the computer announced. "She said if you aren't there in 15 minutes,
you'll never get to sleep with her."
Seymour blinked rapidly. "I better go."
------------------------------------
Outside Katrina's Quarters
------------------------------------
Seymour pressed the buzzer. The doors slid open immediately, and
Katrina jumped into his arms.
"Hey cutie," she greeted, giving him a quick kiss. She then put a
hand over his eyes and literally dragged him in before he could do
anything. "I have a surprise for you."
"Ooo, what kind of surprise?" he asked.
Katrina positioned him and removed her hand. "Ta-da!"
A big blue box with a ribbon and card sat on her table.
"For me?" he squeaked in surprise.
She nodded and led him to the chair. "C'mon, open it."
"What's this for?" he inquired, grabbing the card.
"A going away present."
The Captain opened the envelope to reveal a card saying, "For the
Solar System's Best Captain" on the front. Inside was hand-
written. "Have fun on your little trip, Seymour. Don't stop thinking
about me for a second, unless it's real important.
~Katrina~"
"Oh, that's so sweet," Seymour gushed. Katrina kissed the top of his
head.
"Now, the present."
Seymour ripped off the blue wrapping paper and exposed the box. He
opened the box and looked inside. A brown suit made of the finest
material in McKenzie's sat neatly folded inside.
"I bought it so you'd be the best looking guy in your meetings or
whatever," Katrina announced.
Seymour pulled out the jacket and looked it over. "It's great," he
said. "Very nice. And expensive looking. How much was this?"
"Don't worry about the price," Katrina assisted. "I'd spend all my
money for you." She kissed his cheek.
