Coming to Dinner
By
Dennis Luchesi
After I was released from the brig after spending my
thirty days for disobeying Commander
Hawkins, I was invited to dinner. Everyone missed me.
As I entered the Mess Hall I saw the VVF
sitting at nearby tables.
"Look who showed up", said Rocky.
"Finally out", said Ginger.
"Here he is", said Chip.
I sat down and we talked.
"How was it", Jeff asked.
"Oh it was something I don't want to do again", I said.
"Then you'll obey Commander's Hawkins
next time", said Cliff.
"Well", I said.
"I think", Lisa injected, "That Dennis did the right thing".
"Thanks", I said.
"Me too", said Ginger and Jeff.
"Well trying that to Commander Hawkins", I put in.
"Tell me what", said Commander Hawkins who was behind me, "I think you did
do the right thing".
I turn around and said, "You do?".
"Yes, but you did disobey me, so I still had to throw you in the brig for
thirty days", he laughs, "And you made it".
"How was it?", asked Cric, "What did you
do to pass the time?".
"Thought of stuff, and also recorded the events that lead me to the brig".
"And you did file it", said Jeff.
"Yes".
As we ate dinner we talked and I caught
up on things that happened while I was in the brig. I'm glad to be out of
there, and I'll never forget what I did, it was worth it. Plus in the future
I can depend on the help of Voltron
