"Thanks," his smile was warm as he looked upon the sea old memories returned of his family. "This program is a recreation of the summer I had with my family a long time ago. It's been one of my most cherished moments of my life and I thought it would be nice for you to share in it as well." He looked upon Hikari as he took in her magnificence and beauty on this warm and beautiful simulated day.

"Thank you." she said, grinning at how perfect it seemed, before putting an arm around his, "Shall we walk by the beach?" she said with a wink.

His smile still shined as Hikari placed her arms around his he agreed to the proposal and walked with her down towards the shoreline. They walked near the line of sea and land the roar of the waves upon the sandy floor, the wind blowing in a gentle scent. The beach house they emerged from was not the only one in sight. Others populated the shore as far as the eye could see but each one was a kilometer apart. Memories of his family emerged his brother fishing with their Grandfather came to mind. His father and mother sharing drinks with his Uncle and Aunt and his younger cousins running along the shore shouting and laughing. A warm memory in which he asked Makoto about hers.

"I grew up with my family, but we were never really close. Father had work and Mother took care of me. They were only too happy to send me to the Academy when the time came, and I hope one day I can go back and meet them again and say that I did them proud." she said, throwing her head back for a moment and letting her hair down, the gentle wind blowing through it before looking at him again.

The Ensign was lost in the flowing hair of Makoto. He smiled again as she looked upon him. "I am sure your parents will be proud of you. Your the Chief Intelligence Officer of an Experimental Starship. You have a lot going for you." A small wave passed over their feet causing both of them to look upon the endless sea. "Seems we both had very different experiences with our own families. My father is a farmer back on Earth and my mother never leaves his side. I was very close to them while growing up, they were reluctant at first to send me off to the Academy because they wanted me to be close to them all the time." He looked up towards the imaginary sky as if looking for Earth upon the blue sky. "There are times where all I want to do is be with them." He looked back upon Hikari his warm gentle smile never leaving his face. "But, I wanted to see the cosmos, see what is beyond our world. I too hope I can make my folks proud of what I accomplish."

Her heart fluttered a little at seeing the warm smile that he had, and she nodded. "I'm sure we will make our families proud. perhaps I can meet yours one day." she said, running her fingers through her hair for a moment before looking at him. "You can feel the hair if you want." she said lightly before adding, "and while I may have a lot going for me, there's more that could be going for me."

His smile brighten at the notion of introducing her to his family. He took up her invitation and slowly reached up placing his hand through her hair. It was soft and smooth, it felt like silk. She then added a lot more could be going for her. He stopped playing with her hair and looked at her eyes. "How?"

She paused for a moment, about to share some personal information that wasn't normally told. "You know how they say there's someone for everyone?" Well, I haven't been able to find anything lasting, even though I check out both sides of the aisle." she explained, but added, "Maybe I'll find what I'm looking for at some point soon."

"The search for the one huh?" He looked out towards the holo-simulated waves his mind deep in thought. "The universe is a big place and though we may look beyond the stars to find this soul mate," He looked towards the thousands upon thousand grain of sands beneath his toes. "Sometimes all you need to look," He looked up towards Makoto, looking into her youthful eyes, "is inside yourself."

She looked at him after he said that to her, and they stared at each other for a moment before she looked away for a moment and nodded, "You're probably right." she said, standing closer to him.

He said nothing after wards only the pattern of the ocean and the squalls of the birds could be heard. He looked away from Hikari as well and directed his glance to the horizon. He stood closer to the Lieutenant as the yellow sun began to descend changing the sky to a reddish tint. "It's quite a sight isn't?"

"Yeah it is...but not as riveting as you are." she said, turning to look at him now.

He looked over towards Hikari after he heard her speak. His face broke into a shy smile and his face a tint red. "I," he stuttered trying to find the right words as he stumbled upon his own. "I am not that interesting, I mean there are other things more fascinating then me." He began to look else where as he contuined. "The sea and all it's life. The stars up beyond the sky. Supernovas and countless wonders. And..." He looked back towards Makoto. "You."

"Me? Well, I could be modest, but let's face it, we all enjoy a little personal attention from time to time. Speaking of that," she said with an almost-pouting look, "You don't give yourself enough credit." Then, something came to her mind and she took a thinking pose, which only made her look cuter. After a moment, she spoke, "When I kissed you before, it almost felt like you wanted to return the favor. That true?" she asked.

He got caught in a confusing twist. He lost his philosophical persona and reverted to his innocent child state. he looked around nervously trying not to be to caught in the cuteness that is Hikari. "I.." a sheepish smile emerged on his face. "A little." His his eyes still not daring to look up towards Makoto.
