"What's a Mani-Pedi?"

"I am so, so sorry," ť the kneeling woman said again. " Here, let me get you an icepack from the replicator."
She stood up.
There was a moment of silence, then Trella spoke up. "Actually, I am looking for Commander Davidson."
The woman at the replicator smiled at her. " That's me."
"Lt. Pelandora reporting for duty, sir."
Daisy blinked. "I prefer 'Ma'am', if you don't mind."
Trella blinked, surprised. Then, she smiled. "As you wish, Ma'am."
"Where did you learn that move?" Catherine asked Daisy while pressing the replicated Ice pack to her shoulder.
"I studied your medical file during those few months we served together on the USS DISCOVERY." Daisy explained. "I anticipated one posture that would weaken your rotator cuff and adapted a Krav Maga move my ex-husband tought me to...."
"Excuse me, Commander. " Trella interrupted politely. "Krav Maga?"
"It's a martial art used on Earth in the Israeli region....." Daisy spoke, trailing off as she stared at Trella.
Then, she continued. "Wait, you said Lt. Pelandora?"
"That's right." the Vissian woman smiled weakly.
"You should hunt down Lt. Commander Kor. She was running Security until I promoted her to XO. She'd be a better person than me to help you get settled in. "
Catherine was irritable at this point. Stretching her shoulder, she groaned. "Did Mav know you could do things like that when he said you needed me to do defense drills with you?"
Daisy shot Catherine a sideways grin and a look of annoyance spread over the features of Catherine Sterling-Jade. Right that moment, as Daisy gently helped her to her feet, she wanted Mav's head on a platter. So - she politely suggested, "Maybe you should walk the new Lieutenant to see Lt.Commander Kor. I'll go find my husband to treat my shoulder and then go have a chat with Mav."
Daisy rolled her eyes slightly and chided Catherine. "Why don't you not? I'll get a med kit and repair your rotator cuff myself. I owe you that much. I didn't expect that move to work as well as it did."
"And, I can find Lt. Commander Kor myself, I'm sure." Trella offered politely.
"And I'll take you to the spa aftewards. I'll get you a massage, my treat. " Daisy grinned. "They have this great analgesic ointment for sore muscles at the "Color me happy" spa. I'll throw in a mani-pedi and then, if you still want to scratch Mav's eyes out ...."
In one moment, both Trella and Catherine looked at Daisy and asked the same question.
"What's a Mani-Pedi?"
Daisy threw back her head and laughed. "I see I'll have to show you both...."

"You know there could be a tactical benefit to modifying this ritual" Catherine noticed
thoughtfully. "
Daisy grinned. "A tactical benefit? In getting a Mani-pedi?"
"Well, the acrylic overlays do reinforce the nail beds. Now, with additional sharpening..."
"This is supposed to be relaxing and help you feel more feminine..." Daisy chuckled. Then, she turned to Trella. "Are you sure I can't convince you to try it?"
Skeptically, Trella replied. "You could always make it an order, Ma'am."
Eventually, Daniel came looking for his wife. By then, Daisy had treated Catherine's
shoulder and Trella had gone on to look for Eishnala.
The young marine walked in a scene that looked more than a little erotic to his young
eyes. Daisy and Catherine were in the massage room wearing these rather skimpy "Color me happy" halter tops and matching shorts. Catherine sat with her long hair draped over one shoulder and leaned backwars into Daisy's hands as older woman massaged the glittery ointment onto Catherine's skin.
"You didn't have to scare the masseuse away like that." Daisy chided her, laughing.
"I don't like strangers touching me, sorry." Catherine blushed. Then, she sighed and let this moan escape her lips.
"You were right."
Daisy grinned. "Say that again."
"You were right." Catherine chuckled. "What's in this ointment?"
"Analgesics and mild herbal sedatives." Daisy reminded her.
Daniel watched quietly, his mouth sort of hanging open. Daisy gently moved
Catherine's hair from one shoulder to the other and started the same massage
process over again. Catherine groaned softly and Daniel lost all track of where he
was going.
Both women were startled by a thud as Catherine's young husband walked right
into a wall and toppled over, his hand flying to his now bloody nose.
"Daniel?"
Daisy jumped to grab a fluffy white bathrobe as Catherine ran to her husband.
He stood up awkwardly and gave her a sheepish, slightly blood smile. "Please,
don't let me interrupt. The two of you just go right back to what you were
doing..."
Daisy started blushing and laughing as Catherine grabbed herself a bathrobe
and then began throttling her now bloody husband about the chest and
shoulders. Daniel was laughing and Daisy managed a chuckle of her own.
"You should probably get him to sickbay. I'll get you the recipe for that ointment later."
Catherine gave Daisy a polite nod. "Thank you, Commander, excuse me."
Then, she continued smacking Daniel around as she half-dragged him out of the spa.
Daisy laughed softly and adjusted her bathrobe a bit more. Then, she saw a man coming
out of a treatment room wearing a bathrobe and a bright green mask of goo over his face. She studied his features for a bit and then asked, surprised.
"Drake?"
Her half-El-Aurian friend just blinked and asked in a slightly muffled voice because he didn't want to crack his mask of goo.
"What? You've never tried their facials? "
Daisy's mouth dropped open and then she wagged a finger at him, giggling.
"Honestly, sometimes you are more 'gay' than Peter."
He scoffed. "Hey - try one."
She laughed. "No, I have a letter I need to write....but thank you."
She started to walk past him and he gently grabbed her arm. It was hard for him
to speak with his face all hardened from goo.
"How's Ben?"
Daisy's face darkened and she gave him a sad look. "Still avoiding me."
Drake tried to pull her into a hug and he got goo from his face into her hair.
She pushed him away, laughing. "You're disgusting. Get away."

I didn't think I'd get another chance to write today - but my husband is working late.
I didn't want to leave Jasmina's lovely post hanging out there unanswered. Especially after the nice surprise of Daisy actually getting the upper hand with Catherine. *Chuckles*
Naomi - I hope you like that I made that Mav's fault. *Sniggers* Though Daisy would never match Catherine in terms of strength and endurance - she is formidable because of her medical knowledge and training with Zuri, with Ben and on the Aeseroth Consortium slaver ship where she was incarcerated. So - Daisy got in a "Lucky shot".

Naomi - I thought the spa was sexier than more sparring. I hope you like it and this pays you back for your lovely post putting Ben and Daisy in the Turbo lift. LOL
Rahul - I hope it makes you smile, too. LOL
Jasmina - your post was brilliant! I loved it! I hope this amused you and that I handled Trella well. *Hugs*
