The planet of Yalara was the most beautiful and exotic planet the crew of the enterprise had ever been on. The shades of bright pink, neon blue, and pale shades of yellow. It all seemed straight out of a children's drawing.
Pieces of rock and crystal stuck out from underneath the ground. The crystal shining in the sun like a little pathway was created from the series of lights into the massive city. Pine like trees that glimmered with the golden sunlight.
Tall glass building structures shot up towards the sky and created large skyscrapers. Honey laden flowers scents wafted through the air and into the opened window rooms. Keeping the clean air of the outside to allow the amazing world outside to the crew.
While, Leonard and Olivia decided to have some time together. The two had decided to play off their alone time in their shared room they were staying in for the last night on Yalara. Though Leonard had his face twisted with worry lines stretched across his face.
"It's dead, Via," Leonard told her, his voice stony.
"Leo. It's a plant," Olivia chuckled as she moved her chess piece on the board. She had watched as her boyfriend had examine the small green plant. It had come from his daughter, Joanna back on earth.
The plant was given the pet name of: Lulu. It was an odd name for a small plant that only thrived on artificial sunlight. Though it didn't come as a surprise to her that the plant had started to decay from it missing its lusty scarlet color.
She'd never seen Leonard act anyway to such a simple object. But she knew there was probably a deeper reason to why he was acting this way.
Leonard held up the plant, shaking his head in a dictorly way, "I know that....it's just that I've had this for so long. I sort of expected it to at least survive Doomsday. It's basically been a McCoy heirloom now for-"
"Two and a half years?" Olivia asked, "Including the time Joanna had it?"
"Longer." Leonard responded, "Nearly three years. Sorry we came to play a quick game didn't we?"
"We did," Olivia nodded, gesturing to the set of Yahtzee set up in a small circle around the table. She'd already been setting up for the past few minutes. Having had this game ever since Callum bought it for their dorm to play when they needed a break.
She sat at the circular wooden table rimmed with a few delicately cut flowers around the edge. Her chair felt like a big cushion, a bit too comfortable to her liking. Feeling like she would just sink into the pale white cushions of the chair.
Neither was she used to all the fancy stuff. Nor did she quite enjoy Lyris's tales of her being plopped back to her planet, Vestrea and feeling like an outsider. She was perfectly fine from where she stood now as a person.
Leonard sat down in the chair across from her, "Alright......let's play."
"You sure?" Olivia asked, studying his expression.
