OOC: Josh and Anna's quarters.


The computer chirped. "The time is 0630." Josh groaned as he heard it. nudging his bed partner with his elbow, he said. "Wake up sleepyhead, we have some bonding to do or should I say, your about to get that pretty little backside of yours spanked." He teased playfully.

Anna gave him a good swat knowing he'd toss her out of the bed. There was nothing like a good fight in the morning with Josh.

"Owwwwww! Anna!" Josh exclaimed as he rolled back to grab her not to toss her out of the bed at least not yet, no he began to tickle her. Anna's giggles filled their quarters as she tried to move away but he held her down and tickled her sides.

"Oh my god. Stop!!! Alright, alright." She noted as she chuckled. "C'mon you, It's time for our morning exercising."

Josh stopped but still held Anna down as he kissed her gently before getting up. "You're right, time for some good old fashion exercising. I hope you are ready sweetheart."

She grabbed Josh with her legs and flipped him over hard. "Careful, my little lolypop... You don't want to lose too much from today's exercising, and I hope you're still tough enough to keep up with me."

Josh looked up at Anna, a smile coming to his face as he suddenly reversed the hold and had Anna beneath him. "Now that is better. Don't worry about me losing anything Anna, It's you I'm worried about. You might just blow away when we're through." He teased his lover.

"I'm still here, Love.. even though we went back to the fleet full time. You're not getting rid of me that easily. And even if you tried.. I know a few people who can help me run you down." Anna noted.

Josh leaned down and kissed Anna again. "I hope your always here Anna. I don't say it often, but I do love you. You don't have to worry about running me down. I'm here for the long haul."

"So am I." She kissed him. "You're the only man I know who can put up with a tough girl like me. Most men get scared of me when I think Jiu-Jitsu practice is romantic."

"You are tough Anna." Josh admitted "but those men don't look past your tough exterior and see the inner you. I know you, and I love what I know and see. Including romantic Jiu-Jitsu practice." he said giving her a wink.

"You know who I am inside.. A woman... a warrior.. a fighter.. and sometimes I like a good dance." She noted. "You know me during my moments I'm strong.. And the moments I'm weak."

"Not weak Anna, vulnerable." Josh corrected gently. "I've seen the inner you and I love it. Just as you have seen the inner me. We draw strength from each other Anna and we'll support and fight for each other to hell and back.'' He answered steadfastly.

"Hell yeah. Hell, Klingons would find us so romantic. We got lots more to fight for. Our Federation, our family. One day we might even visit Sto'vo Kor and take over operational control there." She grinned.

Josh grinned and gave a fist pump. "Hell yes!" He agreed. "Now wouldn't that piss the Klingons of to no end. To have two Federation marines running Sto'vo Kor. But we have plenty of time before we worry about taking over it. We have a lot of living to do first."

"Time for some Calisthenics. Couples who love each other exercise with each other." Anna grinned.

"And we do love each other." Josh agreed whole heartily. "So, let's get to it."

*Gymnasium*

Anna put on her boxing gloves and walked up speaking. "Fight fair, no blows below the belt." She put a teeth protector in her mouth.

Josh nodded as he got into the ring. "Agreed, fight fair, no blows below the belt and no cheap shots." He added as he put in his mouth protection.
