[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]"Well, I'm old now, but if you ever find yourself stuck 40, 45 years in the past, then it's on," Judy remarked. "I was, among many other titles, the beer pong queen of the Bay Area."Behind those thick, grandmotherly glasses sat decades of stories, such as this one. "So I think we can safely say, the academy kids from the 30s had the liquor capacity of Judy now," Max concluded, splitting the difference and getting a jab in at his wife. "We played a match on our anniversary trip last month, and the 'beer pong queen of the Bay Area' didn't make it through.""Let's just say it's a good thing we played over the lawn, and not on that hardwood floor," Judy hinted at the outcome. "And now that you've heard this story, Isaiah, I don't think you have to call me 'Captain' anymore."

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Isaiah chuckled not only at the instance of his girlfriend that she was far from an Academy square as well, but also the revelation of Judy's former Bay Area title. Though, it was far from a challenge as Max pointed out, it was possible that neither of them were in their prime to commence with such a competition. And honestly, they all knew better. Though, the suggestion that Isaiah could stop referring to Judy as Captain seemed to have circled back once more. "To be perfectly honest, far too much respect to ignore that title," Isaiah said with a smile. "Unless of course you prefer your highness?"

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] There might not of been a competition but it did take Thea a minute to process the revelation that Judy was once known as the beer pong Queen. It appeared that her Captain was a little rebel in her younger days, although it also explained a lot about how she was now. Grinning slightly as she listened to the rest of the story and hearing Isaiah chuckle, before Judy told him that he no longer needed to call Captain anymore. Understanding why Isaiah said what he did, however at the mention of calling Judy, her Highness, Thea found it hard to keep a straight face. " And here's me thinking that I was your Queen" she quipped, teasing Isaiah in the process, knowing that neither of them would take that seriously.

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]Judy's chuckle at Isaiah's comment turned into loud laughter at Thea's, as her own brain cooked up a retort. "It's been a while since I've gotten a guy in trouble with his girlfriend," she joked. "Too long, perhaps.""Not counting our sons, that is," Max added humorously. "Consider yourselves adopted."Judy took a sip of whiskey, hoping it wouldn't come out her nose.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Well, Isaiah had walked right into that one. He smirked as he heard Thea's voice, suggesting that she thought that she was actually his queen. "Well, I walked right into that one, didn't I?" he said, particularly after Judy mentioned it'd been a while since she'd gotten someone in trouble with their girlfriend. They all seemed to be having a good time, but perhaps there was still a way out. "Well, she was the Queen of the Bay. Last I checked, there was only one Queen of my Heart."

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] After delivering her well timed quip, Thea was trying her hardest not to laugh. Although when she succeeded in making Judy laugh before the CO snapped back with one of her own. Thea gave in and chuckled, whilst attempting not to spill any of her beer. She did appreciate Max's comment about them now being adopted, a comment that made her smile amongst the humour, before Isaiah smirked. He was right and yet found his reply endearing as he got himself out of the proverbial hole that he had unintentionally made. " Good save, but I'll take being the Queen of your heart, now and always" she replied, leaning over to kiss his cheek.

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD - Commanding Officer's Quarters]"I don't know, Thea; I think he needs to get you a proper crown to show your queenliness, or a tiara at least," Judy remarked, lovingly stirring the proverbial pot. She helped herself to a popper, taking small, queenly bites, as Max left the room for a moment. "You know, put your money where your mouth is."Max returned, as if on cue, tiara in hand. "That's how you do it," he joked, as he placed it on Judy's head. She was tipsy enough not to feel ridiculous about it, and was having a good time.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Isaiah thought for a moment that he had escaped the proverbial hotseat. After the gentle kiss on the cheek, Isaiah quickly turned to give Thea a quick peck on the lips. Yet, it was the Captain's prompting that he prove himself further that began to tip him out of the frying pan and into the fire. It seemed he should prove his claims with an actual crown or tiara. "A tiara? Really?" he said with a smile. "Where on the station could I possibly find such a thing... and not get arrested?"

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] Whilst Thea had accepted Isaiah's save about her being the Queen of his heart and sealing it with a quick and proper kiss. It appeared as though Judy hadn't quite finished with her boyfriend yet or her for that matter as she continued the joke. Realising that Isaiah wasn't getting off that lightly, Thea didn't whether to laugh or commiserate, especially when Max returned with a tiara and placed it on Judy's head. This was just too much fun and grinned as Isaiah played along with it. " I'm sure Judy has contacts for that kind of thing or there might be a jewellers on the Promenade" Thea said with a wink, deciding to join in once more. Of course if Isaiah wanted to get her another piece of jewellery instead, she would be more than happy with that.

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]Judy shook her newly-bejeweled head as she chuckled. "Oh, I wouldn't know. When I want new jewelry, I tell my husband.""There's a specialty jeweler on Arkaria I've gotten her a few items from, but most of her collection has been with us for many years," Max added. "This tiara was actually a Williams family heirloom that my mother wanted her to have.""His father had actually replicated it, before either of us was even born, but at the end of the day, the value of an item isn't how it was created, but the memories and the meaning it carries."In this case, the tiara was a token for the day Max's mother accepted Judy as a worthy daughter-in-law, and for the kinship Judy felt with the Williams side of the family. It was also a smooth out for Isaiah from sinking his paycheck into jewelry.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Well, one things was for certain, and that was that Isaiah was not getting off the hook with this tiara. He considered the promenade as well as Max's suggestion about a jeweler on Arkaria. This certainly wasn't going to be an easy task, as pricing for such an item was never modest. "Well, looks like I'll be shopping for a tiara in the near future," Isaiah commented conceding the point, and still wondering how they had managed to get on the topic of tiaras while watching a basketball game.

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] Whilst Thea was joking about Isaiah getting her a tiara by joining in with Judy's continued playfulness on the subject. The XO did appreciate the story about her tiara's origins and how precious a family heirloom could be. After all she understood the memories that came with such an item as she herself had her father's St Christopher necklace and wristwatch. Plus she also had the necklace that Isaiah had bought for her birthday and even had it on now. So when her boyfriend conceded that he would be shopping for a tiara in the near future. Thea looked at him and smiled, knowing that he didn't have to do that to show his love. " Honestly Babe, you don't have too, knowing that you love me is enough for me. Besides I love the jewellery that you've already gotten me and I don't need a fancy tiara for you to prove that".

[Capt. Judith Eastman(-Williams), PhD & Max Williams - Commanding Officer's Quarters]"Oh, yes, the shinies aren't that important," Judy said, tacking onto Thea's sentiments. She enjoyed a good laugh, but not at the expense of Isaiah's Starfleet salary. "One of the things I felt insecure about when we were new to dating was that I had this fabulous woman, and I wasn't showering her with what I thought were enough jewels. Turns out, she liked that," Max added, passing down a bit of life wisdom. "Too many ornaments get in the way when you're filling in spreadsheets, and even a tiara probably gets in the way of surgery," Judy added. "Although I can't imagine they'd make what's going on on the court right now any worse. They look like they've got 5 pounds of metal on their hands already!"There, she'd brought them back to the basketball game.

[CO's Quarters, Front Ear Station ] Isaiah nodded as Thea said that it wasn't necessary for her to be showered with such extravagant gifts. It was something he felt he already knew, but it was reassuring to hear it. Even from the Williams' it seemed that what mattered was the true feelings as opposed to how it could be quantified through material things. "Understood," Isaiah said still nodding. The suggestion that the Knicks were playing as if they hands were weighed down by metal didn't appear to be far off the mark. "Maybe there's some off-season surgery that will alleviate that."

[CO's Quarters - Front Ear] There was further agreement from the Williams' as to why Isaiah didn't need to show his love through buying her extravagant and expensive jewellery. Which only made Thea smile, especially when Isaiah nodded and acknowledged his understanding. Of course she knew that she had succeeded in reassuring him, besides they had already made a commitment to one another and that was far more valuable than trinkets. With their attention diverted back to the game, Thea took another swig of beer as the others commented on the performance. " Yeah, although I wouldn't want be their Doctor" she replied with a wink, before pondering if she should have a third beer or not.
