Location: Various Locations - USS Roanoke
Timeline: 1830Hrs - November 10th, 2391

The four Tienn sisters were vising the Green Dragon on the USS Roanoke. Tienn Nerra was sitting at the bar while she waited for her siblings to arrive, she lifted her drink to her lips as she took a sip of the liquid within, before she let out a soft sigh and set down the glass back down on the coaster before her. "By the Prophets... I hate waiting." she growled softly, partly to herself and partly because she wished her three sisters who were apparently coming to their little meal.

Command Sergeant Major Jeffery Duval peered down at the small woman who looked annoyed, she placed the PADD she had been reading down on the desk as she shifted her attention from the PADD over to Duval. "Tell me something Sergeant Major?"

"Something." Duval rumbled. "Whats on your mind?" he inquired. "Y'know I can hear you thinking from the other side of the lounge... and you look more miserable then anything else."

Tienn Nerra arched an eyebrow as if the comment had caught her by surprise, which she had not seen coming. "What makes you say that Sergeant Major?" the small Bajoran inquired.

"Well.. I don't know you, but I know your sister... your twin I assume?" he paused. "Y'know the four of you look almost identical... I've heard a couple of people comment about it... some also seem to think the four of you are clones and.-" he was interrupted as Nerra began softly chuckling but before long it had deepened from a soft chuckle to a full hurricane of laughter as she fought to regain control of herself.

Duval kept his mouth shut as he regarded the small Bajoran woman who thought something of what he had just said was outright hysterical. Just then the door opened and in walked a second Bajoran woman, her dusky brown eyes took in the scene at a glance as a soft smile played at her lips. "Hey Sergeant Major." Tienn Iteela came over.

Iteela gazed upon her twin as she regarded the massive being before her. "Whats so funny?" she tried not to laugh herself.

"Apparently it was the comment I mentioned that some among us thought you and your siblings were clones."

"Clones.." Iteela shifted her attention from Duval to her twin and back to Duval a second time as confusion won the short but violent war for her emotions. "Wait... I don't get it."

"I guess you had to be there... aww well.. what can I get for you?"

"Just a glass of water. I'm waiting for Kerris and Ezas...." she then regarded her twin with a mischievous look in her eye. "Well.. I am waiting in any case.... Sounds like she's having a ball with whatever it was you said to her." as she sighed at her twin who was still laughing.

Tienn Iteela watched with a bemused expression as Nerra calmed down slowly. "You... you had.... to be... there.." Nerra inhaled as she paused. "Okay. I'm alright now."

Iteela did not believe her twin, the look on her face said as much. "I don't believe you."

"You have no faith." Nerra responded.

"No... and neither do you." Iteela responded, while she said it, the doors opened and in came Tienn Kerris came in, she was minus her husband and children as she regarded her two sisters. "Hey Ladies. Hows it going?"

"Its going..." Nerra responded with a smile. "Hows the kids doing these days?"

"Well lets see.." Kerris responded as she regarded her smaller sister. "Theris is down with a stomach bug, her dad is looking after her and she's trying not to pass it along to everyone else, Jaina and Suvek are both well, Leila is doing baseball practice and Traci is at dance class tonight." the taller Bajoran explained with a smile. "You are still single."

"Yes, nobody wants me." Nerra responded with a sigh. "Iteela ended up with-"

"My girlfriend and thats all that needs to be said... We're keeping thing quiet, I have no need to air my relationship in public." she explained as the door opened and in walked their forth sibling. Ezas who looked at the three gathered sisters who all looked almost identical.

"Ladies... what am so rudely interrupting."

"Relationships, the good, the bad and the children of such." Nerra responded.

Ezas raised an eyebrow as she moved into the room. "Ahh... always hazardous territory." she smiled. "Besides.. its not like your kids and my kids hate each other." she said to Kerris who nodded. "Besides our husbands get along with... is somewhat shocking."

Nerra and Iteela both shared a look as the four women began to drift towards the various tables before selecting one that was empty.

Since the lounge was almost empty. Sergeant Major Duval himself came out as he had a PADD in hand. "Ladies.." he handed each of them a menu each. "Can I get you a drink each to start?"

The four women nodded as Ezas tossed in. "Can I get a coke-cola?" she inquired please. "With ice of course."

"Willdo.." Duval took the orders quickly. "Right. I'll go get your drink and I'll give you a few minutes to decide what you want to eat."

"Thank you Sergeant Major." Iteela smiled.

"Wait.. thats the Command Sergeant Major for the battlegroup?" Ezas asked, sounding shocked.

"Oh yeah, he moonlights as the manager and owner of this place... I hear he's making a franchise out of it... I also hear that he's moving into holosuites and ticketed events."

"How... Ferengi of him.." Kerris responded with a soft smile. "I had no idea that humans still thought of money before all else."

"Oh I wouldn't say that within earshot of the Sergeant Major... If I were you." Iteela smiled as she issued her warning to her older sibling. "Trust me on that... he don't like it when people say that about him..."

"Oh... that bad?"

"Worse. He'll ban you from his establishments and then you'll will be stuck eating in your quarters rather then in this place... Besides.. nothing like an Irish pub to put life into perspective right?"

"I guess so." Kerris responded, clearly unsure.

"You've never had his stew. I recommend it." Iteela smiled. "Gyce recommended it to me." as her smile widened.

Nerra sighed softly, she was envious and she realized it all at once. "I'm the only one who's still single."

"Don't rush into it." Ezas responded with a smile.

Iteela chuckled softly. "Being single is not bad... My relationship is still a work in progress."

"So you found someone." Ezas responded. "Good." she added.

"I did... she makes me... happy... happier then I've been in a long time." Iteela admitted, a soft smile on her face.

"Thats great news." Kerris responded with a smile.

Nerra turned her head as the sergeant major came over with drinks. "Ladies..." he greeted the four siblings who honestly looked like clones to his eyes, the only way he could tell them apart was the fact that all four had different heights, as he placed the drinks before each of them. "Still need time?"

"Sorry Sergeant Major. yes a few minutes more."

"Okay willdo." and with that he withdrew as the four women began selecting their meals.

"I want the chicken pot pie with mashed potatoes." Ezas commented.

Iteela added. "I'll have that too.."

"I'll have Spicy Chipotle Chicken Linguine with extra chicken." Kerris said with a smile

"One Third Rack BBQ Side Ribs" Nerra smiled before she flagged down the Sergeant Major, the four ladies then placed their orders and so they settled in to wait.
