"I don't remember doing any of that" Shane said

"I knew you weren't yourself... but the others have their doubts," she said and touched his hand hesitantly.

"Slacking is such an ugly term", Sarah smiled. "Hmm... actually, slacking sounds about right"; she grinned.

"I guess we could go full course", Thomas suggested

James closed his menu and smiled. "Yes."

"Good idea", Cassandra smiled and closed her menu as well.

Misato smiled. "Well I can't be one upped so I guess I'm doing the same."

"Great", Thomas smiled as the waiter came over to take their orders.

James smiled at the waiter. 'Full course meal man, for all of us."

"Sure thing, can I get you your drinks?"

"I'll have a lager." James said.

"Iced tea for me." Misato smiled.

"Coke for me, I'm driving", Thomas said.

"I'll have iced tea as well", Cassandra smiled.

James smiled and sat back after handing the waiter his menu.

Misato handed the waiter his.

Thomas and Cassandra handed theirs back as well.

"So how's the work in the labs coming along?" James asked.

"Coming along really well, we've been developing a serum."

"Oh yeah?" James asked.

"Yeah", Cassandra smiled.

"What kind of serum"; Thomas asked.

Misato smiled and looked at Cassandra. "Should we tell em?"

"Hmm... I dunno..."; Cassandra said teasingly.

"Oh c'mon, the suspense is killing me." James said.

"What's in the box?!" Misato joked.

Cassandra grinned at Misato's joke and smiled. "Alright"

"Aaaaand?"

James leaned in closer to hear.

"It's a regeneration serum", she whispered

James nodded. "Oh awesome." He smiled.

"It's unbelievable, James. Tell'em, Misato."
