Jason moves a little closer to her. "I smell something, and it isnt burning wood." He looks down. "Joan, your boot's on fire!"
A look of panic appears on her face from seeing her boot burning. Jason stands up, and goes and gets a blanket from the couch, bringing it over, and kneeling down at her side, pats it over her foot, extinguishing it. He puts the blanket down, then sits back down next to her. "There we go, no harm done. Are you ok?"
"Well it isn't every day that I am almost drowned and have caught on fire. I seem to be having a run of bad luck, or something. I don't think I have had some much adventure before." She says still a little shocked.

Jason and Joan each slid back from the fire. "Well, fortunately I don't think that you'll see any more of that kind of adventure in here. My living room is rather safe."
He looked over at the dog, and then patted the floor next to him. "Come here, Rusty." The dog was small, with short, red hair. Rusty came over to Jason, with a dog's version of a smile on his face. Jason picked him up, and placed him in his lap.
He turned to Joan. "Joan, this is my dog, Rusty. Although I know this isn't really gonna mean much to you, but he's a Pomeranian. We kept his hair short because we thought it made him look like a fox. Would you like to pet him?"
She looked hesitant at doing so. "Don't worry, he's friendly," Jason said, and he then took her hand and ran it along Rusty's fur. She seemed to enjoy it. But then, Jason lifted her hand back up, and held it in his own, and he just looked into her eyes.

Not sure exactly what to do, or what is going on, Joan looks into his eyes as well. She takes her other hand and pets Rusty some more.
"Are we allowed to have pets in Star Fleet?" She says forming an idea, and she smiles. She takes her eyes from his and slides a little closer to him putting her head on his chest. She isn't sure if he likes this, and wonders if she is moving too fast. She has never really been in a relationship before, and is very nervous. She tries to hide it though, and hopes she is doing a good job, as she doesn't want him to know.

"Ya know what? I honestly have no idea what the regulation is on pets," he said, then laughed. "Fortunately, holodeck pets arent a problem, so I keep Rusty around like this."
He looked down at her resting her head on him. It felt rather good for some reason. "Joan, I know we haven't known each other very long, and that we're just getting out of the Instructor-Cadet mindset, and that there's a small gap in our ages, but I find you quite attractive, and have found myself enjoying spending time with you. What do you think of the possibility of a relationship between us?" He asked, looking down at her.

"I will ask my mom on pets. I am sure she will know. As for a relationship, well I think we should take it slow. I hope you don't mind." She says looking up at him, hoping not to squash anything good. She had never been in a relationship before, and she felt a little nervous by the way he was talking. She did like spending time with him, but were they ready for a relationship?

"I agree with taking it slow, I was just wondering how you felt. Testing the waters, as it were. I hope you don't mind."
He thought about what she had just said. "And as for your mother, good idea." Then he stopped and realized. "It just occurred to me that I'm pursuing the Admiral's daughter. What an interesting situation to be in."
He looked around the room. "So, would you like to stay here for a while, or would you like to continue our tour of Earth?"

"I'm glad we share the same sentiments about going slow. Does it bother you that I'm the admiral's daughter now? I would love to see more of earth. Where are we going next?" Joan says smiling at him. She is excited again, as she wants to see her parent's homeworld.

Jason had a really good idea. He looked over at her. "How would you like to see the largest living thing on earth?"
She looked puzzled, and intrigued, which meant Jason had caught her attention. "Computer, Sequoia National Park."
The scenery changed to a forest. Around them were huge trees, both in diameter and height. The trees were 30 or 40 feet across and some were 400 feet high. And there they were, as far as the eye could see.
Joan was looking around. "Where's this animal? I don't see any."
Jason chuckled. "I didn't say it was an animal. However, you are standing on it." She jumped back in surprise, and looked back at where she was, but saw nothing. Jason continued, "Its the forest itself. Their roots intertwine and they are essentially one giant organism, and make up the largest living organism on earth."

"Wow, that is interesting. I didn't realize. What is that?" Joan says looking around and spotting an animal. It was as black as night, and was looking their way. She wondered at this animal, and it reminded her of her own pet back at the orphanage, well when she wasn't at an orphanage. She noticed it was just watching them as if it was waiting for something.
"That would be a panther. I hope it isn't hungry, and we can always make it disappear." Jason says so Joan won't be scared, but sees she is more intrigued than afraid. She starts to walk towards it, and then thinks about it. When she is almost there she stops herself, and the cat is still watching her.
"Computer tame panther." She says wanting to pet it. It comes up to her and starts to lick her hand. She smiles and rubs its ears playfully. She smiles and looks back at Jason, who looks amazed.
