(OOC: This is meant to be the Enterprise making planet side on Risa, so feel free to post here, do your own post, whatever you decide!)

"Welcome to the Risa Space Dock. We hope you enjoy your stay."

More welcomed words Jim hadn't heard in a good, long while. Had it only been a year since the Enterprise limped to this very same space dock after taking damage from the Klingons? It seemed like a lifetime ago he had seen the planet on the forward view screen, and with only a glance around the bridge, it seemed most of his crew was thinking the same thing. He gave an easy smile, knowing that on the planet below was the home he shared with Bones, the chance for everyone to spend their holidays not worrying about space and enemies and crazy things happening, and some time to just be himself instead of Captain.

So much had changed in a year. Jim was pretty sure he would never take any of it back. Well, maybe some of it.

He would be one of the last to leave the ship, so he took no effort to get up immediately. "You're all dismissed once you've shut your stations down. Enjoy your holidays." He leaned back in his chair, giving a smile and a goodbye to each person who did the same. Even if he wasn't the biggest fan of them, he knew his crew loved this time of year. It was a chance to think of family, friends, life.

Jim planned on a lot of riding, eating, swimming, sunning, camping, and sex. It seemed like the perfect vacation to him. Also, the idea of everyone getting together at some point... didn't hold the fear he felt for it last year. Maybe... he could manage it. He also wanted to see if he could get an extra special guest to be brought to Risa for Bones, but it would be tricky managing it. He'd sure as hell try, though.

"Sounds about right." He touched their lips together, then started to stand to nudge Bones off his lap. "I need to get my bag, since you won't let me get any until we get down to Risa... and I need to walk something off." He laughed, no hard feelings, but damn he would jump Bones as soon as they got inside.

It would be interesting, seeing who got who first.

Bones headed over to the Science station where he'd tossed his own things. "You ready then?" he asked, picking up his bag and thinking about medical reports, diseases and diagnoses in his head, trying to alleviate the ache in his own pants.

Jim might have been going over command rules for the same effect. "I packed last night, just need my bag." He walked out and over to the turbo lift, glad they were alone up here because that might have been embarrassing to explain otherwise.

"Let's go get it then," he said, following Jim off the bridge.

One quick trip to the transporter bay, and they would be on shore leave.
