As Luisa sipped her vodka, she saw that the party hadn't really ever got going.  People where beginning to drift off, some to the bar, others outside.  One of the males she'd seen dancing earlier was now at the bar with an attractive woman.  He waved kind of oddly at her...Luisa merely curled the corner of her mouth up in a mock smile, acknowledging his presence but little else.<br/><br/>The young business manager-cum-mechanic scanned the room once again, looking for anyone that would make for suitable company for her last night on Mars, which had been her home for her entire 27 years.  Spotting a young and fit young guy who was unsuccessfully trying to hit on an equally young and attractive female, Luisa decided to make his night.<br/><br/>Walking boldly up to him she took his hand and pulled herself close, whispering in his ear that if he wanted to have some great sex then he should follow her.  She watched as he was momentarily torn between trying his luck with the other woman or what appeared to be a sure thing.  He decided that Luisa's offer was too good to turn down and quickly fell into step next to her...<br/><br/>...back at her small apartment, Luisa and her nameless lover lay back, chests heaving from their recent rapid exertions.  As they had walked back, she vaguely remembered him mumbling something about being a research assistance...she had hushed him with a finger on his mouth and simply said, "Honey if I wanted to get to know you I would have asked already...you and me are gonna be frozen for 20 years, we can do all the 'my name is BS' when we thaw out.  For now I just wanna have sex.  Good sex."<br/><br/>She smiled at the memory of the brief conversation...Mission accomplished.<br/><br/>And now she mentally scolded herself it was time for sleep.  Soon she would be snap-frozen along with thousands of other want-to-be-colonists and Luisa was damn sure this would one sleep that she enjoyed.
