*Emma looks at her, holding her arms out to her sides openly.*
Emma: Tara, you watched the message. I told you; nothing happened.
Tara: You've already said this--
Emma: Yes, but you didn't listen! You just jumped to the conclusion that I was in sickbay to visit Luke because I was in love with him!
Believe it or not, Tara, but I am allowed to have friends. You know what a friend is, don't you? Someone who listens to you, trusts you, lets you have a second chance when you TRIBBLE up, watches your back--
Tara: Are you done?
*Emma scowls at her.*
Emma: I thought we could just talk this over, settle things calmly, but apparently...
*She looks at Tara M.*
She's been overdosing, hasn't she?
Tara: You leave her out of this.
Emma: She's capable of speaking for herself, T. *She looks at her.* Unless there's something you don't want her to say?
Emma: Yes you do! This isn't the first time you've gotten addicted to this stuff! Let me give you the injections; at the right dose. I can help you if you'll just talk to me!
Tara: I have a better idea. *She gets in Emma's face.* Get out. Now.
*Emma looks at her, taking a few steps back, clenching her fists but not putting up a guard.*
Emma: Tara--
Tara: I'm not going to ask again. Get. Out.
*Emma looks her in the eye, keeping herself loose to try and pacify Tara.*
Emma: Make me.
*Tara turns around, thinking before quickly hitting Emma with a viciously powerful roundhouse kick to the face, knocking Emma into the wall with an audible thud, Emma barely catching herself as she slides to the ground.*
*Emma slowly starts to pick herself up, touching a cut on her cheekbone before glaring at Tara.*
Emma *angry*: Okay, cuz, you wanna fight rough? I can fight rough!
*Emma viciously tackles Tara down, the two getting into a fierce wrestling match before Emma gets the upperhand, punching Tara in the face before rolling onto her back, catching a blow by Tara and pulling Tara onto her back to lock her in a body scissors and choke hold.*
Had enough, T?
*After a few moments, Tara is too tired to break out and taps on Emma's arm, Emma releasing her, watching her carefully as the two pant heavily.*

Emma: We good now?
*Tara looks at her for a few moments, before nodding.*
Tara: I'm sorry for--
Emma: Forget it. Friends give each other second chances, remember?
Want me to do your injections again?
