Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek. Obviously.
PrologueData was in Ryker's quarters, skimming through his bookshelf. "So, what book do you want to borrow, Data?" Will asked his friend. "Borrowing" was just a formality, since the android could read three hundred pages in two seconds if he really wanted to.
"I am not certain, Commander," Data replied. "You have so many different genres to choose from."
"Well, since you're interested in humor…" Ryker pulled out a book from the shelf and handed it to his friend. "Try this one." The title read Two Hundred 20th Century Pranks.
Data cocked his head. "I believe that is a good choice. Thank you."
Later in his quarters, the android read the book in about two seconds, but then skimmed it further. Data decided that the senior crew probably wouldn't mind if he tried a few of the pranks out…
Author's Note: Decided to take a break from my dark fan-fiction to bring together something lighter and hopefully funny. I already have a few pranks planned, but please feel free to suggest ideas for pranks that Data should try via reviews. Thank you.
