Beach Boys and Dancing Queens
More Five Minute Voyager Sqigglets from Taya 17 Janeway
It was a boring day on the Starship Voyager as usual. The crew on the bridge were getting bored to the extent that they were willing to try something, and anything, unusual, to spice up their mundane, dreary and commercial-break filled lives. [shot of the back of Chakotay's head]Round round get around I get around
[Chakotay spins around and poses dramatically]
[Camera pans back to reveal the rest of the senior crew with thier backs to the camera]
It was only a harmless idea, and besides, what could be more fun?
Round round get around I get around
[The rest of the crew turn around and pose as well]
I get around.....
[Everyone breaks into wild dancing. Paris tangoes with Torres, Chakotay and Harry breakdance, Seven and the Doctor mambo, while Neelix and Tuvok attempt some Lindy Hop]
[CAPTAIN'S READY ROOM]
Captain Janeway, on the other hand, was having a perfectly normal day, curled up on the couch with a book and a cup of coffee. That was until the romm started shaking with ear-rattling music, of course. She snapped the padd shut and glanced upwards. "What the-??" she wondered. She decided to investigate. [BACK ON THE BRIDGE]
We're taking my car 'cos it's never been beeped....
Everyone was having a really great time.
[Janeway storms out onto the bridge]
She was shocked. She'd never seen anything remotely like this before. "Computer, halt music!"she commanded.
[Everyone on the bridge turns and gasps]
"What in the world do you think you're doing?" she demanded of them, hands on hips. Chakotay winced and tried to look innocent. "Dancing?" "Don't you know the Starfleet rules? No dancing on the bridge!" she glowered at them. "Aye, Captain," replied Chakotay, slightly abashed. Janeway stalked back into the ready room.
[The doors slide shut]
Well, she reflected, as the doors slid shut behind her, it did look kind of fun. Something within her was stirring, calling towards the music. She smiled. Well perhaps it wasn't such a bad idea...
[Janeway grins, and does a little boogie]
[BACK TO THE BRIDGE]
The crew stared at each other, looking slightly dejected. There went all their fun they thought. Then Seven said slowly, "She said no dancing on the bridge..." [Everyone breaks into wide grins]
[CUT TO THE MESS HALL]
A little of Monica in my life/A little bit of Erica by my side....
[Everyone, including Janeway, is grooving to the tune of Mambo No.5]
Life had never been so fun for the crew of the Starship Voyager.
