"Okay kids!" The exuberant grade school teacher exclaimed. "Today we're going to have a tour aboard the Starship Enterprise." She smiled widely at all her students who stood in front of her, their eyes wide with anticipation.

"Oh Lord," Trip mumbled.

"Why did we agree to this again?" Hoshi wondered.

"Because," Archer hissed, smiling at the pretty alien school teacher, "it's good for Enterprise."

Trip felt something tugging at his leg, he looked down and saw a small alien girl gripping his pant leg. Her skin was a blush pink and her hair was teal and hung in snarls around her shoulders, "why?" He wondered.

"Good for the commonwealth, we want people to trust us right? So it good publicity for aliens and humans alike."

Trip sighed and hefted the young girl into his arms. What he was not expecting was her two tails.

"I take it this was Admiral Forest's idea," Hoshi said smiling.

Archer grinned, "of course." The young alien school teacher came up beside the captain. She had the same fair pink skin, except her hair was a deep scarlet and she wore it up in a bun on top of her head.

"I hope this isn't a problem for you Captain," she smiled easily, showing her gleaming, pointy teeth.

"Of course not," Archer replied.

"The children can be a handful," the teacher explained.

"Its really no problem Ajla," Archer smiled.

"You don't say," Trip replied, as a gang of school children ran past, shrieking and giggling.

"Children!" Ajla shouted, "don't climb on the bulkheads! What did I tell you about pressing buttons Minly?"

Hoshi looked over just in time to see two small children scaling the wall in front of her. "Whoa!" She cried out as one skittered across the ceiling.

Ajla laughed uncomfortably, "children these days."
