Golf and friendship!

It's the year 2388 and the Doctor and Commander Reginald Barclay enter the holodeck on the USS Clinton.

"So, Reg..." says the Doctor. "What shall it be? St. Andrews in the sunset? The Vulcan golf-arena on Muntaz Prime?"

"I was thinking something new. It's called 'Horton Golf-Island' and I understand it's pretty good." says Commander Barclay.

"Okey, we'll try that." says the Doctor.

"Computer, activate holodeck-simulation Barclay 2147-D." says Commander Barclay.

The holodeck transforms into a pro-level golf-arena on a tropical island.

"Nice touch, Reg!" says the Doctor.

"I can't take the credit, doc. Tom Paris told me about this holodeck-program. A friend of his wrote it." says Commander Barclay.

"Not much of a surprise there, Reg. Mr Paris always had a flare for holographic creations even though I must say that his style isn't always that sophisticated." says the Doctor.

"I know what you're talking about. I remember this skateboarding-program he created. One of the most worthless holodeck-programs I've ever seen." says Commander Barclay.

"Computer, standard class A golf-equipment." says the Doctor.

Two white golf-bags with master-level golf clubs appear.

"Nine holes, may the best man win! What do you say?" says Commander Barclay.

"I say that you should be ready to admit defeat my old friend because I'm going to win this one." says the Doctor.

"There's been over a year since I was able to beat you at golf, doc!" says Commander Barclay, fake angry.

"I'm a hologram, Reg! Superior physical ability! Let's play!" says the Doctor with confidence.

"Bring it on, doc!" says Commander Barclay.

Two hours later the Doctor and Commander Barclay exit the holodeck.

"Man, you won again! That's 8 straight wins for you!" says Commander Barclay.

"There's always next time, Reg..." says the Doctor.

"Of course..." says Commander Barclay.

"I have some files to go over down in sickbay." says the Doctor.

"Okey, I'll see you later." says Commander Barclay.

"Frazer to Barclay." says the voice of Captain Adam Frazer over the com-system.

"Barclay here, sir!" says Commander Barclay.

"We need to talk! Meet me in my ready-room now!" says Captain Frazer.

"About what, sir?" says Barclay confused.

"I think you know, commander!" says Captain Frazer. "Get your ass up here now, mr Barclay! Frazer out."

"On my way..." says Commander Barclay as he step into the turbolift. "Deck one, section 01-A!"

The End.
