Crossover story between Star Trek and Little House On The Prairie:
The Need For Security: Part 1
Chapter 2:
All the children stayed alive and made it back to the Enterprise before the Schoolmaster died. He got the children to "safety" he rushed through the school bolting doors and shutting windows and inhaled too much smoke and it brought about his death.
All the children got all the medical treatment they needed physically they were ok. They were all given rooms but things were not well. All throughout the ship screams and crying could be hard from the children. It was affecting the crew.
The Captain, Spock, Dr. McCoy, Uhuara, Mr. Chekhov and Mr. Sulu were on the bridge when suddenly over the intercom system the children's streams were magnified, "Mother, Father where are you? Mother, Father where are you?" All the children were screaming out the same agony except the one child said, "Zalora, Zelarko, Cudglocketh." The little girl named, Zalara with her sister Mimi, whom Zalara gained when her family crashed on Mimi's plant (she was the only survivor so Mimi's mother and father adopted her).
Zalara approached the Captain and responded, "Zalorka, Zelarko, Cudglocketh." (weeping)
"Sir, can you help us? she's my sister from another planet." Asked Mimi.
"What is your sister saying? I don't understand." Inquired Captain Kirk.
Mimi answered, "Zalorka means, 'Ma', Zelarko means 'Pa', Cudglocketh means, "Where have you gone from me?" but none of us children know what 'Ma' or 'Pa' means. These words we never heard of before. Zalara was reading this book before it all happened. Maybe this will tell us what 'Ma' and 'PA' means."
"Mr. Spock, run this through the computer." Said the captain.
"Captain", said Spock, The title of this book is 'Little House In The Big Woods' by Laura Ingalls Wilder." When Zalara heard the name Laura she chocked a little sob upon which her sister Mimi replied, "It sounds so much like her name."
Just then a flash of bright light flashed on the bridge of the Enterprise. Meanwhile back in the 19th Century Charles, Caroline, Carrie, Laura and Mary Ingalls were leaving Sunday services at Church. Thinking about the sermon by Rev. Alden preached on Jesus' teachings about children. Caroline was repeating the verse in Luke 18:16 which says, "Suffer little children to come unto me..." Then all of a sudden simultaneously as well as forward in the 23rd Century a flash of bright light transported the Ingalls' family on board the USS Enterprise. An incident like this would happen again when Captain Jean-Lucpicard and his crew would encounter Mark Twain, also from the 19th century, but this was the first ever time bridge to occur.
''Charles," asks Caroline, "Where are we?''
The Captain replies, "Welcome aboard the USS Enterprise, I'm sure you have some questions."
"Captain", Said Mr. Spock, ''These are the very people the little girl was reading about, FASCINATING!"
