Carnival Games

"Ok," said Kira. "Sense you little boys lost the last round I am going to let you choose the next game.

The men gathered around in a circle and talked quietly. "Carnival Games," said Odo.

"What?" asked Kassidy.

"I don't have the slightest idea what a carnival is!" said Leeta.

"Well, Lela, my first host, loved to play Carnival Games. There are many different types however."

"So…what 'type' are you choosing?" asked Kira cautiously.

"The 'Test Your Strength' one," Julian said.

"Fine."

"Fine."

"FINE!" Kira stuck her tongue out.

Odo you his lightning fast reflexes and grabbed on to her tongue.

"Mmm!"

"Say you're sorry."

"Mm-mm!"

"Say it."

"Imp pary."

"I thought so," he said as he let go of her tongue.

"Not…" she muttered under her breath.

"Ladies first," said Benjamin Sisco has he handed the mallet to Kassidy.

"Ok…so you just whack the thing?"

"That's all there is to it."

"Alright." She brought the mallet up and then swung it down…on Ben's foot.

"AHH!" he screamed.

"Oops…" she said, not really meaning it. "Sorry."

Ben was hopping around on his right foot while holing the left one in his hands. Kassidy looked at the levels from top to bottom.

"Here goes nothing," said Kassidy as she hit the target. The bell went up and stopped at High School Senior. The men started laughing, including Ben. "You think that's funny Ben?" She swung the mallet around and hit him again. He had stars flying around his head.

Julian took a dermal regenerator and healed him again. Kassidy handed the mallet to Ben and went back the Super Girls.

Sisco brought it up and swung with all his might. The bell went up…up…up…and stopped at knock 'em dead.

"In your face! In your face. Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah can't touch this!" He was singing and shaking his booty.

Kassidy just stuck her tongue out at him. Ben handed the mallet over to Rom.

"Are you sure Captain?" he asked in his own worried tone.

"Go ahead."

Rom brought the mallet up, closed his eyes and swung it down. The bell went up to…Wussy.

Most of the girls burst out in laughter. "It's ok Rom," Leeta said as she took the mallet from him and kissed him on the cheek.

With rage never seen before, Leeta swung the mallet down. It went up alright…all the way up to knock 'em out.

In the back round she could here Sisco saying "Can't touch this." A little higher and Leeta would have tied. She handed the mallet over to Keiko.

Keiko took a swing and landed playground bully. Miles, however, got knock 'em out.

"Prepare to see it and weep!" she said. She looked down and pictured Dukat's face on the target and swung.

DING! DING! DING! Kira's had made it all the way up to Schwarzenegger. She went over to Sisco. "WHAT!" she said, throwing her hands up. Sisco sang back into his seat while Kira handed the mallet to Odo.

Odo didn't even look and hit the target perfectly with one hand.

DING! DING! DING! Another Schwarzenegger. "You'rrrrrre Out!" said Odo, using his umpire call. He directed the words at Kira and she just stuck her tongue out and flipped her hair.

Odo handed the mallet to Julian who landed on playground bully. "Ha," Julia said as she took at mallet and landed perfectly on high school senior. "I'm still a little bit better."

Jadzia went up to hit. "That isn't fair," Rom said. "She used to be a man!"

"Yeah!" all the men, but Worf were saying. The idea of being married to someone who was a man was not appealing.

"Well," she said. "Right now I'm a woman." She pit on her hands and took a swing. World Record. "Beat the Worf."

Worf took the mallet and swung. It went up…up…up…broke through the bell…up…up…it never came back down.

"Yeah! Round two to the men! Can't touch this!" said Sisco.

Worf turned to Jadzia. "I like my Blood Wine very young, and very sweet."
