Chapter Seven: Worries

After what seemed like forever, the adults stopped their endless talking, claiming their students need rest before the examinations tomorrow.

"Yes, I think we could all use a good night's sleep" Dr. Gandhi said standing shaking Beverly's hand.

"Yes, yes," said Lt. Erik agreed shaking Geordi's hand "good night all" he said as one of the young lieutenants lead him and his student out the door.

"Yes, good night" said Dr. Gandhi as another lieutenant lead them to there quarters

"Well they seemed all right" Geordi said as a young ensign lead them out of the lounge.

"Sure, the student's were" Wesley said as they walked down a long hall.

"How do you figurer?" asked his mom asked as the ensign opened the door of a room then left. "They didn't say anything."

"Exactly!" both Wesley and Abby exclaimed as they entered the room. Leaving the two adults to ponder this for a moment. Then they got, "Hey!" they yelled at their students who were laughing their heads off.

The Enterprise slowly moved forward into the main transport bay of Star Base 35. "Steady " Commander Riker told the young ensign at the helm. "Steady"

The ship inched little by little into the bay till it was all the way in. "Docking complete" Data informed Riker.

"Thank you Mr. Data" Commander Riker said to the android "Now Data, you have the bridge begin shut down, and inform the station to start the repairs." Riker said walking in to the captain's ready room.

The captain sat behind his desk reading something on the computer screen apparently in deep thought. He did not notice Riker's entrances. The commander cleared his throat and Picard looked up at him.

"Yes Number One?" Captain Picard asked his first officer.

"Captain we have docked at the Star Base."

"Yes, thank you number one." Picard said vaguely turning back toward the screen.

"Something bothering you captain?" Riker asked

"No, no" Picard said trying to wave it away, but Riker was giving him the look. (You know the one that says, "Spill, cause I know that something's up") After Riker didn't leave Picard glanced up at him and saw the look. He sighed and motion for him to sit down, and Riker sat. Picard gave the computer screen another glance, and then turned it to Riker. Who glanced at it.

"What is it, Captain?" Riker asked looking from the screen to Picard.

"It's possibly, the next method of examining star fleet officers." Picard said sighing again. "The one being tested by Mr. Crusher and Dr. Troi tomorrow."

"You sound worried." Riker noticed looking back to the outline of the test.

"Yes, I am but I don't know why" Picard said rising from his chair and began pacing around his desk. "I mean, it's not really that different then the old exams. There's a written part, and then there is a practical part. It's this damn last part."

"What it say in the report." Riker said pointing to the computer.

"That's why I'm worried," Picard said "It gives no details, just a name "Survival""

Riker and his Captain shared a worried glance. " It' could be nothing" Riker said but the more that he looked at the word the less confident he became.

"Will, it may be nothing, but do what you can to speed things up." Picard said still pacing.

"Yes, sir." Riker said standing up and walking out of the room. Picard sat back down in his chair staring at the word Survival; he had a bad feeling about this whole thing. He just hoped Beverly was all right.

The noon sun filtered in though the high windows and on to Abby's board face. The four students were taking the question and Answer part of the exams.

It was dreadfully dull sitting in a white room answering 300 multiple choice questions on a computer.

But the thing that made it unbearable was the fact that all the questions came from textbooks, which she has already memorized.

So now she was just trying to look busy, so not to discourage the others. She had finished ten minutes ago and now stared at the computer screen not really seeing it for ten minutes. Till movement on her left caught her eye.

She turned to look; Wesley was on her left, his eyebrows knitted together in concentration as he stared forward at the screen; every now and again he would tap the keypad then move on.

(He looks cute with his eyebrows like that.) She thought to her self. (Definitely not at him) Abby allowed herself the stare for a moment till she suddenly jerked her head back at the screen.

(NO) she thought furious at herself (this neither the time nor the place) she though given her head a small sake. (Where are these thoughts coming from, he's your best friend.) she thought resisting an urge to look at Wesley.

In an effort to clear her mind she looked back to the last question of her exam. She read it thought, then again. Next she glanced over the answers. It took all of two seconds to find the answer and pressed a button on her keypad.

All at once she gave sharp intake of breath as her eyes snapped shut. It was the familiar feelings of an oncoming premonition.

Images flashed before her closed eyes, first rapidly and in no perceptible order. Then everything slowed and it was like watching TV when some ones keeps flipping the channel back and forth.

At first the vision look to be of Abby performing some sort of surgery. (Nothing strange about that.) She thought, then the vision changed. Now Abby and Wesley were running though a jungle; phasers in both their hands. (Ok, that's… well different but plausibly) Again the vision changed, and it was still about her and Wesley. They were still in the Jungle but in a clearing. It was twilight and Abby was raping a piece of cloth around Wesley's ankle, which was bleeding. After she had finished she laded down next to him to look up at the stars that were slowly appearing.

Abby was about to label this vision as ordinary till Wesley suddenly kissed her. She opened her eyes the premonition was over. But her mind was still filled with the image of Wesley lips on hers.

Suddenly a hand was placed on her shoulder, Abby gave a small squeak and jumped 10 feet in the air.

"woo girl" Wesley said looking a little worried at her reaction. "You all right." He asked concerned.

"Yes" she responded quickly, "I'm fine," she said in the same manner.

"All right," Wesley said hesitantly "Well come on the exam's over" he said. She nodded and walked out the door and he followed. (She's acting funny.) He thought. But he chalked it up to nerves, after she came out of the practical exam, ( A Triple bypass, the old faction way before laser.) brimming with confidence.

He equally felt confidence about his exam. (Replacing a warp core filter by hand) But as he watched Abby clean up from her operation, he couldn't help but worry about her.

(Just one more test.) he thought then they would be finished and back on the Enterprise.

Well how was it please tell me!
