"Tell me a story."
"What kind of story?"
"Something exciting."
"Alright. Once upon a time..."
"Not that kind of story!"
"Why not?"
"That's a human fairy tale. Those are boring!"
"You think fairy tales are boring?"
"Human fairy tales are boring."
"They're not. And you are human."
"I'm not!"
"Are too! More than I am, anyway."
"I wish I wasn't human."
"Don't let your dad hear that."
"But being different is more fun! Like you. I wish I could look like you."
"No, you don't."
"I do. Really. You look way more exciting than me."
"Well, it's not as fun as it looks. Ask my mom how many shirts I've torn because I was in a hurry to get dressed."
"Really?"
"She got a fit. Wasn't fun at all."
"I guess. When are Mommy and Daddy coming back?"
"Mom said they'll be kind of late. They're helping Captain Janeway plan the big party next week."
"I know. It's my birthday. I'm gonna be five."
"Yeah, but it's not your birthday party. It's Voyager's big reunion party."
"But Aunt Kathryn promised me a present."
"And I'm sure she'll remember. Captain Janeway always gives me birthday presents, too."
"Why do you call her Captain Janeway? She said I could call her Aunt Kathryn."
"I know, but I can't do that. I used to be her assistant, and I will be again when I'm done with school. She said she would always have a job for me, and assistants can't call their boss 'aunt'."
"Hm. I'm gonna be daddy's co-pilot but I can still call him 'daddy'. He said he's gonna teach me how to fly a shuttle next month."
"That's cool."
"Yeah."
"You need to sleep now. It's late, and if your parents come back and find you still awake, they'll blame me."
"But you said you would tell me a story!"
"Alright, but only a short one now. Once upon a time..."
