Chapter 4: Illnesses and Healing Touches.

A/N: I am so sorry that it has taken so long for me to update. I have been busy.

I hope that this makes up for it. Also, I just found the note book that this story was in. I hope that you like it!

ooooooooooooooooooooooo

Dr. Crusher was so happy about what she had discovered that she could have danced around her office. She had finally found out what was wrong with Lisa! She settled, though, for looking quite pleased with herself.

Her face turned poker when Commander Riker and Deanna walked into her office, both of them looking grim.

"Doctor," Riker said, looking like someone had kicked the wind out of him. Deanna just looked concerned.

"I have it" Beverly said, leaning in over her desk.

Riker's face became confused. "Have what? More bad news?"

Crusher shook her head, "No, I know what has made Lisa sick".

Riker's confusion grew, "I don't follow".

Crusher motioned for him and Deanna to sit down.

"Lisa must have eaten some of the organic food that Luke and Catherine brought back with them when they went back to Luke's home world about three months ago".

Riker looked at Crusher, "I thought that you and Deanna had ruled out food poisoning?" he asked, his voice growing slightly louder.

"We did," Crusher said simply, "but when she didn't eat any of the food that I had brought her earlier".

Riker cut her off, "What do you mean 'When she did eat'?" he asked, his face growing concerned.

"I tried to give her some of the food that Luke brought by for her, she wouldn't touch it".

Deanna piped up, "What kind of food was it?" she asked, putting a hand on Will so that he wouldn't get up.

"Apples," Crusher said.

Deanna nodded thoughtfully.

"But she likes to eat fruit, and Luke and Catherine's kids eat fruit all of the time, and they're ok", Riker said, placing his free hand over Deanna's.

"Yes, but they are used to eating it, Lisa is not", Deanna said simply, keeping her voice even.

When Riker gave her a look, she went on,

"Luke grew up as a farmer, and both he and Catherine made a consciousness decision to give their children nothing but organic food".

"….And Lisa has been raised to have nothing but the food that comes out of the replicators, so it was quite a shock to her system to have all of that organic food at one time," Crusher added.

"Well", Crusher said, pushing to her feet, "Let's see if we can't get this girl better".

Both Deanna and Riker nodded. "Quite right."

And with that, they devised a plan of action.

A/N: Sorry for the shortness of this chapter! Don't worry! I have more stuff written, but I will probably add that to the next chapter. I hope that you like this one. Any suggestions would be very helpful.
