Lisa walked into the main living area when she heard the door chime.

"COME!" she called. She ran a hand over her pajamas and waited to see who it was.

She smiled brightly when she saw that it was Collin. He was carrying something under his arm.

"This is for the birthday girl," he said, handing the gift over to her.

"I think that she'll like this," she replied, taking the gift and placing it on the table.

"There was another reason that I came over tonight," Collin said a moment later. He placed his hands in his pockets.

Lisa turned and faced him, he looked nervous.

He looks cute when he's nervous, she thought.

"I was…uh…." He began, taking a breath, "I was wondering if you would like to go out…."

"With me," he added a moment later.

Lisa was speechless for a moment, her mouth gapping open.

"I….uh…" she stammered finally.

"You don't want to," Collin jumped, taking a hand and running it through his hair. He turned and headed for the door, but felt someone grab his arm. He turned to see who it was that had grabbed it.

"I would love to go out with you," Lisa replied. She kissed him on the lips.

"Friday night?" she asked when the kiss ended.

Collin nodded, "I'll see you Friday," he said as he turned and headed for the door.

Lisa smiled as she watched him go. She practically jumped for joy as she turned and headed for her room.

Lisa was still smiling the next morning.

"Good Morning Lis," Tom greeted brightly as she walked past him.

"Morning," she replied happily. She leaned over and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

"I take it that Collin dropped by last night," Tom said, picking up the box and looking at the label.

"Yeah, he came by to give that," Lisa replied, nodding her head at the box, "to give that to Theresa, and to ask me something."

"Like what?"

Lisa blushed a bright red, and Tom let out a chuckle.

"He asked you out, didn't he?"

Lisa blushed even harder.

"What's that?" Theresa asked, walking into the room. She was looking at the box that Tom was holding.

"It's for you," Lisa replied, "it's from Collin."

Theresa walked over and took the present from her older brother. She tore open the wrapping paper. She smiled when she was finished.

"It's pretty!" she said, she held up the contents of the box. It was a charm bracelet that she had taken notice of when they were window shopping in the ship's stores a few months back.

"Tell Collin that I said 'thank you'," she said. She was looking at Lisa.

Lisa walked over and kissed her on the forehead, "you can tell him on Friday," she said.

Tom's eyes went widened, but he didn't say anything.

"Good Morning," Riker greeted, walking out with Sammy. Both of them were still wearing pajamas.

"Morning," Sammy repeated. She headed for her chair at the table, climbing up it by herself. Theresa fallowed her, "Look Sammy," she said. She held up the bracelet. Sammy looked at it and said, "Pretty!"

"Collin was here last night," Tom said, walking over to the replicator. Lisa gave him a chastising glare.

Riker looked at her, "What was he doing here?"

Lisa cleared her throat, "he was bringing Theresa's present," she said.

"That's not all," Tom interjected. Lisa slapped him on the shoulder. "Shut up!" she said.

"What is your brother talking about?" Riker asked, crossing his arms.

Lisa sighed, "He asked me out".

Riker's mouth gapped open. He couldn't talk for a full moment.

Then he smiled at her.

Both Theresa and Sammy looked over at them, confused.
"What are you talking about?" Theresa asked. Tom turned and smiled at her, "Collin asked Lis out," he beamed.

"YAY!" Theresa exclaimed, while Sammy covered her ears; "loud," she said.

Riker walked over to her and smiled broadly, "it's ok honey," he soothed, "she's just excited."

Lisa ran a brush through her hair, which wasn't pulled back. She looked at her make up in the mirror. It was subtle, light, just enough to show off the color of her eyes.

She looked over at the dress that she picked out, it was rose colored.

When she was satisfied with how her hair and make up looked, she slipped the dress over the slip and bra that she was wearing.

"You look beautiful," a voice said from behind her. She smiled and turned to look at her father.

"I'm a ball of nerves," she admitted. She ran a hand over to her dress, "what do you think?" she asked.

Riker looked at her, his eyes beginning to tear up.

"Like my little girl is all grown up."
