Now for the specific disclaimer pertaining only to this composition..

I do not own the anonymous fast food/ice cream place mentioned seven times in this fic.

On with the story!!


It was a quiet day in some anonymous fast food/ice cream place in some anonymous town in some anonymous state in some anonymous country on some anonymous continent on early twenty-first century Earth. Business was slow. Heck, it was a Saturday, and no one was likely to traverse the miles across the desert-like landscape just to pick up a chocolate-dipped ice cream cone from the anonymous fast food/ice cream place. The anonymous fast food/ice cream place was so far out in the middle of nowhere that one could step outside and see absolutely nothing but sandy dirt for miles on end. Well, there was the road, and if you looked behind you, you could see the anonymous fast food/ice cream place. But back to that quiet day. The anonymous teenager who happened to be working that day was bored. Anything, even the vast desert-like landscape, would be better than the monotonous inside of the anonymous fast food/ice cream place. Making up his mind, the anonymous teenager stepped outside. The sight that greeted him nearly made his heart stop. A giant starship had appeared in the vast desert-like landscape, and, stranger still, it had the word Voyager painted on it, along with a lot of other numbers and letters. The anonymous teenager just stared as several strangely clad people emerged from the giant starship. The woman who appeared to be their leader paused suddenly and looked around, her eyes resting on the sign that loudly proclaimed the name of the anonymous fast food/ice cream place. Her enraged voice carried clearly across the desert-like landscape. "Q!!! When I asked you to take us to a place outside of the DQ, I did NOT mean outside of a Dairy Queen!"

The End
