Chapter 2

Wes sat in his chair with his head low. He was in the far back corner of Ten-forward. He had a glass of some Klingon juice. Sometimes when he is depressed about something Guinen, the bartender, just picks something to drink for him. So he sat there thinking about the prior night. He knew he had freaked out when Jesse had kissed him in the holodeck. He was sick of not being able to act right around girls. "I'll never get it right" he said lowly. He took a swig of his drink then set it back on the table and put his head in his hands. "Why was I born to be a failure with girls?" he said. " I don't think you are" came a sweet voice. Jessica sat down at the table. "Jess is that you?" Wes said as he picked his head up. Tears were brimming in his eyes. "Wes are you alright?" Jess asked. "I guess" he said. Jessica stood up and sat down in a chair closer to Wesley. She picked his head up and wiped the tears out of his eyes. "You did just fine last night, maybe I am just moving to fast for you, is that it?" "I think everything is going fine with how fast your moving, but I fell like you are doing everything and I am just sitting on the side lines." Wes said with a lump in his throat. "Kiss me" Jess said. "What will that prove, that I can take orders from you." Wes said in disgust. "No it will show that you can do it by your self, that way you'll know your not a failure." Jess said with sincerity. "O-o-ok, you know you can always make me feel better." Wesley said. He leaned closer to her and gave her a kiss. Jessica put her arms around him and whispered in his ear "looks to me that you're doing just fine." "than." Wesley didn't get to finish 'cause Jesse kissed him again. I'm really getting to like this girlfriend thing thought Wes.

Later while on duty Wes strolls to the holodeck. The six holodecks that were infected with 1940's virus were all on the same deck. Lieutenant- Cmdr. Geordi LaForge was already hard at work on trying to open the door. "What's the problem with the door?" Wesley asked. "There seems to be a security lock on the all the infected doors. The interesting part is that the locks were initiated from inside the holodecks." "But what really is going to cook your goose is that I ran an analysis on the this holodeck and the other infected ones and no one has entered them in a week." Geordi finished with a small laugh. "Well what can I do to help" Wes asked. "You can try to open this door" LaForge replied. Wes walked to a control panel on the door. He pulled it off and tinkered with a few circuits and the door opened. "So, how long have you been working on this door Geordi?" "About an hour." replied Geordi. I hate it when he does that thought Geordi. When the two stepped in to the arch of the holodeck door a phaser blast shot between them. They leaped to the side and Geordi drew his phaser. Laforge tapped his badge and called for a security team. "Wes take cover I'm going in."
