even more. And now the R-rated stuff starts in the holodeck.

8. Disco night!
Wesley had just finished his shift. It was Saturday so he decided to take some time of. Lynn had invited him to the holodeck for the evening for a party in late 20th century style. Wesley now reached his quarters. He lay his homework in the usual spot, and then began going through the replicator catalogue for some 20th century style clothes.
"Let's see." said Wesley to himself. "What did Lynn say which part of the 20th century they were from. Oh, yes, the late 1990s!" He tapped the new info into the database. Now his mother entered the room.
"What's the occasion?" she said when she saw what Wesley was doing.
"Huh?" said Wesley. "Oh, hi mom. Lynn invited me to the holodeck tonight.
"Oh, did she now?" said Dr Crusher, a bit teasingly.
"Mom, it's not what you think," said Wesley. "Everyone who's free is welcome to be there. I hear even Commander Riker's coming."
"Well, that doesn't surprise me," said Dr Crusher. "If there's a party Will Riker is sure to be there. But why are you looking through the replicator catalogue?"
"It's a late 20th century themed party," said Wesley. "So, I have to replicate some new clothes." Dr Crusher went over to Wesley. She looked at the screen.
"Is it okay if I help you decide?" she said.
"Sure," said Wesley. "I need all the help I can get."
After Wesley hadn't been able to decide for some clothes after a while, Beverly Crusher (A/N: Dr Crusher's first name, if you didn't know) was getting a bit tired. "Wesley, no man would go though this many clothes unless he had a reason," said Beverly. "You really do like this girl, don't you?" Wesley looked up from the screen, taken by surprise by his mothers question. He swallowed, then looked at his mother and nodded, looking really nervous.
"I.just want everything to go well." he said. Beverly smiled.
"Let me choose the clothes for you," she said. "I'm sure Lynn will like them."
"Okay," said Wesley after a moments silence.
"Where could he be.?" said Lynn, not being able to stand still. She was in holodeck three together with Hermione and a handful of guests.
"Calm down, it's not like he's late," said Hermione. "Not even Ron and Harry have got here yet." Lynn was wearing orange jeans (A/N: Yes, they exist) and a pink top, and Hermione had jeans (not orange though) also and a blue and purple striped top. Now the door opened, and Lynn jumped up from here seat. But it was not Wesley that entered, but Commander Riker. He was wearing a dark purple shirt and black pants. "Ah, Commander Riker, welcome."
"Thank you, Hermione," said Riker. "But I'm of duty, call me Will." Hermione shook her head.
"I think I can stretch it to Riker, but that's about it," she said.
"It's okay," said Riker, smiling.
"Nice clothes by the way," said Hermione.
"Oh, thanks," said Riker, looking down on himself. "I wasn't sure if they were right for the time period." He saw Deanna waving to him across the room. "If you ladies will excuse me." He went over to Deanna. Hermione couldn't help but think that Riker looked really good.
"Clear your head, girl." she thought. "Remember, Ron doesn't look too bad either." Just then someone sneaked up behind her and put his hands over her eyes.
"Now.who am I, you ask," said the person. "A clue: the most handsome guy in the room."
"But Riker is over there." she said, pointing to Riker's general direction.
"Hey!" said the person.
"I'm kidding, Ron," said Hermione. "Of course you're the most handsome guy in the room." Ron took his hands of Hermione's eyes and turned her towards him.
"Don't joke like that, it scares me," said Ron.
"All right," said Hermione. "Um, nice clothes." Ron was wearing a white T- shirt and a pair of jeans.
"Well, it was the only thing I could make the replicator do," said Ron. "That thing hates me."
"Not me on the other hand," said Harry. He was wearing a blue shirt and grey pants, looking a bit more presentable than Ron.
"Well, you look good too, Harry," said Hermione. "Don't the boys look good, Lynn?"
"Fantastic," said Lynn, not even looking at Harry and Ron, but keeping her eyes on the door.
"Wesley's coming here," Hermione said quietly to Harry and Ron.
"Aha," said Ron.
"Yee, who could've guessed..." said Harry, an ironic tone in his voice. Lynn didn't notice any of this.
"Well, boys," said Hermione.
"Well, what?" said Ron.
"Mingle!" said Hermione.
"I didn't know you were such a party girl," said Ron. Hermione hooked arms with Ron.
"There is a lot of things you don't know about me, dear..." she said flirtatiously.
"Well I do know how you look nude," said Ron, smiling. "I think I'll be satisfied with that."
"Okay, any time you wanna get your own quarters, let me know..." said Harry.
"Party pooper," said Hermione, and pouted towards Harry who pouted back. Hermione and Ron went into the crowd. Harry looked out over the room. There was a band playing on a stage (holographic, of course), and in front of it there was a dance floor. There was also a bar, and a couple of tables here and there. All in a late 1990s fashion. Now the door opened, and Lynn jumped up from her seat. But alas, it was not Wesley this time either, but Data. He was wearing a dark green shirt with black pants.
"Data," said Harry. "Surprised to see you here."
"Harry," said Data. "I considered it to be a opportunity to study human interaction further. Especially since this is an unfamiliar environment for most of the guests."
"Well, you'll have an 'opportunity to study human interaction' all right," said Harry. now the door opened once again, and finally Wesley entered. "Watch this..."
"Wesley!" said Lynn, jumping up from here seat, sounding very happy. "Glad you could come. Nice clothes." He was wearing a dark red shirt and jeans.
"Thanks. Well, of course I'd come, Lynn," said Wesley "Besides, I didn't have much else to do." They stood there smiling at each other for a few seconds.
"So do..." said Lynn.
"So do..." said Wesley.
"You first," said Lynn.
"So, um...do want to dance?" said Wesley. Lynn smiled.
"You mind-reader," she said.
"No, that's Troi," said Wesley. They both laughed and walked of towards the dance floor.
"That's human interaction for you..." said Harry. "At least the brewing couple kind of interaction."
"Brewing?" said Data. "Are they preparing some kind of beverage?"
"Um, no..." said Harry. "When I say 'brewing' I in this case mean that they soon will be a couple, that they're developing into it."
"Ah, so 'brewing' is used as a metaphor," said Data.
"Well, um.yes," said Harry.
"Fascinating," said Data. Harry chuckled.
"Come on, let's sit down," said Harry.
"I wonder what they're talking about..." said Hermione, looking over at Harry and Data who was sitting at a table talking. She and Ron were dancing. She chuckled. "Probably something about human behaviour." Ron looked over at Harry and Data also.
"Well, at least it looks like he's having a good time," said Ron. "Looks more healthy than the other day..."
"Holodeck?" said Hermione.
"Oh, yeah, I haven't told you!" said Ron. He told her the whole episode with the Braveheart-program, and about talking to counsellor Troi about it.
"That doesn't sound like the Harry I know," said Hermione. "Well have to keep an eye on him."
Now Geordi LaForge entered the room. He was wearing a grey shirt and light brown pants. He looked out over the room. He saw Reginald Barclay trying to talk to a woman who Geordi didn't recognise, succeeding partly since the woman appreciated Reggie's valiant attempt in spite of him being so shy. Geordi chuckled. Up on the stage Riker was playing the trombone with the band. Geordi then saw Harry and Data talking, and decided to go over to them.
"How you doing, guys?" said Geordi upon reaching the table.
"Hello, Geordi," said Data.
"Hi," said Harry.
"Harry and I was discussing human behaviour," said Data.
"Aha," said Geordi. "Your favourite subject, Data. Anything specific?"
"Among other things, we're discussing Wesley and Lynn," said Harry. "How they are behaving towards each other."
"So, that's it..." said Geordi. "I've been noticing that Wesley's been a bit distracted. Now I know why."
"By the way, I took the liberty of selecting some songs beforehand..." said Lynn. She and Wesley was dancing. "I hope you don't mind?"
"Not at all," said Wesley. By now Riker had stopped playing and rejoined Troi at a table, and the music was handled by a holographic DJ. Now the music changed into a slow song with a woman singing.
"Namida ga ato kara afuredashite
saigo no egao ga niijinde mineiai no
ikanaide, ikanaide koko ni ite
sora e hikari kakenukete yuku"
"I don't recognise the language. What is it?" Now the song picked up, adding a beat to the music. Still the music was very calm.
"Konna ni chiisa na watishi dakedo
anata wo dare yori sei ippai aishita
"It's Japanese," said Lynn. "The song is called Yubiwa, sung by Maaya Sakamoto. It's from a Japanese anime called "Escaflowne: The Movie". I haven't seen it, but I found the song in the music library."
"Arigatou ikutsumo no
taisetsu na kimochi
tewata shite kureta yo ne"
"It's a nice song," said Wesley.
"'Sono toki zutto, watashi wa
kie kaketa hikoukigumo wo mite-ita...'"
"Wasurenaide
hitori ja nei
hanarete mo te wo tsuanide iru
hajimete no koi hajimete shitta
konna kanashimi ga aru koto"
Now Lynn and Wesley danced a little closer together.
"Nagika ga shoumetsu shite mo nagika ga
futabi yadotte
wakare ni kureta hohoemi wa lsukuyo ikiyou to yuu
anata kara no messejii"
They looked into each others eyes.
"Itsu kitto neru
futari naraba
tookutemo hitomi mitsueau
kibou to yume no subete o kakete
yakusoku wo shiyou wo"
Now the song slowed down, starting to end. Lynn and Wesley moved their faces closer together.
"Daite"
Then they kissed.
"Ashita saku mirai wo ikuru"
The song ended, but they continued kissing a few seconds. They stopped kissing.
"Scratch that," said Wesley. "It's a very nice song." He smiled, and so did Lynn. Now another song started with a guitar playing, then after a few seconds a organ tuned in, then a set of drums. Then a male voice began singing and the song picked up. "What's this song called?" Lynn smiled again and looked into his eyes.
"Love," she said. They kissed again. Harry had seen the whole thing.
"Excuse me..." he said. He got up and began walking out of the room.
"The song just now..." said Ron. "...It was in Japanese! Where's Harry?" Ron and Hermione just saw Harry leaving the room, the door closing behind him. Troi walked up to Ron. "Did you see that?"
"Yes," said Troi. "I think we just got another clue." Ron looked over at Wesley and Lynn, who still were kissing.
"Make that two clues," he said.
A/N: Bit longer of a chapter, huh?
The song was my first attempt at a songfic thing, and if you look at the translation of the text it fits pretty good... I was originally going to use "Hero" from the Spider-Man soundtrack, but it was a bit to rocky. Still a great song though (I love the Spider-Man movie ^_^). So when I heard "Yubiwa" upon seeing "Escaflowne: The Movie" I just felt that it was the right song. I tried do find a link to it, but I couldn't...but if you have Kazaa or WinMX(recommended) you can download it trough one of those. Just search for "Yubiwa" or "Escaflowne" (BTW, there are some great Escaflowne music out there...).
Okay, the whole beverage thing maybe was a bit mean to Data. I hope you don't hold it against me too much...
Still only 7 reviews? I just know there's more people reading the story! And again, all of you who have reviewed, THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH!
