Chapter 5
Q's Checkup
Princess Lina lowered herself into the warm bubble bath, as a child she loved bubble baths, but since the war had started she had to skip out on the bubble baths. She was getting comfortable when there was a flash. Princess Lina gasped right beside her was Q.
"Do you have any manners!" She demanded, not appreciating Q's sudden appearance.
"Yes in fact I do." Lina lowered herself more into the tub.
"Do you mind?"
"No I don't." Q smirked. Lina sighed.
"What do you want." She demanded stepping into her royal role.
"Just checking up on you."
"I'm just dandy." Princess Lina snapped.
"Temper, temper. You know you should be praising me and instead you're throwing me out of your bathroom." Princess Lina rolled her eyes.
"Tell me Q how am I suppose to find a solution here."
"The answer is here, and don't think that pouring over all those treaties will help you because they wont." Princess Lina huffed causing the bubbles near her chin to swish up and onto her nose, she quickly brushed them off.
"Now you tell me."
"You had to find out on your own."
"Can we have this conversation after my bath?"
"Maybe."
"I say yes."
"You act like a princess."
"I am a princess." Q leaned back against the wall.
"Fine." With that he flashed out and Lina was left to enjoying the rest of her bath.

Picard was leaning back in his chair, sipping on his tea, when Q flashed in front of him.
"What do you want Q." Picard inquired without glancing up from his book.
"Honestly nobody is appreciating me today." Picard laid down his book, taking his tea in both hands he stared across his desk at Q. "Better."
"What do you want Q." Picard repeated.
"I wanted to check in on the princess, but she was in the middle of a bath and kicked me out."
"I'm not surprised I would of too." Q made a face.
"Your different Jean-Luc, I would never barge in on you in the shower…now if you were Troi, or Janeway or Crusher…" The tip of the captain's ear turned a tint of red.
"I can see I'm no longer wanted here." With that Q flashed out and Picard returned to his reading.

Commander Riker was completing his run on the holodeck with Counselor Troi when Q flashed onto the bench near him.
"Go away Q." They said simontaniously as they jogged past them. Q frowned.
"Maybe I'll just come back on another date." He was about to flash of the ship, when another idea crept into his head.
"Or maybe not." He smiled.
I know this is not one of my better stories, but I can't leave a story uncompleted look for updates in Time Travel coming soon!
