Hey, peoples! This is my first try at a Star Trek fic and also my first crack at an Lord of the Rings fic as well, so be gentle with me. This is meant to be entirely comedic which means that I'm not trying to insult the characters of either genre. I don't own Star Trek or Lord of the Rings and beyond that if you wanna sue me, the only thing I can pay you in is paperclips so try it. I DARE ya!!! Mrowmrowmrow!!!! = ^,^=

The Enterprise's Yearly Play

Chapter 1 - The Cast List

Data walked down the halls of the Enterprise towards Ten Forward holding the cast list to this year's play in his hands. Data was always chosen as the Director for these plays due to his inability to be anything less than objective during auditions. Briefly he wondered if chosing Tolkien's Lord of the Rings: The Fellowship of the Ring had been a good idea. He'd found the script for it while doing research on Felix the Cat in the hopes that perhaps he could train his own cat Spot to behave the same way. But he'd already had the auditions, so he knew that it was too late now to go back. The cast list was made up of the senior members of the crew. He just hoped that no one would be angry with his casting choices. He knew deep down that some people were going to make a fuss though.
He got to Ten Forward and nodded hello to Guinan who grinned and waved back. Then Data walked up to the crew's bulletin counsel and posted the cast list. Then he walked out again to go on duty.
Deanna Troi had been sitting in the back of Ten Forward where she was fairly certain that Data hadn't seen her. As soon as he went out the door, she was up and looking over the cast list. This is what she saw:

The Cast List for The Lord of the Rings: Fellowship of the Ring

Counselor Troi grinned mischieviously. She knew that a couple of people and Worf especially were going to be shall we say "slightly perturbed" at Data's casting, though she did have to admit that everyone fit into the parts given them extremely well. She knew that the next shift was almost over and the Captain would be coming in soon. She hid herself in the back again and waited for Picard to arrive.

Okay, that was my first chapter. Did I forget and characters from either series? Please tell me. Read and review pleeesh!!!!
