So, I just saw Star Trek Nemesis, and oh my gosh was it good. I was the only one awake by the end thought (which is just strange).
"Hey! We're approaching Earth." Miral bounded into the Mess Hall, deliriously excited about the news. They wouldn't reach there for a full day, but she couldn't wait to see her father.
"What, Miral? You think no one else knows that?"
Miral realized that Q, who had just spoken, was the only person in the room. She bounded over, laughing, nothing could destroy her good mood. He was sitting at a table, reading a PADD and seemingly uninterested in what she was saying. She was thankful he had said nothing since her outburst in her quarters several weeks before, indeed he had done more than she asked and completely reversed the feeling of anxiety that came over her when she saw him.
"Hey, Junior." She called, using the irksome pet name that had been inspired by her brief meeting of his father.
"Don't call me that." he said, looking up at her while taking a sip of coffee.
"Why not?" she joked as she sat opposite of him.
"Ok." he said, "You can call me that if you tell me what's with your eyes."
"What?" She furrowed her brow, partly of indignation and partly of confusion.
"Your eyes, my Father told me something strange about them."
"What did he say?"
"He said they were prodigal."
"He said that?" she laughed, "Well, they are one of a kind."
He looked at her expectantly.
"Ok. I can see sound and heat and particle radiation as well as light energy. Essentially, my brain works at super-high speed and so I can comprehend everything around me. Is that prodigal?" she joked.
"I can see it too."
"What?"
"That's what I see too. Except that I can control it a little more probably."
"How so?"
"Well, every material thing is made of energy vibrating at a fast enough level that it seems to become solid or tangible. Other things are made of energy vibrating at a higher level so that the mortal eye cannot see it. If I focus my mind on a certain frequency, then I just see that energy level. I can't focus on all of them at once though."
"Oh."
"You wanna go to the Holodeck or something? I've got a time slot reserved."
She smiled at him. "The Holodeck's a little fake for me."
"Me too." he laughed. "You wanna go some place real instead?"
"For sure."
"Where?"
"You pick."
"I've got something you'll love: it's a conversion of galaxies and the black holes at the centre are about to swallow each other."
Miral nodded in agreement. "Hey, Q."
"Yes?"
"What do I look like?"
He smiled at her, realizing for the first time that she couldn't see anything, not even her own appearance. "You look beautiful." he told her and then kissed her on the forehead.
Ok, I know it wasn't very long, but I'm really running out of free time here (and I am soooooo tired). Oh, by the way look, they're bonding R&R.
