Chapter 15

A Tall, Very Old, Annoying Man

Captain Picard sat in his chair, starring at the viewer screen, terribly bored. He turned at the sound of the turbo lift coming to a halt, hoping it was Riker. The doors swooshed open but Riker had not stepped off, instead a timid girl stuck her head around to peak in.

"Angela Jackie shouldn't you be in school?" Picard scolded.

"I don't like school, and I want to be with you." She pouted, giving her best puppy dogface. Counselor Troi let out a giggle, before turning back to her work. Picard sighed.

"Young lady your education is essential to your life."

"I don't get school, I don't know what a engine coil is, where the delta quadrant is located, who the Cardasians are, or anything like that! I want to spend a day with you then maybe you, and the doctor, and the counselor could help me learn." Picard let out another sigh, she did make a good point, she had never been exposed to such elements and they had just feed her to the wolves hopping she would catch on.

"Alright one day, and you won't tell anyone about this agree?" The young girl's face lit up and she eagerly nodded yes. Picard beckoned for Angela Jackie to come sit in the captain's chair, but before he got the opportunity to explain the control panel there was a large flash of light.

"Now isn't she a little to young to be a captain, Picard?" Picard didn't even have to turn around he knew who the voice belonged to.

"What are you doing on my ship Q?" Angela Jackie sat in awe, the man had appeared out of thin air!

"That's not way to greet an old friend now is it Jean Luc?" Q's vision shifted to the girl in the captain's chair. "Do I know you?" Angela Jackie snapped her mouth shut and shook her head no.

"She's none of your business Q now what do you want?" Picard demanded, at the moment Riker walked onto the bridge whistling, his whistling ceased when he saw Q smack dab in the middle of the bridge.

"Ah Commander Riker, number one, so glad to see you've joined us!" Q greeted.

"Whose life are you here to mess with now Q?" Riker snapped, his eyes quickly darted over to Angela Jackie.

"Tisk, tisk you're giving this young lady a wrong impression of me!" Q defended.

"Terribly sorry, here let me introduce you!" Picard offered sarcastically. "Angela Jackie Chandler this is a tall, very old, annoying man, he has other names but we should just call him Q for short. Q, Angela Jackie Chandler." Q looked annoyed, before turning to smile at the young girl. Recognizing her attire Q flashed into a WW2 Army uniform.

"Charmed." He greeted, kissing the little girl's hand. Angela Jackie's face brightened at the sight of a familiar uniform.

"Don't get your hopes up Angela Jackie, he's a fake and a liar, he's just trying to win you over with his "charm"." Riker warned. Q stood erect glaring at the commander.

"I can see only one person is welcoming me here so I might as well get to the point." Picard snorted and rolled his eyes.

"I have a proposition to make." Q grinned. "One that I'm sure everyone would appreciate."
