"Q!" shouted Q's brother. "Q get your butt over here!"
"What's all the fuss about?" Q asked smugly.
"You know very well what the fuss is about!"
"Not that little prank I'm pulling! Q, you've got to learn to loosen up a bit!"
Q's brother looked like he was about to pop.
"You know that blonde that you transferred into the future? The one the humans can't take readings on? THEY CAN'T TAKE HER READINGS BECAUSE SHE'S HALF Q! SHE'S MY DAUGHTER AND YOUR NEICE! When you exposed her to YOUR q powers, it awakened HER dormant powers and if the Q council finds out they'll kill her because she's a halfling who has too much power for her to understand or control!"
"Oh." Said Q, humbling. "Oops."
"I thought you weren't allowed in here anymore." Said Geordi, glaring at Heather, who had just walked into main engineering.
"I won't touch anything, I promise!" Said Heather, holding her hands up by her shoulders. "I'm just here to see Nell!"
"Fine, but I'm assigning a security guard to you. J'holl! I need you to watch her!"
A young Vulcan followed Heather over to Danielle as Heather gave in a quizzical look. J'holl watched as Heather whispered something to Danielle, and then turned to him.
"Nice face lift." She said with her hands on her hips.
J'holl raised an eyebrow.
"I have not undergone any cosmetic surgery." He stated simply.
"Then how do you explain looking like a Vulcan when you're a Romulan?" Heather shot back.
"You are making a pre-mature assumption. I assure you, I am a Vulcan."
"Liar, liar, pants on fire." Mumbled Danielle under her breath.
Suddenly, J'holl's pants began to smoke, then burn. He jumped, then screamed a Romulan curse, dropping to the floor and rolling.
"Okay, I'm going to blame that on coincidence." Said Dani, laughing at the visibly angry 'Vulcan'.
"Hey Geordi! I found a spy!" shouted Heather across engineering.
"J'holl is not a spy, he is a valued member of the crew!" Geordi shouted, striding across the room.
"Did you forget? I'm a betazoid!"
"So is Deanna, and she never suspected anything!"
"He was never near her. J'holl here has been avoiding our dear, dear councilor. Haven't you?" Said Heather in a mock baby voice, patting J'holl on the cheek, who growled and tried to bite her.
"Gotta go!" yelled Danielle and Heather at the same time, leaving Geordi behind to deal with J'holl.
"Woah, how'd you do that?!" exclaimed Heather once inside her quarters.
"Wish I knew." Said Danielle, looking around the room. "Are you just physically unable to keep a room clean for more than a week?"
"This IS clean. Which brings me to the real reason I even came into engineering at all. Help me find something to wear tonight. I've been replicating clothes from The Gap and Sears catalogue archives all morning and I can't decide what to wear."
"Well that explains the mess. Where are you going tonight?"
"Holodeck. With Wes. Duh."
"I know THAT. Where though?"
"I dunno, it's a surprise. He told me to wear comfortable clothes though, so dresses are bye-bye."
Dani cocked her head to the side. "What about leather?" A pair of socks whizzed by her head as she ducked. "I'll take that as a no.
Heather glared at her for a minute before she said, "We need the gang's opinion."
Her comment was met by a nod from Danielle.
"I know, I wish they were here."
"What's all the fuss about?" Q asked smugly.
