Chapter 7: Deja Q

Author's Note: Hope you all enjoy this new chapter! I don't own Star Trek. Please review and let me know what you think.

"How about a break? We already watched like six episodes." Troi asked.

"You want a break? Hump. You mortals have such short attention spans."

Q replied.

"I don't know, Q. A break sounds like a good idea to me." Riker commented.

"You're just saying that because you have to!" Q complained.

"I doubt it. A break seems like a good idea to me too." Picard commented.

"Fine! You mortals have your precious break, but be back in an hour."

Q snapped his fingers and Picard found himself in his ready room. He went over to the food replicator and asked for hot Earl Grey tea. The replicator worked almost instantly giving him what he wanted. He sipped on the tea and sat down in his chair. His moment of peace was interrupted by a chime on his door.

"Come in." Picard said and Counselor Troi walked through the door.

"Captain, I was thinking maybe we can convince Worf and B4 to come watch Star Trek with us." Troi said.

"Why do you say that?"

"Well, it would give B4 a chance to learn more about his brother and Worf may be just as fascinated as us to see himself onscreen."

"You may be right. I'll see what I can do. Was that all?"

"Yes, sir."

After Troi left, Picard called in Worf and B4 to his ready room. B4 looked confused and Worf looked serious and stoic.

"Hello gentlemen." Picard greeted.

"What do you need, sir?" Worf asked.

"I was wondering if you two want to see Star Trek with us."

"Why?" B4 asked.

"Because B4, it'll give you a chance to know your brother more."

"How?"

"You will be seeing him onscreen."

B4 looked confused.

"What I mean is you'll be seeing a representation of him onscreen."

"How?"

"It's a bit complicated to explain."

"Why?"

"Perhaps it's better for B4 not to watch Star Trek. He'll just ask too many questions." Q said.

"Q, it is his decision. Let him choose."

"No." B4 said.

"Why not?"

"I do not wish to ruin your experience. I may ask a lot of questions. I do not wish to bother you with questions."

"Okay, fair enough. What about you, Worf?"

"Hmm, I am interested in watching this Star Trek. What is it about?" Worf asked.

"It's about us, of course. Well you, me, and the rest of the Enterprise." Q answered.

"I will watch it with you." Worf said.

"Really? Okay. Picard, your break is about over anyways so-"

"Alright, Q. Let's start the next episode." Picard replied.

Q smirked and snapped his fingers and suddenly Troi, Riker, Wesley, Geordi, Worf, Dr. Crusher, and Picard were all there in the theater staring at the screen. The next episode began with a captain's log with Picard talking about a moon that was descending towards a populated planet. Offscreen, Worf looked at Picard in bewilderment.

"Relax, klingon. It's just a show." Q said.

The episode continued with their first attempt to move the moon. Then Q appeared naked on the Enterprise. Q smiled wide at seeing himself onscreen again.

"Look, it's me!" Q said excitedly.

"Yes, Q, this isn't the first time we saw you onscreen." Picard mentioned.

"And it won't be the last, captain. I promise you that."

Picard rolled his eyes and the episode continued with the introduction and Q in a tight outfit. Q admitted to being kicked out of the continuum and stripped of all his powers and was met by looks of disbelief and annoyance.

"I still can't believe you mortals wouldn't listen to me!" Q said loudly.

"You lied to us and tricked us before, Q. You didn't deserve trust then or now, now that I think about it." Riker replied.

"I was human. No if, ands, or buts about it."

"Quiet, Q." Picard ordered.

Q frowned and the episode continued as Troi described what Q was feeling as terrified.

"That was mean, Troi. You should be feed to the alligators if you think Q the magnificent was ever terrified." Q said.

"I was just being honest." Troi replied.

"Hey-"

"I said be quiet, Q! Now be quiet!" Picard ordered.

"Okay, okay geez."

The episode continued with Q being thrown in the brig. Q frowned offscreen but stayed quiet like Captain Picard ordered. Picard told the people that their first attempt to restore the moon had failed. Then Data reported to being scanned. Picard asked Q for an explanation and Q offered his assistance.

Picard agreed to let Q help and assigned him Data to keep him out of trouble. Data and Q talk.

"Oh, Data always wishing to be a pitiful human when he was the best human I ever met." Q commented.

"Q, I'm starting to think you generally care about Data." Picard replied.

"I don't care." Q lied.

"Say whatever you want, but it's not going to convince me that you don't."

"Maybe I do care. Shut up and leave it alone."

The episode continued. Q hurt his back and suggested changing the gravitational constant of the universe. Geordi replied that he couldn't and Q seems surprised.

"I don't get it. I thought you were supposed to be all knowing. How could you be all knowing and not know what humans are not capable of?" Wesley asked.

"Shut up, Wesley. I am all knowing."

"But-"

"I said shut up, Wesley."

The episode continued. Geordi figures out how he can change the gravitational constant of the moon and Q discovers he is hungry. Data suggests eating how he feels so Q orders ten chocolate sundaes. Guinan walks into Ten Forward and stabs Q in the hand. Guinan tells Q he's only going to survive on charity. Then the calamarain attack and Data tries to help.

Then Captain Picard, Riker and Q talk and they agree to let Q stay and help. Picard talks with the people on the planet. Geordi prepares for another attempt to restore the moon to its orbit and assigns Q to manually adjust the field output.

"I can't believe you treated me like a stupid little monkey, Mr. LaForge." Q complained.

"You deserved a little menial task." Geordi replied.

"But my skills-"

"Don't matter."

"But-

"Shut up, Q." Picard said and Q was quiet.

The episode continued with Data saving Q from the calamarain.

"Data, you were so sacrifical. Your best human quality." Q commented.

"You're right, Q."

"Of course I'm right."

The episode continued with Q and Picard talking. Then Q talked to Data and called him a better human than himself. Q then steals a shuttle to sacrifice himself to the calamarain. Q then talks to q and Q gets back his powers. Q goes back to the Enterprise and celebrates. Q then gives Data the gift of laughter and returns the moon to its proper orbit.

"That was nice of Q." Wesley commented.

Q merely shook his head no and they all prepared to watch the next episode.
