Chapter 8: Parallels:

Author's Note: Sorry I haven't got to this in a while. I had a bad case of writer's block. But I'm back with a request to do Parallels so here goes nothing. I do not own Star Trek or any of the characters. I credit everything to Gene Roddenberry and his crew. Hope you enjoy the new chapter! 8D!

The next episode began with Worf talking about how he won the tournament. Worf offscreen looked a bit shocked.

"How could they have known about that?" Worf asked.

"It's incredible isn't it? Humans from decades before were able to know and act like a person who wouldn't exist for decades. Quite amazing." Q replied.

"Is that me?"

"No, you stupid klingon that isn't you. It's just an actor."

"Then how could the err actor know my exact log entry?"

"Simple. Gene Roddenberry was a brilliant human capable of coincidently creating a universe that would one day become reality."

"I see. Then who is it on screen?"

"That would be Michael Dorn."

"Well, I have to admit that Micheal Dorn portrays me quite well."

"Yes he does. Now will you shut up and watch the episode!"

The episode continued with Worf getting on the ship and talking about a relay post that stopped transmitting yet again, except Worf was unusually tense because it was his birthday.

"How could they have known about my birthday?" Worf asked.

"Coincidence again, klingon. Now shut for the second time." Q replied annoyed.

The episode continued with Worf being surprised in his quarters for his birthday. Then the introduction played. Worf was sang "He's a Jolly Good Fellow" in klingon. Then Worf cut the cake which was supposed to be chocolate. Then Data gave Worf a painting. Then when Geordi approached Worf switched universes and the cake that was chocolate was now vanilla and Captain Picard was there when before he was needed on the bridge.

"Now I really wish that we threw you that surprise birthday party." Riker commented offscreen.

"I don't." Worf replied.

"Klingons, you're such party poopers." Q said.

Worf only glared in response and the episode continued.

It was discovered that the relay post was transmitting to somewhere else so Riker assembled an away team to find out what the array has been transmitting. Then Worf arrives in Ten Forward to speak to Counselor Troi and asks her to be Alexander's sol chlm.

Q giggled.

"Q, don't be rude. I love being Alexander's sol clm." Troi stated.

"You and Worf?"

"Who cares Q? That's the past. It's me and Riker now."

"Whatever." Q said laughing to himself.

The episode continued with Worf being called to engineering. Worf goes and they discuss how a Cardassian vessel may have been intercepting transmissions. Then Geordi comes closer and Worf switches realities again. He goes to Sick Bay and Dr. Crusher tells him how he got a concussion and lost the tournament. Worf tries to prove her wrong and only finds a different Bat'leth trophy than the original that he won. He shows her the logs only to discover they are different from what he recorded. So Dr. Crusher goes on thinking that these are symptoms of a concussion.

"I can't believe the alternate you couldn't tell that something bigger was wrong." Weasley commented.

"I can because I would have thought it was just the concussion too." Dr. Crusher replied.

"Well, then I feel bad for Worf."

The episode continued with a Cardassian vessel coming and Picard opening a channel. Then Worf said that the Cardassian vessel was responsible for reprogramming the array only not to be believed. Picard asks Data to investigate his claims. Worf returns to his quarters confused and frustrated. Geordi comes to tell him he's wrong then Worf switches universes again and the painting moves. He switches universes again and the painting changes. He switches universes again and he is on the bridge being ordered to raise shields.

"Wow, that must have been very disorientating Worf." Troi commented.

"And confusing." Worf added.

The episode went on with Riker taking over tactical from Worf. Worf asked to be relived of duty and Picard accepts. Worf then returns to his quarters and finds his trophy gone. He reviews his logs to discover that he apparently never been to the Bat'leth tournament. Troi comes in and invites him to sit down. Off screen Q raised his eyebrow. When she planted a kiss on Worf, Q began to laugh.

Riker just shook his head, "She's my wife, Worf you can't have her." Riker joked.

"I know that commander. I would never come in between you and the counselor." Worf replied seriously.

"Dang klingon, can't you tell Riker was merely joking?" Q asked.

"I could not. I apologize, commander." Worf said.

"Apology accepted." Riker said and the episode continued.

Worf discovered that the changes were all happening around Geordi when talking to Data. They go to talk to Geordi and realize that he is dead. They activate the visor and once again Worf changes realities. Worf discovered he is now a commander and still married to Counselor Troi. Data and Worf go to talk to Riker in the ready room. They then discover that Worf is from a different reality. They track the shuttle that apparently never left the Enterprise and discover that it has passed through a quantum anamoly. They then learn from Data that all realities that can happen do happen in an alternative reality.

They then talk about getting Worf back. Worf returned to his quarters with Troi who is sad her Worf may never return. She worries about the children they have, but Worf is not happy to hear that Alexander is not part of this universe. He has to go back. A Bajoran ship attacks and the quantum fissure destabilizes and the different Enterprises enter the reality. They then discover the right ship that Worf came from. They talk and a shuttle is sent so Worf could get back to his reality. Before he leaves, Worf kisses Counselor Troi.

"Eww gross." Q commented.

"Nobody asked what you thought, Q." Picard replied.

Q rolled his eyes and the episode continued. The shuttle comes under attack from one of the Enterprises. They refuse to go back to their universe because the Borg are everywhere. Riker has no choice but to try and disable the ship. The ship already weak from fighting with the Borg is destroyed. Worf then returns to his own universe and realizes that he yet again won the Bat'leth tournament. He tells Riker what happened and is nervous that he will once again have a surprise party. Troi tells him that she talked Riker out of it and gave him his birthday present. Worf then invites her to dinner.

When the episode is over, Q claps, "More?"

"Why not?" Picard replies and they all get ready for the next episode.

Author's Note: Did you like it? This took me all night so I hope it was adequate. Tell me which episode to do next. I'm kinda leaning towards The Big Goodbye, but I could change my mind if I receive a good suggestion. Don't forget to review. 8D!
