Morn spun round to face Sisko and pointed at him as two bursts of glitter shot up from the stage.

"Her name was Lola! She was a showgirl!" he sang, in a perfect imitation of Barry Manilow.

"He's so dreamy..." Keiko sighed.

"And while she tried to be a star, Tony always tended bar!"

Sisko shook his head and drew himself up to his full height. "WHAT'S GOING ON HERE?"

Everyone spun round guiltily and the music faded.

"I turn my back for one moment and you sneak off behind my back!" Sisko roared, pacing up and down in front of the sheepish looking crew.

"We were desperate, Benjamin!" Dax broke in. "We had no other choice!"

"Give me the microphone!" Sisko ordered.

"No!" they all screamed. "Morn don't do it!"

Too late. Sisko sprang up to the stage and input his song into the computer.

"Everybody on the dance floor!" he yelled. "This time we're gonna get funky!"

Resigned to their fates, the others drifted onto the dance floor as the Cha Cha Slide began.

"Alright, we're gonna do the basic steps!" Sisko hollered. "To the left!"

Kira looked up halfway through to see Dukat standing near her, a huge grin plastered to his face as he 'cha-cha'd'.

"You look like you're having fun," she said grudgingly.

"Right foot let's stomp!"

"I am, Major!"

"FREEZE! Everybody clap your hands!"


Kira collapsed next to Jadzia as Sisko finally bounded off the stage.

"I told you he would notice!" she grumbled.

"It's my turn!"

Both women turned to see Quark scurrying onto the stage to put in his song. Kira started laughing as the Bugsy Malone classic filled the air.

Quark started to strut across the stage as he sang: "Anybody who is anybody will soon walk through that door, at..."

Rolling her eyes, Kira yelled, "Fat Sam's Grand Slam!"


"Dax and Kira, you're up!" Sisko yelled.
