Dear Diary,
At Caroline's party I met somebody. Well, technically I met lots of people. But one person really stood out in my mind. A boy named Jonathan. I only spoke to him for five seconds… and then he had to leave. Only seconds later I found out that he was one of the 'other side', one of the Trekkies the Star Wars club fights with.
Speaking of which…
Why does it matter if they like Star Trek? The fan club rivalry doesn't make much sense. Can't people be fans of more than one fandom? According to my cousin Caroline the answer is no. As I write this I wonder what George Lucas would say? Having 'invented' Star Wars for the money alone, he'd probably just say: "go away!"
I wonder who 'invented' Star Trek. I wonder what they would think of the 'war'. Would they be embarrassed by Jonathan sneaking into a party as some sort of undercover mission? Probably.
It's getting quite late now. Time to sleep.

When Caroline walked into Julie's room to wake her up, she was quite surprised to see that the girl wasn't there. The bed had clearly been slept, at least. Caroline soon discovered that her cousin wasn't anywhere on the second floor of the house.
Maybe she went to the kitchen to get breakfast?
"Julie?" Caroline called as she walked down the stairs.
No answer.
Caroline searched every single room on the ground floor, the entire basement….
Julie wasn't anywhere in the house.
Stupid girl left the house to get breakfast! And the closest thing this town has to a Starbucks is in Trekkie territory…
Thankfully, Mark's family lived next door. One thing about small towns is that everyone lives really close together.
Caroline knocked on the door to Mark's house, praying he knew where Julie was. Finally, his mother opened it.
"Hello, Caroline. Are you looking for my son?"
She nodded. "Yes. Where is he?"
"Playing video games in the basement."
Caroline nearly knocked the poor woman over as she rushed to find her dear friend. There he sat, playing video games on his X-box.
"Mark Walter Lucianus, turn that damn game off right now!"
Rolling his eyes, he did so. "What's wrong?"
"Julie's gone missing."
"Do you think one of the Trekkie's kidnapped her?" Mark asked, raising an eyebrow.
"If they hadn't already, I'm sure they have by now."
Five minutes later, they were frantically searching the Star Wars club territory and the Neutral Zone.

My First Officer, Commander Jonathan Becker, wasn't at the meeting we held this morning. A pity, since he was part of the Away Team that infiltrated the enemy's celebration. He hasn't been seen all day, in fact. I believe our foe has captured him. Tactical Officer Marie Rozhenko believes we should wait until the enemy admits they have captured Commander Becker before we do anything too extreme. Communications Officer Spinner says that the Commander probably ran off with the girl he met at the party, but I highly doubt it. I'd better organize meeting with the enemy's leader. That should keep violence to a minimum- on both sides.

The nerve of those Imperials! They've definitely kidnapped Caroline Owens's cousin Julie. I can't believe they'd do something so bold. I haven't notified anyone yet, in case somebody has become a traitor. I told Harris to keep a look out for the poor girl, but he doesn't know why yet. The worst part is she's not an official member of the club yet. They've never done such a thing before. I'm going to send a message to their base in the hope that we can meet. Maybe while I'm meeting with stupid ol' Patrick, Harris can lead a few of the others on a secret rescue mission.
Whatever happens, I sure hope we can explain it to Caroline's Mom without any trouble…
To: Mark, leader of the Star Wars Club
From: The Star Trek Fan club
We have evidence that your so-called 'rebel alliance' has taken our first officer, Jonathan Becker, prisoner. In the hope that we could get him back, we'd like to organize a meeting to discuss this matter.
We will call a temporary ceasefire for this assembly. Any weapons you bring (including [but not limited to] spray paint, confetti-filled balloons, water pistols) will be confiscated upon your arrival at the meeting.
Dearest Patrick, 'Captain' of the stupid Trekkies,
I know you've kidnapped my girlfriend's cousin. No doubt it took quite a bit of work. Sorry, but we'd like her back now. We should meet for coffee (at that great café in your territory) so we can discuss you giving her back.
Yours,
Mark

Earlier this afternoon, a teenage girl was spotted in the Ten Forward without an accompanying adult. Nobody knows who she is as of yet. Our barkeep Guinan called security, but the girl disappeared by the time help could arrive.
In other, somewhat related, news: a strange boy was seen attending classes this afternoon. According to the teacher who brought this to my attention, he didn't appear to be registered in any class he attended or in any of the ship's computers. He is not yet perceived as a threat, though he's being held in the brig at this moment in time.
