Planning A Party

I'm in my Ready Room and Riker walks in; he can see I'm busy, so I know it's question-and-answer time.

"Hi Captain" he says, "What are you doing?"

What does he think I'm going to say? The waltz?

"I'm planning a party to take place here on the Enterprise in Ten Forward this weekend, Number One."

"That's great" he replies, "I always love to be involved in any party."

"We won't be involved in the party, except perhaps watching from the sidelines."

"So who will be in the party?" asks Riker, rather puzzlingly. The reason he likes parties is it's a chance to eat any fattening foods that are there.

"The people in our Guest Quarters; this weekend, the 200th post in my Journal will have been reached, and I want to make sure that our guests have a good time."

"You're not going to bring a crate of Bajoran '29 are you?" Riker worringly asks, "Only I remember you had that when you reached the 100th entry, and it took us all a week to get you sober again."

I think for a moment and recall the incident. I've tried to forget about that and decide to cancel that off the forthcoming drinks list.

"Err..no, Number One, I won't have any of that around."

"Do you think our Guests might be any trouble?" Riker asks me.

"I don't think so, Number One; make sure Mr Worf and his Security team are close to hand, though, we want it all to go smoothly."

I send out a personal invitation to appear on their screens in their Quarters.

I hope this won't be a mistake.

Well Captain, I figure you could use a little play time and the rest of us could benefit from learning a little about Jean-Luc. So you've been tagged! You are not officially it....check out my blog to see why! Go Enterprise!

A party!?

And you invited Vampirella...You do know that she's pregnant.

As her friend and as her doctor, I would advise that you keep your eyes on her.

A party? Woo woo! The world of the future must be pretty sweet, you're having picnics and parties all the time.

Congrats on your impending 200.

Another party?! I remember what an odyssey I had trying to get home after the Christmas party. I really don't think that - what's that Maggie? - you really want to go? - but it's in the 24th century - but we'll have to travel through . . - I know Wolverine is going but . . - but . . - but . .

Okay fine. We'll be there Jean-Luc. But I'm bringing some muscle with me this time. Just in case.

White Rabbit said...

Jean-Luc,

I am incredibly honored and flattered to be invited to your illustrious party. I will be on my best behavior, and in my best clothes!

And I will try very, very hard to keep my latent envy of Beverly Crusher from making an unwanted appearance. But after a few glasses of wine- I make no promises.

A party?

Make it so.

I'll be here with bells on!
