Things are not going well.
I'm stuck in a shuttle with Ro Laren, having had to escape from the Enterprise. Ro and I have been deleted from the Starfleet database, so as a result, we are civilians. The Cap tried to have us confined to quarters, but we're going to find the truth.
But why did it have to be Ro? Her insubordination always annoys me.
"What are we going to do, Riker?" she asks me.
"It's Commander Riker." I remind her.
"Not right now, Mister Riker." she sarcastically reminds me, "We are civilians. Now I suggest we have a truce and work this out."
I don't like it when she's right.
"All right, Ro." I concede, "Let's see what we can come up with."
"What I think." says Ro, "Is that we've got to go to the source of the problem."
"The database." I tell her, "And that's at Starfleet Headquarters on Earth. They have the huge computer there."
"Perhaps we can sneak in and restore our details?" Ro suggests, "The Maquis Handbook 'How to break in to Starfleet buildings' that I read recently should help me."
"But that's illegal!" I say to her.
"Of course it is, Riker!" she replies, "But so was deleting our names, so forget you're a Starfleet Commander, because right now, you're not!"
This woman can put me in my place.
"How will we get past, Ro?" I ask, "Earth's defenses are so powerful."
"Not tonight." she tells me, "Don't you know that today is Valentine's Day? All the parties and preparations will be going on. Nobody will take any notice of a small shuttle."
That reminds me that the Enterprise will be having their Valentine's Party around now; the Cap will be dancing with Beverly Crusher all night, and Deanna...she won't have me to dance with. That Worf will probably try and get a few waltzes in. Hopefully Jadzia Dax will stop Worf being romantic with Deanna, especially during the smoochy numbers.
"I know why you're sulking." Ro tells me, "You're not at the Enterprise Valentine Dance. If it's any consolation, I didn't have an invite, so...Happy Valentine's Day."
I say the same to Ro and kiss her; she doesn't pull back.
We both look embarrassed afterward and agree between us that the kiss never happened. I'm with Deanna, and Ro and I are supposed to dislike each other.
We agree that our mutual dislike on the Enterprise is the best form of behaviour between ourselves..
The shuttle lands just outside the grounds of Starfleet Headquarters.
"All right." says Ro, "Let's go inside and solve it."
To be continued...

I always thought there was some... chemistry... between Riker and Ro; I just don't remember if that was actually the subject of a show on TNG.
But I'm very concerned about the Federation, Captain. Every single holiday, the security drops to zero. You should send a memo to HQ on that: Give them a little of their own back.
I was hoping you might have a Valentine's Dance, I've got my best dress ready, I'm really hoping we can make it.
There is a manual on how to break into your buildings? Maybe Seven is right and you guys should be asslimulated.
Love is in the air. What will they do next? Have they been struck by Cupid himself?
I love stolen kisses, they are so romantic...
it's hard for me to imagine the elegant Captain using the word "smoochy." Maybe amorous? Or maybe I'm making him too Spock-like....
Anyway, thanks for the cyber visit to my sciatic sick bed. Maybe in your time, Jean Luc, prisoners are a ususal accessory for emergency rooms. Interesting. In our time, on our planet, however, it's usually just drunks, in all their stupid, injured glory.
Commander Riker does have his lapses of judgment occasionally...let's just hope he doesn't get caught with his pants down, literally and figuratively, even if it is Valentine's Day!
happy V day dont forget to attend my wedding :)
Happy Valentine's from me too, captain, I know it will go well for you.
There's a wider conspiracy here dammit.
The comment I placed yesterday was deleted! It's cuz I was on to somethin' I tell ya....
And, not only did it delete my post, when I tried to expose my lack of web knowl.... the strange happenings, it changed my name from Lahdeeda to Lisa!
What's going on captain!!!!
Curmudgeon, yes there was in one episode when they all lost their memories.
Ellee, I had considered a Valentine's dance, but there was one last year. Your dress might be useful in the near future.
Elizabeth, that post was narrated by Riker, who WOULD use the word 'smoochy'.
Windwhisperer, both Riker & Ro agreed that the stolen kiss didn't happen.
Lisa & Lahdeedah, you might be on to something.
Happy Valentines Day!!!
I just knew those two would hook up even if it was just a kiss!
Awwww how romantic, wonderful Valentine's day to you!
Poor Riker, he's always having women put him in his place.
Happy Valentines Day Captain!
Finally! I've been trying to comment ALL day...must be the snowy weather.
This plot seems strangly familiar...LOL...love it
Happy Valentine's day to you too, Jean-Luc :)
I came across your Captain's Log quite by accident but have added it to my favorites. It is wonderful!!!! I will be tuning in to see how Riker and Ro get out of this one....
Very entertaining and I loooooove it!!!
I always had a thing for Riker's blue eyes and Captain Pickard is by far the best looking captain of all time!
Looking forward to tomorrow's entry:
"Star date ....."
hi jean luc! just stopping by to see if there is chocolate in here, but sadly, once again, there is none. sigh... these space ships could learn so much from cruise ships honey.
smiles, bee
There's a rumor going around that on the ENTERPRISE the crew dissolve into tiny particles into each other for sex and kissing. Is this true?
Mrs M, some of these rumours...you never know...
Bee, You and Deanna both have an irrational love of chocolate.
LMESSU, thanks for the compliment.
Ciera, I think I know what you mean. Happy Valentine's Day.
yeah I cant sign in during comments with the new blogger propperly
I've always said they should do a reality T.V. show aboard a shuttle.
