Beverly & Queen Diana (Part Two)



Guest Poster: Wesley Crusher

Gee, things do seem to be in a fix!

Captain Picard has suggested that we tell Karena, my fiancee, that another girl has fallen for me. It might slow down the marriage, as Karena and her mother, Queen Diana are anxious to rush it through.

The Enterprise is on it's way to Wondawowman, where Mom can talk to the Queen about the marriage.

We have thought about using Ensign Ro Laren as the girl who has fallen for me.

----------

Mom, the Captain and myself are talking to Ro. She is looking worried.



"This sounds all very dangerous." she says, "I don't like the look of that spear Karena has. She will accuse me of stealing her fiance."

"You don't have to be amorous to Wes." says Mom, "Just tell her like that you care for him deeply, and would like him to give you a chance before he marries Karena."

"That sounds VERY risky." Ro comments, "I can see that spear coming through me within seconds of me saying that. However, a Bajoran is always a risk taker, so I'll do it."

"Thanks, Ro!" I say, and give her a peck on the cheek.

"Careful!" Ro exclaims, "If Karena had seen that, we would have been in the soup!"

--------------

Ten minutes later, we are setting it all up. I am walking to Ten Forward with Karena when Ro approaches me.

"Hello, Wes, hello Karena." Ro starts nervously, looking at the spear, "Errr..you may not know me, Karena, but I'm Ro Laren, and I care a lot about Wes."

"Oh yes?" Karena replies aggressively.



"Err...yes." continues Ro, "So much so, I asked him to be with me instead of yourself. I said that the wedding may be too rushed, when he ought to know there are women like me who admire him as well."

"I see." Karena answers, with her hand firmly gripped around her spear.

I'm getting nervous. Mom is probably standing by in case I have to beam Ro to SickBay.

Karena turns me.

"I was unaware, Wes." she tells me, "That you had followed our planet's pre-wedding rituals so closely."

Now I'm confused; I hear her say more.

"As you know, the Life Servant-to-be must present to his bride-to-be with the woman who he has turned down in order to be with her. I'm so happy, Wes, that you have turned down this woman to be my Life Servant."

Karena hugs and kisses me, then turns to Ro.

"Thank you, Ro Laren." as she hugs her, "You have played your part well in this tradition."

Ro looks baffled, thanks Karena, smiles at me, and leaves.

"Well, darling Wes," Karena says, "We are almost at Wondawowman; there our mothers can discuss the wedding arrangements."

I don't think things worked out as planned.

Things didn't work out as planned, no. Ro is still with the ship... but, Captain! You're almost rid of Wes.

Dare we hope for a happy ending?

Unknown said...

Maybe he better study those rituals a little closer. there must be something in there that disqualifies him as a wifem I mean life servant.

Linda said...

Marry the wuss off to Karena and let him live his life out on Wondawowman wondering what the heck happened! Would be the best thing for Wes!

John A Hill said...

Ensign Ro, hot in a creepy sort of way...but not as creepy as Karena.

Can I go to the wedding too?

Tawnya Shields said...

This is bad news. I hope it gets sorted out in some way.

Nancy Wu said...

hmmm, it sounds strange to use this strategy. Marriage is meant to kill out the competitors. The existance of other girls ought to rush the marriage, logically. :D

Lavender said...

LIFE SERVANT??? PLANETARY PRE-WEDDING RITUALS????
ROFL!!!!

Lavender said...

((( still laughing )))))

November Rain said...

I am with Lavender I never saw that coming

Anonymous said...

my last girlfriend was aggressive she had claws... I refused to fight her so she called me a coward and broke up with me... Maybe that will work with you?

Justice said...

wow how are you going to get out of this? I know maybe if you find someone else who wants to be her life mate

tell a ferengie that it would be a great business deal


remember to use reverse psychology...

Shiara said...

that might work they both dominate the other gender

I guess we will have to wait and see

The Mistress of the Dark said...

Poor Wes. He should run for it.

Amanda said...

What a twist!

Anonymous said...

Well, this is a turn for the worse

Jean-Luc Picard said...

I think we's all like Wes out of the way.

Ellee. if there is a wedding, you can come, but you'll need to buy a new hat.

MOTD, running for it might be a good idea.

Linda, your solution seems to be what everybody wants!

Unknown said...

Can't wait.. can't wait.. can't wait..this Kareena is a crafty one alright! Poor Wes

Captain Picard,
Hats are a weakness of mine, I have so many, but I'm always looking for an excuse to buy another one!
I might be studying hard for the next few days, normal blogging will be resumed again soon.

Professor Xavier said...

That Karena has spunk.

Jon the Intergalactic Gladiator said...

Ro deserves better than Wes anyway.

Jaime said...

Get a backbone, Wesley!!

Slap him, Captain, or send him to talk to Boothby. Or both.

Diane@Diane's Place said...

Hmmm...I'm old enough to be his Mama, but I'd almost fight Ro for Wesley Crusher.... ;D

Hi, Jean Luc, and thanks for the visit at my blog.

Bon Voyage!

Hugs,

Diane

Whoops! Someone needs to read tradional rules. Looking forward to reading what happens next.

November Rain said...

Hi Jean Luc to answer your question
This is my main blog
for Novy where I will be sharing pages of my books. right now I am doing the first book
the other is what it says Novy news its only updated when there is something in RL I want to share
and I always put an alert and link in my main blog :)
as for the characters that aren't novy I have only went back to writing TX, HS, Justice (which all have their own blogs) and I have 2 new characters that share Crime Alley with Vegeta's characters

Anonymous said...

and I get the privilege of sharing a blog with TX when crime alley is being used.

Jean-Luc Picard said...

Thanks, novy for sorting the characters. No more Vampi, Pantha & Black Widow?

Diane, I think you're in a minority about Wes; no one else wants him!

Jaime, Wes is like a jellyfish as regards backbones.

Ellee, you never know, in the future, you might need to get a hat.

pilgrimchick said...

Great twist here--this is a fabulous story.
