{Earth Spacedock }

It felt good to take a walk around the base.
The Norris had made it to Earth this time. That last mission had been really difficult, bringing back memories she had thought she had suppressed.

Lost in thoughts as she walked, she looked up and found herself at a bar. "What do you say to drinks and gagh buddy?" she asked Vaytoc. He purred at the idea of gagh.

Taking a table she ordered for herself and Vaytoc, then when the food came out, she put a bowl of gagh on the floor under the table for him to enjoy.

A klingon captain came up and took the set across from her. He grinned. "Can't have you drinking by yourself,"

Mira's eyes lit up with mischief "No we wouldn't want that."

Somehow, and she would admit things had gotten fuzzy, Mira found herself in a drinking contest. It was for ships' honor, and she wouldn't let him say her ship had no honor because of her losing at drinking!

The table was covered in empty glasses, and Mira was certain she would have to contact Lt Kronnelti about getting her safely back to the ship. She wasn't going to make it on her own...... oh, Sickbay might be a better place to go because the room was getting dark........

"Oh good, you're coming to. I wasn't sure what to do with you if you didn't."

Struggling to open her eyes, she felt someone carrying her. Who? What?

Finally, opening her eyes, she was very surprised to find out she was being carried by a tall human male. "Where are you taking me?"

He grinned. " I am not sure yet. if you had one place you would like to go, where would you like to go. if you could pick any place at all?"

Saying the first place that popped into her inebriated brain "Risa" came out.

He nodded, seemingly pleased with the idea. "Then that's where we will go."

That sounded fun, she thought, closing her eyes to rest, but then snapped them open again. What was she thinking? ....." no wait I have to go back to my ship. I can't go with you."

He frowned "fine we will go to your ship first."

Mira gasped they were standing on deck one of the USS Chuck Norris. ok, she drank way more than she should have.
"How?" she wispered.

He put her back on her feet but held her arm, keeping her standing up.

"Do you always wear that uniform?" he asked

Still in a confused, drunk state. Mira said, "Yes."

He frowned, then snapped his fingers with a grin.

" I am not an Orion slave girl," Mira told him indignantly, trying to get a handle on what was going on. Oh, she didn't like the way he was eyeing her now. That was he thinking?

A slow smile formed on his way too handsome face. "Do your spots run in a pattern all over your body?" he seemed very surprised and interested in her answer.

Blinking at the question, she found herself in her birthday suit and yelled "no just no!"

"Fine, but this uniform is the one we are going with," The crazy man told her.

Looking down, Mira found herself in the original starfleet uniform used around the time of James T Kirk. She tugged on the length or the lack of it. It showed way too much of her legs for her liking, but she did have clothes on.

" This is your ship?" he asked, looking around with interest. At her nod, he shook his head. "To small for my needs. I know, " he snapped his fingers "There that's better."

They were now standing in the original enterprise, or at least it looked like it.

Blinking a few times, she grinned up at him. " I get it now. We are in the holodeck." He shook his head no. Now she really looked around this time, but she relaxed again. " I hit my head, and this is a hallucination?"

He laughed at her, then bopping her nose with his finger saying "so cute." He rubbed both hands together in glee. " We are going to have to have some rules. One, you can't tell anyone who I am."

Mira narrowed her eyes. " I don't know who you are other than a figment of my imagination . " she sighed. "I need a Raktajino. "
One appeared in her hand.

He laughed at the look on her face, "Priceless! Is all that whiskey finely clearing your mind.?"

Mira's mouth opened a few times to speak, then said, "Q?" Oh, what had she down?

He nodded. "Now for the rules of this game." He tapped his chin thinking about it. "By now, your crew is wondering what happened to their uniforms and ship. But you can't tell them! ok, ok, I'll let you tell one person, but they only get one guess. if they get it wrong, they go in the penalty box for a time out. " He nodded at that rule and then said," I'll make up the rest as we go."

Mira's eyes widened as he disappeared.

She touched the wall. It was really there, well crap! She had to find the captain. Meeting him in the hallway heading to the bridge She blurted out. "I am so sorry, Sir!" Then told him what she could remember on her evening. Ending with.
"Bad guy with one letter of the human alphabet as his name."

The Captain raised one eyebrow and said, "Q?"

There was a ding ding ding and "We have a winner"

Q appears, with his arms around the Captain's and her neck like they were old friends. "This is going to be so much fun. Let's take the kids out on a vacation!"
