SD 6-8-02 - "Here Comes the Bride" #2 - I don't believe this ...
The ship is still a mess, my room is a shambles ...
And the Inspector's child thinks I'm courting his mom!
Things went more or less calm enough after the wedding. K'Lynxyl loaned her quarters to newlywed Counselor Azzura Brinks and Chief Engineer Demian Tempres. I tried looking for another room for her, but the computer was on the fritz. So were the replicators as I tried getting a new iniform, and was given womens' dresses. After a few giggles, she insisted we go ahead and have the "tea date." After checking all was proceeding with repairs, we went on to my quarters, and found it a mess. The Melinian grenade plant in my room had gone off. The blossoms explode if not picked soon enough, and with the time warp, too soon came all too quickly. We began cleaning up the place, and after a few mishaps with the replicator, finaly made some beef for her kids.
They certainy acted quite hungry, practically tearing into it.
Then came a message from Starfleet. Some of the crew, including a few of the bridge officers, have been promoted. I sent a note on their answering machines to drop by when they had a free moment. It wasn't long before two came, Azzura and Demian. Guess one could call it a timely wedding present of sorts, each promoted to full Lieutenant. K'Lynxyl invited them to join us, but then things turned awkward. Azzura made a comment that I was "being hunted" by K'Lynxyl, to the surprise of both of us. Demian's "death threat" joke as K'Lynxyl called it didn't help. And then out of the blue, one of her kids grabs my leg and asks, "You're going to be my new Daddy?"
This has got to be the result of some overactive imaginations. Yes, K'Lynxyl admitted she thought I was "attractive" (though I'm not certain why my apperance would be appealing to a Caitian), but Azzura has got to be exxagerating the seriousness of such thoughts. And the kid must've taken what was spoken quite literally.
(sigh) One day of sanity. All I ask for is one day of sanity ...
