[starfleet_brat]

I wanna go somewhere with my daddy! Pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaassssssseeeeeeeeeee?

Or Uncle Jim! Uncle Jim would be fun t'see! Or Scotty, he can show me the engines!

[No he can't Jo.]

Awww.... But why not? It's so boring in your headspace. The grown up me gets to have ALL the fun...

I guess it must be pretty hard to find a good place for someone your age. What does your mundane think about it?

[starfleet_brat]

It's not thaaaaaaaat tough. It's jus' gotta be somewhere my daddy is at! And that's already real hard.

And she says she don't have much... much... Um, canon evidence to back me up. Even though daddy mentioned me in a cartoon episode.

[thneed_ler]

Hmm. Well, look at the bright side! That probably just means you have a whole lot of freedom to act how you want, right?

The way I see it, all you've gotta do is keep trying. And eventually you'll get there. [Optimistic nod goes here.]

[starfleet_brat]

Daddy'd get really mad if I acted how I wanted. Then he wouldn't let me see th'Enterprise when he comes to see me for Shore Leave.

[Jo likes you already.]

I'll find someplace, yeah!

[thneed_ler]

Well, you just gotta prove you can be trusted! It shouldn't be too hard.

Good luck, by the way!

[starfleet_brat]

A'course I can be trusted.

[Big smile.]

Thanks!

....Jo?

[starfleet_brat]

Uncle Jim!

[Run! Jump! Cling!]

[enterprising_young_man]

[He is surprised by the child but he hugs her, a smiling blooming on his face]

Hey... long time no see, Jo. How you been?

[starfleet_brat]

[Nuzzling against him happily.]

I'm okay! How are you? And how's the Enterprise??

[enterprising_young_man]

Well it WAS fine last I looked... ah where are we exactly?

[starfleet_brat]

We're in kind of a...

[One of the smart muses in her muns headspace explained it once but it was complicated.]

It's a diff'rent dimension or somethin'.

[enterprising_young_man]

...Jo who's with you?

[starfleet_brat]

An older me. Aaaaaaand this really smart lady from Earth a couple hundred years ago.
