Ensign Mary Anne Summers was in the science lab with a few techs an another medic. It happened to be right after lunch too. As they were starting to finish up research they stopped and started making their own projects.
One person had replicated a bun of metal thingamabobs with holes, nuts and bolt and a tiny wrench. He assembled something that made a silver ball travel along then get launched. Now the whole group was doing a project together: a volcano.
Paper, paste, paint, backing soda... all big mess! And so were the child officers. But the more the merrier!

Previously, in the cargo bay, the youngest of the O' Conner family had been experimenting yet again with the artificial gravity. While there he also took the time to lay out a prank in one of the containers for an unsuspecting soul to find. Now, now he was getting away using the jeffries tubes. Right now it was best to keep out of sight. As he crawled the young boy pondered something.
Why was no adult out to get him yet? Usually Xena, Sharpay, or Mishtak would have been trailing him long before now. Maybe they were all in the bathroom? Shrugging Shawn finally came to a hatch. It was the hatch to the science lab.
Crawling around in these tubes a lot, one gets to know them very well. Shawn opened it a crack first to see who was inside. To his amazement it was a few officers making mechanical toys, and a big messy volcano. What the heck was going on?! For a minute Shawn debated if it was a good idea to go in or not, but he just had to know why everyone was acting so strangely, so out he came.
"Hello everyone!"

"Hello everyone!"
Mary Anne quickly turned her head to see who was there. She swallowed nervously. "We weren't doing anything." She said innocently as she moved to stand in front of the volcano, hastily hiding her hands behind her back. "What are you doing here?"
She was acting like a guilty school girl who was trying to hide something from the teacher. Suddenly there was a big eruption! The 'lava' shot out into the air; the contents falling down onto everyone near. Apparently they had put way too much stuff inside. "In case you were wondering that was...uh...Hmm..."

Ensign Summers was acting sort of like he did around his parents when he had pulled something. It was extremely hilarous! Oh if only he had a holoimager with him at the moment. When the volcano blew Shawn just laughed. Oh this was good!
Just then a comm came over the lines for him. Commander Hughes? Wait. That never happened! Maybe the crew; specifically Xena, was getting back at him for what he had done. If so it was most different and unsuspected.
"Uh...well..." Shawn paused. "Why?"
He had messed around in the cargo bay. The gravity.

Well, that was a relief! At least he was not in trouble, or at least not yet. Yet being as always the key word. But how could Commander Hughes believe Shawn could have influence over the entire ship?! Sure he was good, but not that good! However, it didn't hurt that someone thought that he was. For a few minutes Shawn took to watching the officers again, but the said good bye and decided to transport himself to Commander Hughes location. Maybe he could help.
End Shawn - Move to wherever Christian is!

Not wanting to be found, Antin was looking for a place to hide. He heard footsteps. The big people are coming his way. He did not want them to find him. He did not mean to break the glasses in that bar. Oh, he saw a door open, he ran in.
He saw more big people. “Oh no!” he said, looking pale. They had uniforms. But blue ones. He was not sure if they are the nice or the meanies. He gave his best innocent smile, did a small wave and shifted his feet.
“Hi!” he said. He heard the door closed behind him. He was relieved. He saw all the cool stuff in the room. It looked like the bar he was at. He figured his mom and dad left him there. He could not remember why? He just knew he was in all lot of trouble.
“Is that a Volcano?”

Uh oh. I'm in...trouble? Why did Commander Hughes contact Shawn? And why did Shawn decide to transport out? Both made Mary Anne very nervous. Had Shawn decided to go and see Commander Hughes? "I hope he doesn't tattle." Mary Anne muttered as she wiped some 'lava' off the side of her face. And as she did that she heard someone come into the room.
“Hi!” “Is that a Volcano?”
Mary Anne turned around to face the new arrival. "Uh," Her brow eyes darted to the volcano then back again. "No?" She questioned in whisper form. "Why do you ask?" She inquired speaking normally. Everything just said; Guilty. Guilty. Guilty.

"Uh,"
Was she nervous because the other adults. She better not want to kiss him. Girls like that. Yuck! She could be hiding the Volcano from them. She must be playing a game. He liked games and he wanted play along.
No?
“Yes!” Wait, he almost forgot he was playing along. “No, you are right that is NOT a volcano,” he replied. Looking at the others. “It’s a ..er…er…” he was rubbing the back of his head.
Why do you ask?
She changed the topic. Girls are strange. “Er, because I did,” he answered. “Why are you asking me why?” he asked in return. He could not let a girl beat him in this game. No way. Girls are stupid anyways…well except his mom. He stomped his left foot and crossed his arms.

This was a very strange person. One minute he had said 'yes', per her questioning 'no', then he agreed that what had been made was not a volcano. Well, he couldn't be blind, even if he was he'd still be able to see. And why does anyone ever ask a person the question 'why'?
"So I can know the reason you asked. Duh!" Mary Anne said as she folded her arms across her chest. Why did boys always have to be so dense? She questioned in thought. Surfer boys she could understand. She was also a surfer. They had a stereotypical rep to uphold on the beach.
Mary Anne then mimicked his foot stomping. "Anything you can do I can do better!"

Mary Anne thought she was better then Antin. Well, he was not letting a girl beat him. He stomped his foot again. “I bet you can’t!” He had to challenge her. He could not allow her to best him. “Boys are better than girls…And I will prove it!”
Looking around for something to challenge her, Antin eyed the test vials on the counter. He was smiling as an idea came to mind. He walked across the room, grabbed one of the filled vials and he placed it on his head. “Do you think you can balance this on your head long as I can?” The vial was on his head and his hands out to the side. “One…Two…Three…Four…Five….Six…” and so on.

Was he serious? "I so can!" Mary Anne stomped her foot as he did, yet once more. "Loser. Whatever. Fly away forever." Mary Anne said in reply to his comment about boys being better than girls. She had even used the hand signals when she said that. Finger and thumb to make an L on the forehead. Both thumbs together to make a W. Interlocking the thumbs to make a butterfly to 'fly away forever'.
Mary Anne watched him as he came back with a challenge. She laughed. What, with her balance, and daring do-dads so could way easily do that with the vile and better. Taking a vile, Mary Anne place it on her head. As she balanced it, she spun in a circle, then softly jumped up on top of a science station; all the while keeping the vile steady on her head. She then sang the next verse of the song: "I can do anything better than you!"
Mary Anne the stuck her tongue out at Antin.

So, she had talent. He sang back and he was a good singer. “I caaaaan sing better,” he sang. She egged him. He jumped up and down the glass vial fell and shattered on the ground. The fluid was eating the floor. It was making a sizzling sound. He watched it. “What…What is that?” It did not look good. He got down on the floor on all fours. He sat down, Indian style. Looking at the fluid, he leaned to look closer. Holding his finger to it, but, not touching it. Will it eat his finger?

“I caaaaan sing better,”
"No you caaaaan't!" Mary Anne sang back. So far it seemed to be an even tie. Well, at least until he dropped the vile. Mary Anne's brown eyes widened as she saw, and watched what the liquid did. She jumped down and took the vile from her head and put it on the table. She walked over and squatted down, watching. "Um..."
"I know!" Mary Anne exclaimed. She got up and went over to the replicator in the lab and replicated a rug. She then dragged it back and held it up. It was a blue color with fringe. "No one will ever know." She stated as she lay the rug atop the spill. She then held out a hand to Antin; now would be a good time to scram. "I think we should go now. How about the holodeck?"
