[open]This that and the other thing

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

"We don't want any." La'Mara said as she put her head back down, her eyes moving to look out the window. Man there was a lot of black out there! The stars did shine like diamonds though. Pretty. Pretty. Pretty.

La'Mara stretched out her body. Hands high above her head, and toes pointed, stretching downward. "Ahhh..." No harm in getting comfortable, right?

[Xena]

"We don't want any."

Xena walked in the door looking stupefied. "What?" Xena questioned in utter confusion. Her face continued to turn into a twisted perplexed look. Why was Captain Tiho laying down on the sofa? Why didn't she use her room for napping. Xena blinked her eyes, as she put a hand to the side of her head. This was a strange day. "You're gonna get the sofa dirty." Xena insisted. What? Get the sofa dirty? Where did that come from?

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

"I'm so not gonna get it dirty!" La'Mara replied as she sat up slowly. "And if you're so worried about dirt then take off your boots." La'Mara pointed to Xena's feet. "You went down to the planet." She then stuck her tongue out at the assistant chief of security.

"Now what do ya want?" La'Mara's eyes then widened. "Oh! Can I do your hair, pleeeassseeeeeee?!?!!" The captain hopped to her feet, jumping up and down eagerly.

[Commander Christian Hughes]

Christian walked in, just having taken some leave. He, one of few aboard the Orion, had not eaten the fruits. He had not trusted its exotic appearance, instead sticking to familiar earth foods grown in hydroponics. As he had taken a nap, wondering why there was so much noise in the corridors (where, as it turned out, two operations officers had been playing tag... if only Chris had known!) and went straight for the turbolift to the Bridge when his shift came up again, he hadn't actually noticed anything yet and was blissfully unaware of the childish behaviour running rampant on board.

Everything didn't quite appear normal to Chris when he saw nobody on the Bridge. He thought that odd, as it was La'Mara's shift and there wasn't anybody in the Captain's chair. "Computer," he said. "Where the hell is the Captain?"
"Invalid Command."
"Oh, bother. Computer, locate Captain Tiho."
"Captain Tiho is in the Ready Room."

Okay, so I'd better report to her, I guess. Without thinking, he entered the Ready Room, and there just saw La'Mara lying on the sofa asking in girlish fashion if she could do Xena's hair. The look on the Assistant Security Chief's face sort of suggested that she didn't understand ought of it. Chris looked at the scene, perplexed, then politely saluted the Captain, acknowledging Xena.

He thought for a while. To blurt out what he wished to say was a serious breach of protocol, but then asking childishly to do a junior officer's hair wasn't normally what was expected of a Starfleet Captain. "Ma'am," he started politely. "If you forgive me the expression... what the hell is going on?"

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

As La'Mara was waiting an answer from Xena about doing her beautiful black hair, in walked Christian Hughes. He looked confused...perplexed...or something... "Hi Chrissy!" La'Mara said in happy greeting, with a wave of her hand. "What's up? We were just going to play beauty parlor, wanna play?"

Then...

"If you forgive me the expression... what the hell is going on?"

La'Mara's eyes widened and her jaw dropped, and so did Xena's. "Awwww..."

Xena was still looking at Christian. "You said the 'H' word! You're gonna be in trouble!" After saying that Xena burst out giggling. La'Mara joined in with the giggling. "Take 'em to the brig!" La'Mara exclaimed dramatically; pointing to the door.

Xena rubbed a boot up and down behind her leg like she was scratching it. "No. Force fields scare me. I think I'll just tell his mommy."

(OOC: Because I'm tired & a bit lazy right now I typed Xena and La'Mara in one post. And I can do that cuz Xena is also my char. )

[Commander Christian Hughes]

"I'm sorry," said Chris, sounding shaken but stifling a frown. He definitely did not want to fight with Xena. But just then, she admitted to be scared of force fields. What was going on? He was almost going to say aloud what he thought, but he refrained and thought it anyway: what is this, a joke?

Joke? Wait a minute, maybe this was all a way to drive him mad, maybe he was at the centre of things? He knew only of one person capable of such deception, so he touched his commbadge. // "Shawn, this is Commander Hughes," // he said, contacting the ship's resident prankster. // "Say, have you been playing any pranks with the environmental control systems lately? Everybody is acting, well..." //

He remembered that he was still in a room with a very childish, unfamiliarly cross Captain Tiho and Xena who, though she may be acting weird, was still as strong as he was, or stronger, quite possibly. So he stopped talking right there, hoping Shawn had got him, and paced backwards sneakily towards the door. "I'll go and apologise to my mother then," he made an excuse, with a faint smile he couldn't help.

[Shawn O'Conner]

//"Uh...well..." Shawn paused. "Why?"//

[Xena]

"Okay." With Christian going to say sorry to his mommy Xena decided she could stay. She walked over to the sofa, where La'Mara was and pulled off her boots, tossing them to the other side of the room. She then sat, taking her hair down. "You can do my hair now, if you still want to."

She had totally slipped into child mode now. "When were done maybe you can find Christian and play house." Xena teased La'Mara a bit. That whole awkwardness thing that happened when they had come back from the holodeck had made its way all through the ship.

While he was walking for the door, Christian was talking with Shawn. // "Well, you've been known to play pranks on this ship, so the first person I thought of is you, // he said. // "Think of it as a compliment." //.

In the meantime, he was through the door to the bridge.

End Christian- Move to Bridge

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

"You can do my hair now, if you still want to."

This was a treat. Xena's beautiful, thick, black hair fell down her back. La'Mara sat on her knees and began separating it into three rows. Her hair was soft and silky to the touch; kinda like Calena's. Calena was the daughter of the host Suharrah; the teacher.

"Your hair reminds me of my little girls." La'Mara told Xena as she started to toss the rows of black hair across one another. "But it so don't smell the same!" La'Mara giggled.

"When were done maybe you can find Christian and play house."

She stopped. "What is that suppose to mean?!"

[Xena]

"It means you like him!" Xena teased, darting forward, not allowing for the braid to be finished. She turned and faced La'Mara. "Everyone so totally knows you like him!" Xena laughed and got up from the sofa.

She went over to the replicator and replicated a lace white table cloth and some flowers. Xena handed La'Mara the flowers then tossed the white table cloth over her captains' head. "Dum dum dah dum..." Xena 'sang' the wedding march. She took La'Mara by the arm and dragged her out onto the bridge.

[Captain La'Mara Tiho]

"Do not! He is just a friend!" La'Mara stated. Though personally the statement was not one hundred percent true. Christian was not 'just a friend'. She might have reverted to a child-like state of mind, with child-like actions, and speech, but her feelings were still the same.

La'Mara tried to get out of the bridal veil (made from lace table cloth) Xena had tossed on her; almost like the hologram had tossed the fabric on her when she and Christian had their venture in ancient Greece.

"Let go!" La'Mara struggled against Xenas' grip, but no success at getting loose. This girl was strong!
