Story Written January 1, 2002

Personal Log – Deanna Troi

 

I said once that RO Laren was a force to be reckoned with in any state – preteen is not what I had in mind!

 

Captain Picard, Ensign RO, Keiko O’Brien and Guinan all beamed aboard Enterprise off a disintegrating shuttle and arrived as twelve year olds! All memories intact. Adults in a child’s body.

 

I didn’t know if to laugh or cry. After all it was a second childhood without the pain of growing up again. Guinan as expected took it in her stride. Laren as expected was not.  But with a twelve-year-old Captain on my hands and the Ferengie taking control of the ship I needed to prioritize.

 

There were so many possibilities opened to the Captain assuming of course that his present situation could not be reversed.

 

Of the four I was most worried about the O’Brien family. Of the four Keiko is married with a three-year-old daughter, Molly. How do you prepared for this?  Mentally Keiko was a compatible with her husband but physically?   She was in the body of a twelve year old with the desires and knowledge of a married woman. Truly a version of hell. There had to be a way to correct the situation!

 

There is always the silver lining in the dark cloud and I cannot help but observed how cute they were as children.

 

Will later regaled me of how the Ferengie underestimated the “children” on board.  I almost chocked on my Samarian Sunset as Will painted a picture of his “son” Jean Luc begging daddy to turn on the computers at school so that they could play games.

 

Oh they played games all right. By the time it was over the children real and not so real had succeeded where we adults failed.

 

It had been a shock but in the end the four were returned to their proper physical age. But the O’Brien’s may need monitoring.

 

Well … I’m off to tease will about his five minutes as dad!
