Emma walked into Ten Forward, and if she wanted to be honest with herself, she felt horrible. The look on Data's face as they said goodbye was just... The word deadpan couldn't even begin to describe it. She knew he closed up again, just the way he was when she first met him. He had been sooo confused, he clang to her in the lift as if never wanting to let her go. And she did want to hold him close! But it was just too much, too quickly... 'Sometimes it happens this way.' she heard his character's voice in her head. Yes, sometimes it did, but the timing couldn't have been worse. Ah, I just confused him.
She looked around in the crowded room. Bev was nowhere to be seen. Her friends, on the other hand, were sitting in the corner. There was the therapist, Deanna, her love-interest, the guy with the beard, but she just couldn't think of his name right at the moment, and the blind engineer guy. She sighed. Second best option. She walked up to them and felt the familiar tightness in her stomach when faced with strangers. She got to their table, and the conversation stopped and they looked up at her.
"Hi, Emma!" Deanna greeted her smiling - sensing her timidity.
"Hello. Sorry to disturb you but..."
"Not at all!" Will Riker grinned at her and pulled a chair out for her "Please, have a seat!"
Deanna was surprised to sense a moment of resentment and even terror coming from Emma at Will's overwhelming invitation. Outwardly, she remained calm and polite though: "No, thank you. Counsellor, could I have a word with you? In private."
Deanna knew she couldn't send her away, not even if she was as tired as she was that day. In fact, she hadn't even wanted to come to Ten Forward that evening, just wanted to go to bed early. It seemed all her plans were crushing tonight.
"Sure, Emma." she answered and stood up.
"Thank you!"
They walked away toward the entrance, and Will couldn't help himself to check out Emma's curves from behind.
"Not bad." he grunted leaning towards Geordi.
"Hmm..." the engineer nodded then gave a small grin to Will "Didn't Doctor Crusher say something about her friend being married?"
Will shrugged slightly and turned up his palms innocently: "And why should I be aware of that? Is it written on her uniform front?"
Geordi chuckled "Not that I could see... However, I'm sure it IS written in her records."
"Whoa, you're taking me for a stalker? Do you think the right thing to do when meeting an attractive woman is to check her records out?" Will asked in mock-disbelief then laughed softly "If this is how you conduct your lady-affairs, I'm not surprised that you're still single!" he teased him insolently.
"Ah, pot calls the kettle black! You are single too! And no, being very-very 'special friends' with Counsellor Troi does NOT count!"
"Maybe it does not count, but it's sure as hell more fun than being 'special friends' with... no one." Will finished his sentence with the more polite version from the two he could think of - the other one being 'your hand'. He took a sip of his drink to stifle his grin.
Geordi just shook his head in frustration, while Beverly entered and walked up to them smiling.
"Hi!" she greeted them, sitting next to them, where Deanna had sat before.
"Hi, your little friend was here." Will told her with a curious expression "And stole Deanna for a chat."
"Oh?"
"Seems she doesn't have many friends around. Maybe you should introduce us to her, so she could broaden her circle of acquaintances." Will added grinning.
Bev looked at him with suspicion on her features "And how come that I question your motifs behind this suggestion?" she asked in mock-confusion.
"No clue." Will shrugged innocently taking another sip, and Beverly laughed at his insolence.
"Take it easy, Commander. You aren't her type." she waved.
"Oh, yeah? And just who exactly is her type then?" Will asked on a mock-hurt voice.
"Well..." she smiled mysteriously - maybe she shouldn't say this... but come on, this whole was so harmless "I think her type is rather someone with a pale face and yellow eyes."
The two guys gaped. "Data?" Geordi and Will asked in union totally incredulously "You mean they are seeing each other?" Geordi asked. It WAS beyond belief - and come on! that would mean that even Data could get a girlfriend sooner than he could! He was clumsy with girls, but Data was just hopeless! With or without chip! And yet...
Bev shook her head: "Mmm, no, no I don't think so. But... But there is something. You should see them dancing together. They just click."
"That's all?" Will gaped at her then chuckled and tried to look very serious at her "Well, Doctor. You ARE right. That's one hell of an intimate relationship. I really should be discouraged."
"Ah, you should see them..." she waved in frustration "Forget it! I was silly to bring it up..."
After another good hour of chatting, Geordi's combadge went off: "Data to La Forge."
They all looked at each other surprised. It was still early, he couldn't have been on duty, so it was nothing official. And he hadn't talked to Geordi or anybody apart from Beverly for over a month now.
Geordi pressed his badge: "La Forge here." he said on a slightly lower voice than he intended.
"Geordi, could I see you in my quarters?" Data's voice seemed a bit shaken, and it sent a chill up Chief Engineer's spine.
"Sure, on my way." he replied and closed the comlink. They looked at each other for a moment longer, but none of them could think of anything to say "I check him out." Geordi stood up and left.
