An hour after throwing Lieutenant Jones out of his ready room, Captain Picard finally came off the ceiling and started to think clearly. The pesky officer actually didn't commit a crime big enough to deserve a transfer from the ship - not that transfers occurred because of the lack of merit at all, but he did mean it as a punishment this time. He was thinking about making her atone for the insubordination she displayed by letting her believe for a few more hours that she actually would have to leave the ship. But then again, his conscience intervened: she was actually not insubordinate, she was just utterly impudent. Not to mention the fact that she managed to find the one spot that made him breathe fire with rage in a single instant - and she kept pressing that very spot!
He sighed bemused. He knew he should talk to her and make her aware that the kind of behaviour she displayed was not tolerable, and would not be tolerated in the future - at least as long as she was assigned to this very ship, under his command. So he finally made himself get up from his couch, lazily walked out of his ready room and went straight to Deck 8.
When he got no answer to the door chime at her quarters, he frowned feeling his previous anger steadily returning. "Computer! Locate Lieutenant Jones."
"Please specify! Which Lieutenant Jones are you referring to?"
"There are more of them... I don't even want to begin to think about what this ship would be like, if there were more of that woman on board..." he grumbled moodily.
"Unable to process inquiry or request."
The Captain grimaced "What's her name?" he muttered "Beverly talked about her so much - how did I forget?... Anyway, locate Medical Officer Lieutenant Jones, and when you're at it, give me her name."
"Lieutenant Jones is on holodeck three. First name Emma, last name Jones, birth name Emma Stern." the computer answered meticulously.
The Captain shook his head in disbelief. On the holodeck! She's confined to quarters, and what's the first thing she does? Commit another insubordination by going for some leisure activity... This WAS beyond mere impudence! This time she disobeyed a direct order from her superior!
He marched to the nearest turbolift all the while fuming, his anger just grew with every step he took! He decided to revise his previous revision of his punishment to her! She won't get away with this one! He had no reason to be lenient, if she plainly considered herself to be above the rules! Of course, with Admiral Stern as her father - he recognized the name immediately when the computer gave it to him - it was plain that she was used to having the leisure to do as she pleased! Now he would teach her otherwise!
He went straight to the holodeck. When he stepped out of the lift, he was surprised to find one of the holodeck doors open, and people going in with delightful smiles on their faces. He frowned confused and peeping inside, it finally dawned on him: of course! Beverly's play! How could he forget it?!
"Captain!" he heard a familiar female voice from behind him, and he turned as if waken from a dream.
"Counsellor!"
Deanna walked up to him with a broad smile "I'm glad you could come!" she told him cheerfully.
After a moment of hesitation, he gave her a tight smile "I wouldn't have missed it for anything." he told her on a low voice - knowing exactly that she could feel he was not entirely sincere given the fact that he had almost forgotten about it...
Deanna let it go and motioned for them to go in. "Do you know where we are supposed to sit?" she asked as they stepped inside and instead of a customary house they found small, round tables with chairs around them - as if they were in a vintage Club. But it was all black and white!
A holo-waitress stepped up to them smiling politely - she was black and white as well: "Good evening, Ma'am and Sir! This way please!" she gestured and showed the surprised couple to a table near the stage.
"This is going to be awesome! I've never seen anything like this before!" Deanna looked around amused as they sat down. As if they were inside some centuries old movie! "This really will be something unique as Beverly promised!"
"I suppose so, Counsellor..." the Captain nodded after a moment of silence. Deanna thought about asking him why he felt so angry and timid, almost embarrassed at the same time, but she thought better of it and didn't press on for more conversation.
