Fade in:
Lieutenant B'Lanna Torres emerges from her quarters, smiling and =
singing, holding a=20
three-word message from Tom that she had received earlier that day.
B'Lanna: I used to think maybe you loved me, now baby I'm sure=85 And I =
just can't wait=20
for the day when you knock on my door.
She proceeds down the corridors, adding the occasional dance move to her =
bouncy walk,=20
as music starts playing softly, seemingly from nowhere.
B'Lanna: Now every time I go for the mail-box gotta hold myself down=85
Curious crew members watch her progress with apprehension, and start to =
follow her as=20
she enters the turbolift.
B'Lanna: 'Cause I just can't wait 'til you write me you're comin' =
around=85
She exits and proceeds to engineering, the following crowd picking up on =
her=20
enthusiasm. The music suddenly blares out loudly, backing B'Lanna up.
She enters engineering by jumping forward and then sliding along the =
floor on her=20
knees, arms out.
B'Lanna: I'm walking on sunshine, whoa, I'm walking on sunshine, whoa, =
I'm walking on=20
sunshine, whoa, and it's time to feel good! Hey! All right, now.
The engineering crew look up in astonishment at the sight of their Chief =
Engineer=20
losing her mind. B'Lanna dances up to her station and taps in a few =
commands, still=20
keeping rhythm. Then she sets off for the bridge. The engineering crew =
join the=20
crowd following her, who have started to dance.
B'Lanna: I used to think maybe you loved me, now I know that it's true. =
(Stepping=20
into the turbolift, oblivious to the fact that it quickly fills up with =
people)=20
Bridge.=20
For some reason the turbolift goes to the wrong deck. She emerges to =
find herself in=20
the mess hall, so she jumps back into the lift. Before the doors close, =
everyone in=20
the mess hall has joined her.
B'Lanna: Bridge! And I don't wanna spend my whole life just a-waiting =
for youuu=85
She starts dancing in place, then leaps out of the turbolift as the =
doors open and=20
goes to the bridge. The crowd follows, now really getting the hang of =
things and=20
letting loose.
Janeway looks up in astonishment from her position in the Seat of Power.
Janeway: What=85
Chakotay jumps out of his seat and steps toward B'Lanna, then stops, =
confused.
B'Lanna: (dancing over to Janeway, she produces a padd from nowhere and =
hands it to=20
the captain. She then turns on her heel, still singing, and heads for =
the pilot's=20
seat, where Tom is sitting, open mouthed.) Now I don't want you back for =
the weekend,=20
not back for a day, no no no=85
She reaches over to Tom, pulls him out of his seat, and starts dancing =
with him. Tom,=20
afraid for his life, plays along. Harry starts snapping his fingers. =
Tuvok raises an=20
eyebrow at the rest of the crowd, who are dancing all over the place.
B'Lanna: I said baby, I just want you back, and I want you to stay, oh =
yeah now!
Tom starts to smile and dances with more enthusiasm.
B'Lanna and Tom: I'm walking on sunshine, whoa, I'm walking on =
sunshine, whoa, I'm=20
walking on sunshine, whoa, and it's time to feel good!
Janeway, no longer able to resist the hypnotic tune, grabs one of =
Chakotay's hands and=20
starts to swing dance with him. Chakotay doesn't know all the steps, as =
Janeway has=20
only been giving him lessons for a week, but he tries to keep up.
B'Lanna and Tom: Hey! All right now! And it's time to feel good!
The doctor rushes onto the bridge, his holo-emitter on his arm.
Doc: What's going on? I thought I heard music, and someone said =
"Medical emergency"=20
and=85
He cuts himself off when Seven comes up to him.
Seven: I wish to join in this illogical custom.
She takes Doc's arm and they dance. Harry is dancing with one of the =
DeLaney twins. =20
Neelix is dancing with the other.
Tuvok struggles not to raise his other eyebrow (this would convey =
unsuitable amounts=20
of surprise), and discovers, to his horror, that he feels left out. A =
young never-
seen-before-ensign in a security uniform approaches him.
Ensign Irrelevant: Sir? May I?
Tuvok finds himself dancing with abandon.=20
All: And it's time to feel good.
Everyone starts clapping as they dance.
All: Walking on sunshine=85 Walking on sunshine=85 I feel alive, I feel =
alive, I feel the=20
love, it's really real=85
Nobody notices as Tom leads B'Lanna to the turbolift.
All (except T&B): I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it, I'll say it =
again now=85 and=20
it's time to feel good=85
Once again, nobody notices as Janeway and Chakotay retire to the =
Captain's ready room.
All (everyone left, that is): Oh yeah now=85 time to feel good=85
A soft giggle is heard. Camera focuses on a corner where, curiously, no =
one is=20
dancing. Camera zooms in on a familiar humanoid figure bouncing a small =
child on his=20
knee.
Q: See, Q? Mortals are such silly creatures.=20
Fade out.
