The Promenade had certainly been busier, but it wasn’t exactly empty enough that chasing anyone between the stalls and shops was easy. That didn’t mean Liz wasn’t going to do it. It just meant that it was a pain in the ass. Something she planned on taking into account when she got her hands on the bastard who thought he could rip her off. The last thing she needed was anyone at Quark’s getting the idea that she was an easy mark or that there weren’t consequences if your hands got sticky around her. 

Liz sprinted past Garak’s shop and dodged around a jewellery vendor. It was just bad luck that Morn was coming the other way. Cursing loudly to get out of the way, she managed to sidestep him. The glance back over her shoulder, however, was bad timing. 

She’d made it a whole four strides from the Lurian before colliding, full force, into what she had to assume was a brick wall. 

“You know, I don’t think we ever played together.” Giving the violin a small tap, Will looked up with a smile. “Why is that?”

13. how do you feel right now?

33. something you want to learn

(From here, accepting!)

5. is there anyone who can always make you smile?

(Two people!! My bff- who is visiting soon!!!!- and my little sister. Both managed to make me smile on the worst days of my life. I love them both so much!! Also my little sister was born the day after my second birthday. I like to say she’s the best birthday gift I’ve ever gotten. And in addition to that, I have a growth hormone deficiency that I didn’t get treatment for until I was 2. So, that put me 2 years behind in terms of my emotional/mental/physical development.

So my little sister and I were at the same stages developmentally growing up. I’d never change that about myself. I think it made us closer!

I also just really fucking love my bff. She’s the best.)

13. how do you feel right now?

(Tired mostly. A bit anxious because I have a meeting with my boss today and I don’t know why. HaHAAAAAA I hate the wait!)

    “ Oh Data .. it’s good to have you back. ” She could barely believe it even now that he stood right in front of her again. She had to try keep the tears at bay for a moment, overwhelmed by the sheer HAPPINESS to have an old friend back. She couldn’t break down crying now, not even out of joy. She had so much to talk about with her friend, so much she wanted to say. There was one thing however that she definitely wanted to do first though. “ There is someone I’d like you to MEET. I think you could say that Will and I made a few big decisions while you were away. ” She gestured for him to wait right here in the main living room, disappearing behind a door for a second. When she returned she was far more careful about her movements, cradling something in her arms, close to her chest.

The xBs chose to stay on Coppelius, so Hugh chose to stay with them. He couldn’t leave them there alone, and he couldn’t help but think of what Lore had done to him and so many of the newly liberated xBs all those years ago… These synthetics were not the same as Lore had been, but some of them thought the way he did, stopped at the last minute by Soji’s change of heart.

He understood what Soji had done, and why the other synthetics who were still on the planet had done, but it made him cautious. The xBs that had survived on the Artifact were still adjusting to existence, had had suffered yet another trauma when the Romulans had turned on them and their ship had crashed on this planet. He needed to protect them, and to do that, he needed to be in communication with the other inhabitants of this planet.

Besides, before La Sirena had left, he’d been told that an old friend had been brought back in a new body, and that he was with the other synthetics now. Hugh had never known Data well, but he knew enough to believe that he would make a good point of contact.

He approached the settlement on foot, squinting against the sunlight. He wondered if he’d ever really get used to natural light. Maybe if he stayed here long enough, he would have to. Near the entrance of the settlement, there were two identical synthetics standing guard, gleaming in that sunlight as if they were made from it.

“I want to know more about you.”

“You do?”

Tasha breathed a laugh and pushed her hand over her hair. She could never predict what Data might say. Sometimes he had a way of getting to the point that she found both admirable and terrifying... sometimes he was just testing out a new conversational subroutine. There was no way of knowing.

oh no!!! wtf? can they fix it??
