“Riker to away team.”
“Away team here.” Worf answered.
“Captain Picard just contacted me; he is at the town’s library.”
“Understood. We will be heading there now. Worf out.”
The away team was already at the town. The saw the ponies going by and doing their regular routines.
“Peaceful.” O’Brien said.
“Quite.” Data added.
“Let’s get this over with.” Worf said, he looked around and saw an earth pony with brown mane, brown coat and an hourglass cutie mark. He grabbed him. “You! Where is this town’s library?”
“I-I-I…” The pony was visibly scared.
“WHERE?”
“Down the road! It’s the tree with a door and windows!!! Just don’t hurt me!!!”
Worf let the pony go and proceeded to the tree, the others followed. Data stopped beside the earth pony.
“Forgive my friend. The trip was long and he is quite stressed.” The brown pony nodded, and Data followed the other.
“You didn’t have to do that Worf, you scared the poor thing.” Beverly said, walking aside Worf.
“I just want to go back to my old body as fast as possible.”
The four equines were now in front of the tree. Data was intrigued by the fact that there was foliage, despiste the tree’s interior being hollow.
O’Brien knocked three times. The door opened to reveal a rainbow manned pegasus.
“Yeah?”
“Hi. My name is O’Brien and my friends and I are looking for someone named Picard.”
“Oh! Ok!” She got her head inside the building “PICARD! THERE ARE SOMEPONIES HERE WHO SAY THEY KNOW YOU!”
“New ponies?” A pink ball of fur appear in front of O’Brien, she looked at them and gasped soundly.
“Ohmygoshohmygoshohmygosh!!! 5 new ponies on a single day? No, wait. 4 ponies and a ZEBRA??? This is the best day ever!! I am going to throw a party for all of you!!! I can go to Zecora’s and get some zebra delicacies! Make special cupcakes, tea, punch, muffins…”
“That is enough, thanks Pinkie” Said a lavender unicorn. Pushing the pink energy ball aside. “C’mon in. He is waiting for you all.” She looked at Worf. “A zebra. Zecora will like this.”
They were now inside the library, Beverly was immediately attracted to the baby dragon.
“How cute!” She said.
“Thanks.” He said, blushing slightly.
“It can talk! Amazing!” She started to scan the dragon with her tricorder.
“Oh my!” Worf looked at the source of the voice; the white unicorn’s eyes were glowing. “What is your name dear?”
“Worf.”
“Such strong name! Tell me, where did you get that wonderful baldric?”
“It was made at the forges of Kahless in Qo’noS. It’s a symbol of my honor and loyalty to my family.”
“Impressive!” Rarity said, measuring Worf with her eyes.
“Oh my! Are you all right?” Fluttershy asked Data. “You look pale and…” She touched his forehead and panicked upon feeling that the skin was cold. “Oh Celestia! You are hypothermic!”
“I am not, I am actually…” Data was cut off by Fluttershy, who made him lay on the ground.
“Twilight! Get some blankets! He is freezing!” The pegasus turned her head back to the android. “Rub your chest with your hooves, your legs will take care of themselves. And let me help you.” She lay on the ground next to him and unfolded her right wing over him.
“I am not suffering from hypothermia. I am an android, I don’t have body heat.”
Fluttershy blinked a few times. “Android?”
“Yes. I am a robot.”
The yellow pegasus started to blush violently.
"Sorry..." She said in a whisper.
“Fluttershy, did you call?” Twilight looked at her friend, who was lying on the ground with her right wing unfolded on the pale pony. “Uh, what are you doing?”
Fluttershy’s blushed even more; she folded her wing back in place and hid herself behind Data.
“Your friend thought I had hypothermia and tried to warm me. But I am an android; my body does not produce heat.”
“Wait, you are an android?” Twilight asked, incredulous.
“Yes.”
“That is amazing! Could you tell me more about yourself?”
“Certainly. I…”
“Data!” Picard said “And Worf, Beverly and O’Brien!”
“Captain. It’s good to see you.” Worf said.
“Enterprise: 12 to beam up.” Picard said, and everyone present started to glow. After a few seconds, they were gone
