>Series: TNG Marrissa Stories,
>Parts: NEW 1/1
>Rating: [G]
>Codes: Halloween Challenge
MIKE: This must be a pro wrestling story.
CROW: Marrissa "The Body" Picard vs. Stone Cold Will Riker in a battle
to the finish!
SERVO: FROM THE TOP ROPE!
CROW: [whispering] What does that mean, exactly?
SERVO: I dunno, but it sounds impressive.
>
>Summary: Marrissa and her friends discuss the tricks they've
>played on the Enterprise's command staff, before going out
>trick or treating this year
SERVO: Nice to know Trick Or Treat made it to the future.
CROW: Well, something has to support the candy industry in the
24th century.
>
>No Trick This Year.
MIKE: Silly Captain, Tricks are for kids!
>
>Marrissa and her friends
CROW: Bubba the Talking Bear, Barbie, a headless Ken and her
Furby collection...
> were gathered in the Picard quarters
>getting ready for trick or treating.
SERVO: Yes, it's Hell Night on the Enterprise, and Marrissa's
gonna make the most of it.
> Marrissa was going as
>Sailor Moon this year,
CROW: Ouch!
SERVO: Could be worse - she could be going as a Powerpuff Girl.
MIKE: It's pretty much the same thing, isn't it?
SERVO: Mike, try to keep up, okay?
> and based on the looks the Captain had
>given her when she had tried the custom
ALL: And tradition.
> on last week, he
>wasn't exactly approving the costume.
MIKE: [Picard] I thought I told you, Marrissa, *I* wanted to be
Sailor Moon this year!
> Marrissa thought it was
>the skirt that was the problem,
CROW: She shouldn't have made it out of his dress uniform.
> but it wasn't her fault that
>those old Japanese animators drew it that short, and he'd had
>time to object.
SERVO: Hey, I just realized - Marrissa *is* Princess of Space!
CROW: Lovely. That means the Enterprise should meet Krankhor's
chicken men any second now.
>
>Clara was going as Skuld, which Marrissa thought fit her
>perfectly.
MIKE: I'd be inclined to agree, if I knew who or what "Skuld" was.
> Clara was doing some touch-up on her makeup
MIKE: While drinking Seven-Up.
CROW: And getting ready for her close-up.
SERVO: And hoping she wouldn't screw up.
> before
>the group departed. Jay had colored his hair black,
CROW: A little dab'll do ya, Jay.
> and was
>dressed as Shinji Ikari, complete with plug suit.
CROW: Complete with *what?!?*
SERVO: It's either an electrical appliance, or something illegal
in all 50 states.
MIKE: Possibly both.
CROW & SERVO: Ewwwwwwww!!!
> Alexander,
>who was only in his second year trick or treating,
SERVO: [Alexander] Please, let me stop now!
> had chosen
>to go with his strengths...
MIKE: Ah, he's going as not-a-warrior.
> He was dressed as a knight.
CROW: [English accent] Stand and deliver, Sir Klingon!
>Shayna, meanwhile, had chosen to go with the old stand-by, a
>witch.
SERVO: Elizabeth Montgomery *is* Melissa Joan Hart *as* Shayna!
MIKE: Actually - I'd watch that.
>
>"I still think you should have chosen the fairy godmother
>costume, Shayna," Clara said from her post next to Marrissa's
>mirror.
CROW: [Marrissa] Never mind that now - just man your post!
SERVO: [Clara] Aye, captain! Make-up mirror at the ready -
lipstick tubes fully charged and armed!
>
>"I did that a couple of years back," Shayna said. "It didn't
>turn out well. Plus, I like doing an evil laugh."
MIKE: And since Marrissa does most of that, she doesn't get much
chance to let one go.
>
>"Please spare us,"
ALL: Amen!
> Jay said, adjusting his plug suit. "If I
>hear that laugh one more time, I'm going to go insane."
SERVO: In the membrane?
>
>"Then it's a good thing I didn't go with that Anime theme you
>three have going," Shayna said.
CROW: [Shayna] I mean, who'd believe a gun-toting, prepubescent
blonde as a, uh, heh, never mind!
SERVO: At least she doesn't have those huge eyes.
MIKE: You guys are actively trying to get us in trouble, aren't you?
> "I would have chosen the
>Black Rose, Kodachi Kuno."
MIKE: Who? What?
SERVO: It's an Anime thing, Mike.
MIKE: I hate stories where I don't know what's going on.
CROW & SERVO: Well...
MIKE: Don't say it!
>
>"Please don't remind me of that series," Jay remarked.
MIKE: Jay breaks out in hives at the mere mention of "Judge Judy".
>
>"What, you didn't enjoy being the object of affection for 3,
>no 4 girls," Alexander said,
SERVO: Elvis Presley *IS* Jay Alan Gordon in "Girls Girls Girls -
and, um, Girls".
> knowing that that particular
>holo-program had been one of much embarrassment for his
>friend.
MIKE: Somehow, I get the feeling that just *being* Jay is one long,
unending string of embarrassment.
>
>"No I didn't enjoy being a sex changing guy with a insane fear
>of cats," Jay said.
CROW: [Jay] I mean, I *like* cats!
> "I don't know what made me say yes to
>being the title character.
MIKE: Other than having Marrissa threaten to drill him a new
navel if he didn't.
> So, Marrissa, what tricks are you
>planning on this year?"
SERVO: Marrissa will be turning tricks? Ewwww!
CROW: It's "Star Trek: The Red Light Generation".
>
>Smiling at the attempt at changing the subject, Marrissa said,
>"I'm not."
SERVO: [Marrissa] I haven't used up all my *old* tricks yet!
>
>"You aren't planning on doing something to the officers who
>don't give good candy this year," Jay accused, "Why not?"
MIKE: [Marrissa] I finally figured out - that's what I have
slavish minions like you for!
>
>"I'm an officer now, Jay," Marrissa said. "I could get in big
>trouble."
CROW: Heaven knows everyone *else* on board already is!
>
>"So the master of the Halloween trick won't be adding to her
>list of accomplishments," Shayna stated. "I guess that means
>I'll have to replace you, and I'll do a lot better job."
SERVO: Look out, it's a throwdown!
ALL: Slapfight! Slapfight! Slapfight!
>
>"I doubt it," Marrissa said. "I don't see how you could beat
>even my trick on Commander La Forge."
MIKE: She taped "Two Guys, a Girl and a Pizza Place" over all
his old "Reading Rainbow" episodes.
>
>"Turning the view on his visor so right is left, that's
>child's play," Shayna said.
SERVO: Yeah, it's always fun to mess with people's visual
prosthetics!
CROW: Still, it fits Marrissa's general lifestyle of providing
maximum pain to the widest possible audience!
>
>"Then top her trick on two years ago, Commander Riker,"
CROW: Now Riker's getting in on the act!
MIKE: It's wacky Halloween fun for the whole crew!
> Clara
>said. "Waking up with white hair in the morning sure had him
>freaking out."
SERVO: [singing] Super Will extraordinaire - Rikerzoid! Rikerzoid!
>
>"I know, Dad told me after last year." Alexander said. "But
>Dad said Riker joked about it later in a staff meeting."
>
CROW: [Alexander] Of course, he muttered a lot of stuff about
severed heads and defenestration, but Riker has a weird
sense of humor anyway.
>"Speaking of your father, how did he take last year's trick,"
MIKE: He played the Ace of Hearts over Data's King-high.
>Marrissa said. "I never heard about his reaction."
>
>"He was more mad at himself than anything else," Alexander
>said.
CROW: [Alexander] So he challenged himself to a knife fight.
And lost.
> "I mean, who else could he blame for the fact he sleeps
>so deep that someone was able to spray color his hair neon
>green."
CROW: It's Wacky Clown Worf!Š
SERVO: Wacky Rubber Clown Bat'leth sold separately!
>
>"I assume he has better candy than chocolate covered gagh this
>year," Marrissa stated.
MIKE: [Alexander] This year he has Caramellos.
CROW: Yuck! Tell him to go back to the gagh!
>
>"You know, there are only three members of the senior staff,
>we haven't got," Jay said.
MIKE: The rest are all tied up in the basement.
> "Troi, who has the best candy,
CROW: [Python] I bet she does, eh? Eh? Eh? Say no more!
> so
>we have no reason; the Doctor, who seems to have somehow been
>missed in our campaign;
SERVO: Well, she pretty much gets overlooked in the movies and
on the series, so it's understandable how that happened.
> and the Captain."
>
>"Who got Data?" Marrissa asked.
CROW: Who got game?
SERVO: Who got the hooch?
MIKE: Who got the action
>
>"I did last year," Clara said. "He gave me coconut
>chocolates, and I hate them, so I redid his lighting and
>environment controls.
SERVO: Geez!
CROW: What would've happened if he'd given her a Zagnut bar?
Would she've firebombed his quarters? Fried him with an
EM Pulse? Kidnapped his cat?
MIKE: Apparently, if you're assigned to the Enterprise, your best
bet for survival is to memorize what kind of sweeties
each Kid's Crew member likes.
> When he ordered the lights dimmed, he
>got a blizzard instead.
MIKE: Well, getting a tasty treat from Dairy Queen's not too bad.
SERVO: It's Scrumpdillyicious!
> Unfortunately, the feedback wasn't
>good.
CROW: Jimi Henrix just didn't dig it.
> He just commented that it was an unusual way to reduce
>visibility."
CROW: Just before he froze solid and broke into a million pieces.
SERVO: Yeah, just like our hero, the T-1000. *sniff*
>
>"We'll never have a reason to get Counselor Troi,
MIKE: Yes, Jay, just admit to yourself you'll never get to
"get" Troi, and move on with your life.
> and we're
>too afraid to get the Captain," Jay said.
SERVO: No one gets the captain - he's the wind, baby!
> "But I bet that
>whoever gets Doctor Crusher will beat all of our past
>attempts."
CROW: [Jay] I bet we can physically deform her!
>
>"You're on, Jay," Shayna said. "I'll pull a trick on the
>Doctor so good, that it will make all previous tricks by
>Marrissa look like child's play."
SERVO: Hey, Chuckie's joining the Kids' Crew.
CROW: It's fitting.
>
>"We'll see," Marrissa stated.
>
>
>Doctor Crusher knew that she shouldn't have given out the
>candy apples.
MIKE: Because soon, the apple gnomes would be back!
> Not only would they increase the Enterprise
>Dental staff's work, they weren't exactly the favorites of the
>children of the Enterprise.
CROW: If no one ever eats them, why would they increase the dental
staff's work?
MIKE: Beverly overcooks them - people keep whapping each other in
the teeth with them and breaking incisors.
> But she had thought she was safe.
>After all, Marrissa couldn't afford to play a joke,
SERVO: Tell me about it - have you *seen* the price of fake
upchuck these days?!?
> now that
>she was an Ensign. However, she'd obviously forgotten about
>Marrissa's friends.
CROW: [Gangster] Hiya, Doc! We're Marrissa's "friends". We wanna
have a little talk wit' ya about dem apples, heh heh heh!
> The evidence was right on the tip of her
>nose in the form of a rather large wort.
CROW: Geez, I was only *kidding* about physically deforming her!
MIKE: Wait, I think she just has a large medicinal herb growing
on her nose.
> Oh well, she was a
>doctor,
SERVO: Just in case you haven't been paying attention the last
decade or so.
> it wouldn't take long for her to fix. Now where was
>that medical kit... she was sure it was in her quarters
>earlier.
MIKE: Of course, it should've been in sickbay, but when you're CMO,
you can store stuff wherever the heck you feel like it.
>
>
>"Do you concede that I beat your tricks, Marrissa?" Shayna
>asked, as the group met up the next day.
CROW: "Never!" Marrissa cried as she broke Shayna's chokehold
and pinned her with her knee.
> Doctor Crusher had
>been unable to find the necessary medical tools in her
>quarters, and everyone had heard of the Doctor's wort.
MIKE: So somehow they infected her with either a facial blemish
or holistic healing herbs, then managed to locate and
heist her personal medical kit.
CROW: Boy, these kids make Shining Path and the IRA look like
a beach party!
SERVO: *Never* come between the Marrissa-nistas and their candy!
>
>"No I don't," Marrissa said. "You see after I got back from
>trick or treating, I had a talk with Dad about why he allows
>trick or treating."
SERVO: Turned out he owns stock in Hershey's. Go figure.
>
>"Why does he?" Jay asked. "I know it's become a tradition,
>but rumor is, he started it."
CROW: [Marrissa] Yeah, but *I'm* gonna finish it!
>
>"And he still gives the worst candy," Clara said. "We really
>should have gotten him."
MIKE: [Jay] Can't. He's surrounded his cabin with a security
detachment, all armed with pulsed phaser rifles!
SERVO: [Clara] So what?!? *We've* got Marrissa!
MIKE: Oh, yeah.
>
>"So you don't like peanut butter cups," Jay said.
CROW: How can you screw up a peanut butter cup?
SERVO: Knowing Picard, it probably comes wrapped in a five-
page lecture about the Prime Directive.
> "And neither
>of you have seen what Marrissa did to her poor father last
>night."
>
>"I have, and boy did Marrissa do a good job," Alexander said.
SERVO: [Alexander] She didn't leave any blood on the walls!
>
>"So what did you do to the Captain?" Clara asked.
CROW: Let's just say he can now legally change his name to
*Jeanne-Marie* Picard!
>
>"Well, I asked him about trick or treating," Marrissa began.
>"It turns out that he use to be a master trickster, when he
>was young,
MIKE: Jean-Luc Picard *IS* Master Trickster!
SERVO: [a la Jon Lovitz's Master Thespian] PRCATICAL JOKING!!!
MIKE: BRILLIANT!!!
SERVO: THANK YOU!!!
> although I had thought that the custom was an
>American one, as opposed to French.
CROW: Like that's ever stopped Star Trek before!
SERVO: Yet more proof that the Federation is just 1950's Middle
America writ large.
> So when the Counselor
>suggested a couple years back that the Command Staff needed to
>relax a little more,
SERVO: He screamed, "I AM RELAXED!!!". Then he pistol-whipped her.
> he decided to start the Halloween
>tradition on the Enterprise.
CROW: Which may explain why 80% of Hydroponics is set aside for
growing pumpkins.
> He set it up, then called in
>Wesley
ALL: ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!
> and gave him a quick course on tricking, and set him
>lose on Commander Riker."
CROW: So Picard is really Loki the trickster god?
MIKE: Pretty much, yeah.
>
>"That was the year that Riker woke up without any hair, wasn't
>it?" Jay said.
SERVO: He said "Beware," and went on a tear! I say, "No Fair!"
>
>"Exactly," Marrissa said. "Apparently, Dad thought that it
>was cosmically unjust that his first officer had more hair on
>his chin than he had on his whole head.
MIKE: [Dully] Ha ha. The irony. Stop it. Please. No more.
SERVO: Hey, Ratliff's plagiarizing! That's a quote from one of
the Pocket Book novels!
CROW: How would you know, Tom?
SERVO: Um, ya see, heheheh...
MIKE & CROW: Fanbot! Fanbot!
> Well this morning, he
>doesn't have that problem. He woke up to discover his hair
>growing uncontrollably."
MIKE: [Picard] Minoxidil, Earl Gray, Hot.
>
>"The Captain looks like a regular werewolf, this morning,"
CROW: [Girl from "Wirrwolf"] He's obzoludely fazzinahding.
SERVO: If Crusher wakes up the next day as a werewolf, I quit!
>Alexander laughed. "All he lacks are the claws."
>
>"That would have been going too far," Marrissa said.
[All laugh]
CROW: Look who's talking about going too far!
SERVO: Well, she should know!
MIKE: Thank you, Stephen, for making us laugh at cruel
Halloween tricks - again.

[All leave]
O |2| <3> (4) {5} [6]
[SOL - Mike & Crow are on the bridge. A door has been set
up off to the side, and a bowl of candy is sitting on the
console.]
CROW: So, Mike, is it really acceptable practice to torment people
who give you crappy candy on Halloween?
MIKE: Well, it usually just consists of things like soaping car
windows, or TPing someone's lawn.
CROW: I'd say by the 24th Century, things have gotten a little bit
more serious.
[A doorbell sounds]
MIKE: I'll get it.
[Mike opens the door to reveal Servo, with a rubber Nixon mask pulled
over his bubble dome]
SERVO: Trick or Treat!
MIKE: Aw, how cute. [reaches over to the bowl] Here ya go, kid,
have a pack of Butterfinger BB's.
SERVO: Wow! Thanks, mister! [wanders off. Mike closes the door]
CROW: Anyway, it's one thing to fill someone's mailbox with shaving
cream. But Marrissa's little band of thugs are breaking
into people's cabins, conducting germ warfare, even tampering
with the environment!
[Doorbell sounds again]
MIKE: I'll get it.
[Mike opens the door to reveal Servo, with a rubber Clinton mask pulled
over his bubble dome]
SERVO: Trick or Treat!
MIKE: Pretty neat costume. [reaches over to the bowl] Here, have
a 3 Musketeers bar.
SERVO: Hey, great, I love those! [wanders off. Mike closes the door]
MIKE: Cute kid. But I know what you mean, Crow. It's like the CIA
was run by Dennis the Menace.
CROW: Exactly!
MIKE: Oh, hey, do you wanna...
CROW: You mean now?
MIKE: Why not?
CROW: Sure. *ahem* To join the MiSTing Authors Dibs List, send an
e-mail to majo...@neylonpc.engin.umich.edu with the message
"subscribe dibslist [<your name>]" in the message body.
Read the FAQ, don't work blue, and remember to distribute
yummy candy on October 31st.
[Doorbell sounds again]
MIKE: I'll get it.
[Mike opens the door to reveal Servo, with a cardboard Mike mask taped to
his bubble dome]
SERVO: Trick or Treat!
CROW: Boy, that's a scary mask!
MIKE: Yeah, I'm pretty frightened. [reaches over to the bowl] Here,
have a box of raisins.
[long pause]
SERVO: A box of raisins? A BOX OF RAISINS?!?!?!? Don't you know I HATE
RAISINS!!! [There's a clanking sound, and a rather large
bore cannon begins extending from Tom's torso] That does
it!! No more Mr. Nice Bot!!! I want every last Almond Joy,
every bag of Reese's Pieces, every last stinking Mr. Goodbar
you got in the house!!! Capice?!? [Mads light begins to flash]
CROW: They're cute when they pout, aren't they?
MIKE: Adorable. [Taps button]
[CF - Pearl is alone]
PEARL: Well, Nell's Bell's, I hope you enjoyed your little minidose
of Mr. Stephen today. It's probably the shortest piece of
his you'll ever get, so revel in it.
OBSERVER: [OS] I'm not coming out!
PEARL: [yelling] Yes you are! [normal] Anyway, I figure since most
folks can't tell what day it is without checking their
digital watches a dozen times a day, I'd send these little
rugrats out and cash in on this "Trick or Treat" crapola.
[Yells offscreen again] BRAIN GUY!!! Get your pasty white
hinder out here!
[Observer trudges out wearing a gold TOS-era Star Trek uniform under
his usual cape and cowl]
OBSERVER: I feel like ten kinds of fool!
PEARL: Ah, don't worry, you only look like five different kinds. Now
remember, I get all the Crunch bars, you get the Clark bars,
Bobo gets those horrible peanuty things, everything else
we sell on the black market.
OBSERVER: But can't I at least wear a uniform from Deep Space Nine,
or something a bit more dignified?
PEARL: You're lucky I didn't make you wear the red shirt! BOBO!!!!
Get that King Kong outfit on and get out here!
BOBO: [OS] It didn't fit, lawgiver! But I've got something else.
PEARL: What?
[Bobo bounds out wearing a fuku and a blond ponytail wig]
BOBO: SAILOR APE PLANET POWER!!!!!
[Pearl and Brain Guy yell unintelligibly and flee the room. Bobo
begins spinning blissfully as we fade out. After the screen goes
black, we hear a cacophonous clatter]
BOBO: [over fadeout] Ow! Who put that wall there?
