Sara started a holodeck program she’d been working on for a couple weeks. It was always a good idea to offer the occasional idle diversion and this old earth holiday seemed opportune for just that. The holodeck was filled with an open field, at the back of which was a barn, with a banner on it that read ‘Haunted House’, there was a bar, and buffet, and more candy than was reasonable for the small population of children on the ship, and all of it wrapped in a perfect Autumn night sky.

Sara was dressed as a witch and she was a bit concerned about being in a costume, but she tried not to worry about it as she sent out an invitation to the entire crew. All Hands, this is the Captain. Now that I have your attention, there’s a Halloween party in Holodeck two, costumes optional but encouraged. Come one, come all!

Siadra hadn’t needed to ask Liara twice if she wanted to go to the Halloween party. So it was with a very excited six-year-old pulling on her hand that the First Officer entered the holodeck. Liara was dressed like an astronaut from the 21st century from Earth, with the helmet and all. Though with the visor open. After all: with the visor down she wouldn’t be able to eat sweets! Siadra on the other hand opted for a fictional character from Earth: Anne of Green Gables. Her wife and she had found that book during an vacation on Earth and had fallen in love with the story. So with her red hair braided in two pigtails, she was dressed in white dress made of muslin with lace, ruffles, puffed sleeves and all; including, of course, all the proper undergarments for the prefect late Victorian silhouette. Spotting the Captain, she bent forward and said, “Let’s say hello to Captain Kiernan and then we can have a look around, okay?” “Okay,” Liara nodded.

When they reached Sara, the little girl said, “I love your costume! Are you a witch?”

Sara looked down at Liara and smiled wide. “Well thank you! Yes I am.” She knelt down to Liara’s height. “And you’re… an astronaut, right?”

“Hello Captain,” Siadra greeted the other woman with a soft laugh. “This is a wonderful idea. Thank you.”

Sara rose and said “I always liked a good Halloween party. And it’s always nice to have a little something for the crew and their families.” She gestured back to the rest of the space “Well I booked the holodeck for an obnoxious amount of time, perks of being the Captain, so enjoy yourselves!”
