Now--Day 193, Present Timeline, 1624 Hours One of the last shards of Crystal Tokyo fell before sunrise, leavingnothing but devastation everywhere. The Temple at Cherry Hill waslittle more than a remnant of wood and nails. Crossroads Junior HighSchool completely destroyed, leaving nothing of use. Serena's housewas crumbling from the foundation as a minor earthquake rolled throughthe countryside. No birds, no cars, no people--just silence. Tokyo hadbecome a ghost town. There was a shuffling of dust and debris as the quake rumbled throughthe city, or what was left of it. A small moan was heard just beforeit began to rain. Near the edge of a building that had collapsed undera more serious tremor was some clothing, either shed or pinned when thestructure collapsed. Where or if the owner was still around was amatter of great conjecture. "Jupiter Supreme Thunder Crash!" Sailor Jupiter said, underneath apile of rubble. She was naked, her sailor suit torn to shreds when theapartment complex she was walking by fell. She looked around, aftertransforming back and then having clothes on, at total destruction. Open-jawed, she just continuously stared at pure nothingness, at leastwhat was a few weeks ago, when this adventure began. Looking to the north, she spotted something just out of place enoughto attract her attention. It was black, depthless, and was all toofamiliar to the Scout. 'I don't stand a chance against the Negaversein my present condition. I need to find Pluto and alter the timeline,or we'll all end up either slaves or dead, neither of which is in mylife's plans. And wherever our ships are, we could use them.'Six months ago--Day 1, Present Timeline, 0755 Hours Renie was enjoying bugging the heck out of Serena again, and it wasbarely 8:00 A.M. She stood poised over her mother's bed with a bugleheld about 10 inches away from Serena's face. She had to be tolerantand temperate, as she had desired to blow the bugle 5 times even thoughshe promised herself that she'd wait until 8:00 to show Serena the giftthat had arrived for her last night. 'Keep your eyes on the clock, Renie, keep your eyes on the clock.'Thirty seconds left, and she was absolutely ready to wake her mom upmuch too early, especially given that it was a Saturday and both of herparents had been posted to a different assignment outside the Terransystem, almost 9 months away at maximum warp. '8:00! Finally! She put her lips over the mouthpiece and blew withenough force to get the instrument to work. Serena, in the midst ofan interesting dream, shot straight up and hit the back of herheadboard. Renie put the bugle down and just began to laugh heartily,enjoying every minute of her mom's discontent. "That did it, you little rascal!" Serena said, nabbing Renie andtickling her beyond her wildest expectations. Serena had a wide-eyedsmile in the midst of her nightgown and cat slippers. Luna sat overin the corner, saying to herself 'Three more minutes and I'll scratchthe both of them for no real reason. They seem to do things just forthe fun of it, I don't see why it should be so different with cats.' Having tickled each other silly, Serena set Renie down and looked ather. "This is gonna be a great day. C'mon. You take a shower andI'll fix breakfast. How does pancakes with butter and syrup sound?" Renie glowed at the prospect, knowing that, like her mom had said;this was going to be a great day. Sammy was sitting in a chair downstairs, waiting for his sister towalk down the steps so she could fulfill her promise that she had made.One time, he had caught Serena having sex with both Raye and Amy andwas sworn to an oath of silence. Sammy agreed that he would stay quieton the clause that he could have sex with his sister on threeoccasions. Amy and Raye couldn't believe what she had agreed to, butif her parents found out about the five scouts having sex on aconsistent basis, Serena would never see them again. He was sitting calmly after he heard the bugle indicating that Reniehad successfully woken Serena up. She came down the stairs, liftingher nightgown up as she pulled her panties down so she could get thisover with. There was some music playing, some of Raye's jazz concertosthat she had both invented and directed. The piano played a mellowtune as Sammy began to eat out his sister. His mouth had totallyenveloped her triangle, with his tongue playing tricks with hissister's folds. Serena seemed a bit reluctant and decided to makeSammy stop, clasping her legs together and looking at him. "What?" Sammy said, surprised that Serena seemed to be pulling out ofthis deal. "Not today, Sammy. The three of us are going to go Christmasshopping. If you really want to please me, give me a hand in thekitchen with breakfast. I promised Renie pancakes with butter andsyrup, and anyway Lita and Mina are coming over, they'll help out withshopping as well as breakfast." The doorbell rang. "Damn! I'm glad Renie woke me up when she did. Ineed to go upstairs and get dressed. Sammy, the cookbook is on thethird shelf on the far right side of the kitchen, next to therefrigerator. Let Lita and Mina in. Have them help you, but remindLita not to get too fancy. Renie is entering her 'finicky eating' stage of adolescence." "Gotcha," he said, looking towards the door which was about to berammed. "Wait a second, Lita, we like our door left on the hinges." Minalaughed as Lita lost her expression. She had forgotten how acuteSammy's hearing was, as was all of the Lithgow family's. He unlockedthe door and let the two girls in. Sammy had forgotten that the Saladin was still undergoing repairs inorbit. The two officers walked in, Lita in her blue and Mina in heryellow. I wish I could be in Starfleet, like now! Three years seemsa long time to have to wait. Sammy went back into the kitchen as Litadiscarded her jacket top, placing her commbadge directly onto her rankvest. Serena came down the stairs in quick fashion, almost fallingover in the process. She had simply decided to look somewhat normaltoday, with a different style commbadge, which had the Maquis rank pinplaced in the center, so identifying rank would be easier. For attire,she had chosen a simple blue and green sweater with a turtlenecksweatshirt beneath. "Good morning, people. What's the plan?" Lita, unflappably said, "Eat first. Shop later." "Sounds good. Is Amy going to be joining us?" Mina chimed in. "Nope. They still need to repair the warp core afterour last little trip through the Tellestine nebula. Both she and Rayeare erasing every little contaminant from the core, so they'll be tiedup for the next few days." "I'm sure Erin is thrilled about the prospect." "Truly delighted. She says we'll be able to leave orbit in fiveweeks." "Better than the alternative. Anything more noteworthy?" "Not that I can think of, aside from Jellico wanting to conduct aninspection of the Explorer." "Tell him no. Call my mom and have her countermand Jellico's orders.Only on my terms will he set foot on my ship." "Yes, ma'am." Lita and Mina laughed, as Serena's tone wasunmistakably wry and determined. "Want anything to drink? Coffee, tea, milk, juices?" "I'll have some coffee--" "--Wilderness blend, skim milk and sugar." Serena completed. "How did you know?" "You pick up a few things. One of which is someone's favoritedrink." "Some milk will be fine, Captain, Serena, whatever." "We're off duty, Lita. This is just like the old Scout days." "Actually, it's the new Scout days, but back then we didn't havephasers, photon grenades, or shields." "Very true. Sammy, how's the batter coming along?" "I'm ready." Everyone looked at the young boy in disbelief. It had been less thanthree minutes, and he prepared it by hand without replicator. "Renie and I had been planning this for three days. I had everythingpre-sifted and ready to go, save the butter." Sammy said, smilingslightly. The griddle was ready and Sammy poured in the butter,whisking the batter gently but with enough strength to combine theingredients thoroughly. The water in the shower came to an abrupt haltand Renie stepped out, drying herself off and running over to her room to get dressed so she could eat. The girls had sat down and watched Sammy conduct his magic in thekitchen, while Lita was over at the other counter, carefully slicingsome cantaloupe and setting it on the plates, festively decoratingthem with mint sprigs and raspberry sauce. There was a knock at thedoor, and Serena got up to open it. Stephanie, Alicia, and Beth walkedin as the group assembled. "Speak of the devil! What have you kids been up to?" "You would not believe the number of hails we've gotten from AdmiralJellico demanding to speak with you. He threatened to actually comeover and sit you down and 'straighten you out'." "Sheesh. The man seemingly will not take no for an answer. Okay.Stephanie and Beth, watch the door after you two transform into Neptuneand Saturn. Pluto, you need to stay here, just in case we need tohave a quick switch in the timeline." "Don't you want to call Uranus down as well?" "She's too busy as is. This would be the last thing she would need." A transporter beam emanated from outside, doubtlessly the Admiral. There was a solid wrapping at the door, and Serena had no choice but toopen it. Jellico's features were even harder than they usually were.He seemed beyond irritated. Incensed seemed to fit the bill as to hiscurrent emotional state. "Won't you come in, Admiral?" "Yes. I will. Everyone who does not have a Starfleet uniform-" "--Stays. Out there, you may be in charge. I own this house and Idetermine what goes on inside it. If you have a problem with that, Admiral, thank you for coming over, there's the door." Jellico deflated, as he knew that Serena had a point; it was privateproperty and Captain Lithgow was under no obligation to allow him inher house. He calmed down and sat at the nearby sofa. Stephanie andBeth were still on the guard. "You can change back, you two. Ibelieve that the situation is under control." Serena walked over to the chair facing the sofa and looked intoJellico's eyes. He was tired, irate, and just looked flat out old. "Can I have some tea?" he asked, looking like he needed some. "What kind?" "Chamomile, with a little sugar." Edward said, his anger driftingaway, as he knew it would do him no good to contain it. Sammy seemed a little edgy now that someone that had that much authority was lessthan thirty feet away from him. He looked around and got a chorus of"Admiral"s as he waited for Serena to return with the tea. "I can't begin to comprehend what kind of stress you've been underthe last few days." Jellico smiled and almost laughed at that, saying "You are quiteright, Captain, you wouldn't have the faintest idea how hard lifeseems to have become for me." "Please don't tell me it's still this little gripe with Picard's and Admiral Nachayev's decision to place Mackenzie Calhoun on thebridge of a starship again." "The thing behind that is primarily because the Excalibur has gonesilent. That's why I've been trying like mad to get an inspectioncrew on your ship, Captain." Serena put two and two together. "You can't possibly be suggesting..." "I talked to Captain Picard. He feels that your experience with therecent Jem'Hadar invasion will prove invaluable in the ThallonianEmpire crisis. And considering that Voyager is still undergoingrepairs and the Defiant is still DS9's 'carryon', if you'll pardon theexpression, left me with one choice. You." "When would we leave?" "First, I want to conduct a full-scale inspection of the Explorer. With an Ambassador-class ship that has gone silent out there somewhere,we must make sure that every system is working at peak efficiency." "Admiral, forgive me for sounding pessimistic here, and no insultsintended, the situation where you took command of the Enterprise-D wasfraught with consequences. Everyone except Counselor Troi andCommander Data seemed to have a problem with your style of leadership.If I'm going to pilot this mission, I must make this explicitly clearnow. There will be no personnel changes or any department shuffling.The way it is now is the only way that my ship enters Sector 221-G." "Succinctly put, Captain, but we have a minor problem. The Danteriand the Thallonians are both requesting that they send a neutralrepresentative as a 'guide' with your mission. They feel that if anAmbassador class ship can get lost inside their space is cause enoughfor concern." "What do the 'heads' of both their respective governments feel aboutthis?" "They both seem incensed seeing as that we denied them theopportunity with the Excalibur. But the situation is different." "I see." "Unless we can track down the Excalibur, you'll leave in six weeks." "Understood. Is that all?" "Yes, Captain, it is. Thank you for the tea, and thank you forreminding me to watch my tongue and temper in public." "The pleasure was all mine, Admiral. Commander, would you care toescort our guest out, please?" Mina rose from the table and walked over to the couch to walk with Admiral Jellico. "Mom! Come up here! You won't believe what this is!" Renie shoutedfrom upstairs. Edward seemed mystified as he looked at the Captain forthe last time today. 'She's both a starship Captain and a mother?Wow. I thought my life was difficult.' The Admiral had been gone for about an hour and yet, there was still afeeling of discontent in the house. Disruption. Everyone had tried toput their finger on it, with no success. Breakfast was long over, and what had started out as a somewhat good-looking day had grown cloudy asthe rain began to fall. Everyone but Mina had gone back to the Saladinto rest for the day. "He can't be serious." Mina said through a thunderclap outside, whileshe was sitting by the swimming pool. Serena's house was unusually big, with four levels and an interiorswimming pool/patio/fireplace area on the north side of the house. Theprogress of the storm kept the center pretty much over the citythroughout the day as their Christmas shopping plans had been washedout. She was in the pool, working on her backstroke and listening toMina at the same time. "I'm afraid so. Jellico is planning on sending us into a hornet'snest of a collapsing empire, and I don't have the first clue as towhere to begin." "Well, we'll have the Saladin, right?" "Wrong. Apparently the entire plasma infuser array is contaminated.It seems harmless enough, but they're looking at 8 to 10 months to geta new unit in and properly calibrated." "That's great." Mina scoffed, with no intention of keeping herdisgust cloaked. "Oh. Did Renie show you what she got?" Serena said. "No." "It was this absolutely gorgeous Tholian sweater that Dad got for her. I'm kind of jealous about it, but she does deserve some good things in life." The door chime sounded. "Wonder who that could be? You want me toget it?" "Yeah. Renie should be up in her room, sleeping." Mina strode awayto get the door. 'Edward Jellico is one of the best Starfleet has to offer on quality and detail. However, he has the worst sense of timing. Serena and Darien's wedding anniversary is in 6 weeks and we'll be spacebound forit. It is better than the alternative of still being on active duty insome distant corner of the quadrant.' Mina got to the door and opened it. Her mouth was agape, as what shesaw she knew was impossible. It was Amy, with Darien, and a taller teenage looking girl, which borea striking resemblance to Renie. "Come in." was all she could say, as her eyes were simply transfixedon this Renie-teenager.Day 1--2215 Hours, Present Timeline Serena had finished swimming and she climbed into the shower that wasin the pool area. 'A graceful day, albeit a little stormier than Iwould have preferred, but I can only ask so much. I need to relax,unwind. I need to masturbate, as it's been some time since I've beenwith Darien.' She looked down at her breasts, which seemed to have grown during the day. She wanted to release the tension that was there when Jellico hadcome 'storming' in, and this was the only healthy way she knew how. Wasting no time, she slowly caressed her bosoms that seemed to expand upon touch. Her eyes fluttered, and she let her other hand go down towards her love box and vagina. She placed her hand entirely over herwomanhood, and just slowly massaged herself as the tension started to fade and her orgasm began to build. She unfolded her hand and placed afinger at the entrance of her lips. Pushing in slowly, the sensations began to overwhelm her, causing her to run into the side of the shower wall. That wouldn't stop her as she inserted another finger and began topump only as quickly as her muscles would allow her to. Her otherhand, which was massaging her breast drifted away, as she began to useher entire arm to rub herself. Her breathing had grown heavier, butshe wasn't struggling, as pleasure seemed to take on a form. Shecontinued to pump and found her pearl. It only took a few touchesbefore her muscles tensed up and then contracted as her body snappedsolid and a moderate orgasm overtook her body. Her juices splatteredonto the shower floor, and she was somewhat glad that Mina was nolonger in the pool area. Knowing that whoever was at the door was probably for her, she rinsedout her hair and got out of the shower. She put on her panties afterdrying herself off and some jeans that she had left from the other day.Grabbing her forest green terry cloth bathrobe, she tied herself up init and headed for the main area of the house to find out who had stopped by. The candlelight that was in the kitchen seemed almost mysterious asshe walked into the living room. What she saw shocked her. There was Darien, sitting right next to Amy, and someone who looked alittle too much like Renie next to her. Mina looked as shocked as Serena felt, as Amy wanted to slowlyexplain. 'That's not Renie. Renie can't be that tall yet, unless I am thatbadly out of it.' "I want some explanations and I want them now. Mina, was Renie inher room?" The girl responded "How could I possibly be in two places at once?" "No sign of her. There was something else enclosed with the sweater.It was a small box of cookies that Renie has had a few of." "How many?" "Well, there were 24 slots and now there are 19 cookies left." "What's the big deal? It was for me, and I don't think that weshould be pointing fingers over what I do with my gifts." the Renielook-alike replied. Luna strode down the stairs and looked at the group. Everyone but theRenie facsimile she recognized. "What should we do?" "You should let me go upstairs to my room and go to bed, Mom! I'mtired and I want more of those cookies." "Mina, go upstairs and break off a small piece of one of Renie'scookies and bring it to the science lab on the third floor. I believethat I have an explanation."Day 2--0223 Hours, Present Timeline Serena slammed her fist into the wall as she had just finished everyscan imaginable. Each result either came up inconclusive or negative.Mina and Amy looked on as she was boxing with the wall in frustration. "Captain, calm down! You're going to break your hand if you keep itup." She punched the wall again, replying "I don't see why not, Mina. We've just spent three hours in a search for the cause of Renie's growth spurt. All our technology and I can't figure out why." "Maybe not all our time was wasted, Serena. Take a look at this." She stopped hitting on the oak, looked at it and said, "If this goes wrong, I'll be back." She strode over to the station where Amy was working at with Mina at her side. "What do you have?" "I had just about given up hope when I stumbled on this scanfrequency. It is usually used for sensor anomalies and other unusualfluctuations in the spatial density surrounding starships. I was aboutto alter the resonance when I spotted this." Serena looked at the microscope and realized in fraught terror whatwas going on and what was to come. "Grand. So, from this analysis,there's a specific cellular match in the compositional structure of thecookie that is on the same exact resonance as Renie's genetic code." "And, from a cross-compositional analysis, we've determined that thecookie was designed to override the cellular blocks on her pituitaryglands." "That means?" "She's going to keep getting bigger. The cookie has set up some sortof genetic viral infection that will occur if she stops eating them fora long while before she's eaten all 24. If we take these away, she'lldie." "How big?" "From her bloodstream flow pattern, only the contents of one of thefive cookies she's eaten have made any effect on her currently." "Pretty potent. How tall will she be?" "It's just too early to draw a conclusion based on this prematurestage. We're estimating anywhere from 1,000 feet to 5,000 feet plus." Darien had left after a while, knowing that he'd be more helpfulreadying any ships that he could for the Thallonian system mission.Mina and the others were in the science lab still trying to fix anumber on Renie's final height. Sammy had gone back downstairs andwanted to talk to Renie for a while. He was still frustrated from earlier. Serena had made him a promise,and she had told him no. But he knew that she wasn't about to back outon this deal. He got to Renie's door and knocked. "It's open, come in." she said from behind the passageway. Sammywalked in and shut the door. "Good. I'm glad you stopped by, Sammy." "I wanted to talk to you, Renie. It's kind of important." "Words can wait, Sammy. Come on--don't dare tell me that you don'tfind me attractive." Renie was definitely more voluptuous than she had been this morning.Her breasts seemed as big as melons, and she was just drop-deadgorgeous now. "I won't bother trying to fool you." "Good. Why are your clothes still on? I thought by now you wouldhave ripped off everything and be 3 feet in me by now." Sammy was placed in a don't-think-about-turning-this-down situation.He quickly pulled off his jeans and rid himself of his underwear. Renie did the same, but slowly, pulling off her top so that Sammy couldsee everything he was getting himself into. She then quickly realizedthat she was getting either hotter or bigger, or maybe a combination ofthe both. Sammy's penis was rock hard as he wasted no time with foreplay andslid his member into Renie's vagina. Her breasts grew a foot, knockinginto Sammy's mouth as he started to suckle at Renie's milk. He poundedhis flesh into her, feeling minor tremors inside himself. Renie climaxed rather quickly, shivering and making Sammy work a little harder. She shrieked as Sammy continued to suckle away at her breast.His mouth was full of her milk, and quickly swallowing in, he began tosuckle some more out of her globe. The room seemed to shake as he continued to smash his penis as far ashe could go into Renie's tender tunnel. She climaxed again, reachingfor the cookie box and stuffing three into her mouth. He laid flat onthe bed, having Renie bounce up and down on his member and waited forthe redhead to orgasm so he could taste of a woman. She climaxed onceagain, swallowing the cookies and growing again, her feet and headhitting opposite sides of the room as her body expanded. If Sammynoticed her spurt, he did not care as he continued to pump himself,waiting desperately for Renie's orgasm. Sammy, gasping, said, "Want some milk to go with those cookies,Renie?" "Yeah." He pushed her breast into her mouth and she suckled away at her ownmilk. He could tell Renie was just a few pumps away from orgasm, so hecounted out before he would remove his penis and place his mouth in thesame area it was less that 24 hours ago. 'Seven, six, five, four, three, two, one. Put the mouth there and let the tongue do the rest.' Her vagina was a little bigger, giving Sammy a good route for herpearl. His tongue tapped it and Renie's muscles tensed. 'Here shecomes...' Renie orgasmed right into Sammy's mouth. Her body convulsed,physically shaking the room rather strongly. Her juices splatteredinto Sammy's mouth as he swallowed most of what had been expelled inher orgasm. They were both breathing rather hard after that. Sammy had been inRenie's first orgasm-made quake, a rather mild one considering whatwas to come in the future.• End of Part OneMackenzie Calhoun, the Excalibur, Enterprise-D, Defiant, Voyager,Admirals Edward Jellico, Alynna Nachayev and Captain Jean-Luc Picardare registered trademarks of the new book series "Star Trek:New Frontier" by Peter David. © Paramount Pictures 1998.
