Jean-Luc sat at his desk, mulling over a recent sensor sweep reports.
Nothing unusual, a few comets, an asteroid belt, and a few gas
pockets. Nothing exciting. He sighed and laid the pad down on the 
table in front of him, picking up his cup of tea, sipping the brew 
slowly.

His door chimed and, as custom, he called, "Come." When the door
didn't open and allow the guest to enter his eyebrow raised. The chime 
rang again and he called once again, "Come." Still no one entered.

He stood and headed for the door, pressing the door release and his
eyebrows raised at the woman standing outside his door. She was
wearing, what looked like a cat suit. The headband had small pointed
ears, and a solid, form fitting, black suit. Her hands were gloved
with rather menacing looking claws and she was holding a small bag in 
front of her with a Jack-O-Lantern on it.

She smiled. "Trick or Treat."

He chuckled. "Beverly, what are you doing?"

She pouted. "I said, Trick or Treat. It is Halloween after all, Jean-
Luc."

Jean-Luc raised his right hand, still laughing. "Fine, since I don't
have any treats for you. I suppose I'll have to go with Trick."

Beverly smiled devilishly. "I was hoping you would say that." She
reached out a claw-covered hand and playfully scratched his chest,
while making a purring sound as she stepped over the threshold.

"I have a nice Trick for you," she stated in a husky voice as she
crooked her fingers and gestured for him to follow her.

"Oh my!"

He watched as her body swayed towards his bedroom, her tail trailing
behind her. He swallowed several times before securing the door and
following her in.
