TrekkieAngl's short fictions..

[trekkieangl]

for the few fan fics i write, i tried to find one that was short enough for this. mine usually go to about eight pages.. this one was a real short one. it's more of for the enterprise series, the point of view from porthos, the dog. so have fun and please tell me what you think.

Ever wonder what's behind that big door? The door my owner goes out every morning and returns at night? I want to know. I can't seem to reach those blinking lights. I got out, once. Found my way to this big thing that hummed .. I think my owner called it 'En-gin-eering.' It was big. That was all I knew.
I sit here, in front of the door. I saw my owner leave this morning. he pushed that red blinking button. that button indicates a lock of some sort. There's a table near the door. I tried getting on it before. But I'm too short. There's also cheese on it. A whole plate of that yummy cheese. Nothing like those doggy cookies my owner use to give me, but it's all the same.
Though, now that I look hard enough, that couch looks just high enough. I backed up and running fast, I leaped up, only to barely touch the top of the couch and slide back down. I wasn't giving up. I wanted out. I wanted to explore. So I decided to try again. I ran so fast I felt my paws barely touching the ground then with one big leap, I found myself on top of the leather like couch.
"Yip!" I said, panting. The smell of that cheese called my name. I continued to climb the wooden table and there before my very eyes a plate of cheese squares lay. <Heaven>, I thought, helping myself. The cheese stuck to the top of my mouth. I'd have to save the rest for later.
It was easy now to reach the blinking red light. I touched it with my wet nose. The doors hissed opened for me! I jumped down with joy and stepped outside my room. <Now what?> I asked myself, looking to the left and to the right.
There were so many different odors in the air. I went the way that I had gone before. Yep, I found myself in that 'En-gin-eering' place again. But I steered clear of my owner's friend. He told on me. I like him, but he's got a bigger mouth then me. I walked passed him, my eyes still glued on the big thing that still hummed with life.
"The engine's fine, Cap't," I heard Trip say. He was looking at the thing too. 'En-gin.' I wondered if the 'En-gin' was talking to me or the humans. It didn't say much. Just hummed. And not very musically either. I went on my walk around it, noticing the stares and gestures some were giving me. one called out "Commander," and pointed to me. I turned to see him coming to me. I didn't know this human and trotted away. I heard his pick up his pace and soon others started with him.
<Go away>, I thought, now jogging my four little paws around the 'En-gin.' But before I knew it, I ran into a pair of legs. I looked up. <Oops>.
"Hey Porthos," Trip said, reaching to pick me up.
<No, no, no. I wanna explore>, I back up and started running down the hall. I heard him behind me. I think he wanted to play. I liked playing. "Yip, yip!" I called, running around the corner.
"Engineering to Cap'n," i heard him say. "Porthos decided to explore Engineering again. and this time he's exploring the halls."
"On my way," I recognized my owners voice. he didn't sound happy. I ran faster. Taking a peek behind me to see Trip calling me, I suddenly felt something hard as I fell backward. A wall. Go me. I didn't stop there, I continued to ran until I realized I lost Trip. I hoped he wouldn't be mad at me. I traveled down the hall a little further. A human entered a small room ahead of me. I followed.
"You're cute. Where are you off to?" he asked. I didn't know him or his smell, but let him pet me. "Yip." The doors opened again to a new area. I ran out and instantly smelled food. I followed the smell into a big room. There weren't many humans there. One who wore a big white hat and gave out food. I suddenly had an interest in him. "Yip! Yip, yip!" <I want food!>
"Hello there." He bent down and gave me a little food, I didn't recognize, but it sure tasted good. I then trotted to another room, further .. much further from my last destination. <This exploration is fun>, I told myself. This place had a lot of weapon looking things in.
"Torpedo ready," I heard that British accented human say. He was fun to be around. Always caring and always willing to scratch my ears. I watched as the 'tor-peed-o' disappeared inside that big circular thing. <Cool. Wonder where it leads too.> I started to walk away when I heard him call me. "Porthos," his voice was cheery as he walked to me and rubbed my back and stomach.
<Wow. That feels good>, I said, rolling over for him to have more access. He's got the hands of ... of a god.
"Reed to Archer," I heard him say.
<Uh-oh.> I rolled over and took off out the door.
"Porthos is down here. But he.." he faded away as I turned a corner.
After walking around corners and in that thing that takes me to other places, I walked into a big room with lots of people and a big window ahead of me. I saw a human sitting in front of me. I recognized his smell. My owner. I turned, trying to get back inside the thing that brought me here. I whimpered, hoping it would open. I shouldn't have whimpered. No, bad thing to do.

"Porthos," I heard him say. "Are you listening to me?" I turned my head from the door to my owner. "You ever leave again, and I'll never let you out again. Understood?"
I knew I shouldn't have whimpered.
