[Pinoko's sitting and having a little snack when she stops to look at someone off-screen.]

Well, I don't know... the lasht time Pinoko drank shomething like that, she took a twain to Honmachi and wound up over the Doc's knee.

What's that? Ooh, it shmells like fruitsh! That's way nicher than all that shmelly beer.

[Then, she grins.] Well, maybe half a drink won't hurt!

[She takes a sip of the clear fruit brandy, then blushes and smiles.] Yum! Thish tashtes really shweet! [She finishes her glass.] How 'bout another?

[Another glass? Really, with her size?]

Hic! [Her head nearly drops onto the table, so she quickly lifts it up and leans her cheek on her hand, smiling sleepily.

She's lazily playing with a clover leaf before dropping it into her glass.] Oopsh. Bye-bye, little clover... [She leaaaans into her glass, shutting one eye and staring into it with the other.] Hope the dwink doesn't dull your magic! [When she moves away, she waves half-heartedly at the glass.]

Phew, it's hot in here... don't you guys have any air conditioning? Pinoko's gonna shtep outshide and get shome fresh aiiiir. Hic!

[She hops down, only her two top ribbons visible to the camera now as she seems to have forgetten her communicator. She takes two wobbly steps away from the stool, then stops.] Never mind, Pinoko's gotta go potty! Oooh, where's the ladies room?!

[She runs off before getting an answer.] Outta Pinoko's waaaaay!

[A few minutes pass and she still hasn't come back for her communicator. Oops.]

[Uhura's on her way to visit Chekov at the hospital when she sees someone giving PInoko a drink.

What the hell?!?!

She storms over to the person, and hell hath no fury like.]

What do you think you're doing?!

[Who gets a little girl DRUNK like that?!]

[You know, the patron would've either picked a fight with Uhura or attempted explaining himself (Eau-de-Vie is as harmless as giving a kid eggnog! ... of course, he probably should have stopped after the first cup), but he isn't inebriated enough to not see that would be a tremendously bad hand to play.

Soe'll probably duck away and run off before she can get a good look at him instead, while Pinoko's makes her meandering way back. So, Uhura, going to go after the guy or deal with the confused and tipsy Pinoko?]

Awww, Nyo-chan, where'd the mishter go? Hic! Was Pinoko gone too long?

[Ain't she just a bubble of trustful naivete? ~~I'd love to say this is the first time she's wound up in a situation like this, but it's not.~~]

[Confused and tipsy Pinoko gets top billing, always. Uhura squats down and lays steadying hands on the young girl's shoulders.]

Pinoko-chan, do you know that man?

Hic! Sure I do, I met him just todayyy... [She burps and it takes her a second to realize that she did, covering her mouth a bit late.] 'Shcuse me!

... wait, did Pinoko jusht get ditched?

[Yes. Because the man had excellent survival instincts.]

Pinoko, you shouldn't accept drinks from strangers.

Aw, you're shtarting to shound like Doc! He wasn't a complete shtranger, 'cause we talked a little and he even told Pinoko his name!

Beshides, a guy that cute can't be bad. [Blissful smile~

It's either the brandy speaking or she's really that clueless. ... maybe it's a combination of both.]

[............oh dear.]

How old are you, Pinoko-chan?

Jusht turned twenty thish pasht shpring, why? Are you planning on gettin' me a birthda— [She yawns loudly, before sitting down beside Uhura, leaning against her leg sleepily.]

We've got emergenchy candles in shtorage, mind getting sho... [She dozes off mid-sentence.]

........................................................................................what?!

[THERE IS NO WAY PINOKO IS THE SAME AGE AS HER. NO WAY.]

[She wakes up from her short-lived nap when Uhura finally reacts.] What is it? [She sounds somewhat annoyed, rubbing at her eyes.]

Couldn't you tell? Don't you shee the fair maiden right before you?

No, I do. I do. [The fair maiden in front of her looks like she's 6 years old. Tops.]
