Tell me about a story I never wrote, (eg, "The one where Uncle Scrooge McDuck meets Lucy van Pelt") and I'll write you a snippet from it.

Snippets will be 100-500 words, unless they're not.

Rules:
1. One per customer
2. Your request should begin: "The one where..."
4. Keep to DCU, Marvel, BSG Voyager, Buffy, classic comi characters, or Harry Potter, since I'm no good with much of anything else.

Hey, did I say Battlestar Galactica? Huh? Did I?

This thing is getting weirder by the minute.

Doesn't "BSG" stand for Battlestar Galactica?

How did that happen? I'm really sorry, that should have been ST.

Maybe some part of your brain really wanted to write about the BSG universe?

Alright, how about the one where Paris breaks the Temporal Prime Directive and ends up arriving at the Quidditch World Cup.

"No," said a new voice, "I don't think you should."
The Lieutenant groaned. He knew that voice all too well. He opened his one good eye, and saw her.
"As his commanding officer, I think he has earned this and would not like him to be healed too painlessly. After all, if he were, I would have to think some suitable punishment for his bone-headedness. Just letting him enjoy its fruits saves me the trouble." It was amazing, thought Tom Parris, how Captain Janeaway always seemed to hold the centre ground wherever she was, without trying, hardly even noticing..
"Madam, you may be an officer, but I am the Healer here, and I say..."
"Would you like to discuss it with his physician?"
And before she had completed the sentence, the Doctor was standing by her side. For a few seconds there was total silence, as Madam Pomfrey's eyes swept up and down this new figure; then -
"You are a glamour! You are not a human being at all."
"Quite possibly," answered the hologram in his most ironic tone, "But I think you will find that I am nevertheless a competent and fully qualified medical person."
"Is that so?" answered Madam Pomfrey, nettled. "In that case..." and the discussion became technical, with Tom, Captain Janeaway and all other bystanders barely able able to understand a word in twenty.

Finally, the discussion ended. Madam Pomfrey turned to Captain Janeaway and said: "Very well. I am satisfied that your man here will be under competent medical attention. I don't much like it, but I will let his injuries be cured by natural means, under your doctor's supervision."
"Besides," she said in a lighter tone, "I rather like your way of dealing with headstrong crew members. I could almost consider using it with one or two of my students... but the Headmaster would not approve, of course."
