Ali put her fingers on the lower keys and began playing with Ryley playing the pauses this time like Ryley had shown her, she played each note carefully yet in time with Ryley. “Like this Uncle Alexx?” She asked as she played.Ali
uncle Alexx he pondered as he watched her play, hands more or less on autopilot at the keys. It was a term he had come to accept from Ali. He thought back to the madness of the day she was born, the day he had delivered her and nearly lost both mother and baby. Sickbay going frantic the EMH yelling and Mastleen, the councillor yelling obscenities in return while Jacen tried to restore order and power. The blood and the shirt that had been ruined in the process. The corners of his mouth twitched up ever so slightly and he rolled his eyes at the flare of warmth the little girl illicited in him.
“That’s it kiddo. You got it” he finished playing and looked at her.
Ryley
M.D.Ali looked at Ryley and smiled “Thank you, Uncle Alex. I want to be able to play like you one day.” She said “Mommy says it will take a lot of practice to be that good.” Ali added “She also said that this will help keep me out of trouble.” Ali gave a sly smile “At least for a little bit.” She added as she began the piece from the beginning and started playing through it again, following Ryley’s instructions.
Ali
Ryley watched her play herself this time. “I got a lot of years on you squirt.” He replied. “And from what I hear you and your new friend seem to be in need of things to keep you or of trouble. Running around the ship causing all sorts of mischief.” He raised his eyebrows and watched her.
Ryley
M.D.Ali looked at Ryley “What are you talking about?” She asked “I haven’t been doing anything.” She said coyly, knowing that Ryley knew everything that went on on the ship. “Mom doesn’t know?”
Ali
Still watching her he didn’t seem overly concerned as if he endorsed mischief but obviously being a responsible adult he wasn’t at liberty to encourage such behaviour. “Not yet but keep going and she will. Don’t worry I’m not going to tell her I’m not your keeper.” He turned back to the piano and played a new tune for a bit.
Ryley
M.D.Ali gave Ryley a smile “Thank you Uncle Alexx.” She said as she listened to him play. She wanted to learn to play as well as he did. She knew she wasn’t allowed to touch his piano but she could play on the school piano. “Where did you learn to play?” She asked.
Ali
He considered a moment giving her a generic answer but instead found himself telling the truth. “My mother taught me.” He continued to play, a simply tune that he had learned years ago. “I must have been oh…four or so. She thought It would keep me out of trouble if I had something for my hands and brain to do. Pity it didn’t work for long.”
Looking at her again he considered the girl and the amount she had been through in her short years. “So what’s up with this new kid.”
Ryley
M.D.Ali looked at Ryley “Maybelle?” She asked “She’s fun to be around.” She said “I feel like I can be myself.” She said as she listened to Ryley playing the simple tune and she shrugged “I don’t have a lot of friends, and she seems to like me.....” Ali’s voice trailed off “Uncle Alexx, am I weird?”
Ali
He could understand that, he sighed slightly, a short exhale as the song came to an end and his hands rested on they keys. “Friends like that are good or at least so they tell me.”
As her voice trailed off he looked at her again and considered the question. “Yep. You are about as weird as they come kid. But dont worry about it, the whole premise of star-fleet and what we do is to look for the unknown and the weird. Its a constantly changing boundary.” He shrugged at her. “Besides weird is kool, normal is boring, overrated and subjective.”

Ali looked at Ryley and started playing the song that he had played, she was able to pick up most of it from just hearing it one time “I just wanna be normal. Mommy doesn’t understand what my brain feels like with everything in it.” She said as she played “The music helps make them quiet.” She said finally without looking at Ryley.
