The challenge was issued as follows: 1. Must be written in either descriptive exposition or dialogue--but not both. 2. May not use the terms "Betazoid", "Imzadi", "Rabeem", or any other term from the language of Betazed. 3. Must use the words, "genuflect", "regalia", "crystalline", "indigo", and "moon". 4. Must end with a surprise--anything will do. 5. May be rated anything from G to NC-17, but if sexual activity is involved, it must be described with a tantalizingly frustrating amount of restraint! ....Okay, I just HAD to try. You know, me. I rarely turn down a challenge. :-) My result is A Miracle in the Moonlight.
