The party's over. The huge sphere is mostly deserted, except for the 
whirring and clicking of cleaning 'bots, working to restore order into 
chaos. The floor is littered with confetti, popped balloons, spilled 
drinks and other things that do not bear looking at too closely.

Stephen tilts his chair on its back legs and slowly sips his beer. "I 
think it went pretty well. Aside from one or two glitches, of course. 
But that's to be expected."

"No stabbings or phaser brawls," agrees Sara, watching one of the 'bots 
circle around the sleeping form of Morn a few yards away.

"What more could you ask for?" Seema says, pouring herself another 
margarita. She holds up the pitcher. "Anyone want a refill?" Sara shakes 
her head, but Rocky grabs the pitcher and takes a swig directly from it.
"Whoa, you'd better take it easy," Seema says. "You still have to get home."

"I could give you a lift," Stephen offers. "I've got a class II shuttle 
in orbit. Not much in terms of comfort, but it gets you where you're going."

"Which in my case, is a nice long quiet vacation," Seema says. "I'm 
exhausted."

"I wouldn't want to put you to any trouble," Rocky says.

"No tribble, I mean, no trouble at all," Stephen says. He frowns and 
looks at his glass. "Hey, did you notice that this stuff's green?"

"You've definitely been hanging around Scotty too long," Sara says. 
"Frankly, I don't think any of you are fit to pilot a vehicle. I'd 
sooner catch a ride with Chakotay."

"Now that's low," Stephen says.

Seema shrugs and downs another margarita.
"Here," Rocky says, fishing around in her bag and pulling out four 
slender cylinders. "Detox hypos. Courtesy of Doctor Crusher."

"Now you're talking," the others agree. They hoist their glasses high. 
"Here's to another successful awards season!"

"And wishing everyone another good year of fic!" Sara says.

"Oh, speaking of next year," Stephen says. He catches Seema's eye and 
she nods. "As you know, Seema's been the coordinator for a few years 
now, with Sara as her assistant, so we were wondering..."

Just then, Rocky's communicator beeps. "Uh, sorry, guys, got to go!" She 
beams away hastily.

"She'll be back," Stephen says confidently. "They always are."

Seema smiles and sips her drink.
