"Go to Hell, it's warmer there" said Washu, putting on her bikini.
"Oh, I have alreadly been to Jean-Luc" said Q. "he said no also. But, don't you want to return to your normal size?"
"Would you like to go to the Great Beyond?" said Washu through clenched teeth.
"Ah, I know you to well" said Q, shaking a finger at Washu. "you won't break your vow just to send me to the Great Beyond"
Tenchi was getting dressed, ignored by this Q person and Washu.
"And The Enterprise is hardly hell" said Washu.
"And you know that Jean-Luc doesn't accept me" said Q.
"Who does accept you?" asked Washu, her voice icy.
"Whales" said Q. "I get along terribly good with whales"
"Then be a whale and get out" said Washu.
"May I ask a question?" asked Tenchi. "how's come that the Q can't detect you if you're here?"
Q turned to Tenchi. "Washu's lab is protected by more than walls, my dear Tenchi"
"Don't you call him dear!" snapped Washu.
"Okay" said Q, turning back to Washu. "how about I call you dear?"
Washu glared at Q. Washu summoned her laptop right away. Q, seeing this, snapped his fingers and her laptop was gone.
"No turning into a water sprite for me" said Q in mocking tones.
"I told you.." started Washu.
"I suppose you have to wait for your son to arrive IN A WEEK to return to normal size"
"A week isn't that long a time" said Washu.
"So true" said Q. "in a mere week, The Enterprise would've traveled through 8 wormholes, battled with various foes, including The Borg, discover the meaning of life....oh, they won't discover that until the end, will they?"
"What end?" asked Tenchi.
Washu sighed heavily.
"Okay, you can stay for 200 years" said Washu.
"5000" said Q.
"200 years" repeated Washu.
"2000"
"200 years" said Washu. "you said a COUPLE of centuries!"
"400 Years and that's my final offer" said Q.
"It's either 200 years or your ass is off to the Great Beyond" said Washu.
"Okay, okay" said Q. "you drive a hard bargain...and I keep my word" Q snapped his fingers, and Washu was back to her normal height.
"Okay, if you're going to stay here" said Washu. "we need to go over a few rules"
"Quite right" said Q, turning to Tenchi. "be sure she goes to bed at midnight, and no matter how much she pleas with you, she takes her medicine PROMPTY at..."
"I meant rules for YOU" said Washu, through clenched teeth.
"I don't need rules" said Q. "it's a free cosmos"
