Have you ever had a pet?

by jamaharon

Summary

The Federation encyclopedia defines an Andorian pelt-slug as a flat, flesh-colored creature about as thick as an epidermal layer, covered in densely-curled hair. The Andorian pelt-slug is cold-blooded and ideally needs skin-to-skin contact at all times to achieve the ideal body temperature.

They are not approved on Starfleet vessels.

"If we could all have pets, what would you choose?"

Riker looked at Geordi in surprise. "I do have a pet," he said.

"Since when?"

"Since my first day," Riker said. He glanced around the table. "You didn't know?"

"You do not have a pet," said Beverly.

Slowly, Riker unbuttoned his uniform tunic. He pulled his undershirt up to expose the thick mat of hair on his chest. "It's an Andorian pelt-slug," he said, coaxing the chest hair onto his finger. It slid away from his nipples, leaving him totally waxed. "Pretty cute, huh?"

"I'm gonna be sick," Geordi said.
