Ms. Harris stood in front of the Grade Seven kids and read from the assignment. She looked out, "Brenna, you need to listen."
Brenna frowned and looked at the teacher, straightening up.
Ms. Harris continued with the assignment, "Each student is required to compare their mother or father to a legendary Captain in Star Fleet from Captain Archer and the original Enterprise, to Kirk, to Picard, to Janeway, or to Captain William Hunt and the USS Wrath of Achilles or Captain John Warren and the USS Quasar Quest or even to our own Commodore Vincent Viceroy and Governor's Station or this place, the Phoenix Colony. Each presentation will be approximately 5 minutes in length and will be given tomorrow."
Brenna and the class grumbled about the homework assignment but took it home to complete the task.
One by one, the students went through their presentation until it came to little Brenna. The pretty young thing got up in front of the class. Most students were convinced that Brenna would compare her mother to Admiral Janeway, a strong willed iron lady with great conviction. Most of the students are only familiar with the public face of Vice President Nicole Branson and not the underneath politics of the S'Fala incident or the Admiral Bruce Montgomery history.
"My name is Brenna Montgomery and my mother is Vice President Nicole Branson. The Star Fleet Captain I would like to compare your mother too is Captain James T. Kirk.", Brenna smiled.
There was a gasp in the classroom. Ms. Harris looked at Brenna, "Why would you chose Captain Kirk? Is it because of his legendary status as Captain of the Enterprise?"
Brenna looked at Ms. Harris, "No."
"Then why dear?", Ms. Harris asked.
"Because Captain Kirk was always screwing up but still managed to land on his feet. That is just like my mom.", Brenna stated matter-of-factly.
The classroom erupted with laughter. Brenna did not get the joke. She was only twelve but Ms. Harris had to regain her composure before she could speak.
"Captain Kirk is one of the finest Captains in Star Fleet. It is a nice comparison to your mother, my dear.", Ms. Harris struggled to keep from laughing over Brenna's comment.
"Is there another reason why you compare your mother to the namesake for our school?", Ms. Harris asked, half afraid of the answer.
She had every reason to be afraid.
Brenna looked out at the classroom and blurted out, with the lack of censorship of a child, "Yes, like Captain Kirk, my mom has a great ability to bed hot alien babes like my other mom, Dr. Magenta Coren-Branson."
The entire classroom erupted with laughter. Ms. Harris scolded the children about their laughter but Brenna was proud of her last statement. She smiled and headed for her seat.
"Brenna, I don't think that Dr. Coren-Branson, head of the Yang Liwei Institute and a teacher at the Omega Academy would be very happy to be class a "hot alien babe".", Ms. Harris corrected.
Brenna sat in her desk and smiled, "Yes she would."
"Brenna, why would you say such a thing?", Ms. Harris responded, finding the comment a bit degrading.
"I heard her say it to my mom last night.", Brenna responded. Children have no censorship. They do not have anything to hide.
"Oh my goodness, say what?", Ms. Harris responded. Inside, she secretly wished she would never have asked the question.
"Mommy Magenta was heading up the stairs after my mom told her she was beautiful. She looked at my mom and responded, 'You are only saying that because you wanna tap this hot alien ass'", Brenna simply stated.
The classroom erupted into laughter once more. Ms. Harris glared at Brenna, "Your language is highly inappropriate. You need to stand outside the classroom."
Brenna stopped from the room, "It is what she said..."
