Why this must be read:
This is a sweet, funny tale of the misadventures that occur when Riker and Troi visit Betazed to take part in a Betazoid betrothal ceremony. Lwaxana Troi steals the show, Deanna Troi saves the day, and it’s all great fun.
The ancestral home of the Fifth House of Betazed was a huge mansion. While Riker would normally have considered it too huge a home for a single person -- with or without manservant -- to occupy, Lwaxana Troi's overwhelming personality made the house seem far too small to contain the four of them for the next few days. In other words, Riker was not looking forward to spending that much time in such close quarters with his prospective mother-in-law, which was ridiculous, since he'd spent time with her aboard the Enterprise. But aboard the Enterprise, he had the excuse of duty to escape her attention, and without that excuse, he didn't think the entire planet of Betazed was large enough.
You're going to have to do better than that, Imzadi, in order to convince me that you're not nervous. Though her expression was neutral, Deanna's telepathic voice was amused. Riker thought it very unfair.
"I suppose we'd better get this over with," he said. "After all, it's not like she doesn't already know."
"True enough," Deanna agreed aloud. She had sent a subspace message to her mother the morning after his proposal and her acceptance. The reply had been short and sweet: About time, too. Come to Betazed for the betrothal.
