Contest: ENTER February/March 2020 challenge - Friends and Foils

[Count Zero]

The winner of the last contest, @SLWatson, is currently swept up with irl stuff but told me the new challenge theme so I'll do the thread this time.

This challenge's theme is:
Friends and Foils: There are some great friendships in various Trek canons and Expanded Universes. Write a new story or share an older story about a time when one friend acted as a foil to another; could be in a good way -- stopping them doing something they'd regret! -- or in a not-as-good way -- accidentally or purposefully sabotaging a promotion, date, whatever else. Most importantly, have fun!

Write as many or few words as you like.

The deadline is March 31st, at about 11 pm CET, but if there's a need for a bit more time you can say so in this thread.

So, is anyone working on an entry for this challenge?

I know we all have a lot on our plates right now so extending the deadline is definetely an option.

I have an idea for slight editing/rework of an older piece, just haven't had the time. Maybe extend deadline to end of the month?

Even though we now have two entries I'll wait a few more days. I'll put up the voting thread on March 31st in the evening (about 11 pm CET) unless anyone asks for another extension.
