Earlier a gargantuan woman had entered his store, pissing and moaning about her dress ripping at the seams when she had tried it on. Gee, I wonder why?
Garak gushed politeness the whole time. He apologized to godzilla and told her he would have the dress fixed by 0900 tomorrow morning. Through out the whole thing, she was standing there rudely talking about his parentage. Bitch is lucky I didn't vaporize her, He thought to himself afterwards.
Just than, Bashir came pimping through the door. Garak looked up from his work and gave his husband a big smile. Julian walked over to Garak, "Making a new bedspread?" He asked looking down at the huge piece of fabric Garak was hemming up. Grinning, "Nope. This is a dress for one of my...customers."
Raising an eyebrow, "Damn. Must be one hell of a gal."
Sighing dramatically, "You have no idea."
Leaning over, Bashir gave his reptilian husband a kiss. "So are we still on for tonight?" Julian asked taking a seat in one of the chairs that were normally reserved for waiting customers.
"Of course. I wouldn't miss it for the world," Garak replied blowing Julian a kiss.
Their disgustingly sweet repartee was suddenly interrupted when they both heard loud sounds coming from the promenade. Wondering just what those sounds were, they got up and stuck their heads out the door. What they saw made them both gasp. Everyone outside were running for their lives. Being too stupid to know any better, they walked out into the promenade. The newlyweds turned their heads towards the source of the commotion. Eyes bugging out if their sockets, "Oh, no," they said together.
Before either of them could run back into Garak's shop, Odo came running up to them. "Doctor! I need you to run to Ops and let the Captain know what has happened," Odo began when Julian interrupted him, "What?! Why?"
Keeping his eyes on the creature coming out of the vortex, "I tried using my communicator, but communications are down."
Giving Odo a murderous look, "Constable, Julian is in no condition to go running around the station!"
"Look. I'm needed here and you're not as young as you used to be," Odo shouted so he could be heard over the screams and cries of the station. Garak and Odo continued arguing with each other when Julian cried out, "Enough!"
The Cardassian and the shapeshifter halted their bickering and looked over at Julian. Seeing his chance, "Garak, I'm not made out of glass. I'll be fine." Knowing he made his point, he turned to face Odo. "Do what you need to do. I'll let Captain Sisko and the others know what has happened." With that he gave Garak one last kiss before running towards the closest turbolift.

"Hey, Captain!"
Sisko was in his office going over some boring ass reports, when he heard Kira bellowing for him. Getting out of his chair with a sigh, he threw the PADD onto his desk and walked out the door.
Sighing, "You rang?"
Kira looked up from her console, "Yeah. Sensors just picked up a spatial anomaly outside."
Sisko walked down the stairs, almost tripping over a toolkit that some lowly crewman left. Cursing to himself, he sashayed over to the Major. "You called me for this?" He asked a trifle miffed at almost having broken his neck.
Stifling a giggle, "Benjamin, we also detected some tacyon particles emanating from the promenade," Dax chimed in.
"Oh?" Was all Sisko asked before Bashir came running into Ops at warp speed. He scaled one of the consoles, before coming to a halt in front of Sisko.
Jumping up and down with nervous energy, "Captain!" Bashir yelled standing nose to nose with Sisko. Throwing his hands up to his ears, "Doctor, I may be getting up in the years, but I'm not deaf."
"Sorry, sir," Bashir apologised. "But you'll never believe what came out of the vortex."
