Disclaimer: Well, if Paramount wants to make this into a Voyager Episode, they're welcome… after all, the characters are theirs. I only own the story.

On Voyager, there was nothing more stressful than finding that there was Leola Root on that day's menu. That may have served to explain Harry's attitude.

"Ensign Kim, I am confused."

"Oh, really," said Harry snidely in response to Seven's plaintive comment.

Seven just looked more confused. "I do not understand why eating Leola Root is such a hardship for the crew."

Harry stabbed his fork into the Leola Root ice cream Neelix had served, splattering it all over the table.

"Would you please be more careful, Ensign. I have already had to change clothes once today."

"I'll splat ice cream wherever I want!" Harry yelled at her.

"If you do not wish to eat dinner with me…" Seven began, but was cut off by the remainder of the ice cream being dumped on her head.

Seven saw red. "That was impolite," she stated, throwing her chocolate cake at Harry. Harry, unfortunately, had been anticipating this, and ducked. Seven watched, horror-stricken, as the cake landed on B'Elanna's head. She and the half-klingon engineer did not function efficiently as it was.

B'Elanna growled, and swept up the gagh she had been attempting to force down for the Day of Honour. Seven, uninitiated in the human custom of food-fights, did not duck, and was soon covered in live worms. Tom, sitting with B'Elanna, started to laugh at the sight. Furious, Seven threw some of the worms at him.

Tom, though, had participated in many a food fight and saw it coming. Ducking, he laughed again.

The worms hit Tuvok squarely in the back of the head.

"Ooops," was all Paris said before leaping out of his chair and ducking under the table.

Tuvok picked up one of the worms and looked at it distastefully. Then he went on eating.

Paris breathed a huge sigh of relief but, nevertheless, remained under the table.

Seven looked at herself. "I must change again," she stated, before ramming the remainder of the food onto Harry's head, then heading for the door.

Harry came to his senses and threw a Porokan Egg after her.

B'Elanna picked up another one and threw it too.

Janeway and Chakotay froze as they walked into the messhall. Seven, covered in ice cream, pushed past them.

Chakotay's eagle eyes noticed the eggs heading in their direction and pulled the Captain to the ground beside him. 'I've always wanted to get her on the floor…' he thought to himself.

"What the…" she managed to gasp out before seeing the eggs smash against the opposite wall, totally destroying the paintwork.

Chakotay had decided to enter the fray. Picking up all the food he could find he chucked it in B'Elanna and Harry's direction. They ducked, and it all landed on Neelix. At Neelix's puzzled face, the entire room burst into laughter, with the notable exception of Tuvok who bent his head to hide the smile tugging at his lips. Neelix beamed at them. "What a wonderful, morale-boosting idea!" he cried picking up a sticky toffee apple and throwing it at Kim.

"FOOD FIGHT!" Paris yelled.

END.
