Playing Around

by Holly

In The Ready Room

"You're doing it all wrong Kathryn," Chakotay said, somewhat distracted.

"Don't criticize me, you're not doing it right Mr. Big Shot." Kathryn countered. "Anyways, I read the directions."

"There're directions that come with this?" he asked surprised.

"Of course there are! How else would anyone know how to do it then?" she said.

"Kathryn, you're going the wrong way," he told her.

"No, you're going the wrong way. I'm doing it right." she answered back.

"You're not always right, and not everything you do is right. And right now, you're wrong." he informed her.

"Just because you can't do it, you don't have to try and say that it's me who can't do it,' Kathryn whined.

"Sure, fine, whatever," Chakotay mumbled.

"Chakotay, you do realize that you are suppose to go up, not down," Kathryn laughed.

"I'm going up, not down," he protested.

On The Bridge

"I wonder what they're doing in there?" Tom commented, breaking the silence that had engulfed the bridge.

"Mr. Paris it is none of your business," Tuvok coolly answered. "Though the logical assumption would be that they are going over reports."

Back In The Ready Room

"Chakotay, you're going down again," Kathryn commented. "Maybe I should find a new partner to play with."

"No one would play with you, they'd be too scared," he said with a smile.

"Ha, I won!" she yelled. "So, what's my prize?"

"A prize?" Chakotay asked, giving her his dimpled smile. "Well, I'll give you your prize if you throw away this stupid...what's it called again?"

"Nintendo," she said.

"Yeah, Nintendo. Throw it away, and I'll give you a prize." he said.

"Deal," she replied with a sultry smile as she picked up the Nintendo and put it in the recycler.

"Oh, and we need to remember to kill Tom for giving it to us," he added.

"Yeah, we will. So, what's my prize?" she asked as she walked over to him.

"Prize?" Chakotay questioned innocently.

"Uhoh," she said as they stood about an inch apart.

"Any suggestions?" he asked.

"Yeah, I coud think of one," she said as they shared a short but sweet kiss.

As it ended Kathryn looked up at Chakotay. "What, that's it?"

"You can have the rest of your prize later," he said as he walked towards the door. "My quarters, 2000 hours."

At that he left, leaving one very happy Captain behind.

The End
