Summary: Tom Paris hears some strange goings on from the Captain's quarters :) This is assuming that Tom's quarters are next to the Captain's.
Author's Note: This came to me at 11.55pm last night after hearing my next door neighbours - it was not a pretty sound, believe me :\ Some spoilers for Memorial (only the one though)
Tom sat in his quarter's, waiting for B'Elanna to finish her shift. They were to meet in the Mess Hall at 2200 hours. Tom had an hour to kill.
He decided to watch his TV that B'Elanna had given him several weeks ago. Before turning on the TV, he decided that food was in order and made his way to the replicator.
"Warm, buttered popcorn"
It materialised in front of him and he made his way over to the couch and plucked the remote from down the side of the couch.
"Why do you do that? You'd think you had a mind of your own!"
Tom flicked the power button and the TV screen came to life.
"Okay, what have we got programmed in you today?"
He began flicking through the channels, not interested by anything in particular and he still had 45 minutes left.
"Computer..."
It beeped in recognition.
"...Find me a selection of 20th Century outrageous talk shows"
"Acknowledged...command complete."
"List them please"
"Jenny Jones, Sally Jessie Raphael, Jerry Springer, Ricki..."
"Jerry Springer! Computer add Jerry Springer collection to my TV"
"Acknowledged...command complete."
"Good...lets see what we have here"
He flicked his channels once again and the roar of "Jer-ry, Jer-ry, Jer-ry..." was being chanted over and over again by the studio audience.
"This looks like fun" Tom snuggled further back into his couch all the while munching on his popcorn.
"Hello and welcome to today's show and our guests today are here to talk about confessions *thunderous clapping*"
*THUMP*
Tom's head shot to the wall separating his quarters and the captain's.
All was quiet again. Tom turned back to the TV screen.
*THUMP THUMP* "Oh dear God!" came a distinct female voice.
Tom's eyes went wide and his head turned slowly to face the wall again. 'That couldn't be' he thought to himself.
*THUMP* "Aaaah...ooohhh..." *THUMP* "right...right...right therree...aaah."
Tom stared at the wall for several minutes listening to the goings on, on the other side.
'Why do these things happen when I'm alone?' his mind screamed.
"Dear God...you're amazing." *Oomph*
Tom placed his popcorn on the floor and made his way to the wall. He placed his ear carefully against the wall, listening. It had gone very quiet again.
"Mmmm...yes...Yes...YES...OH DEAR GOD YES"
'Well that's the Captain alright, but who's with her?' Tom would soon get his answer.
"Sweet spirits, Kathryn!" *THUMP*
Tom pulled his ear from the wall.
'NO...that couldn't be him.'
"Oh Chakotay!"
"Kathryn"
Tom made for his door and out of his quarters.
'Boy have I got some info for you B'Elanna...and I'm gonna rake in the rations!'
Tom never heard the hysterical laughing coming from his captain's quarters.
Go to part 2!
Make of that what you will!!! :)
