Kathryn Janeway gasped as Chakotay took her hand and kissed it. "My dearest Kathryn," he murmured lovingly. Her eyes widened and she began to blush as she realised that nearly the entire senior staff were watching them with amused expressions. Torres and Seven were wearing short skirts and waving pom-poms, cheering Chakotay on. Harry and Tom were dividing their time between ogling B'Elanna and Seven with wolf whistles and urging Chakotay on as he kissed her once more.
"What is going on?" she demanded, pushing herself up and out of her chair. Her First Officer came up behind her, encircling her in his arms and leaning around to plant a kiss on her cheek.
"Just relax," Chakotay whispered between kisses as Tuvok and Neelix entered the bridge in pink tutus, closely followed by The Doctor, who launched into a Klingon drinking song with Seven. Inspired, B'Elanna snatched up her bat'leth and began chasing Paris around the bridge whilst Neelix and Tuvok performed a graceful pas de deux, accompanied by Harry on the clarinet.
"Shall we dance?" Chakotay asked formally, and gave her no time to reply as he pulled her close to him and began whirling her round and round, faster and faster and faster and fasterandfasterandfasterandfasterand-
"Leave her alone!" Neelix roared, pulling the two apart roughly. As Neelix bore down on her, lips puckered for a kiss, Kathryn closed her eyes and screamed-
"Captain?"
Her eyes flew open again, and she found herself looking into the concerned faces of Paris, Chakotay and The Doctor.
"Chakotay... Tom... what...?" she asked groggily.
Tom smirked. "You fell asleep. And to think I was worried about finding someone else to play Constance Goodheart..." He shook his head in outright amazement and awe.
"We couldn't wake you up," the EMH added. "Your brainwave patterns suggested you were dreaming." He narrowed his eyes. "Have you been getting enough sleep recently?"
"Whatever you dreamt, it must have been frightening, especially if that scream was anything to go by," Chakotay joked, wishing that the ringing in his ears would shut up and go away. "Do you want to talk about it?"
"Uh, no, I think not." With a single deathglare, she sent them scurrying back to their posts like frightened bunny rabbits.
"So, what happened?" Chakotay asked in a whisper, leaning towards her.
"Believe me," Janeway said with a shudder as she tried to banish the image of Neelix in a tutu from her memory, "You don't want to know."
