When an Ensign's nervous
by Powerbluegirl


"Neelix to the Captain"
"Janeway here"
"Captain, I'm in astrometrics, and I just detected an M class planet with many edible plants and roots. I have lots of recipes that would make a delectable soup of some sort out of them!"
"Thank you Neelix, I'll send an away team, Janeway out."

*Now lets see,* she thought to herself. *Who shall I send this time?*
She whipped out a PADD she conveniently keep in her back pocket. It had a check list of all the crew who had recently done an away mission.
*Oh no, the only other person besides myself who hasn't done one recently is-*
She slowly turned her head towards young Harry Kim. He was twiddling his thumbs innocently humming "Yankee Doodle Dandy".
*Great*
"Alright, Ensign, your with me."

Harry slowly turned his head and pointed at himself mouthing, me?
"Yes, you. Now lets get going ensign."
"YA!" He screamed as he skipped out the door with Janeway.

"I have a bad feeling about this" Chakotay said to Tom.

"Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy! Oh boy!"
"STOP IT!" Janeway screamed.
"ok," he mumbled

After what seemed like hours to Janeway, they finnaly took of in the Delta Flyer.

"Kathryn?"
Janeway snapped. She whipped around and said in that death tone, "WHAT DID YOU CALL ME?"
"um, Kathryn?"
"ONLY CHAKOTAY CALLS ME KATHRYN!"
"I'm sorry."
"You should be. Now, what did you want?"
"How do you fly this thing?"
"Harry, you should know. You helped design this vessel."
"BUT I'M NERVOUS!"
"Uh, just let me land this thing!"
"oops."
"HARRY!"
"yes?"
"WHAT'S OOPS!"
"Just tell me one thing Kath- I mean Captain."
"What?"
"What does the little red button do?"
"You didn't."

Just then, the vessel dived down at an incredible speed. The ground was spinning before Janeways' eyes, coming closer and closer, and she was helpless to stop it. When it seemed like curtains for them, Harry intelligently said, "Wonder if this big green button labeled "In case of emergency" will help." He pressed it just in the nick of time. All systems came back and they landed safely, but many systems were damaged. Such as, warp drive and transporters.

"Why didn't I know about that green button?" Janeway said.
"I installed it before we left!"
"But you said you knew nothing about the ship!"
"Details, details! LETS GET SOME PLANTS!"
"Great."

"Thats too deadly, that'll taste bad, that looks too green, eww, I wouldn't eat that! Nope, too high in cholesterol!"

"HARRY! Stop telling me everything that's showing up on your scanner!"
"SORRY!"
"No your not."
"Harry, there's something you should know."
"What?"
"We could be in a life or death situation, and- and- Voyager may have a hard time finding us. Neelix warned me of this before we came. So I just- HARRY!"
She turned to see him with his face smothered in a purple compound of some sort. In a muffled voice he replied, "You say something?"

"*sigh* no."
"OKEE!"

All of a sudden, Janeway heard a loud explosion.

"HARRY!"
"Yes?" He said innocently as he was sweeping up ashes on the ground in a little dust pan.
"Where's the ship?"
"You mean this ship?" he said as he held out a little yearn that held the ships ashes.
"How did- what was- what made- I don't- great."

One month later, *and yes, Voyager was still trying to beam them up* Harry was walking through the forest fully nourished by his random eating of plants, reading a book, when a tattered up Janeway stopped him.
"Where'd you get that?"
"Over there."

Janeway looked up. There, right in front of her, was a whole town market of food, nick knacks, and of course trans warp ships.
"*gasp* and HOW long have you known about this little market Harry!"
"Eh, about one day after we got here. I bought a date!"
"WHY YOU LITTLE!"


The End!
