Life Just Ain't Fair

"I should have stayed in bed," Kathryn thought as she passed yet another crew member who had to suppress a giggle. She shot him an angry look, sighed and quickened her pace to hurry back to her quarters.

"Just my luck that the transporters went offline as soon as the shuttle hit the floor on Voyager," she mumbled as she rounded yet another corner and found herself colliding with something. Something that was tall, breathing, clad in a red uniform, handsome, tattoo on forehead…

She closed her eyes and stifled another sigh.

"Hi," she greeted lamely as she tried to sidestep him.

"Hi back," he grinned as he blocked her path again. "How did it go?"

"Quite nicely," she answered with a strangled voice. "Seems it was quite a success. Naomi and the other children had great fun. They missed you though and said you did a better job than me the last time with your idea of doing a Punch and Judy show."

"I'm sorry," he said as his face distorted into a grimace. "But you know, my back was hurting again and the Doctor said no strenuous activity. I'm really sorry I had to quit last minute, but I really think you're looking way too cute!" he pointed out as he let his dimples show.

"I'm not cute," she mumbled between clenched teeth as she again tried to push her way past him.

"Tell me, what was your name again?" he asked as he poked her in her purple coloured belly. "Tinky – Tonky?" he shouted, laughing, as she finally worked her way past him and rounded the next corner at a fast pace.

She ran back to him, hit him over the head with her purse, brought her face close to his and hissed, "I'm called Tinky – Winky!"
