Disclaimer: I don't own shit. Hahaha. Pretend that it took Voyager just a little bit longer to get home. This takes place somewhere around season 6 and 7 so maybe it takes like a year more to get back home I'm not sure how this time line would fit in. Anyway around then then. Janeway/Seven- great couple and I ship them with all my heart, not even a little bit J/C ever nope. I mean I was a J/C till I watched more videos and episodes, then J/7 all the way. Yep so enjoy, you can trust me to bring them together.

Seven's first real laugh

It was in the messhall one normal run of the mill day on Voyager in the messhall soon became a legend among the senior officers aboard Voyager. It was a calm lunch time, the blurring image of Neelix buzzing around faded in and out of sight, as Seven worked on her report for the Captain on what Astrometrics had come up with new course corrections ect. Then it happened, on the other end of the messhall, where Tom and B'lanna were sitting. Tom threw a little orange at Harry, at the table near by.

Harry didn't catch it, it hit him square in the head. Seven was watching and once that orange hit Harry's head there was a soft giggle that came from her mouth. Before long it became a chuckle then a full out roar of a laugh. Everyone in the Messhall turned and looked at her.

"What it is?" She asked them. "Do you require something?"

"You just laughed" Tom pointed at her, she nodded.

"Yes, why would that be strange?"

"You've never done that before." Seven lifted an eyebrow, why was human kind so stupid, and why was she part of it. Then she thought a bit, there is only one human, that wasn't stupid or annoying or something wrong with them, and that was Captain Janeway. Perhaps it was the fact that the woman saved her from the Borg, but those blue gray eyes, and auburn hair, nope nothing to do with it.

"Come in" Chakotay walked into Captain Janeway's ready room, she was reading the newest scematics for the warp core, she briefly looked up as he came in.

"What is it Chakotay?"

"Well I just I'd let you know, Seven laughed today" This actually took her attention away from the data pad.

"What?"

"She laughed."

"At what?"

"Tom threw an orange at Harry"

"What?"

"Accident"

"Okay, well I'm sorry I missed it"

"You really seem to be" He looked at her strangely because usually she wasn't so enthusiastic. Right now though she looked almost sad, her eyes were narrowed slightly her brow creased and there was nearly a pout on her lips.
