Disclaimer: Star Trek is not mine. If it were I'd be jumping for joy.
Vixey and her group are mine.

Captain Picard sighed as he sat in his chair on the bridge. It had been a year ago that Khan had come aboard to stay with Vixey. But 9 months ago, Khan had received an urgent coded message from his home planet stating that they were under attack. He had tearfully said good-bye to Vixey and his son Solan and left. Soon after, Vixey had fainted on duty. She had been rushed to sickbay and reported that she had felt Khan die. Since then, she hadn't been the same. As he watched her, now at her post beside Riker, he noticed that she kept putting her hand to her forehead as if she had a headache. Finally he couldn't take it. "Vixey is there something wrong?" Vixey sat up as if startled. "Hmm? Captain did you say something?"
"I asked if there was something wrong."
"Oh, I don't know really, I just feel strange. I know what you're thinking. It's not Khan's death, its something else. I don't know what yet, A presence maybe. I'm sure it will come to me eventually." She continued staring at the view screen. Riker leaned over to her. "I know how it feels like to lose someone you love. If you need to talk about it, I'm here." She smiled at him and turned back to her thinking. It wasn't as if she didn't appreciate the comfort the crew had given her in the last few weeks, she just wasn't sure how to feel. It was like someone had ripped out part of her heart. She just felt like there was an empty hole where Khan had been. This feeling puzzled her. She had never felt like this before. No, wait, she had. When her first true love Alec had died. Deanna looked at Vixey and saw realization on her face. She felt Vixey's pain, could see the anguish on her face, and yet there was another unfamiliar feeling there. She probed deeper, trying to get a better view. Then she felt it, pain ran through her head. Not severe, just pain. Vixey turned to her, "I'm sorry Deanna, my brain sensed an invader and reacted. I hope it didn't hurt you too much."
"No," she grimaced, "I'm alright."
Telepathically, Vixey explained that her chemistry prevented people from searching her mind without her permission. Her shift over, Vixey Left the Bridge and went to ten forward. Data, Worf and Riker sat with her. Riker asked her about her past relationships. Vixey started with Alec. "Alec was a human visiting different planets until finally stopping at Archania. Our relationship lasted two years and we made plans to marry. Those plans were ripped apart by Lex Archane in a jealous rage. He wanted me and would anything to get me. He started a fire in Alec's lab and killed him." Then she moved to Paul. They knew that story so there wasn't much to say. "Then there was Khan and you know that story as well. Then Rex the Tyranian came into place. The Tyraninans are a dinosaur-like race. That lasted for a year and a half before he decided that he wasn't ready for an Archanian relationship. Then to Norman the Viking. Norman was from earth and he had Viking in his blood from centuries ago and recently had utilized it to his advantage. He wanted to stay on earth, I wanted to travel." She continued on with different species from Draconians to Ferengi. "One of my best friends is a Ferengi named Quark. He lives on Deep Space Nine. We were lovers for a short time." She blushed as she said it. "He and I are very close now. As a matter of fact, all my exes and I are friends." Riker looked puzzled. " You really stay friends with your ex-lovers?" She nodded, "Yes I do. Its how I came to have so many friends." Data looked very interested. "Please continue, I am fascinated with humanoid mating rituals."
She laughed, for the first time since Khan's demise, she laughed. To Commander Riker, it was the most beautiful sound he had ever heard. "Its good to hear you laugh again." She gave him a thin smile. "It feels good to laugh." Worf looked irritated. "I don't see how Khan could have left like that." Vixey touched his arm. "Thanks Worf I needed that but if it were your home planet you would've dropped everything too. I know I would've. What about you Commander?" Riker sighed. "I don't know Vix, I have to agree with Worf, if I had a woman like you, I wouldn't' have left." He thought to himself that he could look into her emerald green eyes all day. She smiled and turned to Data. "What about you? What would you have done?" Data looked puzzled. "I can honestly say I don't know. I have no woman or home planet. However, my programming makes me protect and serve my Captain." Riker looked at her outfit. It was a plain red tank top and tight black pants. Her strap slipped down her shoulder and rested on her muscular yet feminine arm. She seemed not to notice it, but it was driving him crazy. It took every ounce of control he had to put it back into place, instead of just leaving it where it was. She looked astonished at his boldness. Suddenly, she shivered. Riker looked at her with concern. "Are you cold?" She shook her head. "No its just as if I--." She stopped and cocked her head as if listening to something. "I felt a great presence, a powerful being but its gone now. Maybe I'm just tired. I think I'll turn in." She stood up and Worf stood with her. "I will walk with if you don't mind." She shook her head. "Of course not, I will enjoy the company." As they left, Riker turned to Data. " He is obviously attracted to her." "Yes, Sir. But it is her Chemistry to attract men."
As they walked down the hall, they talked about their children. Worf told her of his son, Alexander and Vixey told him about her large family. As they reached his quarters, he was very tempted to ask her to stay. Finally he did. As she walked in his quarters, she noticed the Klingon weapons on the wall. The bat'leth, she recognized immediately, having used them herself. There were others she had never seen before. She could feel him trying to control his desire as he showed her the rest of his quarters, ending with the bedroom. Finally, he could stand it no longer. He tossed her onto the bed and began savagely kissing her. To his surprise, she kissed back, with a force that would make any Klingon female jealous. Just when she was starting to get into it, he broke free. "I'm sorry, I couldn't control myself. Your Pheromones seem to be in overdrive." She fixed her hair, which had been mussed and stood up. "Don't apologize, my scent is in level 10 which means it's that time of the month." He looked very confused. "Its very simple. Human females have a menstrual cycle every month, but for us, our pheromones go into overdrive. Maximum warp, if you will. Usually I can control them, but not during this time. I try to keep away from men, but I lost track of time and forgot. I'm sorry it had to ambush you." "Don't be," he said with a little smirk, "I am used to females ambushing me." She smiled and then yawned. "I should go, it's been a long day." He followed her to the door. " I said I'd walk you to your quarters and I will."
Too tired to persist, they made their way to her quarters. As he made his way in, he noticed that the room smelled of her perfume. "It's very kind of you to be so concerned of me. With Khan gone its like part of me is..well, missing. I don't know how to feel and." She stopped in mid- sentence. He frowned, "what is it?" She shook her head. "Its that presence again." Just then, the Captain beeped her. "Picard to Vixey." She tapped her communicator. "Vixey here." "Report to the bridge." "On my way." Worf was beeped as well. They made their way to the Bridge, not looking at each other.
