Endgame, start something way more fun Rating: PG 13

alternate to endgame much much much much better becuase everyone hated admiral janeway and the seven/ chakotay thing (at least they did if they had brains)!! plus who actually wanted them to get home so soon!! My stories will continue the series (unless they bomb and nobody likes them )!

disclaimer, fyi, no, I do not own the characters if you've seen them on tv obviously, but the rest of the characters and the plot THATS MINE well it is modeled off endgame but only JUST!! lol

Chapter 1 Title: The good, the bad, and the timetravelling

The Captain was pacing her ready room after the slight pinch of dissapointment felt after they had all decided it wasn't worth checking out that nebula.

Captains Personal Log:

We have passed a nebula that we believed may have held a wormhole, but the likelihood is slim and there are many risks therefore, we have decided against investigating further. I am starting to finally feel the long span of loneliness that has been building up since we got stranded in the delta quadrant and that slight bit of excitement was more then I could handle. I think I must finally give up my stupid parameters and let Chakotay in. First though I need to find out if I have waited too long, I mean who's to say he hasn't moved on and who could blame him if he did! I must invite him to dinner in my quarters and talk to him. end log.

"Chakotay to Janeway" the commbadge beeped

"Yes commander, I was just going to call you" she said knowing that he was in his quarters alone right now

"I have to go to a meeting with a member of the crew tonight but I was wondering if you would like to have dinner with me tommorrow night? It has been a while since we had dinner" he said trying to sound suave.

"I would love to but I can't tommorrow, Chakotay" she knew using his name instead of rank would let him know she wasn't blowing him off. "I have a million meetings tommorrow, could we do it the next night, are you free?"

"Time and place" he said and just hearing his voice she could tell he had one of his dimpled smiles on.

"1800 hours my quatrters?" she asked questionly, letting him know she was open to suggestions.

"Can't wait, Chakotay out" She smiled and started to plan what she was going to say, she had no idea that in his quarters he was doing the same.

2 days later

"Captain, I am picking a shuttlecraft coming towards us at high warp" Tom spoke, breaking the silence on the bridge.

"Can we tell who it is??" the captain responded looking worried.

"Captain, your not going to believe this but the warp signature is Starfleet!" said Harry looking very excited, he had been the most crushed after the mistaken possible wormhole. "I'm reading one lifesign, its an adolescent human female"

"On screen" The Captain stood staring at the ship.

"But but but thats the flyer, or should I say a heavily ammended version of the flyer!" Tom stuttered, staring at his "baby" in confusion.

"Captain, we are being hailed" Tuvok spoke in his vulcan way that made everything sound unimportant.

"On..." she was interrupted the second tuvok had obeyed her. The screen was showing a girl who looked to be about 16 and was quite obviously a very excited human, not wearing a starfleet uniform, with the Captain's exact color hair, and a grin that could rival Chakotays.

"hey, it worked I got back here!! Uncle Harry, what are you waiting for, beam me aboard, come on!!!" said the girl very fast.

The Captain looked at Harry, who had a stunned look on his face, but when she caught his eyes, he shook his head, telling her he had no idea who she was.

"Excuse me, but who are you?" said the Captain, trying and failing to look calm and unpreturbed.

"Whoops, sorry, I was so excited I forgot that in this time you guys don't know me, actually, you couldn't, I don't exist yet!" she said slower her wide grin faltering just a bit.

"I am from the future" she said her words taking on a slightly dull practiced sound in comparison to her normal voice that they had heard. "I came back to find you guys so I could bring you home much much safer cus the way your heading your journey will take another 14 years and you lose many more crew members, the way I am offering you could be home.. well I can't give you a definate but my way would take less time and save a lot of lives. Although I liked growing up on voyager" she added as an afterthought.

Kathryn looked over at Chakotay, they both knew they were hardly daring to believe what she was saying could be true. When she looked back at the girl she noticed that while her grin was back in full force, she seemed to be surveying them with a curious look in her eyes.

As usual Tom was the first to comment "See something interesting, kid!" Giving her a matching wide grin.

She laughed and said "You all just look so young I mean I knew going back in time 16 years would mean seeing you all when you were younger but man, Uncle Tom, your hair hasn't even turned gray yet!"

Tom paled at the thought while Be'lanna and Harry laughed.

"Why have you know called two of my officers 'uncle'?" Kathryn asked eager to hear her reply yet at the same time afraid of the news it might bring.

"Well in my timeline they're my uncles!" she said as though this explained everything. At the annoyed looked on the captains face she continued "My family told me in no uncertain terms that I was NOT to tell who's daughter I was and that if you wanted to know that badly then you could do a DNA scan."

"Tuvok, set up a level four forcefield around a biobed in sickbay and then beam our guest there"

Tuvok had seen that look of curiousity in his captains eyes before and knew it was not logical to argue with her at that point.

"Tuvok, you have the bridge, Commander your with me" Tuvok again knew better then to argue but..

"Captain I must insist you allow me or one of my security detail to accompany you" He said calmly.

"Pick anyone you like, Tuvok" she also had learned when and when not to argue with him.

As they got into the turbolift, they heard him calling an officer to meet them there, Kathryn smiled "You know we had our dinner planned for tonight".

"I know, I was looking forward to it" Chakotay said although he didn't need to, the slightly crestfallen look was enough to tell her he was disappointed.

"I was going to tell you something important, too" she said calmly, though her eyes were dancing flirtatiously.

"Oh, and what might that be" he said unleashing one of his full powered dimple smiles that made her knees so weak

"Wouldn't you like to know" she said with more then a hint of teasing in her voice.

"Yea, I would, and your going to tell me." he said trying to sound commanding, but he was betrayed by the laughter in his voice.

"I am, am I, well maybe after this encounter with this girl, I might have time to tell you."

"That would be nice" he said sensing that was a conversation he wouldn't want to miss.

"Did you notice the girl never mentioned us by name, She called Tom and Harry, uncle but she never said our names" said Kathryn looking at him confusedly.

"Also did you notice she said her FAMILY told her not to say whos daughter she was, not her parents, her FAMILY." said Chakotay sharing her confusion.

"Well that can be some of the things we ask her." said Kathryn returning to captain janeway as they exited the lift.

When they got to sick bay, they found that the doctor had already begun scanning the girl and that Tuvok's chosen gaurd had already gotten there, as well, and was standing gaurd outside the door.

"Doctor can you tell me whos child she is yet" said the captain uncertainly. Chakotay knew what she was thinking because ever since he saw the girl he knew who's child it must be, it was...

"I am 100 positive that this girl is not only human but that she is the daughter of yourself and commander Chakotay" he said with his maniacal grin firmly in place.

Janeway started stuttering "WHAT!! muh muh my daughter and CHAKOTAYS!?!?!?!" Chakotay just looked mildly surprised!

"Yeah, mom, sorry but I have to say it, you got clamer with age although daddy told me that ALL the time, he said that you drank like 50 cups of coffee, A DAY!, when you were out here at first, but then you got me and later you got Kol so you had to stop." she said happily like the knowledge that they had not only a daughter but also a son was easy to handle. When she saw the looks on there faces she asked worriedly I screwed it up an came back before you were together didn't I?" They were still to dumbstruck to answer but Chakotay simply nodded. She continued with a sigh "well, whats the year"

The Doctor promptly answered her and when she heard him she gasped "CRAP, I was off by FOUR YEARS I was thinking I would be off by maybe a couple months or something a year tops I'll have to talk to him about that!!!"

"aww well, lets see, can you handle me working with you, or do you want me to leave and make you forget I was here and come back in a couple years or so?" she said like that kind of thing was commonplace.

" How..." Kathryn tried and failed to finish her sentence but the girl understood her anyway.

"How could I do that, umm, that would take some explaining how about first you get my name?" she said trying desprately not to sound bossy but hoping hey would agree.

"Is it Katie" asked Chakotay, out of the blue, still looking mystified. She nodded happily, but Kathryn's look of surprise made him feel the need to explain.

"I've imagined having childern with you before, Kathryn, you know that, I always thought we would have a daughter that had your fiery hair and spirit and we'd name her Kathryn and call her Katie so as not to be confusing" He muttered shamefacedly.

"How could you assume thats what we'd do though" Kathryn said and for the first time her noticed she was smiling.

He laughed with relief to know she wasn't mad or retreating to protocol-land, then he said "Because you must let me choose the names because she mentioned our son as well, Kol which I assume is short for Kolopak, my father" he said still smiling.

"Good job, Dad" said Katie "Now that we seem less life-or-deathy" Chakotay realized she must spend to much time with uncle Tom "I need an answer, will you work with me or do I need to leave and come back, later"

Kathryn was smiling full out at this point but at that she got another curious look in her eyes " well now that I know that your my daughter" she said. "I can boss you around!"

"What do you want ?" she asked.

"Tell me how you got here and how you planned to leave, change our memorys, and why you talk about time travel so lightly?" Kathryn said, looking exasperated.

"Ummmmm... Do I hafta?" she said, clearly embarassed for some reason.

"Yes, young lady, I want details, right now!" Kathryn said as if she had been mothering for years.

"Okay, but your not gonna like it!" she said " I mean you always said you dreaded the day I start dating."

"Are you telling me your boyfriend did this?" asked Chakotay and Kathryn almost at the same time.

"Who the hell is he, then" said Kathryn, who was so surprised and confused she thought nothing would make it worse...she was wrong.
