Kira smiled down at the promenade, she had never seen so many Bajoran's on the station, sure she had seen a hundred on DS9 but not well over four hundred. The Emissary didn't capture this much attention when he was first revealed but here her people are happy, clean, well fed and there was not a Cardassian alive that could take this small glimmer of happiness away.

Sisko beamed his welcome onto every Bajoran he saw, he just couldn't believe how many people thought so highly of him. One man shook his hand, another hugged him tight, what had gotten into them?

"Nerys, I have the security reports, not a smile wayward person in over two weeks!" Odo stated looking depressed.
"Isn't that a good thing?"
"Yes but er, well I think that either I'm missing something or that the Klingons have become tame, they've been here over a month and not a glimmer of trouble to be found."
"Well Odo I'm sure something will happen, Quark can't help but get himself into trouble."
"That's the thing, not even Quark has tried anything!"
"Odo, I've gotta go, Cye is waiting for me."
"Ah... I see."
"Yeah, we're having dinner tonight and it is already 1930."
"Ah... Well have a good evening, Major.."
"Thank you Odo."

Odo sulked off, why couldn't Kira understand that he loves her? It's not as if she didn't know, his future self had made sure of that. Odo shifted threw the crowd and toward the turbolift.

"My dear Nerys, would you like a Raktajino?"
"How about some wine, it's been a strange day."
"Er, Nerys you know that I do not consume alco-"
"Oh, I'm sorry Cye, it's been a weird day I didn't think..."
"It's ok, how about some of that wine Vedek Noral sent?"
"Mm, your spoiling me slowly."
"Well, you do deserve it."

Cye smiled at Kira, they had gotten together shortly after the Dominion War ended, Cye had been assigned to the Defiant days before the war ended, his Orange hair, brown eyes and pale skin gave him an attractive look, he had a wide smile and flawlessly white teeth and best of all for Cye, Odo couldn't find a thing wrong with him and not from lack of trying.

"Here you go Nerys, I added some Vanilla to it, it always brings out the flavour of such good wine."
"Aha, you humans sure do know about wine!"
"Well Madam, I am from Paris. When I was a boy I would help my parents with the vines every summer."
"Just in Summer?"
"Well no, all year round but that is beyond the point M'love."
"Aha well Cye how about we eat? I haven't eaten all day."
"Nerys! I've told you that not eating is extremely bad for you. Even Bajoran's need to eat you know, three meals a day is needed not one."
"I know, I was just so busy in ops.."
"Well Op's will have to wait!"
"Cye-"
"Don't, I just want you to eat properly, Doctor Bashir told you that was necessary when you fainted last month."
"Alright! I will now lets just have dinner."

Cye sighed and turned to the replicator.

"A orange juice, no bits, and two servings of Ratatouille niçoise, hold the aubergine."
"Ratatouille?"
"It's a French dish, one of my favourites, I prefer it fresh but this well have to do."
"Ah." Kira said with a fake smile.
The replicator buzzed it's usual computerized 'its done' beep and Cye placed the orange Juice by him and the food infront of them both.
They ate dinner and retired to the bedroom...

"Ah Odo, just the man!" Sisko greeted warmly.
"Not now commander, I am about to investigate Quark, he must have done something!"
"Odo, I have orders for Lieutenant-Commander Sericius' arrest."
"But he is with Kira?"
"Then arrest him there! He is a war criminal."
"Of course." Odo replied with perverse satisfaction.

The incessant beeping had woken Kira she grunted and threw the first thing she saw - Cye's T-shirt.
Clicking her neck as she gained on the door Kira, half asleep tripped on a chair and fell with a thud to the ground.
"OWUCH!" Kira shrieked.

Odo had waited and wait for the last five minutes, he was becoming nervous, then he heard it, Kira's scream, maybe Cyeberius was trying to make a daring escape or was holding her hostage in return for his freedom?
"Computer! Security over ride! Authorisation Odo Alpha7723!"

The doors moved swiftly in just under five seconds they were open, Odo entered and saw Kira getting up from her fall.
"Major!" Odo said with a little too much emotion.
"Odo? What are you doing here? At 0100 in the morning! I was trying to sleep!"
"Are you ok?"
"I'm fine! What are you doing here?!"
"I'm here to Arrest Cyeberius."
"What?"
"I'm here to arr-"
"I heard you the first time!"

"Ugh, arh Nerys come back to bed dear." Cye shouted.
"Uh, Cye you may want to get out here."
