Kathryn's Christmas

On Christmas morning Kathryn woke up. "Lets see who played Santa Clause this morning," she said looking at the corner. There were lots of presents under the tree. "Now I have to play Santa Clause, but I thought getting up at 0500 would be early enough," Kathryn said as she packed up the presents for the crew.

Then she tiptoed next door to Chakotay's quarters. The only thing she could think of to get him was a portrait of Tribus 3 that she painted herself. She tiptoed passed his bed. He was fast asleep. She set his present under the tree.

Then she tiptoed to Tuvok's quarters. She got him some Vulcan ear cleaning soaps. She set them on the table. "Now Tom and B'Elanna," she whispered.

She got Tom a Playstation from the list of old earth games, and B'Elanna a golden ba'tleth with a stand that holds four ba'tleths. She set their presents in a big box that would pop open when they picked it up.

She got Seven a guide on social skills, Neelix a new frying pan, and for Harry a shiny brass pip (although she hadn't given it to him yet).

Then she ran to her quarters and sat down by her tree. Buzz! "Come in," she said pulling up her hair. It was Chakotay. "Well hello," she sighed letting go of her hair.

"How are you Kathryn? I thought I should come over and we could open presents together," he said.

Later on the bridge the whole bridge crew were present except the captain.

"Mr. Paris now, Red alert! Captain to the bridge," Chakotay said.

Paris was making it seem as though they were under attack.

The doors to the turbo lift hissed open. Kathryn looked around. "Computer stand down red alert," she said.

"Surprise!" the bridge crew yelled together.

"Oh gods," She said as she backed into the turbo lift doors. Then she made a pouty face.

"Captain there is a present in your ready room," Chakotay informed her. She nodded and headed for her ready room.

When she walked in there was a cup of hot coffee on her desk. She sat down and took a drink. Then she heard a familiar sound, like a puppy whining.

"What the…?" she jumped up. She walked to the other side of her desk. There was a puppy. She picked it up and cuddled it to her chest.

"I can't wait to give Harry his present." she thought. "Oh yeah, Harry!" she said walking to the doors.

"Harry come here," she said grabbing his arm. "Ensign Harry Kim I hearby promote you to the rank of Lieutenant," she said with a lopsided grin, "and a party to celebrate."

Kathryn was walking to Harry's party. She was dressed in a green spaghetti strap dress, and her long hair was pulled in a ponytail and curled in ringlets.

While she was walking down the corridor she saw some one in uniform. She was sure he was one of Harry's friends. "Crewman why are you in uniform?" she asked.

"Why Kathy I just don't know," Q said.

Kathryn suddenly had a very bad headache.

TO BE CONTINUED…. hehe

Note from Author's mom: This is my daughter's first attempt at fanfiction. Considering that she is a fifth grader, I am rather impressed. She wanted to post it here for your reviews. She has budding literary aspirations, and your encouragement and honest criticism would be greatly appreciated. To say I am proud of her efforts would be a huge understatement. Thanks! LadyChakotay
