A little Talk between our commanding duo ;-)
"Computer, localize the whereabouts of Commander Chakotay."
"Commander Chakotay is in his quarters."
"Janeway to Chakotay!"
"Yes, Captain?"
"What are you doing at this time in your quarters?"
"Please? Why do you ask, Captain?"
"Did you forget the reception for our guests?"
"Oh, I had not thought of that!"
"You can't be serious!"
"But nonetheless I am"
"Chakotay, I'm waiting!"
"For what Captain?"
"For you! The reception will begin soon."
"I do not think I will go, Captain!"
"What? And why do you keep saying Captain?"
"You are the captain!"
"I know that! But if I remember correctly we were on first name terms."
"Well, today I had the impression that you prefer to be addressed with your rank."
"Chakotay, why am I getting the feeling that you're angry?"
"Maybe because it is so!"
"But ... why? Tell me!"
"I will not talk about it. And with all due respect, could we end this conversation right now?"?"
"Chakotay!"
"Yes?"
"You're jealous!"
"I am not!"
"Yes, you are! About the Fimori Ambassador?"
"Nonsense, why should I probably be jealous, I have no reason to."
"If that is so, then you better set off and accompany me to this reception."
"As your ... 'subject'?"
"I understand! For THAT you resent him."
"The name can I get over, but not this haughty and arrogant demeanor. And how this guy has been looking at you!"
"So you are jealous after all."
"I don't see the fun in it. But obviously you do! Is that the reason you don't make it clear to him that I and the other crewmembers are not your 'lackeys'?"
"Well, Chakotay, now leave it. Ever heard of diplomacy?"
"That's your specialty. I am sure that you will get through this evening without my presence. Take another 'subject with you. How about Tuvok?"
"I do not need a security officer at my side, but you! My CO!"
"Why do you not tell Ambassador Modra that your 'subject' is busy with important tasks?"
"With such important tasks as to be in a bad mood and sulking in your quarters?"
"I do not sulk. I only have no desire to look at the Ambassador while he is fawning around you like a peacock. I wish you much fun at the reception. "
"Damn it, Chakotay! The whole thing isn't about Ambassador Modra."
"What about then?"
"About...us. We haven't any time for us alone lately. This is a opportunity to be together and have fun without somebody watching us and drawing conclusions. I...I'm missing you."
"Kathryn!"
"Oh, you know still my name!"
"You did it again!"
"What?"
"Make me change my decisions!"
"Does that mean you'll accompany me?"
"If you're flirting with this Modra, I'll go away!"
"Oh cute, you're still jealous! Do not worry, I'll flirt only with my CO this evening and I don't care about Starfleet Protocolls."
"I'll remind you of that! When do you said the party start?"
"In about an hour. But you could come to my quarters right now.""
"Oh yeah?"
"You could help me!"
"With what?"
"This gala uniform makes me trouble. Maybe you could help me to get it on."
"No way!"
"Please?"
"I'll be happy to help you take off the uniform, but not the other way around."
"Chakotay!"
"Yes?"
"We should talk about that!"
"Talking? That's not necessarily what I have in mind!"
"Be serious!"
"Later, at the reception. At the moment I do not feel serious at all!"
"Oh ! And what is it that you're feeling at this moment?"
"If you give me the order to come to you now, I'll show you. Maybe an hour is enough!"
"Chakotay!"
"Yes?"
"Hurry up!"
