Feedback is great... I try to respond to all of my feedback. smiles
Phoebe was another Janeway member that you didn't want to mess with. She had a temper even though she rarely displayed it. There were only a few times that she remembered that her sister had really lost it. One of those times had been after dad and Justin had passed away. Phoebe had come up to her room with a bucket of ice water and tossed it over her. Then Phoebe looked down at her and spoke.
"Kathryn, time for you to pick yourself up and get on with your life. Dad and Justin are not coming back, there is nothing that you can do about it. Finish Star fleet like dad would have wanted you to, and get on with your life. But for fucking sakes get out of bed and do something productive with your life, a Janeway would never act this way."
She smiled at her sister as she walked into the kitchen and took a hard roll from the breadbox.
"Kathryn, why on earth do you keep staring at me that way?"
"I am remembering Phoebes. When we were both young and things were different."
Phoebe grunted. "Speak for yourself, I am still young."
Kathryn put her hands on her hips. "Are you ready now or do I need to get the collar and the leash?"
Phoebe looked at her sister and put her hands on her hips. "Careful Kathryn, you know what they say about trying to teach an old dog new tricks. And you are way older then me." Phoebe started to laugh and Kathryn only bit her bottom lip as she tried to keep her composure. If anyone in the Janeway clan had wit, it was Phoebe.
Phoebe had the power to just look at a man with her eyes and seduce him on the spot, without saying a word. Kathryn had the same ability to her credit, but she had nothing on Phoebe.
Kathryn laughed as the two of them made their way past the cornfield and headed north up the path.
Phoebe looked at her sister and smiled. "Care to let me in on the joke sis?"
"I was remembering when you put that ad in the paper for possible dates for the Prom in High School and that day we had almost 20 men lined up at the door waiting for you to say yes to them.
Phoebe let out a huge belly laugh. "I almost forgot about that, mom was so angry. I think she grounded me for a month. Do you remember what she said?"
Kathryn thought.. "Yes I do. Phoebe Janeway in this house we do not place ads in the paper regarding dating. No respectful man would ever place and ad in the paper for a lady. It just isn't done."
The two of them continued to walk along the sandy path, and up a small area of tall grass.
"You know Kathryn I remember telling Sara, my best friend at the time about it. And she told me that she thought that personal ads were for only one thing."
Kathryn raised her eyebrows, "And what was that?"
Phoebe stopped and turned, and looked at her sister. She tucked a loose strand of hair behind her ear and smiled. "fucking"
At that moment both of the girls burst into laughter, like they were teenagers and didn't stop until they were both in tears. They continued reminiscing about the past as they made their way up the long stretch of flat plains.
