    All or Nothing At All
    Authors Note: I wrote this story in the dead of night (literally) listening to O-Town on my computer. I thought It'd be fun where the Characters actually used the lyrics directly in the stories, not just as past tense quotes, or havae them in the middle of fan fics. So, this is my first attempt. I ask you to keep in mind the reference to 'telephone' and such. Since the years are way off and I didn't want to fiddle with th lyrics. Maybe some other time :-P

    B'Elanna sat in the dimly lit quarters of Kathryn Janeway. Although she was happy that she was openly confiding in her, she was depressed by what she was being told. Most of their conversations were about Chakotay and their relationship, or lack-there-of, and where they thought it was heading.
    They had started a sort of 'going steady' type mode. He and Kathryn would do the simplist little acts of holding hands in fornt of the crew, still kept their dinner dates, although they were more 'dates' then ever now. Kathryn was still skeptikal of where it was heading. So she was keeping things low, and not spending *too much* time with Chakotay. 'Is that even possible?' On their shifts, she'd immediatly go to her ready room. Only talking when he spoke first.
    Although she knew it would hurt Chakotay deeply, she decided to 'break up with him' for lack of better words. She has been talking to B'Elanna how to do it for the past couple meetings they held. All the advice she gave was to look deeper and see how much she meant to him.
    For hoping to get over him, Kathryn had been trying to have different conversations with B'Elanna, but she started to think about Chakotay in mid-sentence or discussion. And after B'Elanna finally spoke up "I know when he's been on your mind
    That distant look is in your eyes"
    "I thought with time you'd realize
    It's over, over
    It's not the way I choose to live"
    "And something somewhere's got to give
    As sharing this relationship gets older, older"
    "But B'Elanna, I'm scared. For once in my life, I don't know what's going to happen. I don't know where this is leading. But the last thing I want to do is hurt him."
    "But you should just see the way he looks at you. He truly deeply loves you. I don't think that he'd change his actions if he ahd the choice." "I wouldn't want him to, but still B'Elanna..." She was cut off. With B'Elanna standing up with her hands on her hips that made Janeway's stance look like she was slouching. "How about you go over next door to his wuarters and tell him exactly what you told me. I know that he'll help you come over your 'relationship-phobia'." She said stepping out of the way giving her a path to the door.
    "B'Elanna, I don't know..." "You wouldn't want a Lt. To give you orders would you?" She retorted with a smirk on her face. "No ma'am!" Janeway said giving a mock salute. She got up and hugged B'Elanna before leaving to the coordioor. A heartbeat later she walked back in and said, "You may have given me an order but you aren't the Captain so you don't get my quarters." B'Elanna laughed outloud and left with a reassuring nod.

    Kathryn rang the chime twice to Chakotay's quarters with no answer. 'It's still early, he shouldn't be sleeping I don't think'
    She paniked and put in his override code and quickly looked around his desk area. The room was dimly lit, so she could make out only shadows of things. Then her eyes shiffted to the Viewport. She saw his figure sprawled out, laying on the couch. His feet were propped up his back was leaning of the wall. He let his right arm rest on his chest and the other was tucked behind his head acting and pillow. She finally started breathing and walked over to him. His face looked as if he was trying to stay awake but was loosing the battle.
    All fo a sudden his eyes popped open to see Kathryn leaning over him. "Kathryn?!" He said almost falling off the couch. "I'm sorry, I was falling asleep, I didn't hear my chime."
    "It's all right chakotay, I was just ordered by my 'second' sound board to come talk to you."
    "Well, there goes my day job!" He said throwing his hands in the air as he started to sit up. He moved over to give Kathryn room to sit down next to him then asked, "So, what did you 'sounding board' want you to tell me?" He asked inocentley. He put his arm around her shoulder. 'God Chakotay, you're going to make this harder then it is already.' "Well," she started moving his arm off his shoulder and standing up. "She said that I sould tell you what we've been talking about." She took in a breath and noted the look of pure confusion on his face. She turned her back and started pacing. "And what we've been talking about our relationship as of now." 'Here it comes...' He thought and let out a little sigh. Kathryn noticed but didn't say anything. Just finishing up what she started.
    "And lately, i've been asking her for advice on..." She paused and finally jsut blurted it out. "How to break up with you." She turned around to see what expression he had on his face. To her surprise his face was as straight enough to be Tuvok's. "I want you to hear me out first Chaktoay. I know that this has probably made you feel pretty bad, but well, the only reason is that.." He said her words before she did. "You're afraid of the direction that were going and you're not sure of your actions." He said as he walked over to her and helder arms to his chest. "You know I'd fight for you
    But how I can fight for someone who isn't even there
    I've had the rest of you now I want the best of you
    I dont care if that's not fair." It was his turn to pause and collect his thoughts. "I mean every word that I say. Whatever you're wondering you can ask me. I will help you with whatever you need. But I can't help you if you stay cooped up in that ready room of yours and hide form me and the rest of the world, er--ship."
