Young Again
Chapter 2
By X-Moonchik

" Where did those voices come from?" Asked Chakotay, swivling to look at
Tuvok.

Tuvok immediately began scanning for the origin of the interruption.

"The voices seem to have originated in crew quarters, from Captain
Janeway's,
Lieutenant Torres' and Ensign Kim's, Sir" Tuvok reported, Vulcan calmness
intertwined into his voice.

"Right. Paris, Seven you're with me. Tuvok you have the bridge," Chakotay's
voice now had an edge to it. What was going on? What were those voices and
why
were they in crew quarters? Chakotay continually asked himself this as they
headed for Deck Nine.

As they entered deck nine from the turbo lift no one new what they would
find.

"Tom, you go to B'Elanna's quarters. Seven, you go to Harry's. I'll go to
the
Captain's," Chakotay ordered.

"Aye, Sir," they replied in unison.

Chakotay proceeded to Janeway's door. He pressed the button to announce his
presence. No answer. He tried again. Still no answer. A sense of dread
filtered into Chakotay's subconscience. He immediately entered the over-ride
code. When he entered Janeway's quarters, there was total
darkness. The only light which could be seen was from the stars twinkling
outside in space.

"Kathryn are you there?" He asked but he didn't get an answer straight
away.He looked around the darkened quarters, hoping to find his captain.
"Kathryn where are you?" he tried, and this time he got an answer. The
person who responded, though, did not sound like Janeway.

"I'm in here, Chakotay."

"Kathryn what's wrong, you sound different."
Janeway came out of the bathroom and Chakotay got the biggest shock of his
life.

"Kathryn...what...happened" He asked stammering.

"That's what I'd like to know" She said looking at herself.

Chakotay could see she looked possibly 13 and her light brown hair was waist
length. Janeway walked up to him and she was a little shorter than she used
to
be.

"I better get you down to sickbay," Chakotay said, not being able to remove
his gaze for he was still in shock.

Seven tried to enter Harry Kim's quarters. She pressed the announcer, but
got no answer
and let herself in.

"Ensign Kim where are you" She asked impatiently.

Harry poked his head up from the hiding spot behind the desk in his
quarters. Seven
could not see him properly, as the poor light was making it hard, and she
was
beginning to get annoyed.

"Ensign Kim get up from behind your desk immediately, this is an inefficient
use of my time" She ordered.

Kim stood up slowly. As soon as he was fully upright he stepped out into the
light of the stars.

"Ensign Kim what has happened to you? You have gotten younger. How
is this possible," Seven questioned, not understanding.

Harry still had the same baby face except his hair was not gelled into
place. He looked around fourteen, and his uniform sagged on his small frame.

Seven walked up to him and examined the new Harry wearingly. He only came up
to her chest in height, a lot
shorter than what he used to be.
"Ensign Kim I think you should accompany me to sickbay" She told him in her
usual manor.

"So do I" Kim replied.

Tom stood outside his girlfriend's quarters wondering about what he would
find.
He hesitantly pressed the buzzor. The door chimed making him known. He heard
a
muffled 'go away' coming from inside. He entered her code to unlock the
door. There were some advantages to being the boyfriend!

As he attempted to enter the blacked living place something shot out, aimed
for him. Tom jumped back immediately, the bowl barely missing him. "Whoa,
that was close" he muttered to himself.

Paris cautiously entered the darkened room, his senses heightened for any
more danger. He could
hear sobbing coming from somewhere. "B'Elanna where are you?"

"Go away." She screamed back at him.

"It's okay B'Elanna, I can help."

"I said go away." This time it was more feverishly.

Tom headed further into her darkened quarters listening carefully for any
movement or sound that would give her away. As he was nearing the bed he
heard a
slight muffles and the sound of someone moving on a carpet quietly. It was
like
shoe being scuffed gently across a carpeted surface gently. Tom walked
around
the bed and looked down. He could just make out the form of B'Elanna. When
she
looked he had to stifle a yell of surprise. He leaned down next to her.
B'Elanna
looked away immediately.

"B'Elanna look at me"

" Tom I said leave me alone" this time it was more of a plea.

"I said look at me" Tom spoke more firmly. He took her face in his hand and
turned her head to him as gently as he could. She had tears running down her
face soaking it.

Tom still did not know what to say to comfort her. The brown hair on her
head
was still shoulder length but it was sticking to her wet face in places. He
smiled at B'Elanna trying to reassure her. "Now tell me what's the matter"

"What's the matter Tom? You want to know what the matter is. I'm a kid
again. I
had a hard enough time as a child. I don't want to be one again" Torres'
voice
got loader as she spoke.

"I'd better get you to sickbay so the Doc can check you out"

" Tom I'm not going to sickbay, people are not seeing me like this" B'Elanna
was
adamant.

"Fine I'll carry you"

"No!" B'Elanna was getting aggravated again.

Tom didn't care anymore he had to get B'Elanna to the Doctor to be checked
out.
He walked over to her and before she could get up and make her escape he
picked
B'Elanna up.

"Tom put me down"

"No can do I'm afraid"

Torres protested all the way to sickbay. Drawing the attention to herself,
which
she didn't want.


As they entered sickbay everyone looked up at the noisy arrival.

"Ah I see that our third patient has arrived. I see that B'Elanna had the
same
charm as a child as she does when she's an adult" spoke the Doctor
humorously.
He then sighed and went back to scanning the new arrivals. Tom on the
otherhand
was placing B'Elanna on the bio bed next to a rather young looking Captain
Janeway.

After scanning all three of them the Doctor stood pondering to himself.
"Hmmmmmm..."

"Hmm, what Doc? You don't have any ideas on how we now have three pint sized
senior
staff?"

"No Mister Paris. What I do know is that they have gone back to their
adolecent stage somehow but what I do not know is why or how, and if you're
here bothering me, I won't find out much more." The Doctor's voice took on
an insolent tone, and Tom knew when to back off.

"We'll be on the bridge. If anything happens, inform us," Chakotay cut in,
shooting a warning look at Tom.

"Chakotay, before you go. You are now in charge of Voyager until I turn back
to
normal" Janeway informed him.

"Yes Captain" He said as he headed out the doors onto the rest of deck five.

"Well I suggest that you three stay here for tonight for observation"

The three of them nodded but looked a little disappointed.

After a full day of scans and tests, mixed with visits from Tom, wanting to
check up on his girlfriend, and Chakotay, wanting status reports and feeling
the need to make sure his Kathryn was alright, the trio finally got to go to
bed.

Harry couldn't sleep. He was worrying too much about what had happened. He
got
up and found his way through the dimly lit sickbay and padded over to the
Doctor's office.
"What are you doing?" Kim asked the Doctor.

"Oh why are you still up. Go back to bed Harry."

"Ok but do you think you will be able to get us back to normal"


"I'm sure I will but you should go back to bed."

"Ok night Doc"

"Night Harry"

Tom came into sickbay the next day with clothes made to the sizes of kid
Torres,
Kim and Janeway.

"So Doctor what exactly do we do now" Asked Harry?

"Well I suggest you get changed into these clothes, then go for something to
eat."

"That sounds good. What about you two" Asked Janeway looking at B'Elanna and
Harry.

They both nodded. Tom walked over to B'Elanna and pinched her cheek while
saying "Who is a cute little kid?" Torres gave him a look that would kill
and he
stopped immediately.

"Well lets get going" Said Harry as he started to walk towards the doors
that
lead to the corridor.

They all walked in silence to Deck Nine, not one of them sure what to say to
each other. There were some strange glances from other crew members that
they
walked passed. Some of them would do a double take while others would just
stare
until the young officers were out of sight. All of them found it very
unnerving,
especially B'Elanna who was already uncomfortable by the way she looked.

Once they had got changed into their new outfits, they stepped out of their
quarters. Janeway was wearing a light blue summer dress with a pair of
shorts
underneath. Torres was wearing a yellow t-shirt and a pair of black combats.
While Kim was wearing a red shirt and a pair of dark blue jeans.
The three of them headed for the mess hall. When they reached the doors, the
three of
them went through and the doors hissed shut behind them. Crewmen sent odd
looks their way as the trio walked to an unoccupied table near the back of
the mess hall,
facing out into the endless space outside. Before they could ask for any
food
from Neelix, Seven of Nine came over to their table.

"Do you require assistance?" Seven was trying to be sincere as she spoke
taking the edge off of her voice.

"Why don't you join us?" asked Janeway, her lips curving into a childish
smile.
B'Elanna was about to protest when Janeway shot her the patented Janeway
death glare. B'Elanna closed her mouth before a sound was made.

Seven was uncomfortable around her captain at this point, but she had no
time to pass on her invitation. The ship suddenly convulsed, and threw the
off-duty crew off-balance.

Everyone cried out in shock but the ship lurched again before anyone pick
themselves off the floor. Tables were upturned, chairs and half eaten food
lying on the floor.

Chakotay's voice came over the comm link in a panic "Battle stations,
Voyager is
under attack"

The ships red alert began to sound and all personnel ran to their battle
stations. Torres, Janeway and Kim just stared at each other, bewildered, as
the ship lurched
again.
