LOL... I wrote my answer to SaRa's Neighbors Challenge.
I think I'm the first one. Today, I'll just post it
here, cuz that's where the challenge was.

Disclaimers: Paramount owns Voyager, Janeway and
Chakotay. :( Vivi (yes, she's a real person,)and
Zanza own themselves... well, unless you count
parents :P

Nosy Neighbors
by Zanza


"Oh. My. God." Zanza said, staring out the window.
That was the first thought that crossed her mind. The
second was 'I've got to call Vivi.'

Vivi, short for Vivian, had been introduced to Voyager
3 months ago by Zanza, but already loved P/T, and liked
J/C and K/7. In fact, Vivi's little sister was the one
who had invented the nickname 'Zanza' and had origionally
used it as an insult. Now Vivi's whole family, not to
mention Mere, Resy, Zozers, and others called her that.
Vivi's other nickname was 'the grammar queen.'

Zanza dialed Vivi's number. Vivi answered.

"Vivi, you'll never guess what just happened to me!"

"You watched Equinox?" Vivi said dryly.

"No... better! Much better!"

"There was J/C in the most recent Season 8 episode."

"Well... that would be great... but this is terrific!"

"Well tell me already!"

"Captain Kathryn Janeway and Commander Chakotay have
just moved in in Martha's old apartment."

"Zanza! You honestly expect me to believe that?"

"Under normal cirqumstances, no, but these aren't
normal cirqumstances."

"Zanza..."

"I'll make you a deal. You come over to my house now,
and see. If I'm lying, we can watch a Voyager episode."

"Let me guess. Resolutions."

"Just come over already."

*~*~*~*

"Do you see them?" asked Zanza eagerly.

"I see a moving truck." stated Vivi, annoyed.

"Well then, let's go."

"Go what?"

"Meet them. I'll show you."

"Meet them? Have you lost your mind?"

"It's called 'welcoming your new neighbor.'" The look on
Vivi's face was skeptical, delighted, and amused all an once.

"C'mon!" said Zanza. Vivi followed. They knocked on the
door.

"Hello?" said Kathryn Janeway, coming to the door. Zanza
gave Vivi a triumphant look.

"Hi, Cap-" Vivi started, then Zanza clamped her hand over
Vivi's mouth. Zanza gave Vivi her best imitation of the
look. If Kathryn and Chakotay were moving into an apartment
in the 21st Century, they didn't want to be called 'Captain'
and 'Commander.'

"Hello, I'm Alexandra, your new neighbor, and this is Vivian,
my friend. She lives just across the park. I am better known
as Zanza, and she's better known as Vivi."

"Nice to meet you both. I'm Kathryn Janeway. Please come in.
Would you like some coffee?"

"That would be great!" said both Vivi and Zanza simitaneously.
Vivi was catching on. Even though Vivi would probably prefer
tea, she knew not to mention tea in front of Kathryn Janeway.

"Where's Chak... I mean, your friend?" said Zanza. Kathryn
turned around.

"What did you say?"

"Where's your friend?" supplied Vivi.

"Before that. What were you going to call him?"

"Chocolate?" Zanza tried.

"Chakolate? I don't think so." Kathryn said. "You were going
to call him by his real name."

"Umm... what kind of man has a name that starts with Chak?"
asked Vivi. It was a rhetorical question, and she wasn't having
an easy time keeping that a secret.

"How did you know his name?" asked Kathryn icily.

"He and my dad were... old chums." said Zanza. Vivi put her
head in her hands. Kathryn wasn't going to buy that one.
Obviously. Zanza paused.

"All right, I'm a J/Cer! Vivi is too!"

"Care to elaborate on that?"

"You mean you don't know what a J/Cer is?" asked Vivi and Zanza.

"No."

"Well, I'm gonna teach you a lesson." stated Zanza. "A J/Cer
is a person who likes..." This time Vivi clamped her hand over
her mouth.

"If they find out, they'll prosecute us!" whispered Vivi.

"But that's what TPTB wants, not necessarily them." said Zanza.

"Look at them, Brannon Braga doesn't seem to be controlling
them like action figures. They seem perfectly fine, and it
doesn't look like TPTB is their master." said Vivi.

"Are you from the future?" blurted Zanza. Kathryn stared at
her, amazed. Vivi was going to correct her, but she decided
that it was hopeless.

"Yeah, the Captain of a Starship called Voyager?" added Vivi.

"With Commander Chakotay faithfully at your side?" said Zanza
dreamily. This earned her a slap from Vivi.

"How did you know that?" asked Kathryn Janeway, glaring at them
both.

"Well, Zanza lent me her..." Vivi was going to say 'Voyager
Tapes' and Zanza knew it, but didn't let her finish.

"We're brilliant aliens from another galaxy with telepathic
abilites and we've come to investigate this time period for
our database and we just read your mind but were trying to
hide it but we couldn't so sorry."

"Run-on sentence." muttered Vivi under her breath.

"You honestly expect me to believe that?" asked Kathryn.

"No." said Vivi and Zanza at the same time.

"Then tell the truth." Kathryn said simply. Vivi gulped.
They were getting 'The Look.' Zanza had a very weird expression
on her face.

"What are you doing?" Kathryn asked.

"Well, I've never seen the death glare in person before,
so now that I have, I'm trying to really imitate it."

"What to you mean 'the death glare'?"

"The one you always use on Star Trek. It makes Maj Cullah
cower. I've..."

"...never..." Vivi added quickly.

"...seen him. In three episodes."

"Episodes of what?" Kathryn asked, curious. Vivi and Zanza
couldn't help it.

"Star Trek Voyager." they chorused.

"My favorite show in the universe." said Zanza dreamily.

"Mine too..." said Vivi, just as dreamily.

"Show?" Chakotay asked, coming into the room.

"TV show." Zanza supplied helpfully. To be even more
helpful, Vivi started humming the theme song and Zanza
sang the J/C song she had made up to it.

"What do you know about Voyager?" asked Kathryn. Zanza
and Vivi gave them detailed accounts, with special emphasis
on the J/C episodes. Chakotay sunk into the chair like he
had a headache.

"Are you going to tell everyone?" asked Kathryn.

"Well, we could be persuaded not to..." said Vivi.

"And how would we go about doing that?" asked Chakotay.

"Kiss!" yelled Zanza

"Be nice neighbors!" yelled Vivi.

Zanza and Vivi looked at each other.

"Both!" they yelled together.

"What does the 'kiss' mean?" asked Kathryn. She already
had a good idea of what it was, and she partly wished it
wasn't, but mostly wished it was.

"You," said Zanza pointing to Kathryn,"kiss him." she
said, pointing to Chakotay. "Now." she finished.

Chakotay looked at Kathryn. It wasn't such a bad fate.
In fact, it was a good fate. A very good fate. He
kissed her. She kissed him back.

~10 minutes later~

Vivi tugged at Zanza's sleeve.

"Zanza, should we... uh... get them off each other?"

"Nah." said Zanza. "C'mon, let's go." Vivi and Zanza
left Kathryn Janeway and Chakotay to... do their stuff.

~It's done!~
