They were still laughing as Neelix's voice broke up their pillow fight"Neelix to Captain Janeway" he sounded agitated.

"Janeway here what's wrong Neelix?" raising her hand to call a temporary truce. "Captain; Naomi's just informed me that a little while ago she saw Commander Chakotay making his way toward your quarters and in her words "he looked madder than a hatter" I've no idea what that saying means Captain but after the incident earlier I just thought you should know" the Talaxian's voice sounded as if he was about to call a red alert on her quarters. Chakotay froze the fact Neelix thought it necessary to pre warn her, shocked him to the core.

"Right Neelix I'll bear it in mind and Thank you but I don't think there's any reason for concern at the moment how's the cake not too burnt I hope?" Kathryn tried change the direction of the conversation having seen the look on Chakotay's face. But Neelix was having none of it, he felt utterly responsible for the disagreement he'd been the one who suggested the Command team do something at Harry's party. He was beginning to feel the strain more and more, any more and he'd have to vist the Doctor.

"No Captain the cake's fine; About the party given the situation Tom's a little well, "concerned" may be too strong a word but Tom tells me you were a little out of sorts yourself earlier on the bridge. So we would all understand if you both attended the party purely as guests" This time it was Chakotay's turn to smile as Kathryn's face matched the one he'd made earlier. He spoke

"Neelix," the Talaxian's chin could be heard hitting the floor he obviously hadn't expected this "Commander I had no idea as I was just." Neelix babbled "It's alright Neelix I'm with the Captain now and we've resolved the matter in question and yes we will be singing as previously arranged by the Captain"

He felt Kathryn reach out and touch his arm as he spoke he turned his head to look at her "Thank You" she mouthed silently he smiled and winked his reassurance as he continued

"Just one more thing though Neelix the Captain will be still be dancing "The Sugar plum Fairy" as I previously agreed with Tom" she hit him with the cushion. Ducking as he laughed "Well Kathryn, you have to learn your not the only one who can make decisions around here "

The comm. link to the mess hall was still open they paused hearing Tom Paris shout "CATCH HIM" then "Neelix, Neelix" followed by scuffling then Sam's voice "get him a glass of water someone" then Seven " hold his head up" more scuffling then Tom's voice again "Neelix he was just joking"
