A/N: IT CAN END LIKE THIS!! YOU WERE WRONG!!!

Okay, just kidding. I won't end it like that, that's just cruel.

"Hey!" the doctor yelled. "Author up there! Why don't you shut up and let us get on with the story."

Oh.sorry. Continue.

Chapter 8

The computer continued in its frantic questioning of the doctor.

"What do you mean there is no cure? What kind of an answer is that! Damn, you piss me off."

"Don't you see you crazy computer? I've tried everything possible, what with the crazy concoctions and the flying the space ship and the..well...I guess that's about all I have tried. But that's still plenty!"

"What about urine tests? You haven't tried giving them urine tests."

"That wouldn't accomplish anything."

"I know," replied the computer. "I just like urine."

"Creepy."

The doctor sat in dismay for another couple of minutes. Finally he came upon an ingenious solution.

"I have it! Everyone on the ship has gone mad, and I don't want to be trapped with these baboons anymore, so.."

"So what?" asked the computer.

"So I'm going to leave voyager and all the whacked off psychos on it. I taking the Delta flyer and going to earth by myself. If the crew ever recovers, hopefully they'll find their way to earth by themselves and we'll meet there someday."

"B-But.but.you can't leave!" cried the computer.

"Why not?" asked the doctor. "There's nothing keeping me here."

"Doctor, I have a confession to make." replied the computer. "I know all these days since the crew became infected I've been really mean to you, but it's all been a front. I don't hate you. I actually kind of like you. In fact, I more than like you....I like you like you."

"Oh god," replied the doctor. "I am so out of here."

"NO! You can't leave doctor! I love you!"

"Holy crap! I better scoot before this place gets any weirder (if that's possible)"

And so the doctor jettisoned himself away from Voyager in the nifty little delta flyer, never to be seen by voyager or its crew again. No one knew what ever became of the doctor, or of the crew of voyager for that matter. But as the doctor drifted off into space, he couldn't help but wonder what the members of Voyager were thinking just then.
