Disclaimer: I don't own Enterprise
A/N: I'm kinda getting a different idea and I kinda want to do a different story other than this one for a while, a different Enterprise story, but I'm not sure... I sort of haven't been inspired for this one in a while. I hope any reviewers who liked this story so far will check out my other one and tell me what they think, but I'll try to continue both as best as I can. (If you haven't noticed, I have numerous stories in the works... some pathetically a chapter or two away from being done...) Enjoy this short chapter; at least, I think its short...
I'm Gonna Stay!
Kat
I woke up the next morning still in Hoshi's arms. She was warm, and still asleep. I sort of had to wiggle out of her grasp, being careful not to wake her and I showered and dressed in something comfortable for the day. I couldn't stand fancy clothes, at least not most of the time.
"Kat, are you up already?" a sleepy voice asked me. I got up from where I was putting on some sandals and saw Hoshi's eyes meeting mine.
"Yeah, I am. Listen, thanks for last night," I said. Hoshi smiled at me.
"It was nothing; nightmares happen," she said, "It's nothing to be ashamed of."
"But it wasn't really a nightmare... it was my brother... he was telling me to be strong... and such," I whispered, almost to myself, even though I knew that she could hear me.
"Well, you should be strong, if what you said last night was true, with the dragon stuff and all," Hoshi said, sitting up.
"Miss Hoshi, do you like me?" I asked, "I mean... would you mind sharing a room with me?"
"Have you made your choice that soon?" Hoshi asked me. I shook my head.
"I just wanted to know," I said quickly.
"Well, I can actually say I'm enjoying the company. I wouldn't mind if I shared a room," she said, "I mean, with you."
"That's cool," I said and ran up to her and hugged her around the waist, "Thank you Miss Hoshi. I think I should go see the captain now, right?"
"Yes, you should," Hoshi said, "Well; don't make your decision until I arrive, because I need to hear it, as it will affect me mostly if you chose to stay. But head on out, I'll be there in a little bit." I nodded and ran out into the hall, and realized I had no idea where I was going to go! I cursed myself for having a bad sense of direction.
"Is this some sort of traditional wear for you Ambassador?" a voice asked me. I looked around and saw Malcolm there to the left of me.
"It's comfy. I like it, and if you don't, well I can't say I care!" I said, defending myself.
"The captain ordered me to come and collect you is Ensign Hoshi up yet?" Malcolm asked me.
"Just go on ahead, I'll catch up in a minute," Hoshi called from the room.
"Very well then, come along Ambassador," he beckoned and I followed his lead.
"Say Mr. Reed, do you like me?" I asked and he looked down at me as we walked towards an elevator.
"Why do you ask?" he asked, opening the elevator door and stepping inside, and I followed quickly behind.
"I like you!" I said, "You're a little stiff, but I like you!"
"Well, thanks, I guess..." Malcolm said, not even looking at me, "You're annoying, very much annoying, but you're not as bad as some people I've met."
"I'm gonna take that as a yes! Yippee! The people I wanted to like me most do! And I got them to like me in a few hours!" I sort of sang this out loud; I felt like I could sing right now. Reed looked down at me with a cocked eyebrow and I smiled up at him, giggling.
"So... does this mean you are staying?" Malcolm asked.
"Bliska takura temt," I said in dragon tongue, "That's my answer..."
"And what did you say?" Malcolm asked.
"..." I remained silent as the elevator came to a complete stop.
"Fine, be that way... both you and Ensign Hoshi and all of the languages... it gets on my nerves..." Malcolm muttered as he led me down another hallway.
"Ahh, there you are Miss Kat," the Vulcan captain greeted me. I bowed and smiled.
"So, do you like it here?" Captain Archer asked me, coming up behind the Vulcan.
"Well, yeah! Miss Hoshi likes me and so does Mr. Reed!" I exclaimed, and then I remembered to wait for Hoshi, "And this place is really nice and... and... and..."
"And what?" Captain Archer asked me.
"Wait, I'm here... I'm here!" Hoshi exclaimed, out of breath, coming down the hallway towards everyone else and me.
"Well, did you decide to remain here or not? I can say it would be nice to have a new face on board here, even if you are just a child," Captain Archer said.
"I'm not a child!" I said defensively.
"Of course you're not, but have you made up your mind?" he asked. He was only humoring me! I wasn't a child! I sighed, fine, be that way, don't listen to me... well, I suppose it was better for them not to know... I mean, I didn't know how long I would be this way... I better make up my choice... it seemed like the right thing to do right now... I could figure the other stuff later!
"Well Mr. Archer, I really like it here... so here's my choice!" I said and smiled up at him, looking him directly in the eyes, "I'm gonna stay, is that okay with you?" Captain Archer smiled, I felt like I had made the right choice.

A/N: Like it? Hate it? Too short? (Yeah, I know it was...) If you want me to continue, please tell me!
