Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek or M*A*S*H. I certainly am not making
any money by writing this story.
Author's note: This story ignores the relationship between Seven and Chakotay in the last episode of Voyager. Also, I began writing this before Homecoming and its sequel were published.
---------
The darkness is finally brightened by a full moon. After a few hours of sleep B.J. relieves the Doctor in post op. The rest of the camp has fallen into a deep slumber. Not even the sounds of snoring can be heard. Then finally the sun begins to show itself again with promises of a new eventful day.
Margaret wakes with a start feeling very much in the need of a shower to clear the cobwebs from her brain. She tries to sit up, but a very heavy weight is stopping her. She reaches a hand out to investigate. The butterflies in her stomach reappear as she comes in contact with a baldhead. Charles wakes up having felt Margaret prodding his head.
"Where am I," he mumbles, " And why is my bed so lumpy?"
"Charles maybe you should just keep being quiet."
He sits up with a start. "Margaret I'm sorry I must have fallen asleep. What time is it?"
"I don't know I can't get to my clock. You're sitting on my legs."
Charles jumps up off the bed and Margaret reaches for her clock. "It's 8:30."
Margaret jumps up and runs smack into Charles. Together they say, "I have to be on duty in half an hour." They both giggle nervously.
"I guess we fell asleep," Charles says still face to face with Margaret.
"Yeah" Margaret whispers as Charles leans down and kisses her.
They stop after a moment realizing they don't have time for that right now.
"I'll check and see if the coast is clear," Margaret says. She opens the just a smidge and then turns around in horror "Hide" she whispers.
Charles dives under the bed just as Radar knocks on the door. "Ma'am I have the requisition forms for you to check over ma'am."
"Leave them in post-op. I'll check over them when my shift begins."
"Yes, ma'am."
Margaret sighs, "Your just going to have to crawls out the back of the tent."
"A Winchester."
"It's that or listening to Pierce's wisecracks."
"Crawling see me crawling."
Margaret sits down and begins to brush her hair. Then she finally realizes that he kissed her.
---------------
The remaining Voyager Senior staff is gathered in the conference room for their morning briefing.
"How are repairs coming along, B'Elanna?"
"Thrusters are back up and running. The Impulse drives; well give us a few more days. We just managed to repair enough circuitry to run a diagnostic on it. It doesn't matter anyways. We're still not space worthy."
"Do you have enough supplies?"
"Yes, thanks to that Tarkasean trader we ran into a month ago, we have more than enough hull plating."
"Good. Harry how are your efforts to disguise the ship with holoprojectors going?"
"I set up the projectors yesterday. However, with all the damage to Voyager, I haven't been able to get power to them."
"Keep trying. Seven have you had any luck in analyzing that energy?"
"No, but that may be the point."
"Explain."
"Q"
"A funnel would be within his taste," B'Elanna snorts.
A bright white light flashes in the room as Q makes his appearance, "I wondered how long it would take you to figure that out."
"What do you want?"
"Just to watch," Q disappears.
"What does that mean?"
No one was really sure.
-------------------
Hawkeye begins to stir wondering when he had ever gotten such a big crick in his neck even from an army cot.
The Captain is lying besides him pretending to sleep. Her mind is going over the events of the past few days. "What happened to Captain Janeway?" she silently asks herself, " This is your fifth day here and you've slept in your own bunk once. Captain Janeway got replaced with Colonel Janeway, who's human. Isn't that what Chakotay's always telling you. It always means getting hurt in the end."
"Hey beautiful, are you awake?"
"Yes"
"Good because I don't think I could lay on these awful mattresses anymore."
The Captain laughs, "Then why do we always sleep here?"
"We keep falling asleep here."
The Captain groans, "I'm going to take a shower."
"Can I join you?"
"NO"
"I wonder if they've plugged the hole in the women's shower."
The Captain just shakes her head and leaves.
Hawkeye calls out to her before she leaves, "meet me in an hour I have a surprise for you."
-----------------
B'Elanna strides angrily into Chakotay office. Chakotay looks up from what he's working on.
"Q and his son, "B'Elanna barely chokes out, "They keep popping in and scaring the living daylights out of my engineers. I can't get anything done."
"I'll make a ship wide announcement so that no one is surprised to see him. I've been debating calling the Captain back. Q seems to respect her."
"Well, you need to do something soon."
--------------
Charles returns to post-op carrying two cups of coffee. "Margaret I thought you might like a cup of coffee."
"Yes, Charles thank you," she turns and accepts the cup. Their eyes lock and they share a secret smile. Charles decides there is something better in life than high stature in society.
-----------------
Klinger has his bath stuff and is headed to the shower. Tom signals him from behind a stack of creates.
"What is it guys? I smell like rotten cabbage. If I don't take a shower my nose is going to pack its bags and leave."
"Can I interest you in proof that will get you off of KP."
Klinger doesn't look convinced, but says, "Sure, what have you got for me?"
Paris is obviously over acting to sell the story, "Well, the other night my buddy and I saw some of the alien ships and took pictures for you." Tom hands him the roll of film.
Klinger knows this is a sham, but thanks them anyways. He heads to the showers thinking, "So the aliens think they can pull a fast one on Max Klinger. I'm going to get real proof and then we'll see who gets KP for a month."
Tom watches Klinger walk away wondering why he doesn't feel reassured that the problem was solved.
Tuvok clears his throat, "Humans have a saying that has no logical basis, but seems appropriate in this situation, that was a little too easy."
Tom laughs, "I'm afraid I'm going to have to agree with you. We should probably report this to the Captain."
"I'm afraid the Captain is other wise engaged."
Tom turns to face where Tuvok is looking. They see the Captain walking down the road with Hawkeye and a picnic basket.
"Isn't it a little dangerous to be leaving camp?" The Captain asks.
"No, It's not much different than sitting in camp. We just have to be careful we don't sit in the field with the land mines."
"Ill use my tri." The Captain stops herself, "Are you sure you know which one is safe?"
"Yeah, there's a nice spot under that tree over there" Hawkeye points, the Captain leans over to follow his finger; they're swallowed by a transporter beam.
