June 17, 2003 2100 Holodeck 2 Sandrine's

"Welcome, welcome gentlemen, please come in make yourself at home," Sandrine said as the men invited to Chakotay's bachelor party streamed into her establishment.

Soon every man had a seat and pretty women of every description were circulating through the room, ostensibly as waitresses and hostesses. Tom, as Chakotay's best man, was acting as emcee of the evening's activities, when he could see that every one had a libation he decided to start the roast part of the evening. He called various members of the crew to come forward to tell stories about, or as his Dad would say, tell stories on Chakotay. The emphasis being on embarrassing their XO, particularly if the story could have a sexy spin put on it.

Everyone had some story to tell about his XO, from Ken Dalby's teasing about the commander's left hook to Joe Carey's description of the look on Chakotay's face when Neelix had him taste raw Leola root, of course Joe added, if rumors were true that might have merely helped him prepare for the captain's cooking. Neelix teased him that, had he known what a slow worker Chakotay was when it came to women, he'd never have asked him for advice on romance. Chell was quite the hit when he described the commander's reaction to two very grateful Bajoran women Chakotay rescued from the Cardassians during his Maquis days. But the truly priceless moments came when they played the taped messages they'd managed to download from the array from Fred Morris, an academy roommate of Chakotay's, Orlando Delgado, the only survivor amongst his buddies from the Gettysburg and Will Riker, his wingman from his Nova squad days.

After relating a few funny stories about his roomie, that only a roommate would know, Fred gave Chakotay some advice, "Remember the Serenity prayer, and especially remember what I told you about not being able to change other people. When I got married I discovered that my wife's attitudes and behaviors were definitely something I couldn't change, so I just tried to be accepting. But Chakotay, if your Kathryn is anything like my Jenny, then she'll probably spend a lot of time trying to change you; it's just something women do. When you can't take it any more, just make her a couple of babies, and suddenly all the extra fussing will be transferred to the kids and you can go back to doing what you want to do," Fred advised. Chakotay just shook his head and smiled while everyone laughed.

Next was a message from Orlando Delgado in which he told the story of how Chakotay got busted for lying about his age. As most people had heard a little bit about this at the half-birthday party they were anxious to hear the details. Some things Orlando played up were the boxing matches and Chakotay's flirting with the pretty redheaded doctor. He said he only mentioned that because he was beginning to realize Chakotay had a weakness for redheads.

Finally, Tom put on the message from Will Riker.

"Chakotay, I think I'm pissed off at you on several levels. First off, I just learnt from Beverly Crusher that you're younger than me by three months. All these years I thought you were a couple of years older than me. Of course maybe that explains why you seemed to be such a small guy for a third year cadet," Riker observed.

"I remember when Boothby wanted me to spar with you. I thought he was crazy for wanting to put two such mismatched fighters together. I had to have had 10 centimeters and 13 kilos on you. I figured I'd kick your butt, but it was what, like all of thirty seconds, until I was flat on my back on the canvas? I sure was surprised to find out later that I was sparring with my quad leader," Will said with a laugh.

"You helped me through a lot of stuff that first year, and now I realize that you knew what I was going through being the youngest cadet in my class. I wonder if that's not why Boothby sort of threw us together?" Will pondered.

"I remember once us sitting up talking about our fathers. That was something else we had in common, not necessarily being comfortable with what our Dads wanted us to be. Although I got to admit, at least my Dad didn't want me to be the leader of an entire tribe!" Chakotay looked a bit embarrassed when he heard Will mention that, he tried to downplay his importance in his tribe as much as he could.

"Without your coaxing, I don't think I'd have had the guts to try out for Nova squad in my second year. And I still think you should have been in command instead of Jack Wild. Man did he have the right name," Riker continued.

"Hey remember that flight he took us on to celebrate your 22nd birthday? I guess it was really your nineteenth. We were supposed to be going to Angel Falls in Venezuela, but Jack decided to alter the flight plan. I remember you asked him if we should report the deviation, but he said no. Next thing you know we ran into that dampening field over Guatemala. Had to crash-land the fighters in an open field. Then you recognized the place as the area your father had taken you to just before you entered the academy. Apparently your Dad had convinced the Federation council to erect the dampening field to protect that primitive Native American tribe your tribe was suppose to be related to. Man, I remember walking in that heat and humidity to get out of the dampening field to where we could get our communicators to work, only we never did. But what I remember most was that little village you had us head for where you knew we could get a message out past the dampening field. Everyone in the village spoke Mayan and Spanish and almost no one spoke more than a few words of Standard. Without you and Mike Ramirez, we'd have been in sad shape," Riker laughed a bit, and then continued.

"I thought it was a riot the way Jack Wild tried to get you to help him hit on that pretty gal in the cantina, it was obvious to everyone but Jack that she only had eyes for you. The look on his face when Mike translated for her that she wasn't interested in him was good, but the look on your face was priceless, when she turned to you and said she was interested in you. Mike translated that for us after you left with her. I remember thinking for a 22 year old you seemed mighty shy, but now I get it, you were only 19, it makes more sense now. Oh my God, I just had a thought, that wasn't your first time with a woman was it Chakotay? Oh man, I hope not 'cause we were really given you the business that evening. Oh well, such are the hazards of a guy who lies about his age I guess."

Chakotay hoped his dark coloring was hiding his embarrassment, Maria hadn't been his first but she was the first woman he'd been with where others knew what was about to take place and it had really made him feel awkward at the time.

"Of course all of this is distracting me from the second reason I'm pissed off at you. Do you remember the spring of that year; I kept saying there was this girl I wanted to date? She was a year behind me, and already as a first year cadet she was working on an honor thesis. I finally got someone to set us up on a blind date, and then she runs out on me in the middle of dinner! You told me not to worry, there were plenty of fish in the sea and that one girl couldn't possible be all that special, but here you are marrying her!" Riker waited a beat, and then continued.

"Yeah, that's right the girl who I wanted to date, because I thought she was so special, and that you told me to forget about, was none other than Kathryn Janeway! So see, I was right all along! She is special and there are not a lot of other women in the universe like her. So you better be good to her, or so help me, I'll come out there to the Delta quadrant and try to take her away from you," Riker said with a laugh.

"Hey, in all seriousness I hope the two of you are very happy, and well, I got to admit you're giving me ideas here. I guess I always have followed your lead. Maybe getting married wouldn't be such a bad thing after all. Just don't let Deanna or her mother know I said that!" Riker concluded.

With that, the roast was over and it was time to move on to the more exotic forms of entertainment Tom and Harry had programmed. They had a number of human and Bajoran strippers and some Orion slave girls. The men had all been drinking fairly heartily during the roast, and so soon the room was filled with whistles and raucous voices calling out to the dancers. At one point, a blonde stripper finished her routine and was left with nothing on but her high heels, a feather boa and a smile, she walked down from the stage area and over to where Chakotay was seated and proceeded to do a lap dance for him. She squirmed and gyrated, using his body like it was one of the poles the girls usually used when dancing. Finally she sat in his lap, draping her legs over the side of his legs, giving him a very clear view of her sex, she leaned forward, her ample breasts pushing against his chest, and whispered something in his ear, then she got up and walked away from him trailing her feather boa behind her, stopping occasionally to look back at him. Chakotay excused himself, saying he seemed to be needed elsewhere, and then followed the buxom naked blonde back to a door marked private.

When the door closed behind him, Chakotay suddenly found himself wondering if this was such a good idea after all. His wedding to Kathryn was only a few days away, and here he was contemplating having sex with another woman, but then again she was just a hologram wasn't she? Was sex with a hologram cheating, or was it just a more creative way of jacking off? Before he could make up his mind, the hologram, she said her name was Lily, came over to him and began running her hands all over his chest and arms, making comments about how good looking he was.

"Uh, I'm not so sure I can do this," Chakotay said nervously.

"But why not? You certainly seem well-equipped for it," she said in an accent he couldn't quite place, as she palmed his erection through his pants.

"Uh, well you see," he said as he moved away from her a little, "I'm getting married in a few days and I really shouldn't be doing something like this," he replied.

"Nonsense, all men have a last fling before they get married, it's natural and it's expected. Besides, unless you plan on telling her, I'm sure your fiancée will never find out. I mean, your friends at the party won't tell on you, will they?"

The whole time she was trying to convince him to give in with words, she worked with her hands and body to convince him too. Chakotay was torn, he couldn't convince himself that sex with this hologram wouldn't be cheating, but he really wanted to quench the fire in his loins. Finally he decided on a compromise, he wouldn't have intercourse with her, that would be real sex, but he could let her 'drain his radiator' as an old buddy of his use to say. He laughed a little to himself as he realized that, until he'd met Tom, he hadn't a clue what a radiator was.

"Do you know how to give a blow job?" he asked her.

"Oh yes, of course," she said with a smile, "is that what you want?" she asked.

"Yeah," Chakotay said as he pushed her down to her knees in front of him. He suddenly decided not only did he want this little hologram to suck him off, but he wanted to be a little bit of a bad boy about it, so he grabbed a handful of her long blonde hair in his right fist and told her roughly, "undo my pants, bitch."

The hologram was well-programmed and realized her 'customer' wanted to play out a little fantasy, so she went along with it. She unzipped his pants and began to push down his boxers, so she could get to his cock, when he suddenly wrenched her back by the hair.

"Did I tell you to do that, bitch? Don't get ahead of yourself," he said as he used his left hand to pull his penis free of his clothes. He played his cock around her face slapping it on her cheeks and lips, grinning almost evilly as he did so.

"OK, now open your mouth nice and big," Chakotay ordered the young blonde.

She reached out her hands to control how much of his cock slid into her mouth, but Chakotay pulled her back with the hand he still had wound in her mane of hair. "Ah ah, no hands slut, just your mouth. In fact, you just better give me those hands of yours," he said as he grabbed hold of both of her hands in his left hand and pulled them over her head, watching in delight as her nipples hardened with the thrill of the rough treatment.

Chakotay began pumping his big hard cock in and out of the blonde stripper's mouth, using the hand he had wound in her hair to force her to take his cock deep down her throat. He wondered briefly who had programmed her so realistically as she nearly gagged as his cock filled her gullet. He'd been pretty keyed up when he got started, so it didn't take long for him to climax and soon he was grunting and shooting his cum down throat and into her belly. She licked her lips and kissed his cock as it began to return to a less aroused state.

Chakotay felt bad about what he'd just done. He wasn't sure if he felt bad about it because he still felt like it was cheating, or if he felt bad because of the way he'd used Lily, but all he knew was he couldn't stand to look at the hologram anymore.

"Computer delete holographic character," Chakotay said, and just as he did and Lily began to disappear, he realized his mistake. Lily's holographic body had been the repository of his semen, which now had nothing to hold it, so it splattered to the floor of the holodeck.

"Oh brilliant, now I gotta find something to clean that up with," he said morosely.

After requesting a towel from the computer (a real towel - replicated and beamed into the room) to clean up the mess he'd made, he returned to the party and pretended to have a good time. At least he was pretending early on, after he got a bit drunker he put Lily out of his mind, and just had a good time drinking, talking, laughing, dancing with the pretty girls and watching the younger guys like Icheb and Gerron get drunk and frisky.

Meanwhile in holodeck 1 the women were likewise having a blast. They had presented Kathryn with useful, if sometimes outrageous gifts, like the bottle of blue pills that Megan and Jenny gave her, which they said would help, if Chakotay should ever need any help getting it up, though they suspected that, with the negligee that Pakrité had given her the pills should prove unnecessary, at least the first few times, on their wedding night.

The women also roasted Kathryn, much as the men had done Chakotay, and it was her sister Phoebe's tape, that everyone found the most entertaining, as Phoebe knew about all of Kathryn's old boyfriends and made sure everyone at the party did too.

Finally it came time for the exotic entertainment to begin and out came a lineup of men to put Chippendale's to shame. The men strutted their stuff and the women hooted and hollered. Then Pakrité showed the women how to give the guys tips (now why one tips a hologram is anyone's guess), she showed them how to fold the Tépean currency and then slip it into the dancer's g-string while copping a feel. Eventually the male dancers all chose partners amongst the women and proceeded to teach them how to 'dance hot'. B'Elanna said the dancing reminded her of a 20th century movie she'd watched on Tom's TV set called Dirty Dancing.

Finally some of the women began heading off with the various dancers for a few minutes at a time into small rooms off the club's main floor. From their flushed faces, Kathryn had little doubt what was going on behind the doors marked private. She was really torn between wanting to let the really cute Tépean dancer she'd been dancing with have his way with her, and remaining true to Chakotay. Of course she wasn't sure if being with a hologram was cheating or not, but then again she'd always felt guilty about being with Michael, and so had never 'gone all the way' with him. Maybe she could strike the same balance with this Tépean dancer? She decided to give it a try as she wandered over to the nearest door marked private with the young dancer's hand in hers.

When the door closed the young dancer, Lenpe wasted no time. He began helping Kathryn out of her clothes, as he was wearing nothing but a G-string he didn't need much assistance. When he had her naked she stopped him for a moment and made sure he understood her 'parameters'. He looked a little disappointed but then smiled like a little boy and said OK. He began making a feast of her body, laving her breasts with his tongue and then licking his way down her belly to her pussy. He expertly fingered and licked her sex until she was screaming, her pussy was quivering and she was dripping with her own fluids. Then he quite unexpectedly flipped her over and began giving her anus as much attention as he had her cunt. Kathryn was shocked and at first was going to stop him, but it felt so good. She'd never had anyone do those things to her before, oh she'd had lovers who had asked her to let them perform anal sex, but that had just meant letting a man shove his cock up her ass. She'd reluctantly given in a few times and endured it, but this was different, this felt good! When he brought her to another orgasm with his ministration to her ass, he finally begged her to let him relieve his own sexual tension. At first she thought he wanted to do what she'd already said she wouldn't allow, but he indicated no, he just wanted to masturbate while looking at her beautiful body, She relented and so he did, eventually shooting his holographic cum over her breasts and belly.

As Kathryn got dressed she began to have that same old nagging doubt about sex with a hologram, was it anything more than masturbation, after all the hologram wasn't real, but God the feelings through out her body were. She rejoined the rest of the ladies at the party and began drinking more seriously than she had before.

June 18 0300 Sickbay

Icheb felt strange after all the excitement in the holodeck and decided he needed to see the doctor. "Computer activate Emergency Medical Hologram," the young man requested.

As the EMH materialized he was a bit surprised to see the young Borg in front of him. He'd expected casualties from the bachelor party but somehow it hadn't occurred to his program that Chakotay and Tom Paris and Harry Kim would be so cavalier as to let young Icheb indulge in such activities.

"So Icheb what can I do for you?" the EMH asked.

"I do not feel well, Doctor. I believe I may have overindulged at Commander Chakotay's bachelor party," Icheb said as he climbed up on a biobed.

At that exact moment Kathryn Janeway entered the sickbay unnoticed by the Borg teen or the EMH.

"I see and exactly what transpired at this party?" the EMH asked as he took readings of Icheb, noticing that the young Borg was extremely intoxicated.

Kathryn flattened herself to a wall, she didn't want to be discovered until she found out what indeed had transpired at her fiancé's bachelor party.

"Well, everybody had a lot to drink, while people told stories about the Commander. There were some taped messages from friends of his in the Alpha quadrant, including a man who claimed to have had a blind date with the captain while she was a first year cadet. She apparently ran out on the man in the middle of dinner," Icheb reported in an inebriated voice. "That seems rude, doesn't it?" the young man asked.

Kathryn blanched; Will Riker and Chakotay were friends? Oh great!

"Then there were these women who danced and took their clothes off. One of them danced naked on the commander and then he followed her to a door marked private and he went inside with her. When another one of the dancers asked me to go with her to a private room, I thought it would be OK as the commander had done the same thing," Icheb reported.

"I see and what did you do after you went into the private room, Icheb?" the EMH asked, feeling like he shouldn't pry into his young friends private business, but knowing as his doctor that he should find out if Icheb was feeling okay with what transpired.

"I had sex with Iris, that was the name of the dancer," Icheb said in a matter of fact sort of way. "I've never done it before, but it seemed to come naturally and," he leaned forwarded and lowered his voice, "I really liked it. I am anxious to try it with a real girl," he added.

Unbeknownst to them the EMH and Kathryn were both thinking similar things, first that someone needed to sit down with Icheb and explain the facts of life to him, and also explain that a real girl might react very differently than a hologram and that well, he would probably need to be more considerate of a real girl. Second, while the EMH was thinking that Chakotay was in big trouble if Kathryn found out about the shenanigans at the bachelor party, Kathryn was thinking what big trouble Chakotay was in now that she knew about what went on at his bachelor party.

"Uh, yes, well you seem to be very drunk Icheb, I'm giving you a detox hypo and you are to go regenerate for at least 6 hours. Do you understand me?" the EMH asked.

"Yes sir," he said as he hopped off the biobed and started for the sickbay doors, "Hello captain," Icheb said as he headed out the door, oblivious to the fact she'd been eavesdropping.

"Hello captain, what can I do for you?' the EMH asked and looked for evidence that the captain had overheard his conversation with Icheb.

"I seem to have had a bit too much to drink at my bachelorette party and thought I might get a detox hypospray from you," she said without giving a thing away.

"Of course, I suppose I'll be giving out quite a few of these tonight or tomorrow morning to those not wise enough to stop in tonight," the EMH said.

"Yes," she said, as she wondered whether Chakotay would fit in the latter category. She hoped so, oh how she hoped he would put off until tomorrow morning getting a detox hypospray. Then she could read him the riot act while his head throbbed to beat the band. 'How dare he have sex with a hologram a few days before their wedding!' she thought to herself, totally ignoring the good time she'd had herself that night courtesy of the hands and mouth of a hologram.

Once the doctor was finished with her, she bid him a hasty good night and then went about planning how she was going to ream Chakotay. She checked with the computer about his whereabouts and the computer reported that he was in his quarters asleep. 'Good' she thought to herself, 'I'll go get a few hours of sleep myself, then go wake him up bright and early with a few choice words,' and with that she headed to her quarters for those few hours of sleep.

June 18, 2378 0700 Chakotay's quarters

As soon as she entered his quarters she could hear Chakotay snoring, which was uncommon for him. Probably a sign of how drunk he was. She marched herself into his bedroom and threw back the covers off her slumbering fiancé, revealing that he'd slept in his clothes from the night before. She called as loudly as she could, "Computer, lights 100%".

Chakotay sat up in bed and put his hands over his ears and squinted his eyes shut.

"Ow, Computer lights off," he said in a strained tone of voice.

"Computer, Lights 100%," she countermanded again in a loud voice.

"Kathryn, for pity sake can't you talk any softer?" Chakotay asked, and then added, "Computer lights 25%."

"Computer, lights 100%, " Kathryn said again, this time not quite so loud.

Chakotay got out of bed and said, "Computer, lights 50%, and don't you change it again," he added in a warning voice.

Kathryn decided to give in, as he had set the lights higher each time she'd countermanded him.

"Where do you think you're going, mister. We have a few things to talk about," she said, as she watched him walk past her.

"To the bathroom, I prefer throwing up in the toilet rather than all over my bed," he said just before he knelt down and vomited into the toilet.

"Oh," she said in disgust.

"Sorry," he said as he got up, rinsed his mouth out and dried his face on a towel, "but you're the one here at the crack of dawn after …" he trailed off realizing he was about to admit to being at a bachelor party.

"After what?' she demanded, then continued before letting him answer, "After that debauchery you call a bachelor party?"

'Uh oh, she found out and she sounds plenty mad, wonder what she's so bent out of shape about,' he thought then said, "Oh, and like you weren't at a bachelorette party last night in the other holodeck?" he accused.

"So what if I was? I wasn't fucking some stripper!" she accused.

"What? What gives you the idea I was fucking a stripper?" he asked, wondering how much she knew and how much she was guessing, and who it was he ought to beat to a pulp for letting the information out.

"I heard Icheb telling the doctor about it," she said.

"Well, I don't know what you heard while you were eavesdropping on the doctor and Icheb, but I didn't fuck that stripper," he said. The moment the words were out of his mouth he knew he'd screwed up. He'd just admitted that there was a stripper.

"So, you were with a stripper." she said as though she'd won a major victory.

"Yeah, OK I was, but I didn't fuck her, and I don't know what the big deal would be if I had. After all she was just a hologram, like your buddy Michael," he countered.

"Don't you dare throw Michael up in my face, you told me to go ahead and see him," she countered.

Chakotay remembered doing that, he didn't want to, but felt he had to give her some way out. Besides it was easier thinking she'd be letting a hologram do her, than some real live alien on some shore leave.

"Yes, I did and it tore me up to do it, but I felt like I had to make it easier for you to do," he said sadly.

"Oh Chakotay," she said, her anger beginning to melt away. "I never let him, I mean we never, we never went all the way," she said as awkwardly as a teenager. "I just couldn't, it would have felt like I was cheating on you. That's why I couldn't let that hologram do it last night either," she admitted.

"What? You were with some hologram last night and you still come in here this morning busting my balls about my getting a blow job from a holographic stripper!" Chakotay bellowed, and then put his hand to his head as his hangover began to reassert itself.

It finally dawned on her that she had been using a double standard and she felt very ashamed of herself. "Yes," she admitted meekly, "I know you must think I'm a colossal bitch to do that and you're probably right. I just, I don't know I thought of you with someone else, even a holographic someone else and I just saw red. I'm sorry. Can you forgive me?" she asked gently.

Chakotay looked at her a moment and all the anger he felt melted away. "Okay, on one condition," he said.

"Well, as long as that condition isn't making love to you before the wedding, anything," she replied.

"No, it's not that," he said with a grin. "Could you get me a detox hypo spray and can we please turn the lights off so I can get a few more hours of sleep?" he requested.

"Sure, anything for you, beloved." She said just before calling the EMH and ordering the lights out.
