Pt 2
(Feedback is great! Pansy Loves feedback!)
Phoebe had decided that her sister was in a bit of a funk. She had tired to reason with her for months, however the only answer that she ever got was that she was recovering from 7 years in the Delta Quadrant. But Phoebe was feed up with her attitude. Phoebe only knew one thing that could make her sister retreat like an unfriendly alien species, a man.
"So Kathryn are you going to tell me who it is?"
Kathryn rocked on the stool, picking at her food, that was in front of her. "Tell you what?"
"Honestly Kathryn, this man must be something really special to make you fitter away your last good years."
"And what is that supposed to mean Phoebe's?"
"All I am saying is that your not getting any younger, and you need to snag yourself a husband before that Borg decides to a simulate him."
"Seven is no longer part of the collective Phoebe, and Chakotay is a grown man who can take care of himself." As soon as Kathryn had uttered the words she knew that her sister had trapped her. She bit her lip trying to hide the truth. But it was to late, Phoebe knew.
"Chakotay huh, sounds exotic. Well whoever he is he has to be an improvement over Mark."
"Do I need to remind you that Mark and I were engaged?"
"You two were engaged for so many years that most people thought you were already married. And besides he was a wuss. You two played tennis once and he nearly cried when you hit him accidentally with the ball."
Kathryn could fight her sister all she wanted, but she knew that she was right. Mark had been safe his entire life, he had never challenged anything or anyone. Perhaps that was one of the reasons that she was drawn to Chakotay in the first place.
Even as friends their relationship had more dings than Voyager itself. They had always been able to patch Voyager, but their relationship couldn't be patched so quickly or easily.
"So are you going to tell me about him Kathryn, or are you going to make me guess?"
"What exactly do you want to know Phoebe?"
"Everything!"
