Season Two is not my specialty, why do you think most episodes in our Season Two are our own. Also this episode kind of mixes in with original episode Parturition.

Episode Based In
December 2371 (early season 2)

Last time on B4 Fifth Voyager
Tom rushed out of the turbolift, "everyone guess what."

"You found your brain?" Jessie said questioningly.

Tom glared at her, he put his middle finger up at her. "No, Sam's having her baby."

"That's wonderful news," Chakotay said.

**
"Um guys. There's a convoy of Vidiian ships nearby, should we panic?" Harry asked nervously.

"We must be heading into their territory," Chakotay replied.

Harry shook his head, "there's a plasma drift nearby. It should hide us from their sensors."

**
"The baby has shifted position, her cranial ridges are lodged into the uteran wall," the Doctor said.

"That doesn't sound nice," Lee commented. Samantha punched him with her left hand, he fell on the floor.

"We'll have to do a fetal transport," the Doctor said.

**
"It's nothing much, a load of technobabble is draining the power," Jessie said.

"Nothing much, without power we're doomed. Doomed!" Tom exclaimed. Everyone stared at him.

In: "We could easily do the proton bursts, it's no problem Captain."

"Good, do it," Kathryn commanded.

**
James opened his eyes again, a bright light was shining in his eyes.

"I think he's coming out of it," the Doctor's voice said.

"No kidding, his eyes are open," Kes's voice muttered.

**
"Yeah I guess. So, Sam's had her kid," James said.

Kathryn smiled, "yes she has. She's called her Naomi."

**
"It's very odd, they're both exactly the same in every way," the Doctor replied. He and Kathryn started walking towards a different biobed.

"Can you wake her?" Kathryn asked.

"Yes, no problem," the Doctor replied.

"Good, cos I really can't wait to hear her story," Kathryn said. She and the Doctor stopped by a biobed, which another Kes was lying on.

"Soo, there's two Voyagers now?" Danny said questioningly.

"I think we have a problem, I mean you said that all the matter has been duplicated," Chakotay said.

"Yeah.. the antimatter hasn't been duplicated. Both ships have tried to run on a single source of antimatter," B'Elanna said.

"Like twins connected by the chest, but only one heart," Kathryn said.

**
"Yeah, I rigged the device to allow Kes to go through safely," Harry replied.

"Rig another one, I'm going with her," Kathryn ordered.

**
"There's a ship coming for us, it's the Vidiians," Tom 2 said.

"Shields," Kathryn 2 ordered.

"Can't, not enough power," Chakotay 2 said.

"Oh I know what they're doing, they're attaching to our hull. We're being boarded," Harry replied.

**
"We're not just going to let you all be killed," Kathryn 2 said.

"I'm not about to let that happen, I'll destroy this ship," Kathryn said.

"Sounds good, I'll just have my explosion immunity injection and we'll be all set," James said sarcastically.

Kathryn looked a bit pale, "for crying out loud. Computer, initiate self destruct sequence. Authorisation Janeway Pi 110, silent ten minute count down." She turned to Harry. "Harry, get the baby and go to the other Voyager."

"What happens if the Vidiians get to the bridge before the explosion?" Chakotay asked.

"I have an idea, it involves lots of coffee," James replied.

**
"James, I'm so glad you're going to die," Chakotay muttered.

"I'm taking you with me," James said.

Kathryn was now totally high on caffeine, she was standing on her chair dancing and singing to Take Your Shoes Off by the Cheeky Girls.. using pom poms too. Two Vidiians came out of the turbolift, they screamed and ran back in.

The two Vidiians screamed, actually so did everybody, luckily for them the ship blew up just at that moment.

"The Vidiian ship has been destroyed, so has the other Voyager," Chakotay replied.

**
Samantha looked confused, "is he your.."

"No.. no of course not," Kathryn quickly replied.

"Why would you lie about something like that? Are you ashamed of him or something?" Samantha said.

"Ashamed of him? No, more ashamed of me," Kathryn said. She sighed, "don't tell anyone about this."

"I wont, but I'm very confused," Samantha said.

**
"Um.. sorry I don't remember you," Jessie replied.

"It's ok, it was quite a large crew on a small ship," Randy said. He glanced at the biobed. "I've seen him around too."

"Um yeah, he's in a coma," Danny said. She looked at a conveniently placed watch, "oh crap, I'm late for my date. See you two later." She rushed out of the room.

"I remember you now, you're that girl I kept seeing but something always got in the way of me meeting you," Randy said. Randy looked at the biobed again, "him.. he always came over. I figured he was your boyfriend or something."

"He wasn't," Jessie said.

"Still single? I really wanted to ask you out," Randy said.

"Um wasn't, but he is now," Jessie said quietly.

**
"Sure, the more company the better," Jessie replied.

"There's only me and you here," Randy said.

Jessie glanced at the biobed, "and James."

Randy tried to hide his frustration, "yes, how could I forget."

And now the conclusion
Sickbay:
Samantha ran through the main door holding Naomi in her arms, who by the way was crying her eyes out. "Doctor!" Sam screamed.

The Doctor, Kes, and Jessie looked in her direction. Kes went over to her. "What's wrong?"

"I was hoping you'd tell me, she wont stop crying," Sam cried.

Kes pulled a face, "I think she needs changing."

"Wow, how did you know that?" Sam asked.

Kes and everyone who was conscious held their noses. "It's pretty obvious," Kes mumbled.

"Oh," Sam said, blushing violently. She rushed out of the room.

Meanwhile:
Randy was standing in front of a large window inside a bright bedroom. The sunlight was shining straight through the window and reflecting off the nearby computer monitor.

"I must say, you lived in a nice cheerful place," Randy said. He turned away from the window, then folded his arms.

"I can't say you help make it anymore cheerful," James said. He stood closer to the bed near the window.

"Now now, lets not be too hasty. I haven't done anything to you just yet," Randy said.

"Just yet, sounds promising," James said.

Randy smiled, "it does, doesn't it?" He made his way around the bed. "You see, you have something I don't. I can't understand how, I mean I'm more handsome, and much taller. Did I mention I'm more hunky?"

"In your dreams you are maybe," James said.

"Ah, you don't get it. This is your dream. Oh and by the way, you can't say that I'm not taller than you shortie," Randy said.

"You know there's a handbook for all the bully wannabes. It has all the insults you need to use so you get your a** kicked by people like me," James said.

"Careful, you can't do anything where you are now. I can just press a button and you're dead. It would be a lot easier for me, but I prefer the long and hard way," Randy said.

"What are you on about?" James asked.

Randy looked at his watch, "oh dear, time for the next nightmare. I kinda spent too much time yapping, I do that sometimes." He headed for the bedroom door.

"Wait, what were you talking about?" James asked.

"You'll find out, if you live long enough," Randy replied. He stepped out of the room.

Sickbay:
Tom strutted his way into the room, he went over to Kes who was working. "Hey babe, what you doing?"

Kes rolled her eyes, "nothing but I'll find something." She walked off.

Tom cringed, "strike one." He went over to Jessie. "Hey babe, how's the corpse? Not moving good, ok me and you tonight at eight."

Jessie narrowed her eyes, she pulled herself off the biobed and then kneed Tom in a sensitive place. "Sure, we can do that again," she said as she went back on the biobed.

"Strike two," Tom squeaked. He fell onto the ground. Eventually he managed to crawl his way out of the room. Randy passed him and gave him an odd glare.

Kes went back over to the console she was at before. "What can I do for you?"

"Oh nothing, just visiting," Randy replied. He made his way over to Jessie. "Here again?"

Jessie glanced up at him, "yeah of course. It's better than duty."

"I don't get it, how is it better than duty?" Randy said questioningly.

"An odd few minutes of the Doctor, all day with Janeway, no comparison," Jessie replied.

"Ah right, it's nothing to do with the other company then," Randy said.

"Well actually.. I said it in a way you'd understand. I'm here in case James wakes up too," Jessie said.

Randy sat down on the nearby biobed. "That I don't get, wont the Doctor or Kes tell you when or if he does."

"When he does.. yeah they would but I'd rather be the first one he sees. I don't want him to think I don't care about him," Jessie said.

"Correct me if I'm wrong, but if it were me in the coma and I woke up, I wouldn't be happy to see you. I'd get the impression you wasted ages sitting nearby me," Randy said.

"Um.. that doesn't make any sense," Jessie muttered.

"When I said wasted ages, I meant he wouldn't be happy that you hung around so much when you should of been living. You know like eating, sleeping etc," Randy said.

"Oh I get it. You're right, he probably would but I still would rather be here," Jessie said.

Randy shook his head, "there's been no change in months and I doubt you've had any fun during that time. Why don't I take you out?"

Jessie sighed, "I dunno, what if he.."

"Just think about yourself for a change, I think you earned that. Just a friendly meal in the Mess Hall. What do you say?" Randy said questioningly.

"I guess I am a bit hungry.. ok but just for ten minutes," Jessie said.

"Thirty," Randy said with a smile.

"Fifteen," Jessie said.

"Twenty, my final offer," Randy said.

Jessie sighed, "ok ok fine."

A little while later:
"I feel like Leola tonight, oh Leola tonight," Neelix sang as he strolled down the corridor.

Neelix heard Kes' voice not far behind him, "Tom will you leave me alone." He quickly turned a corner and stopped there. Kes then came into sight.

"What are you talking about, I just need to go down this way," Tom protested as he came into view also.

"Why did you think 'ah there's Kes, I think I'll follow her' then?" Kes said angrily.

"Damn you telepathic girl," Tom muttered under his breath.

"Tom, I don't like you.. just give it up!" Kes snapped. She disappeared around a different corridor.

Tom sighed, "damn."

Neelix quickly turned back around then continued on his way. Tom turned the same corner a little while later.

The Mess Hall:
Danny joined Jessie and Randy at one of the tables. Danny snatched a chip off Jessie's plate.

"Hey, get your own," Jessie moaned in response.

"Sorry, a girl's gotta eat," Danny said innocently.

"Aren't I a girl too?" Jessie protested. Danny grinned.

"You look like a pretty decent one to me," Randy commented. He stood up, then headed towards the galley.

"Hmm, they don't call him Randy for nothing," Danny giggled. She sat down in Randy's chair.

"Thanks Dan, that makes me feel better," Jessie muttered.

"Oh it's my pleasure," Danny said.

Jessie sighed, "you'd think he'd try to hide that little crush he has, it'll make it easier to hang out."

"You're kidding right? James was kinda the same right?" Danny said.

"Sure whatever, but he's going out with me now. No way am I dating a guy that big, and kinda weird," Jessie said.

Danny giggled, "yeah you'd need a box to stand on to kiss him."

"Oh come on, quit it. You know what I mean though, it gets awkward whenever he says stuff like that," Jessie said.

"Jess, he's just trying to win you over. Remember, he's telepathic so he obviously knows you and James are just practising dating. Unless you're not doing that," Danny said.

Jessie's eyes widened, "he's telepathic?"

"I thought you knew," Danny said.

"Well I guess I didn't," Jessie said.

Danny glanced back and forth nervously. "Ooh my bad. Look just tell him you're not interested."

Kes came over to the table, she sat down in between Danny and Jessie. "If he's telepathic he should already know that," Jessie said.

"Already know what?" Kes asked.

"That Jessie's only interested in practising with her coma boyfriend, than actually going for the real thing with a guy who really likes her," Danny said.

"Yeah but there's nothing wrong with that? I'm no where near ready for the real thing," Jessie said.

Danny grinned cheekily, "it's not like you have barely any experience in making out and the occasional lovers quarrel." Jessie rolled her eyes.

"What more is there to it anyway?" Randy asked as he came back to the table. He now had a glass in his hand.

The three girls glanced up at him. "Oops, how much did you hear?" Jessie asked nervously.

"Well lets just say I don't insult anybody's name like somebody did," Randy replied.

Danny pretended to look shocked, "Kes, how could you!"

"Don't put the blame on me, I've only been here a minute if you're lucky," Kes said.

"Soo, you heard everything," Jessie said.

"I sure did. I'm not bothered really. You can continue to date your shorty best friend, it doesn't bother me that much anymore," Randy said, with a bit of deception in his voice.

"Uh huh really," Jessie muttered. She glanced at Danny and Kes, "shorty?"

"Jessie, it isn't Kes' fault she's small, plus she's still growing," Danny said. She looked at everyone expecting some kind of laughter, she didn't get any.

Kes raised her eyebrow, "thanks Danny."

"Look I'm going to go now. Oh and before I forget I just want to say, what kind of tart even thinks of sleeping with her best friend anyway?" Randy said angrily. He stormed out of the room.

Kes glanced in Jessie's direction. Danny shrugged, "his parents should of called him Angry." Her eyes widened suddenly, she glanced towards Jessie. "Wait, is what he said true?"

Jessie blushed a little, but looked a little confused, "um well, not exactly."

"Not exactly?" Kes said questioningly.

"You know, it was earlier when we were talking about me not being ready for the real thing yet. I just thought of something then just briefly," Jessie said.

"And?" Danny said.

"For crying out loud, it was nothing. I just thought something like, how far would a practise relationship have to go. That's it," Jessie said.

"Remember what happened to me, Jess. Terry and I were a practising couple too and look how that turned out," Danny said.

"Danny just forget it, it'll probably never happen. Whenever I think about that, I just remember that dream I had as a teen," Jessie said.

"What dream?" Kes asked.

Danny leaned on the table to get closer to Kes. "When we were about 11, I told her how our species has kids and.."

Jessie raised her eyebrow, "not exactly. You just told me about it, you didn't tell me that it was related to having kids. James was the one who had to tell me that."

Danny stared blankly, she laughed, "oh yeah that's right."

"The dream," Kes said.

"Oh right. Well Jessie got totally put off having kids because of this dream she had," Danny said. She glanced at Jessie like she wanted her to finish the story.

Jessie groaned, "I just dreamt of being raped."

Danny coughed, "finish it."

Jessie rolled her eyes, "by James."

Kes looked confused, "what's rape?"

Danny half rolled her eyes, she headbutted the table once. "Come closer, I'll tell you." She whispered a few things in Kes' ear.

"Oh I see.. wait, that doesn't sound like him," Kes said.

"That's what I thought, but it still puts her off completely," Danny said.

"You're right, he does have a violent nature though but.." Jessie said.

"But?" Danny said questioningly.

"I've been seeing him for months, he's no where near violent when it comes to stuff like that so maybe you're right," Jessie said.

Danny looked worried, "what am I saying.. I should be warning you about the dangers. What if he.."

"I get it.. but James isn't Terry, plus you barely knew him compared to how much I know James. If anyone strays after something like that, it would be most likely me," Jessie said.

Danny nodded, "I see your point. When James wakes up I'll give him the warning."

"No way, you're not telling him. Just because I feel differently, doesn't mean I want to rush into it. I'll tell him at a later time," Jessie said.

"Ok when you do, then can I warn him?" Danny asked sweetly.

"Ohno," Kes groaned. She placed her hand over her face.

"What?" Jessie said.

"Tom's come in with Harry, he's been following me for days," Kes muttered.

"Oh I get it, I've been there," Jessie said.

Tom and Harry sat down at a nearby table, with plates of what looked like spaghetti bolognese.

In: "Janeway to Kim, report to the bridge.. oh and bring some coffee. Janeway out."

Harry groaned as he stood back up. "Have a nice lunch," he said teasingly. He walked away.

"Look, I'll see you two later," Kes whispered. She stood up and left the room.

Neelix stormed his way over to Tom's table. "Do you think I'm stupid or something?"

"Huh, what are you talking about?" Tom said innocently.

"You two, sitting with your back's to each other trying to act like there's nothing going on. Is that suppose to fool me?" Neelix said.

Tom groaned and put down his fork. "Look, there's nothing going on. I swear."

"Liar," Neelix grumbled. He pushed Harry's plate into Tom's chest.

"Hey!" Tom exclaimed. He stood up with the other plate in his hand. "Eat spaghetti bolognese furball!" He pushed his own plate into Neelix's face.

"Eeew, it's got hair in it now," Danny groaned.

"Oh, that's the secret ingredient," Neelix said cheerfully. Jessie and Danny cringed as they both pushed their plates away.

"Hello, we're fighting here," Tom said.

"Oh yeah," Neelix muttered. He punched Tom in the chest, Tom punched him back. Neelix pushed him onto the ground, the two started rolling around not really hurting each other though. Everyone gathered around to watch.

"Rooting for Neelix?" Jessie asked with a grin. Danny nodded with a cheesy grin on her face.

In: "Janeway to Paris and Neelix."

"Damn it.. where's James when you need him to bust Tom's nose," Danny moaned. Jessie tried to suppress a smirk.

"Er yes Captain?" both Tom and Neelix stuttered.

In: "Just checking on you.. oh to hell with it, can either of you stop by the bridge with some coffee. I know you're in the Mess Hall."

"No we're busy, Paris out. Now, where were we?" Tom said. He and Neelix started 'fighting' again.

End of Part I

Part II

Later Holodeck One:
"Does the writers even know what hover ball is?" Chakotay asked. A ball hit him right in the face.

"Nope probably not, it's still good enough for me," B'Elanna replied.

Chakotay let go of the ball in mid air, it started floating. He hit it across the net. "It seems very volley ball to me."

The pair passed the ball to each other for a while. Eventually it hit Chakotay in the eye.

In: "Janeway to Chakotay.."

"No, no coffee!" Chakotay yelled.

In: "No, that's not what it is this time, but that would be nice. Just come to the bridge."

The bridge:
Chakotay stepped onto the bridge, "this better not be about coffee, remember."

"It isn't. There's a thingy out there with a Federation signature.. though Janeway did think it was a coffee jar in space," Danny said from the helm.

"This is cool, we're finally going home," Harry giggled. Everyone glanced at him looking worried.

"Ookay, like that'll happen in the second season... maybe in the seventh or eighth though," Jessie commented.

"Way to ruin the mood Jessie. At least give this ray of useless hope a chance," Chakotay said.

"Who votes we get stupidly close to it?" Kathryn asked. Everyone raised their hands, Tuvok just raised his eyebrow. "Ok Danny, do your stuff."

Jessie cringed, "phew, that was close."

Danny glanced backwards innocently, "did someone say do your stuff to me?"

Jessie put her hand over her face, she groaned. "Ohno, not the Shakira dance, Dan.. anything but that."

Danny grinned, "why not?"

Chakotay stared blankly at Danny, and then Jessie. "Anyway."

"I meant, set a course for the signal," Kathryn said.

"Didn't notice, aye Captain," Danny said.

A little while later:
"Well so far so jinxed," Danny commented.

"I hate it when someone does that," Harry muttered.

"Hey there's a Kazon ship coming out of that nebula," Danny said, she looked around innocently. "Should I have kept quiet?"

"Nah.. it's not like we've seen the Kazon that much anyway. They can't be that good of villains," Jessie replied. The ship shook several times.

"A hole is appearing in our shields," Tuvok said.

"Change the frequency or something," Kathryn ordered.

"Aye Captain," Tuvok said.

Chakotay shook his head, "nope, they're still firing through our shields. Wait, this computer actually does ship things, cool."

Kathryn glanced at the computer, "no that's just Space Invaders, and where is your shield things?"

Chakotay thumped the monitor, "damn it, every time!"

"Captain, the hole is several metres wide," Tuvok said.

"And we have another ship coming for us," Danny said.

"This seems familiar somehow," Chakotay muttered.

Kathryn raised her eyebrow, "it's Space Invaders Chakotay, of course it seems familiar."

"No, I mean what's happening now," Chakotay said.

"That little ships going for the hole in the shields. My quarters better not be there," Danny said.

"Or any coffee," Kathryn said. Everyone stared at her with the same annoyed expression. "Ok ok, all hands brace for impact. Wait, shouldn't I activate the commlink first to do that?"

The ship violently shook, consoles exploded as usual. When everything calmed down, Jessie fixed her hair and then glanced at Janeway. "Is this why so many unknowns die, you never warn them about the consoles?"

"Jessie, Jessie.. they stay near them anyway. They're like lemmings.. dumb," Danny replied.

All the unknown crewmembers ran into the turbolift crying their eyes out. "Ookay," Jessie muttered.

"Intruder alert, deck 6.. that's right, right?" Tuvok said. Everyone shrugged.

"Who cares, send a security team," Kathryn ordered.

Tuvok nodded, he went towards the turbolift as he tapped his commbadge. "Team Two meet me at Deck 6, Cargo Bay."

"Oh, so that's where one bay is," Danny said.

"Meh, don't get used to it. It'll probably move," Jessie said.

Sickbay:
"How many times do I have to tell you Samantha, you have to figure something's out yourself. What would happen if we weren't here?" the Doctor said angrily.

"But why is she crying!?" Samantha screamed.

"Probably because the ships getting attacked, or something," the Doctor replied.

"But.. but.." Samantha stuttered.

"Ensign, I have wounded to attend to. Please, get out of my office," the Doctor groaned.

Kes and Lee were meanwhile treating several unknown crewmembers. Both of them were so busy they didn't notice James' biobed making strange beeping noises.

The bridge:
"The Kazon have transported aboard the other ship," Chakotay said.

"Beam them back," Kathryn ordered.

"Can't, they took a transporter module with them," Chakotay said.

"And they're leaving," Danny said.

"Tractor beam," Kathryn commanded.

"Got them," Chakotay said.

"They're hailing," Harry said.

Kathryn stood up, she put her hands on her hips. "On screen."

A Kazon appeared on the viewscreen, he smirked in an evil fashion. "Captain, Maj Cullah of the Kazon Nistrim."

"I remember you Cullah," Kathryn said.

"I bloody don't," Jessie said. Danny nodded.

"Oh, this is the first time we've seen you in this series technically," Chakotay said.

"Forget that," Kathryn snapped. She stepped one step closer to the viewscreen. "That transporter module you've just stolen was specifically designed for this ship. You'll find it very difficult to attach it to your systems."

Danny giggled rudely. Jessie glanced in her direction, "oh you've got to be kidding me."

"I've had help updating our technology since we last met," Cullah said. He clicked his fingers. Seska, looking a bit Cardassian now, came onto the screen.

Everyone put on their dramatic pose, Chakotay stood up. "Seska?"

"No it's the Borg Queen, idiot," Jessie groaned.

"Give it a rest," Chakotay said. Jessie glared at him.

"Hello everyone," Seska said.

"I should of known you were involved," Chakotay muttered.

"Yes you should have. Just like I knew you'd try to stop us with a tractor beam. You've always been so predictable," Seska said.

"Captain, technobabble alert," Tuvok said.

"Crap, I hate it when that happens after a technobabble full episode," Kathryn muttered.

"Oh well, we'll be on our way. Oh by the way Chakotay, lovely to see you again," Seska said. She blew Chakotay a kiss before she and Cullah disappeared off the viewscreen.

"They've gone to warp.. and I'm sure that kiss hit me," Danny said while pulling a face.

Sickbay:
Everything had calmed down, Kes and the Doctor were now talking to each other in his office. Lee came into the main room through the main door, he glanced at the three biobeds and then finally the end one.

"Uhoh... DOC!" Lee yelled.

The Doctor and Kes ran into the room. "What.. what?" the Doctor panicked.

"I left the room for a minute or two, and well James is gone," Lee stuttered.

The Doctor pulled a puzzled face, "coma patients don't just get up and go for a walk right after waking up."

"Well James did wake up on the other Voyager, he got straight up then too," Kes said.

"Thanks for the warning," the Doctor muttered.

Meanwhile:
James was going down one of the corridors like he'd never been there before. He pushed passed several people accidentally, one was Randy. He stared icily at him, James stared back looking confused.

The bridge:
"Captain, there's two adrift objects out there," Harry said.

"What is it?" Kathryn asked.

"Not sure, putting it on screen," Harry replied.

The viewscreen changed to show two big dots floating around. "Computer widen the angle," Kathryn ordered. The two big dots turned into two Kazon men. Everyone stared blankly.

"Doesn't anybody know not to break windows on a spaceship?" Danny said jokingly.

"Danny.. just stop trying," Jessie muttered. Danny pulled a face at her.

Engineering:
B'Elanna and Chakotay were talking nearby one of the stations near the warp core. "How is it your fault?" B'Elanna asked.

"I should of known she was a spy, and well everything," Chakotay replied.

"It's just because she dated you, right?" B'Elanna said.

"Why do you think that?" Chakotay asked.

"Well I didn't know she was a Cardassian, so in a way you're blaming me too," B'Elanna replied.

"Well at least I know who my friends are," Chakotay said sarcastically.

B'Elanna shook her head, "that's not what I meant."

"Yeah I know. Can you keep me informed?" Chakotay said.

"Sure," B'Elanna said.

"Thanks," Chakotay muttered. He turned around and headed for the main door. When he stepped through the door he bumped into James. "What the.. are you sleep walking?"

James just stared blankly at him. "Oh god I forgot you were this stupid and annoying."

Chakotay groaned, he looked up at the ceiling. "It could of reformed him, but noooo."

"Ookay, I'll think I'll just leave you to it," James muttered.

"Does the doc know you're up?" Chakotay asked.

"You'd think so, since he did treat me. He must of walked off or something afterwards. Speaking of which, the Leda.. is it gone?" James said questioningly.

"Yes and it's been gone for, let me think, three months," Chakotay replied.

James stared blankly at him again, "what?"

"I hate to be the one to say it, but you've been in a coma. It's December now," Chakotay said.

"Son of a b**ch," James muttered.

Chakotay shrugged, "you think you've got it bad, I've got Seska to deal with."

"Seska? Great, what's happened now?" James asked.

Later, the Conference Room:
Kathryn sat down in her chair, she was just about to take a sip of her coffee when she spotted some empty chairs. "Wait, there's people missing. Where's Kes, and Chakotay?"

"Sickbay called earlier, James woke up and wandered out of the room without anyone noticing. She's looking for him," Tuvok replied.

Jessie and Danny both stared at Tuvok. "Thanks for telling us Dumbo," Danny grumbled.

"Well I guess that's good news. Where's Chakotay then?" Kathryn asked.

"I don't know, I last saw him in Engineering," B'Elanna replied.

Kathryn sighed, "computer locate Commander Chakotay."

"Commander Chakotay is not aboard the ship," the computer said.

Everyone glanced at the person next to them. Kes wandered into the room, she took her seat. "I can't find James anywhere. Soo, what's going on here, staring contest?"

"Computer, locate James Taylor," Kathryn said.

"James Taylor is not aboard the ship," the computer said.

"Well this is fun," Harry commented.

Meanwhile:
"I can't believe you dragged me with you on this mission," James was saying.

Chakotay groaned, "I didn't.. you dragged yourself here."

James glanced in his direction looking a bit too innocent for his own good, "oh yeah that's right."

Chakotay rolled his eyes. "Look if I stopped you coming with me you would of told somebody. I can't afford that to happen."

"What does money have to do with this, is this a bet?" James said.

"Oh great, I knew I should of took Tuvok. He doesn't even try to come up with dumb comments," Chakotay said.

"It would be a pretty dull trip if he was here," James commented.

"I'd rather have it dull," Chakotay muttered. He turned his chair around, "why are you here anyway?"

"I dunno, I still have a score to settle with her. Also after waking up from comas I always feel in a 'beat someone up' mood," James replied.

"You're going to beat up Seska," Chakotay muttered.

"No.. maybe some Kazon," James said.

"I don't see what kind of score you need to settle with her anyway. And by the way, how often do you get in comas?" Chakotay asked.

"That one was my third, and longest so far," James replied. Chakotay raised his eyebrow. "Seska.. well she was a b**ch to me."

"I wonder why," Chakotay said.

James folded his arms, "you know I'm sure I still need to get you back for punching me."

"Oh you are by being here," Chakotay said.

"You're suppose to be nice to coma patients, don't you know?" James said.

"Oh come on, you know I'm just being like this cos having you here really ruins parts of my plan," Chakotay said.

"How am I doing that?" James asked.

"You'll see when I tell you it. Just do as your told, if that function is in your brain somewhere," Chakotay replied.

"Can I beat something up?" James asked.

"Well I don't need you to, but that will help my part in the late part of the plan. Go on then," Chakotay replied.
