Fic: Captainella - Trek - Janeway/Chakotay - PG
Title: Captainella
Author: elfflame and foodie
Pairing: Janeway/Chakotay
Rating: PG
Summary: The crew of the Voyager holds a series of balls.
Disclaimer: Voyager and all its inhabitants are owned by Paramount. Despite the fact that they seemed to allow certain storylines to go unwritten. Therefore, we decided to write something to set our favorite couple on the right path.
A/N: The story is set shortly after the destruction of the Kazon and Seska in season three. Yes, it is vaguely based on Cinderella (like you couldn’t tell). This was our first attempt at fan fiction, and is a bit crackish, I’m afraid.
Once upon a time, there was a lonely captain named Kathryn Janeway. She and her crew were far from home. Since they had recently retaken their ship from the Kazon, Neelix decided that the crew deserved to have a celebration. The Captain agreed that it would cheer up the crew to have a series of dress-up masquerades.
And so, the first ball was announced. Neelix decided that the theme for the first ball would be a Chinese masque. The crew was excited. All free time was spent planning for the ball, and thinking of costumes to wear.
Kathryn, however, decided that she was simply too busy to go. She had reports to read, and evaluations to write. She told everyone that she would take the final bridge shift for each of the parties so that everyone else could attend for at least part of the time.
Neelix tried to convince her to come. “You would have a really good time, Captain.”
“Thank you, Neelix, but I’m just too busy.”
Kim tried to convince her to come. “It wouldn’t be the same without you.”
“I appreciate the sentiment, but I’m sure that everyone will have a wonderful time whether or not I’m there.”
Paris tried to convince her. “Captain, everyone is coming. You should at least come for a few minutes.”
“I do not think it is that important, Mr. Paris”
Kes tried to convince her. “The doctor thinks that the ball would do you some good, Captain.”
“Unless he makes that an order, I’m afraid I have other things to do that night.”
B’Elanna tried another tact. “If you don’t have to go, I don’t have to go either, right, Captain?”
It didn’t work. “Don’t make me make it an order, B’Elanna.”
Tuvok did not try to convince her. He assumed that she had already thought things through, and had her reasons for not going.
Kathryn appreciated his restraint.
Chakotay tried to convince her to come. “Perhaps we could go together. After all, we are the ship’s commanding officers, so we should make at least an appearance.”
“Commander, I have already made my position clear. I will not be going to the masquerade.”
And so, everyone went on with their plans without her.
