ATTENTION: This story has four of my own characters in it. The story of how they got to Voyager is being written, but the short of it is they're teenagers 1999. They're about 15, BTW. Here's the script code for you:HJ = Heather JeanPa = PaulineJa = Janalyn/Renae Me = MeredithJ = Janeway Ch = ChakotayTu = Tuvok P = Tom Paris7 = 7 of9/Annika B = B'Elanna TorresN = Neelix D = DoctorC = Computer JC = Joe CareyH = Harry Kim Everything else, you'll figure it outAnd, for all of you out there who don't understand Trek/Military time, it's translated for you. If you care, here's the explanation: if it's less than twelve, it's that time AM. If it's more than twelve, subtract twelve from it and it's that time PM. Simple, I hope. Please excuse any type-os or misspellings. The characters names are spelled right, though, so you CAN quote me on that. DISCLAMERS: Voyager and her characters are Paramount's which is Viacom's. Heather Jean and her friends, who may or may not be in the story, are mine. Or, ours, rather, since they're based on the Brat Pack. I am, of course Heather Jean, and refer to myself as such in my comments. The date: February 10th, 2359Setting: Voyager's mess hall (surprise, surprise)HJ: Neelix, there's an old Earth holiday coming up in four days. I want to have a party. Will you help me plan it?N: I'd be glad to. But, you might want to check with the captain. Get permission. HJ: All right. I'll be back in a few minutes. (She walks out) Heather Jean to Janeway. J: Janeway here. HJ: Are you busy, captain? I'd like to talk to you. J: Meet me in my ready room in five minutes. HJ: How about ten? I'm coming from the mess hall. J: Ten minutes it is. Janeway out. ?????Ten Minutes Later-Janeway's ready roomThe RR door chimes. J: Enter.HJ: (Enters , and gets right to the point.) Captain, do you know of an Earth holiday, St. Valentine's day?J: I know OF it, but the federation doesn't celebrate it officially. HJ: I think we should. It's been a while since the whole ship had a party. Granted, I had one three weeks ago, but it was for that Scottish poet Robert Burns. The whole ship needs to celebrate, and I think this is the PERFECT chance to have a party and be a little romantic. J: What did you have in mind?HJ: A party, hosted by me... with Neelix's help.J: Will he be cooking? HJ: Yes... But only what I tell him to. J: when will it be?HJ: (grins) February 14th, Holodeck one, 1700 hours to whenever it stops. J: Have Mr. Neelix announce it in his news broadcast tomorrow morning. HJ: THANK YOU!!!!! (hugs Janeway excitedly, and runs out.)J: (Shaking her head) You'd never know she was 15.?????6 minutes later...HJ: (runs into the mess hall, almost knocking over an ensign.) Sorry! NEELIX! Neelix!N: Yes? What's wrong?HJ: Nothing! everything is right with the world! She said we could! She said to have you announce it in your news broadcast tomorrow morning. Date, time, and place. N: That's wonderful! Now, let's plan! (they lean over a PADD together, planning the biggest Valentine's party in the history of the universe.)?????The next Morning-Neelix's announcementN: I've got a surprise for all of you this morning, that might make the next four days a little more bearable. As many of you know, there is an old Earth holiday coming up on the 14th of February. St. Valentine's day. One of our newest additions to the crew, Heather Jean Wilson, is hosting a party that night. With my help, of course. It will take place on Holodeck one, beginning at 1700 hours, and lasting until it's over. Her orders, as resident expert, are to bring a date if you can, and to dress in red, white, or pink. If you have any questions, contact her. And now, for the rest of the news.......?????Tom enters the mess hall, grabs some food, and sits across from B'Elanna. P: Did you hear about the party?B: Yup.P: How about I pick you up 15 minutes before-hand?B: You're assuming I don't already have a date.P: Well, it seemed only natural... Who is it? Joe?... You don't really, do you? B: Of course I do. A pretty girl like me gets lots of invitations. And no, it's not Joe. P: B'Elanna, I-B: (Starts laughing) How about 20 minutes?P: (sighs in relief, and looks at her lovingly.) Done deal. ?????Jeffries tube 47 AlphaH: Seven... (kisses her on the lips.)7: Harry... (kisses him on the neck.)H: Did you hear about the party?7: Pick me up 15 minutes before it starts. H: Ok. Now that we have that settled. (He unzips her outfit, and she does the same to him.)?????Janeway's ready roomJ: I presume you heard about the party?Ch: Yes. (He reaches over her desk, and takes her hand, knight-in-shining-armor style. He kisses h the back of it.) I was hoping you'd consider accompanying me. <"Someday lady you'll accompany me. It's written down somewhere it's got to be...." Oh, sorry.>J: We'll want to make an entrance, won't we. Ch: Only if you do, m' lady. J: Pick me up 15 minutes before-hand. Ch: Yes, m' lady. Now, I'm going to go get some sleep and visit my spirit guide. (He walks out.)?????February 14th, 1600 hours (4:00 pm). Torres quartersB: By Kahless, Why did I let myself get talked into this?! Red, pink or white. It's silly!!.... ARGH!! Torres to Janeway.J: Janeway here. B: Captain, I don't know what to wear!J: (sighs in relief.) I'm not alone! I'll be there in a moment. I don't know what to wear either. Janeway out. ?????7 minutes laterB'Elanna's door chimes.B: Come in. (Janeway enters)7: Seven to Janeway. J: (Smiles a little.) Janeway here. Yes, Seven?7: I... need help preparing. J: (looks at 'Lanna, who nods. ) Come to B'Elanna's quarters. 7: Aye, Captain. Seven out. ?????3 minutes laterHer door chimes again. B: Come in. (7 enters.)J: I think we need Heather Jean's advice on this. As Neelix said, she's the resident expert. (The other two nod.) Janeway to Heather Jean.HJ: Yes, Captain?J: We need your advice on clothes. HJ: On clothes? Me?! Um, sure where are you. J: B'Elanna's quarters. HJ: I'll be there, lickedy-split.J: Great. Janeway out. ?????3 more minutes laterAnd again, it chimes. B: Come! (HJ enters) What do you suggest we wear? HJ: Um... (Wallks over to the bed, where all the clothes are laying.) Well, B'Elanna, um, Tom's wearing... Nevermind. Wear this. (Hands her a bright red, skin tight, velvet, sleeveless, floor length, leg-slit dress.) We'll deal with hair in a minute. Captain... (Hands her a white, crushed velvet, spaghetti-strap, low-cut, mini-skirt dress.) And,... Um, ... Seven... (Looks through clothes pile.) I've got NO idea... Wait! (walks into the other room, and comes back a moment later with two pieces. one is a light pink, skin tight, tank-top belly-shirt, with hot pink hearts, and the other is a floor-length, hot pink, s kin tight, leg-slit skirt with light pink hearts. )7: Are you sure about this? I don't think-HJ: That's right. You don't. Just put it on, . (all three put on thier clothes.) You're all beautiful. Now for your hair. B'Elanna, how about... no, Kath, I'll do that to you. (She puts Janeway's hair into a French roll, like Seven's usually is, with curled tendrils framing her face.) Well? Scale of 1 to 10.B: 9. I never give a perfect score. 7: Same.J: 10!! I love it!!HJ: And so will Chakotay. Now, B'Elanna... Hmmm.... Captain, what do you think about (Whispers in the captain's ear.)J: I think Tom would approve. HJ: O-Kay. (Puts B'Elanna's hair into a French braid.) Leave that in all night, and take it out in the morning, and your hair will be SO pretty when you have breakfast with Tom tomorrow morning. Now, Seven, I'm just going to... (parts her hair just above her left temple, and straight back. She pins the big side with a pink heart hair-clip.) Beautiful. Um, did you two tell Harry and Chakotay to pick you up here? 7 + J: Oops.HJ: No biggie. I'll tell them. But, I have to go get ready now. If you'll excuse me... (walks out.)?????1645 hours (4:45 pm)No, B'Elanna's door doesn't shut up.B: Come in! (She crosses her fingers in the old Terran tradition of good luck and wishing, hoping it's Tom. Chakotay enters. He's wearing a completely white suit. He swallows at the sight of his beloved.)Ch: (smiles.) Are you ready, my dear?J: Of course! (She takes his offered arm, and they walk out.)?????1647 hours (4:47 pm)Yet again. B: Enter. (her fingers are crossed again. Harry enters, and does a double-take. He's wearing a light and hot pink tuxedo. H: Hi, um... Ready to go? (they're both blushing.) 7: Yes. (they walk out together.)B: Trust Tom to always be late!?????1705 hours (5:05 pm)For the last time in this fanfic, B'Elanna's door chimes. Late as usual, it's Tom. B: Come in, Tom. (He does. He's wearing a completely red tux, holding a red, heart-shaped box of chocolates, and a dozen red roses.) P: I brought you presents. B: Why? So I won't be mad at you for being 25 minutes late? P: That too. But I've been studying Valentine's day, and this is the traditional present.B: You couldn't come up with anything original? Nevermind. We have to go. ?????1710 hours (5:10 pm), Holodeck oneTom and B'Elanna enter the Holodeck, running a ballroom program, in awe of the decorations. The table-cloths, the walls, the carpet and some of the streamers are pink. The other streamers are red and white. The flowers on the tables, in red white and pink vases, are red white and pink carnations, one of each colour in each vase. The dance floor is redwood. EVERYONE is dressed in pink, excluding the J/C couple in white, and the P/T couple in red. There are tables ready to be set with food, made only for two people. Just as they enter, Heather Jean walks up to them. HJ: Oh, I'm so glad you made it! The snacks are over there. (points to a buffet table with lots of heart-shaped and pink refreshments.) Dinner will be served at 2000 hours, and until then it's dance 'til you drop!! Have fun!! (She bounces off, back to her escort. A cute, fresh-out-of-the-academy Ensign from Steller Cartography.) P: Well, you heard her. 'Dance 'til you drop.' Care to join me on the dance floor? B: I was afraid you wouldn't ask, Flyboy. He leads her dance floor to first notes of a slow song. ?????After listening to 3 solid hours of music, an old-fashioned Grandfather clock set to military time chimes 20. It's 2000 hours (8:00 pm.). Heather Jean steps up to the microphone. HJ: If you would all please take your seats, we can have dinner. By the way, Neelix cooked, (the room groans) but I told him what to do, and stood over him the entire time. It doesn't have leola root in it, I promise. (The room claps.) Glad you approve. Now, for grace. Silence, please. (The room shuts up, and everyone bows their heads. ) We would like to thank the powers that be for the food we are about to eat, for the music, enjoyment and dancing we have had and will have at this party tonight, and for the love this day represents. We thank them for the relationships we celebrate today, past present and future. For the ones we've had that we may still be true to, for the ones we have and enjoy on this day and time, (Tom and B'Elanna smile, and squeeze hands.) and for the ones that will blossom in the coming year. And we ask them to keep those relationships strong, unyielding, and everlasting. And with that, Amen.(The room echoes with Amens.) Let's eat! (The room starts to buzz with conversations.) P: Heather Jean! (she looks at him. He waves at her to come over, and she does.) HJ: Yes? P: (pulls a box out from under his seat. A heart-shaped box.) Happy Valentine's Day. And thanks for the advice. (winks at her, and she smiles.) HJ: (opens the box) OO! Chocolate!! Thank you!! (Kisses Tom on the cheek.) B: Hey! (Playfully.)HJ: Don't worry, B'Elanna. I'm not going to steal him. He's too much of a big brother to me... And too old for me too!!B: Good. Now go find Jason. He'll be waiting for you. (HJ runs off) those two make the cutest couple. P: Don't they? (He glances over to the table containing Janeway and Chakotay, smiles and points.) So do they. (just as he says that, Janeway opens a box, smiles, leans over, and kisses Chakotay on the lips. ) Oh! I've got another present for you.B: (cautiously) What is it?P: (puls a small, red velvet box out of his jacket pocket.) This. (she opens it. It's a bracelet.) The gold is for the color of your skin; the pearls are so it matches your pearl necklace; the diamonds are for the sparkling of your eyes, and the garnet is for two things. your birthstone, and for the aching you cause in my heart every time I look at you. B: Oh, really. Maybe a heart massage would help. (She rests her hand over his heart. He groans a little, like he's restraining himself a little.)P: Ohhh, don't. (he reaches into the box, and clasps the bracelet onto her wrist. She pulls her hand of his chest, but he grabs it and holds it. They eat the dinner in front of them, talking quietly.)?????Janeway and Chakotay- right after graceCh: Look at that. Tom got Heather Jean chocolate. J: That's sweet... No pun intended. Ch: I got you something, too. J: Really? You know you didn't have to!Ch: I know. But Kathryn, you are the reason I wake up every morning , and pull myself to duty on that bridge. Because I know I'll see your smiling, loving, determined face, and that give me energy. So, I got you something. (He pulls a similar velvet box out of his jacket. She opens it. It's a necklace.)J: It's beautiful. (kisses him on the lips.) Tell me what it means. Ch: The fire in the middle is for the fire inside of you that flames the fire in me. The fire that I see in your eyes whenever our crew is threatened. The wolf is for your spirit guide , and the deer for the soft side of you that you don't let show often enough. The red-orange beads represent the beauty of your hair, the gray-blue ones are for your eyes, the green ones for your love of nature , and the red ones for your command. J: (Puts the necklace on.) I'll never take it off. Ch: Well, I wouldn't go that far. ?????Heather Jean and Jason Hanson HJ: Hi! (walking up to the table.)JH: Hi. What's that? HJ: Chocolate, from Tom. JH: Oh, I see. (she sets the box on the table, and kisses him gently before sitting down.) What was that for?HJ: Happy Valentine's Day. JH: I got you a present. (pulls out a red velvet box.)HJ: This is odd. Harry, Tom and Chakotay gave their dates necklaces in red velvet boxes. I talked to them earlier. Did the four of you plan that? JH: Yes. HJ: I see. Well, then, I guess I should open it. JH: It would be nice.HJ: (opens the box. It's not a necklace, remarkably enough. It's a necklace AND a ring.) WOW! They're beautiful! What are they, though?JH: Well, the charm on the necklace is garnet surrounded by emeralds, and the ring is a garnet with emeralds on either side. HJ: They're beautiful! Oh, thank you. Now, let's eat. ?????2130 hours (9:30 pm)HJ: Well, dinner's over. I'd better go start the music. (walks up to the microphone) Attention! It's time to dance, dance, dance! So, lets par-tay! (the music starts, and Jason spins Heather Jean to the dance floor. No one else gets up, they just watch the two dance for a couple songs.)P: I think it's our turn. Agreed?B: Agreed. (they walk out, Heather Jean and Jason walk off, and those two are the star couple for a few dances. It goes this way for every couple until the wee hours of the morning.)?????February 15th, 300 hours (3:00 am)B: I'm exhausted. I'd better go. P: I'll escort you to your quarters, madam. (They walk out, holding hands, leaning on each other. Somehow, they make it to her quarters.)B: Come in with me. P: B'Elanna, I had fun, but I need some rest. B: Please? P: Gladly. B: (They walk into her quarters, and she, being the aggressive one, starts to pull off her dress. He promptly pulls off his jacket and shirt, and she runs her fingers through his chest hair as he kisses her forehead gently.) I've been waiting for you to kiss me like this all night. P: I know. But I really have to go. Unless...B: My couch is halfway comfortable. I don't think you'd make it back there if you're as exhausted as I am. P: I agree. ?????Janeway and Chakotay-300 hoursJ: Everyone's leaving. I'd better go. I'll see you in the morning, on the bridge. Ch: Than I guess I have a reason to sleep tonight. So I can get up tomorrow morning. But, on one condition. J: What? Ch: (Leads her out to the emptying dance floor, and sits her on his knee. Another red velvet box appears from his jacket pocket.) Kathryn will you marry me? (the room goes silent, staring at them.)J: I... Um... Yes. Yes, I will. (they share a long, lingering kiss, and the room claps. )????????????????????????????????????????????????Thank you for letting me air my romantic side.
