Christmas Drabbles 2007

Christmas Babe

Who are these people?

We broke through the debris to give you freedom from the cave and meet them.

"Captain, B'Elanna," Tom greeted, "This is Mya and..."

He looked at Mya.

"His name is Yason," she replied.

I scanned the babe wrapped in Chakotay's jacket, "He's exceptionally healthy and handsome. His father will be proud."

"He has no father," she informed us.

"I'm sorry," B'Elanna and I chimed assuming he had died.

"Don't be," she beamed distantly, "He's the anointed, a child of the divine."

"What?" We all asked as we stared at the mother.

"His name means 'the saviour'."

Mistletoe Scheme

"Tom," B'Elanna began, "What are you doing?"

"Well, I figure if there's mistletoe everywhere the captain and commander will have to kiss."

"You're devious! You can't force them together."

"Not forcing," Tom insisted as he climbs down off the ladder. "It's just a plan to see them kiss."

"So, this is your Christmas scheme this year?"

"Not scheming; planning."

"You're scheming, Tom."

He moved the ladder to another strategic place in the mess hall and climbed it. "You'll thank me at the dance tonight."

When he came down B'Elanna cornered him, "I will?"

Then she kissed him under the mistletoe.

Christmas Dance

In the mess hall everyone was dancing.

"Tom, so when will your scheme take affect?"

"I don't know, B'E."

"Well, it's not working."

"Chakotay, do you think there’s enough mistletoe?" Kathryn asked.

"Mm... you think they're up to something?"

They bumped into Neelix as he was delivering refreshments.

"Sorry," they chorused.

"The mistletoe... not my idea, but it looks good!" Neelix stated continuing on his way.

Kathryn and Chakotay gazed into each other's eyes.

"I do believe we're under the mistletoe," Kathryn stated.

"We certainly are."

"Then kiss me, Chakotay."

"Aye, aye, Captain!" They kissed.

Everyone stopped dancing and clapped.
