Tom and B'Elanna's Quarters

Yup. It's their quarters. Nuff said. Deck 4. Yup.

B'Elanna: I walked in. "Tom, are you still awake?" I asked.

Tom: I turned and looked at her, "Yes. I wanted to find out what Chakotay wanted."

B'Elanna: "Oh. He just wanted to talk.... about something that happened earlier," I shrugged and walked over to sit down.

Tom: "Something having to do with the Kazon, I'm assuming."

B'Elanna: I thought quickly. "Yes. I... lost my temper and hit him."

Tom: I laughed, "You...hit Chakotay?"

B'Elanna: I nodded, and sighed. "Yeah,"

Tom: "He must have deserved it."

B'Elanna: "He was irritating me. I was stressed out. I'm sleep deprived...." I shrugged. "Nothing new,"

Tom: "You should get some sleep...." I said.

B'Elanna: "Maybe I should," I agreed, knowing full well I wouldn't be able to sleep.

Tom: "We'll talk more in the morning," I looked at her, "That is when your next shift is, isn't it?"

B'Elanna: "Captain Janeway said I have a couple days off, but Doc wants me to come in at 0900,"

Tom: I nodded, "I'll set my alarm for 0800."

B'Elanna: I smiled. "Thanks," I told him, before standing up and walking to the bathroom to change, then over to bed after that. I stared at the ceiling, wondering how Chakotay would convince the others.

Tom: I quickly fell asleep.

Tom: I woke up and saw that B'Elanna was already awake, "Bad night?" I asked.

B'Elanna: I looked over. "Mmm. You could say that,"

Tom: "I'm sorry. Hopefully you can get more sleep."

B'Elanna: "I'll sleep later. It's 0800, isn't it?"

Tom: "Yes, it is. Why?"

B'Elanna: "Just making sure," I shook my head. "Do you have a shift today? In either Sick Bay or the Bridge?"

Tom: "I have a short shift on the Bridge, why?"

B'Elanna: "Just asking," I shook my head. "I'm going to get ready." I said, standing up.
