Disclaimer
This is obviously the FV version of Q and the Grey. I'll try my best to make it as different as possible but just in case here's a warning; one or two scenes will probably be the same or similar to the original (unlike previous episode Yesteryear).

Please Note
The confusion begins. From here on out we're leaving Before Fifth Voyager and going into During Fifth Voyager's First Episode, aka During Aggressions territory.  Confused? Well the whole series started with the episode Aggressions, which showed pieces of original Season 3 episodes such as this one, Coda, Unity and Scorpion. The rest of this series happens in between scenes in the first episode. Don't worry, if you have already checked out Season One you'll know when B4FV3 goes passed a part of Aggressions, it'll be put into the recap of the episode (for example the first few scenes in Aggressions will appear in the next episode's recap along with the important ones from this one). If you are reading the prequel seasons before the first season all I can suggest is read the recaps (only if there's a "please note" telling/suggesting you to) and once you get to Season One skim through the first episode's first part and only read part two. After that you're clear.

Episode Synopsis

The Ready Room:
Kathryn sat down behind her desk, "we'll be the third Starfleet ship to see one."

Chakotay smiled as he sat down opposite her. "So where will you be?"

"The bridge, I hear the Mess Hall is going to be packed," Kathryn replied. The door chimed. "Come in."

Tuvok walked through the main door, then over to the desk. "Captain, a crewmember is neglecting the replicator ration system."

Kathryn frowned, "what? How, who?"

"Whoever it is has covered his or her tracks," Tuvok replied as he handed a PADD to her. "They've somehow managed to replicate something that costs months worth of replicator rations."

"Well he or she isn't much of a thief, they've programmed it to start payment at the beginning of August," Kathryn said.

"That isn't the point Captain, that object would of took a lot of power to replicate," Chakotay said.

"That is not all. Another unknown crewmember has been replicating a lot, but paying for it straight away," Tuvok said.

"That scoundrel," Chakotay said with a smirk.

Tuvok raised an eyebrow, "all of which cost a lot, not as much as the other item however but all together it's close."

"Which crewmember would have enough to do that?" Chakotay asked.

Kathryn's face turned a shade paler, "it's all right Tuvok, I'll handle it."

"Yes Captain," Tuvok said with a nod, he stepped back out.

"What is it?" Chakotay asked.

Kathryn sighed, "there is only a few crewmembers who could of been saving rations. But out of all of those people, only one could of hacked into the system."

"We don't know that this is the same person," Chakotay said.

"Oh it is the same person," Kathryn sighed. "Think about it, what on earth would a common crewmember replicate that would cost months of rations?"

"Jewelry?" Chakotay meekly replied with a shrug.

Kathryn turned another shade paler, "what? No no, don't give me that idea."

Chakotay looked confused, "ok then what?"

"The culprit would have to be good at hacking, either been saving rations or was too busy being in a coma to use up two months of rations," Kathryn muttered.

"Oh right, James," Chakotay said. He pulled a face, "what does he want jewelry for?" Kathryn started glaring at him. "Oh I see, baby coming etc, good time for a proposal."

"Don't ever say that!" Kathryn snapped.

"Ok, if that's not what you were thinking then what?" Chakotay questioned. He frowned, "how come we were still paying him while he was in a coma?" Kathryn just sighed.

James/Jessie's Quarters:
The door chimed. "Come in," James said as he entered the living room.

Kathryn stepped inside, "you didn't report to duty today."

"Uh, yes I did. I work here, you didn't know that?" James said.

Kathryn raised an eyebrow, then she looked around the room. "You don't look sick or anything."

"That's cos I'm not," James said.

Kathryn folded her arms, "what are you doing?"

"I'm uh.. just," James said. He glanced at the pile of bags in the corner of the room, next to the door he stepped out of. "Sorting stuff out."

"Oh, I take it Jessie's moving back in," Kathryn said.

"Yeah, she and Danny had a fight supposably," James said. He turned back towards the room he came out of, "I'll be right back."

Kathryn frowned, "fine." She walked over to the bags. She tried to pick one up but it was too heavy, instead she dragged it across to the other side of the room. The doors to the other room opened. Her eyes widened as she looked inside, "oh my.."

"What are you doing?" James asked. He rushed towards her.

Kathryn turned around, he took a hold of her arm and pulled her out of the doorway. "That doesn't look like Jessie's room or yours."

"Look it's just, I'm moving things around, I'm experimenting.." James said, moving his hand away.

"It looks to me like a baby's room," Kathryn said.

"Yeah well, we'll need one eventually," James muttered.

"So where's Jessie staying then?" Kathryn asked, putting one hand on her hip.

James smiled nervously, "she's um, we're.."

"Oh I see, you two moved in together right?" Kathryn uncomfortably said.

"Yeah she's still moving in, I asked her, it made sense," James said.

"I suppose it does," Kathryn sighed as she turned away from him. "You're in love with her, there's a baby coming, you do already live together," she muttered to herself. She turned back to face him with a weak smile on her face, "congratulations then."

"Thanks," James said. He picked the bag she was holding like it was nothing. "I'm just moving my things, or getting rid of them to make room for her stuff. You can see that it's a lot."

Kathryn's smile turned into a smirk, "yes, what is in those bags?"

"Beats me. It could be shoes, clothes, make up," James replied.

"Isn't that a bit annoying, all this. Sometimes some people.." Kathryn said.

"No," James said with a shrug. "Actually I like that about her, it's.." He frowned, "wait, why did you ask that?"

"Well sometimes moving in together properly isn't a good idea if there's something about her you can't stand or.." Kathryn said.

"I don't believe this," James muttered. "For the first time in my life I'm actually happy, and after the incident I figured I never would be again."

"I'm sorry, I'm just worried. You should be careful, I know you love her but you don't know how she feels," Kathryn said.

"So what? I know she doesn't," James muttered.

"A baby is not a good enough reason to move in with someone like this. If she doesn't feel the same way it's going to be rougher for her. Maybe finding out before going any further would be the best idea, the best way to do that is to tell her," Kathryn said.

"I can't, that'll scare her off," James said, shaking his head. "Jess and I we're good together, no not good, great. I didn't ask her to live with me properly just because of the baby."

"No I know that. If you tell her maybe then she'll tell you where she's at," Kathryn said.

"Maybe, but I don't want to hear it," James said.

"You can't be expecting her to say she doesn't like you or something. Even I don't think she's that bad. The way she talks about you, acts around you, how protective she can be, the fact that she forgave you and wanted you back so quickly after what happened. There's definitely something there," Kathryn said.

"Ok you're the last one I thought I'd get relationship advice from. It's not like I'm going to ask her to marry me, or raise five kids in a semi with two dogs. We don't need to both be in love do we? I'm lucky to have what I have already, and that she likes me at all," James muttered.

Kathryn frowned, "ok ok, I'm sorry. I just thought, you've been replicating a lot of expensive stuff so I figured.."

"That I was going to propose or something?" James questioned with a smirk on his face. "No, there's no point is there? And I have paid for everything normally so you can't get on my back for that. I just got a crib, and other stuff for the baby. There's nothing wrong with that right?"

"No, somebody hacked in and got something for free, but it looks like they'll pay for it at a later time," Kathryn replied.

"Oh, a hacking incident and I'm the first suspect. I didn't do that, I had plenty of rations anyway," James said.

"Right well, I'm sorry about.." Kathryn sighed.

"No it's nothing, I understand why you thought that's what I was up to," James said. "She doesn't have to really, I don't need to.. it's fine," he muttered. "Ok I'd better finish off here before she comes back."

Kathryn smiled, "it's going to be ok you know."

"I know, I told you I'm happy.. everything's good," James said, he smiled.

"Trust me, it's better than you think," Kathryn said as she headed for the door.

Meanwhile, the Mess Hall:
"You're seriously telling me that you're not mad at him," Ian said.

Jessie rolled her eyes, "yep."

"And you want to live with him properly, as in sleeping with him every night, literally?" Ian said.

"Yep," Jessie groaned.

"And Danny's upset because?" Ian questioned.

"Cos she's a meddler, a b**ch and she's just as anti-James as you," Jessie replied.

"There's a good reason for that, besides she's been more supportive than I expected," Ian said.

"Right supportive," Jessie laughed. "You guys used to be his friends, and now after a drunken mistake you ditch him. Remind me to hate you next time you call me baby and nearly slap my a** while drunk."

"Jess, you're just forgiving because of this baby and you've always been a little too obsessed with him," Ian said.

"Obsessed, wow you really don't get it," Jessie muttered. "Tell you what, you can continue judging me and annoying me with stupid similar questions when you feel about a girl, the same way I do about him."

"Do you love him?" Ian asked uncomfortably.

"As a friend I do, probably," Jessie replied. "Oh you know how I stand with that stuff, I've no idea what it's like to love someone, or be loved by someone so I don't know. People say that if you don't know then you mustn't, but for me it's unsure."

"Jess it's simple," Ian said.

"For you maybe," Jessie muttered.

Meanwhile on a table on the other side of the room, Tom and Harry were having a coffee break. Tom just tapped his commbadge, "we're on our way now."

Harry's eyes lit up, "I've wanted to see a supernova since I was little."

"Well it'll be interesting to see but it's not something I've wanted to see for years," Tom said.

"Yeah yeah," Harry smiled.

Tom shook his head as he climbed out of his chair. "It's not, I wanted to do more interesting things since I was a kid."

"Oh come on, it's once every century," Harry said as he got up. He followed Tom towards the door just as a lot of crewmembers starting coming in through both doors. "See, look how many people are coming to see this." He stopped next to Jessie and Ian's table. "Are you guys going to watch here or the bridge?"

Ian looked around the room, "it shouldn't be as packed on the bridge, right?"

"Senior officers only," Harry replied. He and Tom left the room.

"I'm there," Ian said as he got up, so did Jessie. "You coming?"

"Hmm, getting to see something explode.. I think I'll give it a miss this time," Jessie replied.

"Yeah but a supernova isn't something you see every day," Ian said.

"No thanks, I do have a life you know," Jessie muttered as she walked out of the room.

Ian pouted, "oh great, she's in the insulting mood again." He slowly did the same.

The Bridge:
Kathryn handed a small cardboard bucket to Chakotay, "popcorn?"

"It's coffee flavoured isn't it?" he questioned.

"Of course not!" Kathryn snapped. "I'm not that obsessed you know."

"All right, I apologise," Chakotay said.

"Thank you," Kathryn said.

Tom and Harry stepped out of the turbolift, followed by the Doctor, Neelix and Kes. Chakotay stood up, "you're just in time. Harry, quickly put it on screen."

Harry smiled, "yes sir." He rushed over to his station and started working at it. The viewscreen changed to show a close up of a star. "Ten seconds."

Kathryn stood up, she held out a roll of mints to Chakotay. "Mint?"

"It isn't coffee is it?" Chakotay asked carefully. The glare on her face answered his question. "No thanks."

"Guys," Tom said, pointing at the viewscreen. Everyone glanced at it just in time to see the supernova, the entire bridge burst into applause.

"Wow!" Neelix exclaimed. "That was, wow.." He turned to Tuvok, "wow, what did you think Mr Vulcan?"

Tuvok raised an eyebrow, "your inarticulate expressions of awe are notwithstanding.." Everyone groaned. "It was a fascinating spectacle."

Kathryn turned around, "congratulations everyone, only two crews in the history of Starfleet have witnessed a supernova explosion."

"And none any closer than we were," Harry grinned. "We've just got a new record."

"Wow, how were we closer than the Enterprise D?" Tom asked. Harry shrugged.

"Thanks for allowing us to watch the nova here Captain, the Mess Hall still stinks of that liver and vegetable soup," Kes said.

Neelix pouted, "well Jessie liked it."

Kes sighed, "hmm, wonder why."

"Remember Kes, anyone can stargaze on the bridge, even a hologram with a portable emitter. But the real action will always be in Sickbay," the Doctor said with a smile. He headed back to the turbolift ignoring the clueless look on most of the bridge's faces.

"You know that is twenty ninth century technology, we can take it off him," Tom commented.

Kathryn smiled, "no that's not necessary." She glanced towards the Engineering station, where B'Elanna had sat herself. "Well?"

"I've said it once and I'll say it again, Harry's the Science guy," B'Elanna muttered, shaking her head.

Chakotay frowned, "what is it?"

"Oh, just something I'm working on," Kathryn replied while rubbing her shoulders. "Harry, can you help B'Elanna with it?"

"Yes Captain," Harry replied.

"Captain you haven't slept in days, maybe you should get some rest. Harry and B'Elanna will handle that thing you're working on. The rest of us will keep the bridge in check," Chakotay said.

Kathryn smiled as she shook her head. "Fine, you win. I'll see you at 0800." She headed for the turbolift.

Meanwhile
James/Jessie's Quarters:
Jessie walked into the living room, she sighed as she dumped her jacket on the chair. She made her way over to where the bags once were, but not there now. "Um.. James? Where's my.."

James stepped out of the door nearby, "Jess, you're back."

"Yep, where's my bags?" Jessie asked.

"Oh right, don't be mad at me," James said, he took a hold of her arm. "Can I show you something first." He led her to the door.

"I'm kinda worried now at the 'mad at me' part, you didn't set fire to them did you?" Jessie questioned.

"No nothing like that," James replied. They stepped into the room, Jessie's eyes lit up as she looked around.

"My god, you cleaned the floor," she said.

"Yeah," James said as he walked to the cupboard. Jessie followed him while looking around. He beckoned his head towards the cupboard. "Go on."

"Ok, is my bags in there or did you.." Jessie said as she opened it. "Oh.."

"I know you have a lot of clothes and you like to organise them, and I didn't know how much space you'd need," James said.

"So where is all your stuff?" Jessie questioned, she looked over towards the bed. All her bags were standing beside them. "Where did all your stuff go?"

"I didn't have much in the first place, and I got rid of some stuff. It's your room now so I had to sort it out for you," James muttered. "I was going to put away everything but you'd of killed me for sure."

Jessie smiled as she placed a hand on his arm, "what are you like, you didn't have to." She knelt down next to the bags and started to open one. "Did you watch the supernova?"

"What supernova?" James questioned.

Jessie dragged one of the bags onto the bed. "You didn't know about it? I thought everybody did."

"Well somehow I'll find the will to live on," James said, heading back towards the door. "Before you start there, there's something else I want to show you." He stepped out. Jessie frowned and followed him.

Janeway's Quarters:
Kathryn stepped into her quarters, her eyes widened as she stared in front of her. Her sofa had been replaced with a big bed, covered in red satin sheets. The lights were dimmed, candles standing next to the bed just managed to light the room.

She tapped her commbadge as she slowly walked in further, "Janeway to Security, intruder alert."

Q stepped into sight from the door of the bedroom. "There's no need to call room service Kathy, I already ordered."

Kathryn groaned into her hand, "oh god. Janeway to Security, intruder alert!"

Q strolled over to the bed, he picked up a glass of wine that was standing next to the bed. "Don't bother, I've taken the proverbial phone off the hook. After all.. we don't want any interruptions."

"What are you doing here?" Kathryn asked.

Q raised the glass, "to us."

"Us, when has there ever been an 'us'?" Kathryn grumbled.

"The night is young, and the sheets are satin," Q said as he rested a hand on the bed.

"I want you out, but first get rid of all this," Kathryn said.

"I have no intention of getting between those Starfleet-issue sheets. They give me a terrible rash," Q muttered with a pout.

"Since you won't be getting in the bed, I wouldn't worry about it," Kathryn said as she turned and walked away.

"Oh, Kathy, don't be such a prude," Q purred as he made his way over. She turned around just in time to get his arm around her waist. "Admit it, it has been a while."

"And it'll probably be a while longer, now get out," Kathryn snapped. She tried to pull herself away but Q pulled her right back.

"So tense. Why don't you slip into something more comfortable," Q said, loosening his grip on her.

Kathryn's uniform disappeared and she was now in a pink satin night gown. She looked down at herself and sighed. "If you think that this puerile attempt at seduction is going to work, you're even more self-deluded than I thought," she snarled. She turned away from him. He grabbed her arm, he pulled her around so she was hovering over the bed and he may as well have been lying over her.

"Oh, I see, you think interested in some tawdry one-night stand. That's because I haven't told you why I'm here yet," Q said. "Of all the females of all the species in all the galaxies.. I have chosen you to be the mother of my child."

Kathryn's mouth dropped in shock.

James/Jessie's Quarters:
James and Jessie were now inside Jessie's old bedroom. Now it had a crib nearby the window, which was half filled with cuddly toys and there was a row of two shelves, which also had toys sitting on them.

"Well? It's not finished but what do you think?" James asked, looking really nervous.

Jessie went over to the crib, she leaned over to pick up one of the bears. "It's great, but.."

"I know, there was nowhere to put your old bed. I didn't even know what you wanted doing with it," James said.

"I'll transport it to the cargo bay replicator, I might get lots of rations for it," Jessie said. She turned to him, "that's not what I meant though. You managed to replicate a lot of cuddly toys."

"Um it's not like I can't touch them or anything Jess," James said.

Jessie smiled cheekily, "I know you can."

James shook his head and raised an eyebrow, "all right, I gotta go. Tuvok wants me to work night shift as I skived today."

"You skive most of the time anyway," Jessie said.

"I know, but I shouldn't try telling him," James said. He turned to leave the room.

Jessie turned back to the crib, she put down the bear and picked up a different toy.

James walked straight into the other bedroom. He stopped in front of the cabinet next to the bed, after a quick glance behind him he opened one of the drawers and took something out of it.

Janeway's Quarters:
Kathryn was now lying on the bed, with Q over her. She pushed him away enough to climb away from him, and off the bed. She rushed over towards her bedroom. Q sighed and sat down on the bed instead.

"I know that you're probably asking yourself, 'Why would a brilliant, handsome, dashingly omnipotent being like Q want to mate with a scrawny little bipedal specimen like me?"

"Let me guess, no-one else in the universe will have you!" Janeway called from her room.

Q made his way over to the bedroom doorway. "Nonsense. I could have chosen a Klingon Targ, a Romulan empress, a Cyrillian microbe."

Kathryn appeared at the doorway, "really? I beat out a single-celled organism? How flattering." She tried to re-enter the living room, but Q blocked her by putting his hand on the other side of the doorway.

"It's an overwhelming honour isn't it?" he said. "I can't get you out of my mind. You're confident, passionate, beautiful.."

"Really disgusted and totally uninterested," Kathryn said. She ducked so she could go under his arm and get away. He quickly followed her. She stood behind her desk, he sat down on it.

"Kathy, you can't leave. My cosmic clock is ticking. Besides you have no idea what you're missing. Foreplay with a Q can last for decades," he said.

"Sorry, but I'm busy for the next sixty or seventy years," Kathryn said as she sat down.

"Oh, I see, this is one of those silly human rituals. You're playing hard to get," Q said.

"As far as you're concerned, Q, I'm impossible to get," Kathryn said.

Q's face lit up, "goody, a challenge. This is going to be fun." He clicked his fingers and disappeared in the usual flash of light. The room turned back to normal.

Kathryn worked at her computer, "Janeway to the bridge."

In: "Chakotay here."

"I've just had a visit from Q," Kathryn said.

In: "Q? What did he want?"

"Lets just say he had a personal request," Kathryn replied.

In: "Captain?"

"I have a feeling he'll be back, alert me if he does. Janeway out," Kathryn said. She buried her face in her hands.

Later that night
James/Jessie's Quarters:
Jessie turned over in the bed, she opened her eyes and sat up slightly. She pulled herself out of the bed and made her way over to the door, it opened. Her eyes widened as she looked around the room. The entire living room was lit up by a few hundred candles standing everywhere. She made her way to the centre of the room.

"What the.." Jessie muttered. "Computer, is there anyone else in my quarters?"

"Negative," the computer responded.

"Um check again," Jessie said.

Somebody walked up behind her. "Hey," a familiar voice said.

Jessie groaned, "no no." She turned around to come face to face with a familiar Q.

"Oh wow, I've forgotten how beautiful you are," he said.

"What are you doing here?" Jessie asked. "And what's with the candles?"

"Don't you think it's romantic?" Nutty Q asked. He tried to slip an arm around her, she slapped it away.

"No, what do you, I mean why did you.." Jessie stuttered in a high pitched voice.

"Shush my beloved," Nutty Q whispered as he stepped closer. "There's something I have to tell you."

"Ok," Jessie said, looking uncomfortable.

Q took a hold of her hand with both of his. "I can't stop thinking about you. You are funny, sweet, strong and how could I forget your beauty."

"You said you did," Jessie said.

"No I meant you're more beautiful than I remember," Nutty Q said.

"Um whatever," Jessie muttered, she pulled herself away and eyed some of the candles. "Can you please stop, fire hazard."

"Fine," Nutty Q sighed. With a quick wave of a hand the candles disappeared, and a bunch of roses appeared in his other hand. "Here, these are for you."

Jessie took them off him looking disgusted, "flowers? I'm not a flower person." She tossed them over her shoulder.

"Aaaw, I missed you," Nutty Q said with a grin. He quickly lunged forward and hugged her tightly.

"The feeling's not mutual," Jessie grumbled as she tried to get away.

"Your hair smells nice," Nutty Q sighed.

Jessie pulled a face. Nutty Q pulled a different kind of face and loosened his grip, Jessie quickly rushed away from him.

"And you still kick as hard as you used to," he said in a squeakier voice.

"I've been practising," Jessie muttered. "Now can you go?"

"No, I still haven't told you what I want to tell you," Nutty Q replied.

"Well unless it's about you leaving me alone forever or you dying, I don't wanna hear it," Jessie said.

"Oh you're so funny," Nutty Q laughed. He walked closer to her and took a hold of her hand again. "I just want you to know that I've fallen in love with you."

Jessie glanced around looking uncomfortable. "As a friend?"

"No my sweet, and that's not all," Nutty Q said. "You are the most beautiful creature that has ever existed, I'm an omnipotent Q. It would be a waste not to."

"I'm sorry, omnipotent or impotent?" Jessie muttered with a worried expression on her face. "Wait waste not to, what?"

"Our DNA together would create a creature that every being will be jealous of," Nutty Q said.

Jessie's eyes widened, "oh no, no DNA mixing."

"Why not?" Nutty Q asked.

"Because you're creeping me out, and I don't like you. I thought I've made that clear," Jessie replied.

Nutty Q started pouting, "how am I creeping you out? Surely a girl like you has many men queuing up."

"Huh, no and I.." Jessie stuttered.

"A girl like you deserves to be paired with the best, it's called natural selection," Nutty Q said.

Jessie backed off a metre or two, "no it's not. Q's are immortal, they don't need to uh, breed. And don't you have less powers than other Q's?"

"Oh, I'm hurt," Nutty Q muttered.

"Uh huh, does that mean you're going now?" Jessie asked.

"Ohno, you don't just split up because of a fight. I'll be right back sweetheart," Nutty Q replied. He disappeared with a wave of a hand.

Jessie sighed in relief, "finally." She turned to go back to the bedroom.

Meanwhile, the FVDA's quarters:
Damien marched into the room muttering to himself. He dumped a PADD onto the table. "Fools, don't they know anything?"

In the bathroom the oldest member of the FVA, Tim was busy opening the 'miracle hide your wrinkles' cream. He looked a lot worse than he usually did until he started putting it on. It made him look twenty years younger, but he now looked the way he usually looks.

"Ah, I remember in my day they didn't have miracle cream," he said, looking in awe at the mirror. He then overheard Damien talking to himself, instead of leaving he decided to press his ear against the door. Yes he also has 'miracle hearing cream' too.

Damien picked up a remote and switched on a medium flatscreen TV they had in the corner. "Computer interface with the TV's DVD player with the database. Show me a list of movies with a villain that has stupid minions, is misunderstood and turns good."

A massive list of movie titles appeared on the TV screen.

"Ok computer, play Pokémon the First Movie," Damien said.

The computer responded, "acknowledged, do you want to skip the mini movie before it?"

"No, leave it," Damien replied.

Twenty long minutes later:
Damien was staring at the screen looking slightly brain dead. "What.. was.. that?"

Finally the movie started. He started taking notes as soon as the villain, Mewtwo came on the screen. "Mmm hmm. Cloned, nope. Mistreated, oh yes. Made a slave, yes damn Brannon and Rick."

He stared in awe when Giovanni appeared on the screen, "oh wow, I like that guys style.. well except for the orange suit eugh. Team Rocket ey. Computer is the guy in the suit the main villain?"

"Negative," the computer responded. "He did match one of the details you entered; incapable minions."

"Hmm ok," Damien sighed. He continued taking notes.

Meanwhile Tim moved away from the door looking confused. "What is he up to?"

Over an a hour later:
Damien was now really enjoying the movie, he was sitting on the edge of his seat and was doing some arm gestures. "Wow, this Mewtwo rules. The idiots will definitely fall for this."

Meanwhile Tim had fallen asleep against the door, snoring quietly.

Ten minutes later:
"Wow that was good. Computer show me the series this movie is based on, only if it does show that boss guy and his minions," Damien ordered. "If it doesn't then show me that ReBoot movie you had in the list."

The computer responded, "acknowledged."

"Stand by, I need the toilet," Damien muttered as he got up. He stopped nearby the bathroom door. "Hmm I wonder if Mewtwo was cloned in a way so he didn't need it. That would be cool." He pressed the button next to the door, Tim fell to the ground as the door opened. "None of his minions were as bad as this, and they were mindless animals," he grumbled as he stepped into the bathroom.

The next morning
James/Jessie's Quarters:
Jessie was fast asleep in the bed when a flash of light lit up the room. Nutty Q appeared next to the bed, he tilted his head to the side.

"How is this woman still single?" he asked, placing a hand across his mouth.

Jessie groaned as she rolled onto her side. The sheet slid off her shoulder so he could see she was sleeping in a jacket that obviously wasn't hers.

"Hmm," Nutty Q sighed. His eyes narrowed as he eyed the jacket, then he looked around the room. "Computer, who's quarters are these?"

The computer responded, "James Taylor-Stuarts and Jessie Rex-Annet's." Her voice made Jessie turn onto her back, and her eyes twitch a little.

"What, so what's she.." Nutty Q stuttered. He spotted the empty bags next to the bed, "is this.."

"What the.." Jessie muttered, sitting up slightly. She then spotted Nutty Q standing nearby, she sat up right and closed the jacket she had on. "Q, what are you doing here, again!?"

"Ohno no, I don't owe you anything. You are the one who owe's me answers!" Nutty Q snapped.

"Uh.. what do you mean? You're the one who's watched me sleeping, twice," Jessie grumbled.

Nutty Q narrowed his eyes again, "why didn't you tell me you were already with somebody else."

"What makes you think I am?" Jessie asked.

"Your bags are lying around here, this kinda looks like a guy's room and the jacket you have on is guyish, and doesn't fit," Nutty Q replied.

"All right fine, but I didn't have to tell you," Jessie said. She smiled slyly, "so does this mean you wont pursue me now?"

Nutty Q folded his arms, "I've been researching human mating rituals, you being with someone doesn't mean it's not too late."

Jessie rolled her eyes, "oh my god, it is.."

"Really? I highly doubt the freak is marriage material, besides he'll be dead in no time at all," Nutty Q said.

Jessie pulled herself off the bed, she turned back to him. "You really do have a way with the ladies, don't you?"

"Why yes I think I do," Nutty Q said smugly.

"Q's obviously have no clue what sarcasm is," Jessie shook her head.

The doors opened, the two glanced in it's direction. "What's going on?" James asked as he stepped inside. "Q, what are you doing here?"

Nutty Q's eyes narrowed yet again, "you." He marched over to him. "You lying scum, you told me you didn't like her."

"Um when did I say that, and you still haven't answered my question," James said.

"No you said you had no intention of going for it with her. I respected you for that as lets face it, you're way out of her league," Nutty Q said.

James pulled a face as he moved a little to the left so he could see Jessie. She shrugged her shoulders, "he's just playing around, you know like most of the guys in our class did. You know, pretend to want me."

James closed his eyes and groaned, "Jess, most of them weren't playing around."

Nutty Q turned around with a look of horror on his face. "Playing around, I'm dead serious."

"Well that's too bad," James muttered.

"You, how could you? She should be with the best, and you're not it," Nutty Q said.

"And you think you are? You're the weakest Q there is," James said.

"Fine but you are only human," Nutty Q snapped.

Jessie put one hand on her hip, "oh I see, I'm only human too."

"Yes but you're the best of the lot of them, way too good to be human," Nutty Q said.

"Ok but James isn't exactly a run of the mill human, so doesn't that mean.." Jessie said.

"Oh right, he is born with extra strength just because he happened to be born on a certain day. Yes that makes him worthy," Nutty Q muttered.

"I doubt that's how it works," Jessie groaned.

"Ok that's enough," James muttered. He turned back to Nutty Q, "FYI Q, I never said I wasn't interested in her. We were already together when you and I met anyway."

Nutty Q gasped, "is this true?"

"Yep," Jessie replied.

"No matter, this isn't over. Jessie is my one true love, and I'll make her mine. I wont let some lying scum of a human stand in my way," Nutty Q grumbled. He disappeared.

"Well that's just great," Jessie sighed.

James made his way over to her. "That was interesting."

"For you maybe, but it's just been one disturbing night," Jessie muttered.

"Sorry it's just he said I was scum, and I held back and everything," James said.

Jessie smiled, "he's just jealous of you."

"Probably, he wants you and he'll never get you," James said. He leaned in to kiss her on the forehead. "You need a complete lack of taste to want him, but I do actually question your taste."

Jessie shook her head, "don't listen to him. You're way too good for me.."

"It's too early in the morning to make jokes Jess," James said with a smirk on his face.

"He's going to come back, what on earth are we going to do?" Jessie asked as she sat down on the bed.

James sat down beside her, he slipped an arm around her. "He's done this before, by tomorrow he'll be gone."

"Or maybe he'll swap me for someone else," Jessie said with a smile.

"That'll be more proof that he's mad," James said. Jessie shook her head before resting it on his shoulder, he rested his own head on hers.

The Ready Room:
Kathryn yawned into her hand, while the other hand steadily held a coffee cup. The door chimed. "Come in," she yawned.

Chakotay strolled inside, he stopped in front of her desk. "I've got all the data from the supernova," he said, handing over a PADD. She took it off him.

Kathryn kept her focus on the PADD she had already. In the corner of her eye she noticed Chakotay was still standing where he was before. She finally glanced at him, "is there something else?"

"Have you had anymore visits from Q?" he asked.

"No, there was just one," Kathryn replied.

"What exactly did he want? You said it was a personal request," Chakotay questioned.

Kathryn sighed as she put down the PADD. "He wants to mate with me."

Chakotay's face turned a shade paler, his eyes moved to the right as he tilted his head down. "I see."

"Of course it's out of the question. He obviously has some sort of hidden agenda, it wont be long until he gives it up," Kathryn said.

Chakotay's shoulders raised, eyes rolled a little. "Perhaps."

Kathryn looked up at him with concern in her eyes. She pulled herself out of the chair, placed a hand on the desk while resting the other one on his shoulder. "Oh Chakotay.."

"I know I don't have any right to feel this way, but this bothers the hell out of me," Chakotay muttered quietly.

"I do believe you're jealous," a familiar voice said. Kathryn turned her head to the left, Chakotay to the right. "Why didn't you tell me there was another man," Q growled.

Kathryn backed away from Chakotay and the desk, both of them turned to face Q.

"There isn't, I'm just not interested in you," Kathryn said icily.

Chakotay smiled slightly and took one step forward, "any questions?"

"Yes I have one. Would you be capable of raising a child, Chuckles?" Q questioned.

"Q," Kathryn said in a warning tone of voice.

"I don't think you would, the way you've treated Kathy's is proof enough," Q said.

Kathryn and Chakotay glanced at each other with wide eyes. Kathryn quickly shook it off as she looked back at Q. "And I have no doubt in my mind that you'd be an excellent father," Kathryn sarcastically said. She walked around her desk and made her way out of the room.

Chakotay stared at Q with a smirk on his face. He turned to follow her. Q remained where he was, managing to fume slightly.

The FVDA quarters:
Damien stepped out of the bathroom only to come face to face with Tim, stopping him in his tracks. "I wasn't in there that long," he snapped.

"I know what you're up to Damien. I overheard everything," Tim said coldly.

Damien's eyes shifted nervously, "what are you talking about?"

"I know all of your plans, and I'm going to share them with the rest of our crew," Tim said. "Unless you convince me otherwise."

Damien raised an eyebrow, "ok then, don't tell them what you think you know."

"That's not what I meant," Tim said.

"What, do you want money?" Damien asked, smirking.

"You know what I want," Tim replied.

"I'm hoping I don't," Damien muttered, looking disgusted.

Tim smiled, "Johnny burned the contract, I need a new.."

"I'd rather go to a strip club that has clones of Neelix working there, than do that," Damien grumbled.

"Ok fine, I'll uh tell the crew what I know," Tim said.

"Which is what exactly?" Damien asked.

"That you were um, up to something," Tim replied nervously.

Damien rolled his eyes as he walked around him.

Deck Three:
James stepped out of the turbolift looking slightly annoyed. "I have to do everything myself," he muttered.

Half way down the corridor Nutty Q appeared right in front of him.

"What do you want now?" James groaned.

"I challenge you," Nutty Q snarled. He raised a white glove and slapped him with it, "to a duel."

He stared at him with wide eyes. "My god, is this why you're known as Nutty Q?"

"Yes, I'm nuts about that woman, I bet you can't say the same," Nutty Q replied.

James shook his head, "no I meant that you're just crazy."

Nutty Q backed off a few steps, a gun appeared in both of his hands. "The winner will get Jessie."

"Look she doesn't like you. Even if you did win it wouldn't make a difference," James muttered.

Nutty Q smiled smugly, "are you afraid to lose." He held out one of the guns. "This is a human ritual, surely you will know it."

"Ok one, it's not a ritual, two I doubt this has been done in centuries," James said. "And it doesn't matter.."

Nutty Q shoved the gun into his hands. "First one to draw wins."

"All right, I'll humour you," James groaned. "Wait, how do we know who's the winner?"

"The loser will of gotten shot, obviously," Nutty Q said.

"Oh I see, you just want to kill me. If you win, I'm dead. If I win then nothing's changed," James said.

"Nonsense, I am no killer. I'll just shoot an arm or something," Nutty Q said.

"Ookay," James muttered.

Nutty Q turned away and walked down the corridor. He stopped about six metres down.

James sighed as he placed one hand on his hip. "Wouldn't it be easier to face off?"

"Oh right," Nutty Q muttered. He turned around while putting his gun into a gun pocket by his waist.

James put his behind his back and folded his arms. "Mine better not be blank."

"Cheat, me? Never, it isn't an honourable way. I want to do this properly," Nutty Q gasped.

"All right," James said. They stood in silence and still. Nutty Q grabbed his gun first, James a second later. They both aimed and fired. A clang of metal sounded, two bullets fell to the ground.

"What, how did you do that?" Nutty Q stuttered.

"I had a little target practise with these recently," James said as he re-folded his arms.

"No need for smugness, that makes it a tie," Nutty Q grumbled before disappearing.

The Ready Room:
Kathryn was busy working on another cup of coffee, reading the PADD Chakotay had given her.

In: "Bridge to Captain."

Kathryn tapped her commbadge, "yes?"

In: "You'd better come see this Captain."

Kathryn sighed as she stood up.

The Bridge:
"Careful not to touch anything," Chakotay said as he circled the now rose filled bridge.

"Ow," Tom grunted, jumping out of his chair.

"What did I just say," Chakotay smirked.

"No, I was sitting on some and I moved," Tom muttered while rubbing his butt.

Kathryn stepped out of her Ready Room, her eyes went wide. "What on earth!"

"They just appeared," Chakotay muttered.

Kathryn slowly made her way to the centre of the bridge. "Great, Q?"

Q appeared in front of her. "What do you think my darling? I think it brings that touch of colour this room desperately needs."

"Q, this is a bridge, get rid of them," Kathryn grumbled.

Q's face fell, "don't tell me you're a blue kind of girl." He clicked his fingers, all of the roses changed from red to blue. "What about white?"

"Q!" Kathryn snapped, using her infamous death glare on him.

"But girls love flowers," Q said with a pout. "Oh fine," he clicked his fingers again, the bridge turned back to normal and he disappeared.

Kathryn relaxed her shoulders and sighed, "has he been appearing anywhere else Commander?"

Chakotay was about to answer when Jessie stepped out of the turbolift, pursued by Nutty Q. "Eeew no, turbolifts are not aphrodisiac nests or whatever you called it, and again no!"

"But those other inferior humans act like that it is," Nutty Q said.

Jessie turned around to point a finger in his face, "listen mister, if you try to kiss me again you wont be able to mate at all. And don't say you're Q, you don't have one.."

"I do in this form, remember I can be anything for you," Nutty Q said. He took a hold of her finger, he quickly kissed it briefly.

"Eeew stop that!" Jessie snapped, she stormed away. Nutty Q was in pursuit again.

"That one's dicing with death," Tom commented.

"Just tell me what you want me to be, and I'll uh be. I'd do anything for you my love," Nutty Q sighed.

"Fine ok, I want you to be gone," Jessie grumbled.

"Sure beautiful," Nutty Q said. He disappeared again. She sighed in relief but he reappeared very quickly. "I'm sorry my sweet, I missed you."

"Look accept the fact that I'll never like you," Jessie muttered. "I'm with James, we're happy and it's serious, he is the only one for me," she whispered.

"But I can give you anything you desire, that would make you happy. I could make a gorgeous creature like yourself immortal, it would be a waste otherwise," Nutty Q said.

"I already have everything I want at this point, please just leave me alone," Jessie muttered.

"All right," Nutty Q shrugged his shoulders. "I'll see you later. I miss you already." He finally left.

"Wow, it must be Q mating season," Tom commented.

Kathryn turned to him, again using her death glare.

End of Part I

Part II

Nutty Q appeared behind Q, he rolled his eyes and turned to him. "Why must you always try to butt in with everything I do?" Nutty Q grumbled.

"Because everything you do causes chaos," Q replied. He folded his arms, "what do you think you're doing anyway. Don't you remember what happened the last time you tried this?"

"What are you talking about, I wouldn't.." Nutty Q stuttered, eyes shifting nervously.

"You're pursuing a girl exactly like you were pursuing Lena," Q said.

"That is ridiculous," Nutty Q gasped.

"No it's not, you are following a girl. Who is it?" Q asked.

"If you're so 'all knowing' then you should be able to tell me," Nutty Q replied.

Q shook his head, "you'd think you would of learned from your earlier mistake."

"I have, and how is this different from what you're doing with her mother?" Nutty Q muttered.

"I could give you a list," Q grumbled.

"No, I don't see why my baby can't be the one. You can't stand the fact that my DNA could save the Q continuum," Nutty Q said.

"How is that fact? It is only fact if the sentence made sense and it was true. Yours and hers would only cause chaos," Q said.

"I realise I made the wrong choice now, why do you think I'm here," Nutty Q said, eyes shifting nervously.

"Ah, we're getting somewhere, unlike somebody," Q said smugly.

Nutty Q folded his arms and narrowed his eyes. "And you think you are with that Captain? I must admit, watching you for the last few hours has been amusing."

"I could say the same," Q said.

"You don't even know who I'm in love with, so ha you haven't seen a thing," Nutty Q said.

"I don't need to," Q muttered. "You do remember what you have to do when all of this is sorted, don't you?"

"Get all my powers back?" Nutty Q questioned.

Q laughed, "you wish." His face turned serious, "you've got to sort out your mess."

Nutty Q folded his arms, "all right fine, but I do have more important matters to take care of first."

"What, getting rejected?" Q sniggered.

"Well you're doing enough of that for the two of us," Nutty Q said smugly.

"Such maturity. No wonder you keep getting rejected by humans," Q said.

Nutty Q narrowed his eyes, "you know I'm going to win her heart eventually." Q continued sniggering. "If I do you're going to be so sorry."

"Why would I?" Q questioned.

"Cos if I win, I'm going to choose your girl to be the carrier," Nutty Q replied.

"You can't do that," Q muttered.

"Why not? It stays in the family then," Nutty Q said, smiling evily.

"What am I worried about? You wont ever win," Q said, rolling his eyes. "Fine it's a deal, but if I win your girl is the carrier."

"Yes, deal," Nutty Q said.

Q sighed, "great, now who is she?"

Nutty Q smiled and sighed, "she's the most gorgeous creature in the cosmos. It's a shame she's human." He started to get tears in his eyes, "in about eighty years or so, she'll be gone."

"I don't think this'll work if you're trying to get the same woman I am," Q said.

Nutty Q shook it off, he put both hands on his hips. "No, Jessie is far superior to your coffee obsessed Captain."

"In your inferior opinion, Kat.." Q said. He raised his eyebrow, "wait, Jessie who?"

"It's either Rex or Annet, maybe both," Nutty Q replied.

Q groaned, "well our deals off."

"Why, you're scared I'm going to win or are you forfeiting all together?" Nutty Q asked.

"You should, not me," Q muttered.

"What, why? Oh you know she's with the freakazoid, don't worry about him," Nutty Q said.

"I wont, but you should be. Maybe you should of tried this a few months ago," Q said.

"Why exactly?" Nutty Q questioned.

"Because what you're trying to do with her, he's already beaten you to it," Q said. "And in the other reality he managed it about three times, I doubt this reality will be any different."

Nutty Q stared at him with wide eyes, "but.. but, you're just trying to put me off. I don't believe you." He disappeared leaving the other Q to smile smugly, but it didn't last long.

"Oh great, who's going to be the carrier now," he muttered.

The Ready Room:
"I don't know. He tried to hit on me before, but he gave up quickly," Jessie said.

Kathryn shook her head, then covered her face with her hands. "A Q has been following me around too. It can't be a coincidence."

Jessie frowned as she sat down opposite her. "You think they're up to something?"

Kathryn folded her arms on the desk, "I do now."

"Since yesterday, well this morning technically?" Jessie questioned.

"Yes last night," Kathryn replied. She keyed in a few commands on her computer.

"It's just so typical. The first person to say they loved me had to be him, and he probably was lying," Jessie muttered to herself.

"Shush, I'm going to send a message to the crew," Kathryn snapped.

"I'm sorry," Jessie sarcastically said with a raised eyebrow.

Kathryn cleared her throat, she pressed one more button. "Janeway to all hands. Last night we had a visit by two Q's. If you encounter either of them, do anything you can to find out what they're up to. Janeway out."

She fiddled with the computer again, "Captains Log Supple.." She pressed another button and turned her attention back to Jessie. "What did you say before?"

"Um, I'm sorry in a sarcastic tone," Jessie replied.

"No, before that," Kathryn said. "That Q said he loved you?"

"Yeah, I'm still clinging to the hope that he was lying," Jessie replied.

"You said that he was the first person," Kathryn muttered.

"Uh huh, what's the problem?" Jessie questioned.

"It sounded to me like you had something else to say," Kathryn replied.

"Doesn't matter, you told me to be quiet," Jessie said as she got back up. "I'd better find James just in case, Q probably sees him as a rival now."

"Yes, that's probably a good idea," Kathryn said.

Jessie turned to leave. Kathryn turned back to her computer.

Meanwhile
The Mess Hall:
Tom and Harry were busy working on a couple of PADDs while sitting at a table.

Tom sipped at his coffee, "you know, we need a better place to do these."

"You're complaining already, you've only been doing this for a minute," Harry said, raising an eyebrow.

"What can I say, I'd rather be at the helm all day," Tom muttered while rubbing his left shoulder
