“aww… c’mmon Tom, just for a few…”

“Sorry Aseawen, but I can’t let you ‘take the Flyer for a spin’”

“pretty-please-with-replicated-sugar-on-top?”

Tom rolled his eyes.

“computer, set up a level 4 force field around the helm”

“HEY! Don’t you computer-set-up-a-level-whatever-force-field me, flyboy!”

SuperSanne grinned at Doec

“Ha, told you! Pay up D.!”

“darn it…”

“What are you doing?” Aseawen asked, forgetting all about taking over the Delta Flyer

“we betted if Tom would be stupid enough to let you at the helm and I won!”

“Hey!” Tom said. “I heard that you know!”

“Uhm… I was on your side, remember?”

Tom sighed

“your bet’s not going to do you any good you know”

“why not? I know Doec’s from America but there’s a bank near my house that lets you exchange dollars for euros at a very low…”

“we don’t have money in the 24th century”

“BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Who’s the winner now, eh?”

“Doec?”

“yeah?”

“see that airlock over there?”

“uhm… sure, what are you…EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEK!”

“LADIES! Don’t make me come back there!”

“YAY! Go SuperSanne! Go Doec!”

A few hours later…

“are we there yet?”

“no”

“still not?”

“no”

“how about now?”

“I WILL TELL YOU WHEN… Oh! We’re there already!”

Aseawen, SuperSanne and Doec rushed over to the view screen (or as close as they could get, because of the forcefield) and stared at the tiny speck in the distance.

“Magnify!” tom instructed the computer

“It looks just like Voyager!”

“ I…I think it IS Voyager!”

“Hey flyboy, what’s the big idea? Isn’t this supposed to be an academy?”

“We decided to let you follow your lessons on board, so the environment will be the same as in the show”

“wait a minute, you know Voyager is a TV show in our world?”

“yes, Q told us”

“and you’re not…uhm…shocked?”

“not really, we’ve seen stranger things during the years we spent in this quadrant”

“well someone’s behaving a little OOC today, isn’t he?” Aseawen whispered to SuperSanne and Doec. They all glanced at Tom who was now humming Voyager’s themesong.

“So,” she continued, “why are you doing this anyway? I mean, are you saying that one day, Q just popped op and told you about the whole TV-show-thing and that people are writing fanfiction about you?”

“yep!”

“okaaaaaaaaaaay…”

Aseawen decided not to ask any further questions because the more answers they got, the less sense everything seemed to make. While tom was setting a course for Voyager, she went back to SuperSanne and Doec, who were looking out the window.

“what’s up?” she whispered, so Tom wouldn’t be able to listen in.

“we’re trying to figure out in which season we are” SuperSanne whispered back

“and?”

“well, Doec thought she spotted the Caretakers Array a few minutes ago, but I’m almost certain that I’ve seen a few Hirogen ships lurking in that green nebula we just passed”

“and what about that strange glowing thingy over there,” Aseawen pointed at a small green-yellowish speck in the distance, “Isn’t that an opening to fluidic space?”

Their conversation was cut short by ‘flyboy’ who had just been given permission to dock. A few moments later, the three confused authoresses were standing in sickbay.

“uhm… aren’t we supposed to be in the shuttlebay?”

“you three must be the new students” a friendly voice suddenly spoke from behind them.

“don’t worry, I’m just going to scan you. It’s standard procedure”

“K-K-KES?” SuperSanne exclaimed

“Pleased to meet you” She smiled, not noticing that SuperSannes jaw had just dropped three feet.

“I’m have to go to the hydroponicsbay. Just wait here, the Doctor will be with you shortly” the Ocampa said as she left sickbay

“Did you see that? She had short hair, I told you I saw the Caretakers Array back there!” Doec chided at SuperSanne and Aseawen

“No way, this can’t be the first season!” SuperSanne argued “the Delta Flyer was build in season five!”

“Then what is Kes is still doing here, she left Voyager in season four!” Aseawen asked.

“and she was older when she did!” Doec added.

“oh well,” Aseawen said, shrugging her shoulders. “as long as I get to see B’Elanna!”

“Well, I guess you must be Aseawen…” a male voice suddenly said

Startled, Aseawen spun around

“You’re…the Doctor!”

“the one and only” he said amused.

“Oh wow! B’Elanna is like my favourite character EVER (SuperSanne and Doec sweatdropped) but you’re also very…”

“thank you, most students don’t…”

“Cool… it goes right trough!”

“STOP THAT!” he snapped at SuperSanne who had sneaked up on him from behind and was now poking the poor hologram to see if he was real

“sjeez…”

The Doctor sighed and started to scan Doec. He managed to use his tricorder on her for exactly five seconds, before she suddenly jumped at him and grabbed his arm,

“and what are YOU up to?” he asked in an annoyed tone, not even trying to get her of his back

“no way…” Doec gasped, ignoring the dark glare the EMH was sending her. “you have a mobile emitter!”

“I told you this isn’t season one!” SuperSanne smirked.

Before Doec could respond, a girl suddenly rushed into Sickbay and almost knocked over Aseawen.

“(pant, pant) If somebody askes (pant), you haven’t seen me!” she said, but just as she was about to crawl into a jefferies tube, Seven of Nine entered and no, she did not looked like she was in a good mood.

“Dark ninga! I request to know what you did to my alcove!”

“uh oh…”

“comply!” she threatened

“Wow, what on Earth did you do to piss her off like that?” Aseawen whispered admiringly

“All students that have been checked by the Doctor have to go to Cargobay two. When I got there, I thought all that green Borg light was a little boring, and…”

“tampered with my alcove” Seven of Nine finished. “it is now emitting thirteen different colours of light and plays ‘Disco Fever’ every time I try to regenerate” she said in an icy voice

“Hey, I was doing you a favour!”

“explain”

“Well…uhm…I can’t right now, but for some reason it really looked like a good idea back then, don’t you like it?” she asked sheepishly

“I do not”

“Wait, Before you do anything rash: I just want to remind you that I have watched every episode you were in like a thousand times and that it is very rude to assimilate your fans!”

“Doctor, have you checked the last students?” she said, completely ignoring Dark ninga.

“yes, there fine… physically”

“Follow us” Seven said to them, as she grabbed Dark ninga’s wrist and dragged her back to Cargobay two
