Captains personal log stardate XXXX.X

Today has not been a good day so far. At 0400hrs a very grumpy Chief Engineer woke me up saying there was a problem with the warp core and it had to be taken offline. All I wanted to do was go back to sleep and wish today wasn't my birthday. But no. I had to get up and head down to engineering. By 0630 they had found the problem and estimated 10hrs to complete the repairs.

After I got out of engineering I headed for the mess hall. As I entered the mess hall, a cheery little Talaxian greeted me. I said hello and spotted Chakotay. I headed over and sat with him. Breakfast had come and gone and I headed to the bridge with Chakotay. I stayed there for 10 minutes before heading to my ready room. Soon as I got in there I headed for my couch.

I ended up sleeping there until lunchtime when Chakotay woke me up by overriding my lock and coming into the ready room. Scarred the hell out of me too. I was so embarrassed at being found sleeping on duty. What made it worse was that I told him to go away to let me sleep. I just completely forgot where I was. He didn't let me sleep.

He just started poking me, telling me it was lunchtime. I finally got up and told him I wasn't hungry but needed a few cups of coffee instead. So we had lunch in my ready room. Sitting there drinking my coffee I finally realised no one had said happy birthday to me. I was hurt that Chakotay didn't mention it. After all he is my friend and friends usually don't forget that stuff. The rest of the day was spent on the bridge. Now I'm about to go have dinner in the mess hall. End personal log.

Captains personal log continued.

It's 0300 and I just got back from dinner. When I arrived in the mess hall earlier tonight Chakotay was at the door waiting for me. He told me 'Happy Birthday Kathryn' and gave me a kiss on the cheek.

He led me into the mess hall where some of the crew yelled out 'Happy Birthday'. Then everyone in the mess hall was transported into Holodeck 2. In the middle of the room there was a huge holographic cake. What happened next was priceless. 7of9 jumped out of the cake and started singing 'Happy Birthday to you'. I'm still trying to figure out who put her up to it. I'm thinking the Doctor or Tom. I'm glad they didn't forget my birthday. I'm so tired and I really could use a cup of coffee. But I can't go to bed just yet because Chakotay is bringing over my present. I wonder what it could be?

Since he gave me that kiss on the cheek before we headed into the mess hall I've been thinking about us. Would it be bad to pursue a relationship and if its too late to start one. I'm going to bring this up when he gets here. End personal log.

The End
