Summary: Conversational drabble, which could just about fit into canon! Just something silly that came to me as a result of our shower being broken. Much as I love a good bath, rinsing shampoo out of long hair is hell without my shower! And I know I swore to myself I wouldn’t write anymore drabbles after I finished my Drabble Contest piece, but this just wouldn’t come out in any other way…
The Chop
“Why did you cut your hair?”
“I fancied a change.”
“I’m not buying that, I thought you liked it how it was.”
“I’ve never been happy with my hair, not since I was a child.”
“Name someone on this ship with nicer hair than you.”
“Seven.”
“‘Little Miss Perfection’ doesn’t count. Besides, your hair’s much nicer.”
“Really? I thought blond was your thing.”
“What?”
“Nothing.”
“So why?”
“It came to a choice - my hair or my baths.”
“What?”
“You’ve never tried washing long hair in the bath have you?”
“You never gave me the chance.”
Her jaw hit the floor.

On with the next one, another conversational piece... I'm not so happy
with
this one, it felt too much like I was trying to pad it out.
One More Time
"Kathryn, if you do that one more time I'm going to..."
"You're going to what?"
"Actually, no, forget it."
"I won't, so tell me, you're going to what?"
"No, you wouldn't like it, so I'm not going to say it."
"Tell me, before I make it an order."
"Kathryn..."
"Chakotay!"
"Okay, but remember I didn't want to say this, you made me. I was going to say if you do that one more time I'm going to kiss you."
"You mean if I put my hand on your chest?"
"Yes."
"Like this?"
He'd warned her.
And so he kissed her...

This one is not a personal comment on the size of Chakotay’s mouth!

“Why was Harry late this morning?”
“He had to see the Doctor about his wisdom teeth.”
“What was wrong with them?”
“You never had any problems with yours, did you?”
“No.”
“Thought not, you look like you’ve plenty of room.”
“Are you saying I have a big mouth?”
“No, just that those of us with smaller mouths often have overcrowding problems if our wisdom teeth come through, whereas people like you…”
“Like me how?"
“Well, with more room…”
“Big mouths.”
“I didn’t say that, I…”
“Kathryn, first rule of holes - when you’re in one, stop digging.”
“Harry’s fine now.”
“Good.”
