Chakotay stood in his booth, looking at the queue of people lined up before him. When Tom had asked Chakotay to run a booth at the opening of his new holo-program, a county fair, he had been reluctant. After much begging from Tom and learning of the fact that Kathryn would be too busy to attend with him, he agreed to participate. Little did he realize that he would be assigned to the kissing booth.

"Kisses for $1" the sign read. Replicator rations had been exchanged for old earth money to make the fair more authentic, and the rations collected would be used for a huge party later that night in the mess hall.

Chakotay looked at the queue of women in front of him. Who would have thought that his booth would be so popular? He didn't think of himself as particularly handsome, so maybe they just wanted a kiss with the commander. It was just a shame though he thought, that the one person he actually wanted to kiss, and would have kissed for free, wasn't here.

He turned to the next person in the queue. It was Lt. Sherry Davies. She had a big grin on her face as she handed Chakotay ten dollars.

"That'll be ten kisses thanks Commander"

Chakotay chuckled. Ooh yeah. This was going to be fun.

Kathryn Janeway was sitting in the mess hall taking a break from the mountain of reports she had stacked on her desk, when a group of women noisily entered. They didn't notice their captain sitting in the corner as they started laughing about some of the things they had encountered at the fair. Kathryn's ears perked up when she heard Chakotay's name.

"That last kiss of Chakotay's was worth every cent!" Sherry Davis laughed.

"You ought to know. You bought ten of them! The poor Commander probably didn't know what he was getting himself in for when he agreed to this." They laughed.

"Hey, it's not my fault he's only charging a dollar for each kiss. I would have gladly spent a month's worth of rations just for a single one of those kisses. This is the Commander we are talking about remember? The tattooed love god? He is so gorgeous." Sherry replied feigning a swoon. The group continued joking and laughing for a few more minutes, and then left the mess hall.

Kathryn almost choked on her coffee at the description of her first officer. She couldn't have been more surprised at what she had just heard if she had said it herself. And what was he doing? Selling Kisses? This she had to see. Smothering the sudden jealousy that had reared its head at the thought of Chakotay kissing everyone except her, Kathryn made her way towards the holodeck.

Chakotay was having a blast. So far he had about a hundred dollars in the kitty and he had only kissed about fifteen different crewmembers. He'd had a good laugh when Tom had paid his dollar for a quick peck, but as far as kisses go none of the ones he had received so far had been spectacular. He guessed it was because none of them were the person he really wanted to kiss.

He was still enjoying himself though. He was really getting into the spirit of the fair. So much so, that he didn't notice the figure of his captain watching from a short distance away. Had he turned to look at her, he would have seen the mischievous grin on her face as she made her way towards his booth, and stood waiting in the queue.

Chakotay finished kissing the young ensign in front of him, who was by now blushing profusely.
"Thankyou Ensign. Was a pleasure doing business with you!" Chakotay smiled. "O.k. who's next?"
Chakotay barely managed to conceal his surprise when he found Kathryn standing in front of him.

"Kathryn? I thought you were too busy to come to the fair?" Chakotay frowned for a second.

"Well I heard there was a tattooed love god selling kisses for a dollar in here… thought I would check it out." Kathryn smiled deviously. "After all, if there is a Love God walking around my ship, I should have been informed. Also, I believe that as Captain I should be able to get my kisses in first. Privilage of rank and all that." She almost laughed at the surprised look on Chakotay's face.

"Kathryn?"

"So I'm here for my kisses. They're what? A dollar each? O.k. well here is $100. That's one hundred kisses Chakotay." She grinned at him.

Chakotay was stunned to say the least. Here he was, being called a love god, and not only did Kathryn want one kiss from him, she wanted one hundred! He felt faint.

"Chakotay? Am I going to get my kisses? Or are you going to hold up the queue?"

"Er.. Sure Ka…Captain, but um, did you say one hundred kisses?"

Kathryn leaned in close and whispered in his ear, her hot breath causing a stir in other parts of his anatomy.

"That's right one hundred kisses. But how about you just give me one here, and save the rest for later. Say in my quarters, 1900 hours?" and with that she kissed him lightly on the lips, and left him to wonder just who the person was that had just kissed him, and what had she done with Kathryn?
