The Teddy Bear War/Short Story

Chapter 49: The Teddy War/The Short Story

(Three weeks later)

Bini Filters's POV

-----

I never felt so...so inraged! It's one thing to steal my uniform, or hell, my knives! But to go, out of your way, and steal my precious B.B Bunny! He stole my precious Teddy Rabbit from my quarters and has now hidden it. He is going to give her back, no matter what! Lieutenant Ayala and Ensign Rolins flanked me as I marched towards Micheal and Sarah Janeway. Sarah was looking very confused, as Micheal glared at me and stood his ground, I, then noticed Micheal holding Mollie's leash. Mollie didn't seem that clued in either. She was laying on the ground. Yawning. Clearly didn't have a care in the world.

"Micheal! You have crossed the line!" I barked. Coming to an abrupt stop, a few meters away from him. It was sorta like a cowboy square off in those really old movies Tom used to show me.

"Wh-Why are we here?" Ensign Rollins hissed beside me.

"I might be seeing things but it looks like she might beat up Micheal." Ayala replied.

"We aren't going to let that happen right? ...Ayala? RIGHT?" Rollins pressed.

"Of course! We don't have a death wish." Ayala said. I ignored them and focused on my current enemy, taking a big step forward.

"I crossed the line? You stole Mr. Snuffles! MY teddy bear! GIVE HIM BACK!" He fought back. I scoffed in disbelief.

"You think I did that? PLEASE! I have better things to do with my time. I can't say the same for you of course. You stole B.B Bunny. You don't have a job like me. You could have easily escaped the Doctor and stole my precious teddy Rabbit!" I attacked.

"Wait, they are fighting over...stuffed animals? Why are we here?" Rollins whispered behind me.

"One of them is a child, the other is an immature idiot." Ayala replied with a chuckle. I cringed and clenched my fists. Trying to control my aggression.

"I won't tell you where she is, until you tell me where Mr. Snuffles is!" Micheal threatened.

"HA! HA! That's rich! I really don't want to waste my time hiding your stupid bear!"

"Same here with your stupid rabbit!" He barked.

"WHY YOU LITTLE-" I started, marching towards the enemy. Suddenly, Ayala and Rollins grabbed my arms, starting to drag me back from where we came from. I protested, cursed and fought for release as that misfit disappeared from around the bend.

"Filters! Pu-Ugh-Pull it together!" Ayala grunted as they continued to pull me back.

"HE-That M-HE STOLE THE MOST IMPORTANT THING ON THIS SHIP! LET ME GO! I HAVE RIGHTS!"

Captain Kathryn Janeway's POV

"Here is the latest report from security, Captain." Lieutenant Ayala said. I thanked him and held the padd from my command chair, it took only a few seconds for me to read it before I instantly knew what it was about. I let out a long sigh and pinched the bridge of my nose. Chakotay leaned towards me from his own chair with a worried expression.

"Are you alright?" He asked. I gave him a small smile and handed him the padd. A security report made by Lieutenant Ayala about the incident that crewmembers reported as a disturbance. Bini and Micheal got into a fight over stuffed animals.

This was probably my felt.

Chakotay finished reading the report and gave me a suspicious gaze.

"What did you do?" He asked.

"I may have...taken Mr. Snuffles in an attempt to...show, Micheal, that there is more to life than protecting your stuffed animal." I explained.

"Oh, then he stole Bini's stuffed animal for revenge, thinking it was her..." Chakotay concluded.

"Chakotay, this is very bad."

(Three hours later. Time: 5 pm.)

Bini Filters POV

I walked up and down the line of security officers, I trusted most in the messhall. 15 officers. I came to an abrupt stop. Looking at all of them very closely.

"We are here for a very important reason." I started, pulling out my tricorder from my belt. "We are here to find B.B Bunny."

"Your...stuffed animal?" An ensign pipped up. Getting a few snickers and chuckles from the group. I snapped my fingers together. Trying to resist the urge to put them all on report.

"Pull it together people! We are getting revenge on Janeway! First, we find my bunny. Second. We find his stupid bear. Third, the bear becomes a hostage and negotiations start. Am I clear?" I snapped.

"Bini, we have much better things to do. What is in this for us?" Rollins asked.

"When I become second in command for security again, I don't report any of you. How's that?"

"That's...fine."

"Good. Now move!" I ordered. They all broke away into their own groups and headed off to search the ship. I stayed back, confident that I will find her. Even if it is the last thing that I do.

(Meanwhile.)

Micheal Janeway's POV

I rushed into our bedroom. Breathing heavily and holding the phaser set to stun close. I lifted up my mattress slowly with a grunt. Sarah watched me with curiosity.

"What are you doin?" She asked.

"Bini wanted a war." I said. Yanking out the form of a stuffed animal and holding it up for Sarah to see. It was B.B Bunny. I managed to swipe it from her quarters after Mr. Snufffles disappeared. "She is getting one."

(Two days later: 8 am)

Bini Filters POV

"TWO DAYS!" I yelled and stalked around the group in the messhall. "TWO BLOODY DAYS! B.B Bunny is still missing, and you guys suck! You guys suck at your job! Do you know that?!"

"A 15-year-old insulting our intelligence isn't really motivating us to find her stupid rabbit." A Ensign said.

"Stupid? ...STUPID?!" I roared.

"Oh great, now you have done it." Another officer hissed.

"WHY? WHY MAY I ASK ARE WE HERE? YOU HAVE DONE NOTHING CONSTRUCTIVE TO HELP! OUT! EVERYONE LEAVE!" I yelled some more. Everyone is an idiot! Morons! I AM DONE! I will find her myself.

"BINI!" The familiar voice of Micheal Janeway yelled behind me. I spun around and saw him clenching B.B Bunny, with a phaser set at stun pointed at her.

"y-Y-You wo-wouldn't dare!" I stammered. He flashed me an evil grin and pressed the phaser against her temple.

"You went and stole Mr. Snuffles. This is a negotiation time. I have been patient. Very patient. But the time is up. Where is he?" Micheal replied.

"I don't know, I swear! Let her go-"

"WHERE IS MR. SNUFFLES?"

"I DON'T KNOW WHERE YOUR BEAR IS! Give me her back!" I roared and lunged at Micheal. Micheal dodged and collapsed to the floor. Quickly pointing his phaser at me and pressing the trigger. I dodged the shot. Barely avoiding it.

I stumbled up and ducked into the kitchen. Ignoring Neelix, who was currently seemed to be hyperventilating and freaking out as he hid in the little corner of his sad kitchen.

"Neelix? Where is your hidden security phaser?" I asked, slowly looking above the counter. Seeing the officers trying to convince Micheal that this was a stupid idea and Micheal pointing a phaser at me, firing again. I ducked under the counter and glared back at Neelix.

"Ensign Filters! This is ridiculous! I won't let y-"

"Cut the crap, Neelix! Phaser now!" I barked back. Avoiding another shot fired from Micheal.

"I won't stand by and let you shoot on Micheal Janeway! Who is a child! The Captain's child!" He protested again.

"NEELIX! I know who the enemy is! This is a hostage situation! Just because he is the Captain's child, doesn't mean I am going to let him get away with this crime! I AM SECURITY! Would you rather I threw my tricorder?!" I argued, Yanking my tricorder from my belt and holding it. Daring Neelix to test me. "Believe me! This will hurt a lot more than a stun setting on a phaser!"

He very hesitantly gestured to under one of his cabinets. I crawled across the floor and reached under the cabinet and getting the small phaser. I yanked it towards my chest and made a short speech to Neelix how I wasn't going to harm him...too badly. How much would it hurt to get stunned in the chest? Welp. Time to find out!

I set the phaser to the lowerest stun setting and made a split-second decision. In one motion I got up and fired in the direction Micheal was in. I heard several gasps and slowly opened my eyes.

Micheal's eyes were wide in horror as his phaser was pointed at me behind a wall of tables. But he wasn't looking at me. He was looking in front of him. To the ground. I looked down slowly, scared of what I would see.

There, on the floor. Was Captain Janeway. Knocked out. I just knocked out the Captain.

Silence.

"Ahhhhhh. Oh no."

"Bini..." Micheal quivering voice called. He slowly looked up with still the face of horror. The face of horror that I am sure I was mirroring. "We are dead."

"Lord in heaven help us."
