October the 17th, 2373
Today I was walking down the promenade with Kira and Dax. We were discussing, as usually, males.
Kira has Bareil, Dax loves Worf, and the only one who hasn't got anyone is-me.
"Elizabeth, you really should go out more." Dax said.
God. As if anyone would approach me. Don't get me wrong, many guys like me, but I am known to them as the one who fights. Dangerous, in other words.
I won't explain all of it, but once I gave Quark such a beat.
So I said:
"I do go out, Jadzia, but I do not flirt with males."
She answered:"Well, you should do it. Find somebody and flirt with him. For an example..."she gazed around the room before pointing her finger at a group of men, "One of them."
I looked at them and frowned.
"Never!"
"Why?" Dax looked at me.
"Because", I stated, "Those are Cardassians. And I HATE Cardassians."
WERE THESE THE WORDS SPOKEN BY THE MISTRESS OF ONE OF THE MOST POWERFUL CARDASSIANS?
FIND OUT MORE NEXT TIME.
IF YOU WANT ME TO CONTINUE, LET ME KNOW!

October the 18th, 2373
I'm sitting In my bedroom and I just CAN'T believe what happened.
Tonight, we(the entire senior crew of DS9) were having dinner at Quark's for the Captain's birthday. Everything was good, we were laughing, joking and having fun, just until the Captain asked:
"Now, about my crew's love life!" he was pretty drunk, which was easy to see.
Everybody was silent for a moment, and I already let out a sigh of relief hoping that nobody will say anything about me, when Kira had to start:"Elizabeth doesn't have a boyfriend yet!"
I can't tell how angry I was, since that was a subject everybody was boring me with.
Sisko gazed at me for about half a minute. Then he spoke:
"Well, that will change soon...in about two days, I think. AND you will be..'happily married' for about a month."
My eyes widened as I smiled.
"Surely, Captain, if you say so!" I gave the others a confused look.
"Elizabeth..it's true." Dax said slowly.
I almost jumped out of my own skin.
"What? How?" I exclaimed.
"Well, Miss Kellis, as you probably know, there is a war going on at Cardassia Prime." as soon as I heard those words, Cardassia Prime, I knew that what he has to tell me was no good.
"A group of genetically enhanced Cardassians has taken over half of the planet. We have been asked by the Cardassian Government to help. Now, recently we caught two of their leaders, R'Ket and T'Kayla, a married couple, while they were on Risa on a vacation. As you are probably guessing..."
And I definitely was!
, "...you will represent T'Kayla. If you are wondering why you"..he guessed what I wanted to ask, "..it is because I need a scientist as yourself to analyze those genetically enhanced Cardassians. The Federation needs some data as well."
He finished, and I nodded my head slowly, only one more question on my mind. It seemed to be on everybody's mind, because Kira suddenly asked:
"Who will be R'ket?"
The words that followed were those who sealed my destiny forever.
"Gul Dukat."
You can imagine what I did after that, I mean I had to be a Cardassian's wife for a month. And I hate them. They are cruel, arrogant tyrants.
After trying to get out of it in many ways(unsuccessfully), I had to agree. I wouldn't risk being court martialed..because of a Cardassian.
So the day after tomorrow I'm leaving, and tomorrow I'll meet my...partner.
May the fate be my ally....

Oh my god. Oh my GOD. Now I'm really mad.
Remind me never, EVER to try being friendly with a Cardassian again. Because when you do so, they treat you like dirt.
Today morning, I woke up early, ready to meet my so called partner, Dukat. I put on my formal uniform, yadda, yadda, yadda...
Anyway, I went to the airlocks, were Sisko was already standing. He seemed to suffer the concequences of drinking so much yesterday, but never mind that.
The airlock opened, and passangers of some ship started comming out.
By Sisko's tense face appearence, I knew that HE was on this ship. And I was right.
A tall, dark-haired Cardassian approached us. By the mere way he walked, I could see that he was used to being in charge.
Sisko nodded his head at Dukat, saying:"Gul Dukat. Welcome to DS9."
Dukat smiled.
"It is nice to be on, if you don't mind me calling it like that once or twice, Terok Nor." Dukat spoke, his voice giving away his very well developed charisma skills. Then he noticed me.
Sisko quickly spoke:
"Ah, this is Lieutenant Elizabeth Kellis, your partner-to-be. Lieutenant Kellis, Gul Dukat."
Dukat bowed slightly, saying:
"It is both a pleasure and an honour to meet you,Lieutenant."
I simply nodded my head, annoyed enough by his mere appearance to start slapping him. But I controlled my temper somehow(BARELY), and said, kindly:
"I feel mutually."
Sisko seemed happy, because he said:
"I will leave you two to get accquainted, if you need anything, call for me."
And without a single word he departed.
Dukat gazed at me with his blue eyes, as if he was scanning me. I could almost feel him enetering my mind...
"Yes, I would like a tour, if you intended to ask me." Dukt said, putting an end to the silence.
"Oh" I was taken aback, hoping not to spend any more time with him then nescesarry, "I could always arrange for Major Kira or---" he shook his head, what stopped me from speaking any further.
"I want YOU to give me a tour. After all, I want to meet my....fiancee better!"
Again I was surprised, but I suddenly started to find this situation funny. I smiled.
"Yes of course. Let's start with the....promenade?"
And pretty soon we were walking on the upper level of it(the promenade).
"So...you are REALLY married, or are you not?" I asked, focusing on staying friendly.
"Oh, I am," ,Dukat laughed, "Actually, my wife and I are proud parents of seven children."
"You Cardassians are active."
I couldn't help it. It just slipped my tongue.
Dukat didn't take it as an offense. I so whish he did, and that I do not have to go with him to that stupid mission, but he was cool under every pressure and in any situation.
"We are, most certainly!" he said with a smirk.
We were just passing next to Quark's, and I asked him:
"Would you like a drink?"
If you think I started to like him, DON'T. I didn't. But I had to pretend.
Anyway, he agreed, and we ordered a couple of glasses of sintehol.
As we sat on the table, he started to talk about Cardassia. bout how 'wonderful, glorious and eternal' that planet is.
I was bored to death, I have to say,
It is not that his talking skills were bad, no, they were excellent, as I assumed before. But I hated Cardassians, and that also included hating Cardassia.
In the end I had to escort him to his quarters.
Suddenly, as we were walking, he put an arm over my shoulder and said:"Do you want to come over?"
DISGUSTING!
I pushed his hand awy and said:"No, thank you. NOT to your quarters anyway."
And I left him there standing.
I am so mad, I have to be his WIFE for a month, I mean! And look at him, the way he is acting.
Tomorrow we are leaving for Cardassia Prime.
I swear to God I won't speak a word to him during the flight.
