Alternate ending to the episode where neelix leaves

[bintak]

I don't really care what they do with Neelix during that episode as long as it involves him becoming a throw rug for Janeway's quarters or a stuffed head mounted on Chakotay's trophy wall.

My alternate ending of this episode: Neelix walks down the corridor, walks into the transporter room, walks up to the transporter and just when they are about to beam him down to that asteroid he says: "No, this doesn't feel right. My duties are here and so are my best friends too. I promised Captain Janeway that I would stay by her side and I will do it. Tell them down there that I have changed my mind. I'm staying!

Then he walks up to Tuvok, gives him a hug and says: "Mr Vulcan! Tonight I'm gonna cook the best Ploomek Soup you've ever tasted!"

Tuvok looks as he is about to be executed and the last thing we see is when Neelix tries to drag a reluctant Tuvok out of the transporter room.

Why is it so important that Neelix end up in the Alpha Quadrant . . . especially after he had fallen in love for the first time, since Kes?

Because I want all the main characters available for future adventures in books. As for love, why don't send him to Risa on vacation?

Because that's not a rational person's idea of love...making whoopee certainly...love certainly not

The comment about Risa was a joke. or

Anyway, Neelix could possible find true love somewhere else as well. I'm sure there's a planet in the Alpha Quadrant where a talented Talaxian could find someone. Or maybe he could persuade Dexa to follow him to Earth.
