POV Rating G Summary:An exercise in the impressions our favorite duo leaves on those
that know them. Disclaimer: Don't own `em. Just renting them for the moment. Thanks to Janet for the beta! All remaining
errors are mine.
When the lift stopped on deck 28, the two entered the already crowded space and nodded
their respective greetings. This is what the riders heard:
"I am afraid that I must disagree, Doctor."
"Of
course you do, Spock. How can you say . . .?"
"It is illogical to assume. . ."
"No it isn't. Not in this . .
."
"You would have me believe . . ."
"That's exactly what I'd . . ."
"I fail to understand . . ."
"Have
you even tried?"
"Frequently, but your position lacks sufficient warrant."
"And yours lacks . . ."
"Is
this not similar to the situation on . . ."
"Duranna? I suppose, but what about the monarchy . . ."
"You're
letting your emotions cloud your judgment, Doctor."
"No, Spock, I'm just seeing other options here. You're saying .
. ."
"Two plus two is still four."
"I know that, dammit, but one plus three is four, too."
"Granted,
but given the parameters . . ."
And with that, the two exited the lift on deck 5.
What the ensign thought: `Oh
please don't let me be assigned to work with one of them today.'
What Uhura thought: `Ooh. The boys will be having
make up sex tonight. Just the thought of the two them on the other side of my wall gets me hot. Think I'll see if Scotty's
available tonight.'
What Scotty thought: `Well, I'll be getting a visit from Uhura tonight. Whenever Spock and McCoy
fight, she gets all upset. Not that I mind, of course.'
What Kirk thought: `I wonder what the mess is serving.'
What
Chekov said: "I miss the good old days."
"The good old days, Chekov?" Uhura asked.
"You mean before they were
bonded?" Asked Scotty.
"Yes." He sighed.
"You mean they didn't fight then?" The ensign bravely asked.
"Oh
no. They have always fought. That's what they do." Chekov added.
"No," said Kirk, "Chekov means when they argued in
complete sentences."
"Exactly," agreed Chekov as they all exited at the bridge. "As the Russian proverb says,
you cannot avoid the mines if you don't know vhere the minefield is."
What the ensign thought: Some days I think
these guys have been in space too long.
