“Kissme,” he requests.

“Noooo,” she denies immediately, hands onhis chest to hold him away just in case if he tries to go for it anyway.

“Whynot? Just one little kiss?” He pouts, but she will not be swayed.

“Washthat gunk off your face first, then I’ll think about it.”

“Oh,come one, it’s just a little fake Gorn vomit. What’s so bad about that?”

“Everything.Now get your nasty ass face away from me.”

“You’re a captain, not a doctor, what is this?” she asks,chuckling to herself when he comes into his trailer in medical scrubs.

“It’s called my job,” he replies, dropping his script on thetable. “When did you get here?”

“As soon as I started getting dizzy. I thought to myself,what do I need? To get to my doctor, so, here I am.”

“Are there any other symptoms, ma’am?” he asks, playingalong for now.

“Well, it’s my heart, you see. It gets this way when my man’saway. Can you do anything for me, Doctor? It’s starting to make me feel faint.”She mocks the motion of putting her hand to her forehead but then loses her balance.Luckily, Chris catches her.

“Youfainted… straight into my arms. You know, if you wanted my attention you didn’thave to go to such extremes.”

Shegrips onto him, a little startled but pleased she hadn’t hit the ground. “Iflew all the way out here, didn’t I?”

“Bones? What do you say?” Jim asks with a grin, his armsspread wide as if ready to welcome his friend into the plans. But he doesn’tlook surprised by the answer he gets.

“Not on your life.”

“You won’t be able to stay away and you know it. Scotty! Howabout it?”

“Er,” Scotty paused, looking torn. “Cap’n normally I’m allfor your ideas, you’re a mad bastard and a genius one at that. But this time Ithink you’re a wee too much on the mad side.”

Jim’s jaw drops, playing up on the shock he felt at Scottyof all people refusing. “All right then. What about you, Uhura? Not your normalstyle, I’ll admit, but I thi-”

“I decline, Kirk.”

“Of course you do. And I already know what you think aboutthis Spock so I’m not even going to ask. Sulu, my man!” Jim presses his handstogether in a vague gesture of prayer. “Give me some good news.”

“This is without a doubt the stupidest plan you’ve ever had.”Jim starts to slump as Sulu breaks out into a grin. “Of course I’m in.”

Jim gives a cry of joy, jumping to Hikaru’s side and puttinghis arm around the Lieutenant’s shoulders. “I knew I could count on you. Okay,we’ll catch the rest of you sticks in the mud later,” Jim says in farewell asthe two make their way out.

The room is silent,the remainder of the crew looking to each other.

“We have to go with them, don’t we,” Uhura says eventually.

“I had already resigned myself to this fact the moment thecaptain started on this idea,” Spock replies. “You are all welcome to comeassist me.”

She sighs, standing up to follow him out.

“Damnit, Jim,” Bones mutters, racing off to get his kit.

“That’s one hell of a mess,” Chris manages finally, staring atthe kitchen. Bowls, sprinkles, whisks and spoons are spread everywhere. Whenshe proudly holds out her hands he sees that they are stained by food dye, making her skin morecolourful than a rainbow.

“Maybe,” she says. “But it is one hell of a cake.”

“Don’t make it into a big deal,” John warns.

“But John,” Dorian protests.

“I said don’t.”

“John, you finally admitted you loved me and you have yet tolet go of my hand. I reserve the right to make a very big deal out of this. A very,very, big deal.”

“All right then, Mr Sulu,” Jim says, balancing the weapon in his hand. “Show me just how well you can handle a sword.”

Sulu gets into position before freezing as he notices his captain’s smirk. “Are you flirting with me?”

“You’d better put on a good show, Lieutenant.”
