"C'mon, Bones, double date! It'll be fun!" Bones' glare indicates just how much fun he thinks it will be. "You, me; Carol, Spock- the four of us going out on the town."
"No."
"Why not?"
"We finally got shore leave- that's free time, Jim. I am not spending that time with you and the hobgoblin. I see you both every day."
"But we always spend shore leave together doing something."
"Yeah, so maybe it's time to try something different."
"So that's how it is, huh. Don't wanna spend time with your best friend any more. That's cool, you found a girlfriend, what do you need me for. No sir, don't need Kirk. Not gonna hang out with him anymore. He'll be fine. He doesn't need a-"
"Jim," Bones warns, cutting off the Captain's mock hurt. He had many things to do in preparation for the upcoming shore leave, he did not have the time, or patience, really, to stand and listen to this.
"I'll stop if you agree to dinner." Bones opens his mouth to argue but Jim cuts him off. "Otherwise I have another three hours to kill until Spock gets of duty. C'mon, Bones, I already got Spock to agree."
"Wha- Spock? Commander Spock agreed to a double date?"
"Uh, sure. Yeah. Do you think I'd be here if he wasn't?" McCoy eyes him suspiciously. "C'mon, one night, then I won't bother you for the rest of the leave. You can have Carol all to yourself."
Bones sighs. "Fine. But only because I just have to see what Spock's going to be like on this little outing of yours."
"Sweet!" He claps him on the shoulder. "Looking forward to it already." He makes for the door, only pausing when Bones calls out.
"And I'll hold you to it, Jim. The rest of leave to myself!"
"Yeah, you got it," Jim calls over his shoulder.
Now he had three hours to form a plan. Three hours before he utters the words:
"C'mon, Spock, double date! It'll be fun! You and me, Bones and Carol, the four of us out for dinner."
