A Tribble on Vulcan 1.
Aboard the starship A line of security officers lined up at a docking bay. The shuttle that carried T'Pau, Spock's grandmother, pulled in with a sudden jerk as it hit the ground. T'Pau was the clan matriarch. Spock, Kirk, and Bones arrived at the docking bay to greet her.
Kirk simply said, "I am Captain Jim Kirk. This is Dr. McCoy, and Spock, I believe, is your favorite grandson," said Kirk with a chuckle.
"Favorite," began T'Pau, "is a human expresson," she said plainly with a small Vulcan smirk.
With a smile, Kirk gave her a tour of the starship before showing her to her quarters.
"Captain, this is not a shore leave, but I want a smooth transport back to Vulcan. I trust you will have the starship under your control."
Kirk returned to the bridge with Spock. Bones had to return to the sick bay. An officer had a rare case of chicken pox, but instead of red dots there were rainbow dots and if you itched the green one, you would turn into a leprechaun. Sadly, officer Riley did not know not to scratch the green. Now a random leprechaun was frantically gallavanting around granting strange wishes, and trying to find his rainbow in the starship.
Uhura was walking by the storage units and found something delightful. A single adorable tribble. She took the tribble to the sickbay.
"This kind of rare tribble. I believe that it will not be able to breed."
Uhura was overjoyed. A tribble that would not reproduce? Uhura knew a little girl barely 12. Her name was Tina. She gave the tribble to Tina. Tina was SO happy to have the adorable creature. Thirty minutes later she was trying to find a person who would take it back. She realized how hard it was to take care of it. The last person she considered was T'Pau. "She's a Vulcan," thought Tina. "She needs some adorableness in her life."
Tina packed the tribble in a large gift box with mini furniture she made out of cardboard. Two and a half hours later a package arrived in front of T'Pau's quarters. She opened the gift saying, "Maybe it's some important papers." No important papers came out of that box. Only a tiny tribble. She took it inside. "What a fluffy ball of nonsense. "
She kept the creature even to the end of her stay. She even took the tribble to Vulcan. That was when T'Pau slipped up.
Chapter 2. 1.. 2.. 3.. 4,000 Tribbles... On Vulcan.
T'Pau was napping on the shuttle. She woke up with a sudden jerk. T'Pau exited the shuttle with her tribble in her hands. She named it T'Pring. When she got home from work she would say, "T'pring you lazy ball of fluff, you have gotten so fat. Wait, not you T'pring Tribble, I was talking about the REAL lazy ball of fluff." (This was a jab at the real T'Pring)
T'Pau sat down to some TV and the salty, buttery, fluffy snack her daughter in law addicted her to. "Oh T'pring, my only tribble, why are humans so dependent on comfort food? Vulcans just call them luxuries." After watching some television and eating a good dinner, T'Pau fell asleep. She woke up to 11 more Tribbles. She was astonished. She opened her suitcase to 103 more. What could she do? Nothing. When she returned from work her house was overrun by tiny Tribbles. She marched right back up to the starship with a box holding 4,346 Tribbles. She was exhausted. There was no one to take them back. She took them to Dr. McCoy.
"I believe I can stop them from breeding, " remarked McCoy. At the end, every single person on the starship got a tribble that would not reproduce EVER! And T'Pring got to come home with T'Pau to eat luxuries and watch television.
The End.
