Stupid Jim, making him come down to rec room 4 to drink when he knows very well there's work tomorrow. But in a lapse of judgement, Leonard agreed to come to this gathering of the senior staff for some old fashioned tomfoolery, which means that Leonard is going to be stuck babysitting these reckless kids, who want to play juvenile drinking games such as never have I ever. Which is where Leonard found himself now, everybody but him and the hobgoblin getting tipsy. The hobgoblin because he cannot get drunk, and him because he is just that good at the game (i.e he hasn't done anything the younger members had done. Oh the joys of being part of an older generation).
"Alright Bones, I am determined to get you drunk!" Jim crowed as it became his turn again.
"Good luck with that kid" Bones shot back with a smirk
"O.k! Never have I ever..." Jim shot a smirk in Bones' direction, promising mischief and making Bones uncomfortable. "Played the lead in a musical!"
DAMN HIM!
Scowling, Leonard reached for his shot and swallowed, enjoying the burn, yet to proud to admit it. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Spock also reach for his shot. Huh.
"Both of you?!" Jim asked, looking constipated trying to hold his laughter in.
"What musical were ya in?" Scotty asked
"Details!" Nyota demanded, scooting her chair closer.
"Well I don't know about the hobgoblin, but I was in Rent in high school. I played Mark, the lead." McCoy said, deciding to take some pride in it.
"No vay! Isn't he zhe one vith zhe glasses and is a nerd?" Chekoz asked. At McCoy's nod, they all broke down into giggles.
"Alright, enough 'bout me. What about you Spock? McCoy asked, turning to face him and effectively shifting everybody's attention to the vulcan.
"I was also apart of Rent within my senior yet. I was studying abroad on Earth at the time." Spock said.
"Who did you play?" Sulu asked, bouncing in his seat
Turning slightly green, the equivalent of a human blush, Spock replied "I played the part of Roger."
McCoy did a spit take.
"Are you okay Bones?" Jim asked
"Who's Roger?" Sulu asked
"Roger" McCoy explained "is a rockstar with writer's block, coming back from a heroin addiction, and fighting aids with his friends"
Everybody had a flabbergasted look on their face.
"I don't believe you, you pointy eared bastard." McCoy said.
"Actually" Jim said "I believe we are going to need proof from both of you. I believe there is a song in Rent, just the two of those characters sing. Perform the number for us, and we might believe you" the damn smirk again.
"Doctor?" Spock asked, turning to face McCoy with a raised eyebrow.
"Well, if you wanna play it that way, then fine" McCoy said downing another shot, and heading up to the small stage with mics.
Spock went over to cue the song, and pressed play. The guitar riff played through the speakers and McCoy grabbed the mic

"Nice job Hobgoblin" McCoy said as the others, senior staff and other crew members who heard the music and came to investigate, applauded the two.
"Thank you Doctor, you were quite talented as well" Spock replied.
