Bugger. I just realised I was supposed to update yesterday. I am so sorry about this being late. I said once a week and it's been over a week now...
Thanks again for the reviews.
As for the physically throwing them out thing. I don't think they really did that because if they did, there probably would have been a bit of actual physical fighting involved... Or maybe they'd drag them out. Besides, they care a lot about their drinks. But I see what you mean so thanks.
Once again, I would like to inform you that I did not come up with the actual rules themselves. I merely asked permission to use Saphura's Rules from The Official List of Unofficial Rules to write these drabbles. I did not post a single thing until after I had permission to write and share what I have written.
The original author, Saphura, also has a story, The Official Reasons for Unofficial Rules. Basically, she has also been writing stories for these Rules but she has not done all of them so I have decided to write some of my own drabbles for the Rules. I may include some Rules she has already done but I will try to avoid writing the same story.
Again, I'm sorry in advance for any and all mistakes. Feel free to correct me if there's something that's bugging you as I haven't watched the entire original series yet so some characters may be slightly OOC, and the information may be inaccurate or just incorrect completely.
This drabble does two Rules at once.
21. Do not, under any circumstances, insult the Enterprise in Scott's presence. You will be sorry.
194. When Mr. Scott talks about the Enterprise as his ship and such, do not respond "well if you love her so much, why don't you marry her?".
The young Ensign pushed his food around his plate with his fork.
"What's up?" another Ensign asked as he plopped down onto the seat opposite with his food.
"It's nothing... It's just... Well, I don't feel very... Uh, safe... I guess."
"Why? Is someone bullying you? Do you want me to kick their ass?" the Ensign stood up eagerly before being forced back into his seat.
"No, no, it's just, this old rust-bucket. I feel like it could crash at any mo- Woah". The Ensign was yanked up and out of his seat.
"What d'ya just say about my Enterprise?" the Scot in red asked, his jaw set in place.
"I just... I... Uh..." he glanced to the Captain who had his arms crossed across his chest, hoping for help. Kirk shook his head.
"No one insults my ship." Scotty pushed him back into his seat. "I dare you to say another word against her. I. Dare. You." The Ensign glanced quickly to the other Ensign who was frozen in her seat in fear and then an idea struck him. He smirked.
"Well, if you love her so much, why don't you marry her?" the Ensign teased. Scotty lunged for the Ensign who squeaked and ducked. Jim quickly grabbed Scotty.
"I suggest you apologise." Kirk warned.
"I... Uh, sorry... Mr. Scott... Captain." he mumbled quick apologies before abandoning his food and running away, the female Ensign following quickly.
I'm pretty sure in Trouble with Tribbles, Scotty actually ended up hurting some Klingons who insulted the Enterprise, didn't he? I think he did... I figured he wouldn't actually hurt the Ensign because they're part of the crew, and they're a little bit more important.
