Spock's ponderings, notation #389
What is happening to me?
As time passes, I find myself strangely drawn to Doctor McCoy's assistant, Christine Chapel. It is extremely illogical that I should be experiencing this, and I cannot fathom the sudden influx of these uncomfortable human feelings. It does not in any way resemble my former bond and attraction to T'Pring, which was entirely natural. Nurse Chapel and I share no bond or connection; it would be impossible, as she is not a Vulcan.
And yet I will find myself idly thinking of her soft blond tresses, or those clear blue eyes that are so steady and sensitive. Sometimes I hear her voice echoing in my head when I am attempting meditation, and can almost feel her presence when I play my harp.
These are most disquieting sensations, and I am at a loss as to how I can suppress them. My numerous attempts have all met with failure, and the whole ordeal is quite... disturbing.
I have endeavored to avoid consulting Doctor McCoy; in spite of his repeated claims to be solely a medical practitioner, he possesses a mild touch of psychiatry, but I have no doubt that he would make an illogical diagnosis for my unsettling condition, and perhaps make an attempt at what he would believe to be humorous remarks. Still, I fear that if I cannot regain control of myself, I will be left with no alternative.
Spock out.

Dear Diary,

First Officer Spock came into Sickbay earlier on an errand for the captain, and he actually smiled at me! Mr. Spock! Smiled! At me!

I thought my heart would beat right out of my chest. I suppose I'm very insensible, but there it is. There's just something about him that's...oh, it's indescribable! But whatever it is, it plays havoc with my heart and senses.
I'm afraid it's public knowledge that I'm in love with him, and Dr. McCoy doesn't...ah...entirely approve. Fortunately, I don't think he noticed what transpired earlier.

Christine Chapel

Personal notes of Dr. "Bones" McCoy

Good Lord! He smiled! He actually smiled! At Nurse Chapel!

Thank goodness my cardiovascular system is in good working order.

Spock, keep your green-blooded hands off my assistants.

I quite fail to understand you, Doctor. I have no intentions of placing my hands on your assistants.

That's not what I...Dammit Spock, do you always have to be so specific about things?

I find it illogical to say something that you do not mean, and quite often it leads to undue confusion that could quite easily be avoided.

Did you find it logical to display your pearly whites in an endearing smile while in the presence of my nurse?

Doctor, I am required to occupy my attention on practical matters while on duty. I request that you keep your number of dispatches at a minimum at the current time.

Yeah. I didn't think it was logical, either.

Captain's personal log, Stardate 543.6 Captain James T. Kirk recording

I swear, if Lieutenant Riley puts a Tribble in my bed again, he's spending the next four and a half years in the brig. I don't care if the things are dead, I don't want them on my ship.

Hee hee...Spock's getting positively sentimental! XD I had a bit of trouble with that part, but if his full-blooded Vulcan father married a human, well, why not Spock?
