A/N: sorry for taking so long to update. But to write these brief stories well one must be in the right mindset. That's why I wait until my teachers assign a boat load of homework and my brain needs a break. hope you like this on. Oh, it takes place shortly after Mirror, Mirror in Season 2, disk 2, episode 33.
Disclaimer: See previous Chapter.
It was Spock's Birthday. He didn't expect anything as he had yet to tell his friends it was his birthday. As he mulled over a science report the door bell rang. "Enter."
Kirk and McCoy entered with a bow wrapped in colorful paper. Bones smile, "Happy Birthday Spock." Smiling like a little boy with a secret Kirk held out the package. It rattled slightly. Setting down elderly Maz'hiv, Spock tentatively accepted it. He and Maz'hiv sat there staring at the package. The lizard moved over to sniff the package. His tail started lashing.
"I told you the lizard wouldn't like it." Kirk told Bones, that goofy smile was still in place.
"What ever Jim, what ever," they continued to watch Spock and his lizard, "They are creepy, so alike. It's scary." Bones said this studying the pair studying the package.
Kirk ignored him. "C'mon Spock open it!"
An eye brow rose curiously as Spock picked it up, noting the skittering sound that came from it. Slowly he unwrapped the paper to reveal a brown box with air holes. Lifting off the lid he found yet another lizard.
"Pogona vitticeps." Spock said recognizing the species.
Bones rolled his eyes, "It's a beard dragon!"
"I believe that's what I said." Spock replied unperturbed. Bones muttered under his breath.
"Spock, do you know why we got you this particular lizard?" Kirk asked that gleam hadn't left his eyes.
"I am afraid I am at the loss."
"Would it help if I told you her name is Mirror?" There wasn't a response; Kirk took it as it hadn't helped. "I… Bones and I to be exact thought that in each universe someone or something with a beard should live here."
"Ahh…" Spock said in reply.
"Took you long enough." Bones muttered.
A/N: Well, that's it for now. No promises for a timely update after this.
