ZABE: In honor of this one shot, I have asked a very special guest to say the disclaimer: MR. SPOCK!

(Round of Applause)

MR. SPOCK: Thank you, Zabe. The characters of Star Trek: The Next Generation belong to the late human, Gene Roddenberry; and not Zabe Rogue. She does, however, own the original characters: the Vulcan, K'Jai, and the Betazoid/Human, Sean Riker. Live Long and Prosper.

DEANNA TROI: Don't you just love his voice?

KATHRYN JANEWAY: I know. Vulcans are so dignified.

CHAKOTAY: HELLO?

WILL RIKER: WE'RE STANDING RIGHT HERE! (to SPOCK) Thanks a lot, Spock.

MR. SPOCK: I cannot help it if humanoid females are attracted to me. Everyone, enjoy this story.

Hardly Logic

Since the day she was born, she had been taught not to show emotion. The slightest smile would grant her even the severest of punishment. The girl could remember, when she was six, she fell down a flight of stairs and broke her ankle. Her mother didn't come to her for comfort, her father scolded her not to show emotion. She resisted the urge to cry, regardless of the excruciating pain. Yes, it was illogical for a Vulcan to show the slightest form of emotion. K'Jai has been taught that all her life and she's never questioned it…until now.

K'Jai looked at the young ensign, lying comatose on the bio-bed. A fiery rage ignited inside of her that she's never experienced before. K'Jai rubs her eyes to stop the tears from falling. She hears footsteps approaching but she doesn't turn around.

"Go away, Sean."

"I just came to see if you were all right."

"I am fine. Just leave me be."

Sean Riker turned to leave when he felt strong emotions coming from K'Jai. Emotions unusual for a Vulcan.

"Nina stepped in front of that disruptor to save your life," He said. "It wasn't your fault."

K'Jai turns to Sean and slaps him hard. "How dare you probe my mind!" She fumed. "You had no right!"

"I couldn't help it!" Sean argued. "Your guilt was too strong for me to ignore."

"It is illogical for a Vulcan…"

"Don't give me that Vulcan crap. Nina risked her life to save yours and you feel that it should be you on that bed and not her."

K'Jai opened her mouth to retaliate but decided against it. She just turned away from Sean and back to Nina.

"It's okay to…feel vulnerable once in a while."

K'Jai looked at Sean, face stained with tears. "Really?"

Sean came over and embraced his good friend. K'Jai, for her part, didn't think about Vulcan logic. Just good comfort.

This is hardly logic. She thought.

ZABE: Wasn't that comforting? (sees WORF crying) Worf? Are you crying?

WORF: NO, I AM NOT! A KLINGON DOES NOT CRY! I merely had...something in my eye.

ZABE: Right...Anyway, please review! They are greatly appreciated. Oh, and I have a question for you: Who is my favorite Star Trek character? Answer my question correctly, and you'll be featured in one of my Nova Journey Stories.
