SEE CHAPTER ONE FOR DISCLAIMER
A/N: Here below we find chapter 9/9 in my first fan fiction of any sort.
As you read in The A/N of Chpter3 AKA: "Maybe A Little" this is actually a totally different chapter 9 than the original for these reasons;
1. The original was everywhere and made little sense
2. The little sense it did make was very slashy which isn't what I am going for here.
3. Spock was Highly WHACKED outta character.
But even with all the trouble it gave me, and the waiting it took you guys, I have truly loved this Fic. Even when it was dormant I longed to finish it. So here it is the finale a Drabble-Shot (crazy I know it's not like you were expecting over 1,000 words… you were? Then you must have me mistaken with some one else….).
I hope you have enjoyed this as much as I have.

Yard 9/9: Across This Great Expanse
At that moment he truly began to wonder if there was any end to his Captain's antics. If there was, from where he stood, it was not currently in sight.
During these moments he truly believed his friend was robbed of a 'normal' human childhood. By what he had gleaned from his mothers stories of her youth, this was regular behavior of a child during 'playtime'.
Spock truly did not mind when his Captain would behave this way, but this time was different. His feeling towards this behavior changed when Jim got him involved.
Jim said it was necessary and from where Spock stood that conclusion was not exactly the most illogical one. It was to show the natives they were serious, and he trusted Jim. Thus, he played along, just as that Terran saying goes; " When in Rome do as the Romans do." Spock was certain this particular trope applied, if not he was unsure what would.
The Commander had thought he had seen everything, emotionally unstable-time traveling Romulans included. Yet contrary to his belief, nothing could have quite prepared him for his Captain taking the next step in his charade.
Completing his persona. Spock watched as James Tiberius Kirk quite convincingly imitated the speech of an Iotian, almost, if not exactly like a native. As if the blue suede, pinstriped suit he wore, with a matching white fedora, complete with a fire arm, was not enough. No, Jim had to start speaking like them.
If Spock did not know Jim's nature, he would, at this point, have become extremely concerned for his dear Captain's childhood. Of course more so than he already was. To make matters worse, all of Jim's actions in relation to his first officer almost pleaded that he 'play' along. Spock was convinced this was in no way necessary, but Jim continually pushed and incessantly beckoned, and he caved.
It began when his Captain coaxed him into saying "Riiiiiiight". From there it went south. Throughout the mission Captain Kirk was able to successfully coax his First Officer to; put his feet on a desk (which was against his etiquette), reply saying "Check" (instead of the usual 'Undoubtedly' or 'Affirmative') , to ride in a car (which Jim 'hotwired' a little too quickly and drove a little too well ), but something happened.
Somewhere between the 'hotwiring' and the kidnapping, Spock realized Jim had stopped coaxing him and he was doing it on his own. He even pointed a loaded gun to a man and threatened him. Very un-Vulcan.
But, as he sat in sick-bay receiving a standard 'Post Mission Physical Examination' he truly pondered his actions, and realized this;
Across this great expanse known as the universe, only one man could convince him to act like a mobster, and that was his dearest friend.
Inaudible to anyone Spock sighed, " 'But only for you.'"

A/N:
Whoever can guess which episode of TOS this chapter was inspired by gets the first S'more.
AWWW… and for those of you wondering the " 'But only for you'" was a reference to the toast. Hence the ''
I want to thank every one who read this. I think it's been a good run.
Let us all hope my next Fic (which I am currently writing) is more efficiently typed…
(This has been 747 words from Phronima's Power)
