I don't own Star Trek
(Warning: I was malnourished today. The reviews I got were good, but most of them were from friends. You GUUUUYYYYSSS. should leave more reviews please. Just for that the chapter content will suffer. On that same note, I'm looking for a beta. Anyone interested should let me know and then explain to me how the beta process works.)
"Eve!" Spock called. He had finally come to an area where he was not being battered with sand. It was a small little cave and he knew that Eve must be in here.
"DON'T COME ANY CLOSER!" She yelped.
"Because the effects of the Venus drug you have been taking have worn off?" he said in his normal I-really-don't-care-at-all-but-sound-smart voice.
"How did yo-"
"I took the human equivalent of 8 years of chemistry, and also have heightened senses because of my heritage."
Eve, now looking more dowdy than stunning frowned. "Wouldn't that mean you would want us even more?"
"For a brief moment I did until my senses registered the drug you were wearing."
"Oh." Eve said coyly. "I thought it was because of the crush you have on the captain."
Spock refused to show any emotions, but of course he was annoyed. "I do not believe I know what you are talking about."
"Well..." she said looking around him to the caves entrance which now appeared to be somewhat sealed off. "We are probably going to be stuck in here for awhile, so I figure I might be able to get a more truthful answer out of you before we get out." then she added grimly. "If we ever do."
Spock quirked his eyebrow. Aside from the fact that she had used drugs, and that she was a bit more scatter-brained, this woman reminded him very much of Miss Charles.

Uhura was beyond angry. Today had just been one of the stupidest days ever. The only day that beat it, and by a long-shot, was when she came onto Spock.
All the men on the ship fawning over these new women, and Spock still fawning over the Captain... And the Captain. Don't get her started on him. He had Spock's full attention. Something she had only dreamed of having. The pain about losing his planet was gone from his face, replaced with the confusion over the captain. And, the captain had managed to get Spock to show emotions. To the untrained eye, it was impossible to tell. But Uhura had known Spock long enough to see the little emotions he would show using his eyes or eyebrows.
And now, Spock had run off after some floozy. And she knew that wasn't by choice. He understood human ego, and knew that Childress wouldn't do the deal unless the pretty blonde was part of it. And that pretty blonde. Almost as bad as the captain. Almost. So as she used the communicator to contact him she was happy to have McCoy on her side also chewing the Captain out for all the reckless endangerment he had put the crew through. She was so glad she planned to get Bones's help with drilling the fact that Kirk needed to start respecting Spock later that day.
If she ever got off the planet.

Within 6 hours Spock and Eve were found. But not before Eve had finally gotten the Vulcan to admit that he did 'like' his Captain. Of course it was followed by a lengthy definition of the word like, but Eve counted it as a victory nonetheless. Childress was outraged to find that these women were now plain. He accused Mudd of lying and decided to keep him imprisoned until other authorities could come to get him. Spock explained that as long as they kept the women away from the sandstorm, the minerals in the caves would keep the women looking attractive, much like the drug did. Kirk got his lithium and all was well.
Until Spock and Uhura had to be beamed up. The transporters had been affected by the lithium deficiency. Scotty had assured both Spock and Uhura that it would still be safe to beam up, so both quickly agreed and were beamed on board.
Both noticed that they felt quite funny and that the Enterprise looked very strange. As did it's inhabitants.
"Captain?" Spock said looking over at what appeared to be Kirk.
(That's what you get when I don't get fed enough reviews. Paragraphs with little to no dialogue. Ad it's really short. D: I'm a little disappointed in . Something funny I realized. For the Mudd girls...(who no longer have a part in this story) you can't call them Mary Sues, because they are canon characters... That made me happy. And pssh...it's to hard to actually write Uhura and Bones together just yet. I promise they'll reprimand Kirk eventually, but I've yet again set up a wonderfully actiony plot to keep our Captain and First Officer apart. I'm not gonna give it away just yet, but lets just say "Captain?" Isn't Spock's Captain...
And I don't want to sound greedy, but, before I do the next chapter, I would enjoy 2 reviews? But one would be enough.)
