"Done!" said Jim. He slammed close his workbook, "No more homework for the rest of the weekend."
"Me too." said Bones. Spock was reading and didn't say. They assumed he was also done.
"We should do something." said Jim, standing up. "Too bad I can't leave campus."
"Don't you go cooking up elaborate plans, that's part of why you're grounded in the first place." said Bones.
"I'm not grounded, I have to do really good in my classes for three more weeks, and I can't leave campus and... Oh gosh, I am grounded." said Kirk.
"told ya."
" Hey, I have an idea, let's get some movies." said Kirk.
"That's not a half-bad idea. Spock! Were getting a few movies, what should we get?" asked Bones of their Vulcan roommate.
"I do not know." he said, not even looking up.
"Well what's your favorite movie?" asked Jim, taking away the book.
"I've never seen a movie." said Spock, snatching his book back.
"Okay now we have to have a movie night, although we shoulda guessed the hobgoblin had never seen a movie." said Bones. "I'm gonna talk to Scotty, he can rig us a big screen to watch them on and we can get some of the others to watch with us."
"Yeah, every room brings a movie." said Jim. "Call Scotty, tell him to have it ready for tomorrow night."
This is gonna be fun.
Spock looked around. They were in Scotty's quarters because since Scotty had gotten a room to himself he had the most space. There were blueprints to various ships tacked up on the walls and spread across the desk, including some Scotty appeared to be designing, the shelves were full of model starships, and sailing ships. Also lots of engineering equipment and science and engineering projects. And a large tool-case.
"Alright, everyone here?" asked Scotty. It looked like everyone was. Chekov, Sulu and Bones were sitting on the floor leaning against the bed, which was opposite the screen Scotty had set up against the wall. Uhura and Chapel had bought cushions and were sitting on them. Kirk had hopped up on Scotty's bed and was sitting next to Janice Rand. Scotty had already called the only chair in the room.
"Hey Spock, there's space for you here." said Uhura gesturing to next to Chapel. Spock honestly wanted to sit anywhere else, but that was the only seat. He sat down.
"Okay, who's movie first?" asked Kirk.
"We brought 'the war of Eliko'." said Sulu, he and Chekov shared a room.
"We have 'Omega Quadrant'." said Kirk.
"Christine and I fought about it for an hour, but we finally chose an old movie. 'The Titanic' Said Uhura.
"A romance film?" said Chekov.
"Well I picked out something old too. It's called 'Star Wars'." said Scotty.
"I love that movie!" said Bones.
"I brought 'Juniper Mars'." said Janice.
"So we have two action, a horror, a romance, and a comedy." said Uhura. "I say Horror first, Romance last."
"Let's get in started then!" said Kirk. And Scotty put in 'Omega Quadrant'.
"I am not sleeping tonight." said Chekov.
"Aww it wasn't that bad." said Kirk.
Yeah easy for you to say, Janice just hugged you the whole time. Thought McCoy, but he liked Horror movies so he kept this to himself.
"Remind me how that was supposed to be scary." said Christine.
"Your liked that?" said Uhura.
"I don't scare easy." said Christine.
"Hikaru's and mine next!" said Chekov. They put it in.
Spock rubbed his eyes. They had watched all of the movies, except one, 'The Titanic'. He roommates appeared to have found 'Juniper Mars' hilarious, but Uhura, Janice, and Christine appeared to have been bored during 'War of Eliko' while the others had enjoyed it. 'Star Wars' special effects had not been very believable, and Scotty had kept commenting on how he could build particular devices in the movie, at which point Bones dared him to build a weapon in the movie known as a 'lightsaber'
"Enjoying yourself Spock?" asked Christine, she smiled at him.
"I am finding this informative on human social habits." he said.
"That means yes." said Kirk, his arm draped over Rand's shoulder. "How 'bout you Janice."
"Uh-huh." she said.
"Alright, now you ladies finally get to watch your Romance." said Scotty as he started the movie.
"Man, that was the best idea I've had in a long time." said Jim as they walked back to their dorm, they were in a different building than Scotty.
"Because you liked the movies or because you spent half the time making out with Janice?" asked Bones
"Both." he said. "And Spock, you spent that whole time sitting next to Christine and you didn't even hold her hand? Geez, you know, you're half-human, no one would blame you."
"No one here would, but Leonard would never cease to bring the subject up." said Spock. "And even if I did allow myself to have a... relationship with one of our female peers, I wouldn't casually hold her hand."
"Well why not?" asked Bones, "Girls love it when you hold their hand when you sit next to them or walk with them." They entered their building.
"Hand holding has a different significance on Vulcan than on Earth." Said Spock.
"Whatever." said Jim, "Here we are." they entered the room.
"I'm exhausted." said Jim. He lay down on his bed, on top of the covers.
"Yeah me too." said Bones. He looked over. "He's already asleep!"
"It would appear so." said Spock.
"Be quiet, you'll wake him up." said Leonard. "And honestly if he was tired enough to fall asleep like that, you don't wanna wake him up."
Just to make it perfectly clear, the movies I made up we, 'The war of Eliko' , 'Juniper Mars', 'And 'Omega Quadrant'. So don't go looking for them, they don't exist.
