A Classic
Contrary to popular belief, McCoy did loosen up and relax from his usual snarky mind frame every once in a while. In a long while, mind you.
Usually when he relaxed he'd do it over a drink with the captain or one of his other friends. He'd also go on shore-leaves, play cards, and bicker (among other things). That's just how McCoy worked.
On this particular occasion he was relaxing over a movie with his captain, Kirk, and the "hobgoblin", Spock. They were trying to persuade Spock as to the pure awesomeness of a certain twenty-first century children's show.
According to McCoy, it was a classic (he used to watch it with his daughter).
According to Kirk, it was the best children's show that ever was (he'd watched it as a child).
According to Spock, it was highly illogical.
Bears did no go around wearing shirts, talking to rabbits and owls and tigers, and they certainly didn't talk. To portray a bear as doing any of these things was illogical.
(That isn't to say he didn't feel a strange kinship with Christopher Robin, who also owned and loved a and large, potentially dangerous animal as a pet in his youth. Spock wondered if he would later obtain a copy of Winnie the Pooh's adventures at some later time, preferably when McCoy and Kirk didn't know about it.)
At any rate, they'd eventually gotten Spock to stop protesting enough to sit down and watch the movie!
Both McCoy and Kirk were thoroughly enjoying themselves and Spock hadn't made any outward signs of complete disgust at the last highly illogical and emotional scene.
They deemed the the night a success.
A/N: The only reason I even thought of this at all is because I've recently been thinking about The Wolf in the Fold. It's an awesome episode and one of the actors who played the character Mr. Hengist and voiced the bady, Redjac or Jack the Ripper, also voiced a character from Winnie the Pooh. Take a guess... Piglet. Betcha didn't know that. (No, I don't own Winnie the Pooh. I bet you didn't know that either.)
