Chapter 8

Sulu walked to the castle where Spock and Kirk were last. He pushed open the already cracked door, and went in.

"Hold my hand, Miss Uhura," Sulu requested of Uhura. "We have to act like we're in love."

"Okay," Uhura said as she interlaced her fingers with Sulu's. The two walked along, trying to look for Spock and Kirk. They were met by Aiwa in one of the corridors.

"Mr. Sulu, is she your wife?" Aiwa asked Sulu, while giving Uhura some nasty looks.

"Yes," Sulu smiled and lied as he let go of Uhura's hand, threw his arms around her, and kissed her cheek. "She's Mrs. Sulu, my wife."

"Where is her wedding ring?" Aiwa asked.

"She..uh..well, it's being cleaned," Sulu said inpromptu.

"She is beautiful," Aiwa said sarcastically, and after she had walked by Uhura and Sulu, thinking they couldn't hear her, she said, "But I have not given up."

"What did she say?" Uhura asked.

"She said you were beautiful," Sulu said.

"No...I mean when she walked by," Uhura said.

"Something about 'given up', I don't know," Sulu said as he walked down the rest of the corridor. As they were walking, Sulu noticed an open door, with a uniform exactly like his own, on the floor. Captain Kirk's uniform!

"That looks like Kirk's uniform on the floor," Sulu pointed out. "I bet he made love to Shika."
