I Never Realized Trip
"I never realized that you were capable of doing something that stupid." Hoshi's voice shook with laughter.
Trip looked over at her. "*Ensign*, if ya know what's good for ya, you won't say another word."
"What on Earth made you think you could eat an entire Pecan pie in less than five minutes?" They both looked at the empty pie plate sitting in the middle of the table.
"I got dared."
"Oh. You were dared. It all becomes so clear now."
"Hey. Don't ya go mockin' a double dog dare. M' honor was at stake."
"Mmm hmm. Well, I don't know about your honor, but you're in sorry shape. Let's go, Trip." Hoshi pulled him to his feet. "Your adoring public is gone. Even your partner in crime has left. How did this thing start anyway?"
"Archer said somethin' 'bout an Apple pie bein' gone in less than a minute. Gawd I'm stuffed. Couldn't eat another bite."
"Boys. I'll never understand them." Hoshi helped Trip walk down the corridor and into the turbo lift. She watched as he leaned against the wall, eyes closed. "So you decided to see if you could finish a Pecan pie in less than five?"
"I was State Fair Pie Eatin' Champion, 2134 – 2137."
"That was fourteen years ago!" Sighing, Hoshi led Trip out of the lift to his cabin. "Sit."
"Darlin', Ah can't."
"Hold on to me, then." Hoshi got Trip's boots off, then stripped him down to his boxers. Trying not to bend at the waist, Trip laid down.
"Ohhh Gawd." Trip sprawled face up on his bunk, one arm and leg hanging off. The normally flat planes of his belly were distended by the pie.
Hiding a smile, Hoshi shook her head. "I sometime wonder what I see in you."
Trip cracked an eye, looking at her. "Ah may not be th' champion anymore, darlin', but I gave that sommicth a run for his money."
"Trip!! It was Porthos!!"
