Little Wild Child
Chapter Five Buster's Back
Little Gudrun woke up only to see McCoy sitting at his desk sleeping. She rubbed her eyes, and got up. She went to McCoy and pushed him a bit. He woke up and looked around quickly.
"Well, you're up." McCoy said yawning a bit. She just watched him as he stood up and straightened out his shirt. He looked down at her "Come on." Was all he said as he walked out with her following behind.
He led her to rec. room three. Kirk, Spock, and Scotty were sitting at a table, eating, and talking. McCoy nodded to them, they nodded back as he headed to a replicator. He got himself, and Gudrun, the child, something and headed to the table.
He and Gudrun sat down, she was a little less that\n three feet tall, and so he had a booster chair on the seat.
"Babysitting, Bones" Kirk asked sarcastically, but in good humor. "Actually, we just got out of a nap." Bones responded, smiling a bit, then started eating a bit. "She's pretty unique, huh?" Kirk asked. The other three nodded and continued eating.
Gudrun watched them eat, noting how they used their eating utensils. They were alien to her, so she studied them, and tried to do the same.
She clutched the fork, and stabbed her steak. Yes, Bones had said right before he got her food "Might as well get her eatin' healthy early." She tried to bit it, but it fell off before she could get to it. S
He attempted to do the same as them repeatedly, but it just wasn't working. She finally picked it up and bit into it, chewed and swallowed. She continued like this even when the four men watched her.
"Ah think she was 'ungry." Scotty said, eyes slightly wide, while he was frozen watching the child shred the steak. Bones chuckled a bit with Kirk, Spock just watched fascinated.
She looked up at them and saw Spock drinking from a cup. She looked at her own, and grabbed it. She imitated Spock, and everyone else's, method of drinking.
She had tilted the bottom upward, her mouth on the rim of the cup. She drank her milk, and set the empty glass down. She let out a small burp, and McCoy looked at her. "Say 'Excuse me', Gudrun." McCoy told her. "Scuse me, Gudrun" she said. He smiled "Good enough." And went back to eating.
The comm. link made its beep, and called Captain Kirk. Kirk stood up, and walked to the comm. And pressed it's button. "Kirk here." "Captain, Kayla is back on board from Starbase 4. She's in music rec. 2." Uhura told him. Kirk smiled a bit, and said "Thank you lieutenant, Kirk out." He took his finger off the button and headed back to the table, sitting with a smile, looking at the three other men.
McCoy looked at him with a tilt to his head. "What is it, Jim?" he asked as Kirk got ready to get up, and take his tray. "Buster's Back." Was all he had to say, and the other three got up, and so did Gudrun, but McCoy took her tray.
McCoy and Scotty also had smug smiles as they all headed to music rec. 2, with Gudrun following behind. Once inside MR2, they were in the middle of a room full of music recording equipment, they were looking through a glass window, and there sat a girl, in an Enterprise uniform, with a pair of head phones on playing a guitar, and singing some cool little song.
They watched, Gudrun was frozen listening to the music. That too was alien to her. She tugged on McCoy's shirt, and he looked down at her, and picked her up, sitting her on his lap as he sat down.
"Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Look at that sky, life's begun
Nights are warm and the days are young
Come get up my baby
There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Last night they loved you, opening doors and pulling some strings, angel
Come get up my baby
In walked luck and you looked in time
Never look back, walk tall, act fine
Come get up my baby
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years
Gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Some of these days, and it won't be long
Gonna drive back down where you once belonged
In the back of a dream car twenty foot long
Don't cry my sweet, don't break my heart
Doing all right, but you gotta get smart
Wish upon, wish upon, day upon day, I believe oh lord
I believe all the way
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
There's my baby, lost that's all
Once I'm begging you save her little soul
Golden years, gold whop whop whop
Come get up my baby
Don't let me hear you say life's taking you nowhere, angel
Come get up my baby
Run for the shadows, run for the shadows
Run for the shadows in these golden years
I'll stick with you baby for a thousand years
Nothing's gonna touch you in these golden years
Gold
Golden years, gold whop whop whop (11x)" Kirk and the others clapped. Buster looked at them, seeing them through the glass, she smiled, and put the guitar own, and ran into the room they were in, and hugged them. She had just finished her remake of David Bowie's "Golden Years". "Glad your back, we were getting' bored without you around, cadet." Kirk said. "But, we've kept busy." McCoy said and looked at Gudrun, who was playing with some sort of keyboard. Buster raised a brow at the toddler. Then looked to Kirk. "I'll explain later." Kirk said, as he leaned back. "What's her name?" Buster asked. "According to her, its Gudrun." Spock said. "Yeah, and she eats a lot." Scotty added. Buster looked at them oddly as all but Spock smiled at her like they were up to something. "I know who's got babysitting duty." Kirk said. Buster just shook her head, and looked back at him. "What'll my hours be?"
