I Can't Believe You Shot Me!
a Star Trek: Enterprise

Summary:
A little conversation after "North Star."
Author's note: I can't believe no one else wrote something
about Malcolm shooting T'Pol -- or if anyone did I haven't found
it and I'm sure it's far better than this.

"Hey, Malcolm. I didn't mean to startle you. I'm just here to fix that panel you called about."
"What? Oh, right...the panel. It's right over here."
"I haven't seen you the past couple days."
"Yes, well, I've been quite busy here...in the armory."
"I haven't even seen you in the cafeteria. You in hiding?"
"Is it that obvious?"
"You're the security officer...who're you hidin' from?"
"If you must know...I thought it best if I avoid the Sub-Commander for the next few days."
"T'Pol? Why?"
"After the incident in the Old West, I could understand if she'd be a bit miffed."
"Y'think she's gonna be upset about you shootin' her?"
"Could you blame her?"
"No. But you know T'Pol. She'd more likely praise you for using logic over feelings."
"But I shot her."
"And saved her from that brute who was going to do the same, only with a bullet instead of a phase pistol set on stun. The mild headache she woke up with is nothin' compared to not wakin' up at all."
"You do know her better than anyone, Commander. If you don't think she's holding a grudge..."
"Oh I didn't say anything 'bout not holdin' a grudge. You're probably smart to stay in hidin' a couple more days."
"But you just said..."
"I know what I said...but you have t'admit. T'Pol acts a little more Human everyday. Give her a chance and she may have to retaliate."

A little awkward with nothing but dialog? Sorry, 'bout that. It's
Trip and Malcolm in case you couldn't tell. I have no idea what
T'Pol would do in retaliation for Malcolm shooting her -- but
I'm sure it would be more clever than anything I could come up
with.
