Spock hurried through the twisting halls and soon found himself on the Bridge. The Captain and the rest of the Bridge crew were there, all of them looking very worried.

The Captain looked at Spock as he walked into the Bridge, and in one word summed up the trouble.

Romulans. Spock almost shivered, but luckily did not. The Romulans were living proof of what the Vulcans had been before Surak, and personally Spock did not like them. He sometimes wondered what would happen if the Vulcans went back to being what they had been before, and had come to the conclusion that if they did this, the Federation would be in great danger. It was unlucky for Starfleet that the Romulans even existed.

I'm getting a message,Lieutenant Uhura said, looking nervously at the Captain.

On screen, Captain Kirk said, gripping the sides of his chair so hard that Spock thought, had it been him in that chair, it would have fallen apart by then. Of course, the Captain did not posses the strength of a Vulcan, so the chair did not fall apart.

The screen flashed, and then a picture of a young Romulan man filled the screen.

This is Captain James T. Kirk of the Starship Enter-the Captain began, but was cut off by the Romulan, who was obviously annoyed by the captain's speech. Spock looked at the Romulan closer, and saw that the annoyance was perhaps mixed with anger.

Enough of your pointless talk, hevam. The Romulan male said, sneering. We have things to discuss.

What things?the Captain asked, remaining slightly calm but with a touch of anger in his voice,We don't have anything to discuss. We have broken no rules and there is no reason why we would have to discuss anything.

Spock raised an eyebrow at the stressed word. The Captain was implying that the word discuss meant something other than its obvious meaning. He remembered that the word discuss' had a slightly different meaning a few centuries ago on Earth... He believed that it sometimes meant fight'.

The Romulan began to laugh. Are you trying to fool me? Make me think that you would never break one of your precious rules? What do you have to say to that?

There was silence as everyone tried to figure out what the Romulan meant. He laughed again, harshly. Let me tell you what you have done. Neutral Zone ring a bell?

There was another shocked silence.

Chekov? Sulu? The Captain asked,What is our location?

Ve are a little past the Romulan Neutral Zone, sir. Ensign Chekov responded.

The Captain, looking bewildered, was about to say something when all of a sudden Engineer Scott came running out of the turbolift.

This meatloaf tastes li' Colcannon! He shouted, grinning,Do ye know what tha' means?

Everyone on the bridge stared at him. The Captain said seriously,Normally I would love to hear about how meatloaf tastes like... Colanan ..... Colcalan ...... Conacon...

Colcannon, Captain,Spock supplied,It is a Scottish and Irish dish made mostly from potatoes and cabbage, which are-

The Romulan cleared his throat. Captain Kirk,He said with disdain,I believe we were discussing how your ship crossed the Neutral Zone.

The Captain nodded, and turned to Ensign Chekov and Ensign Sulu. Chekov! Sulu! I thought you two were navigating!

Well, sir, we were, but when Dr. McCoy came in this morning, we all left to go decorate for the party. We left the computers to navigate.

Why would the computers lead us to the Romulan Neutral Zone?The Captain asked, sinking down into his chair. A computer malfunction? But they were all working fine this morning....

Spock walked over to the Captain. I believe, Captain, that this was my doing.

Everyone turned to stare at him, and Spock felt strangely subconscious.

I always knew he was a Romulan spy. "Yeoman Rand said lightly, shaking her head, as she set down the Captain's cup of coffee.

The words swirled in his head and Spock felt an uncontrollable surge of hatred. Ever since he had joined Starfleet, people had been joking that he was a spy for the Romulans. Sometimes this led to major discrimination on his part, which Spock thought was highly illogical. He was not Romulan, and any well-educated member of Starfleet should have been able to tell that. Also, it was not logical that they think he was a Vulcan spy for the Romulans, as the two races had always been on bad terms.

Actually, Yeoman, while I was resetting the Replicator's code, I also temporarily changed our course. There was no other solution, and had I not done this we would have no food right now.

Even if it is Meatloaf tha' tastes like Colcannon. The Engineer put in.

This explanation did not stop the crew members suspicious stares.

Tell me, Spock, the Captain said,Why the Romulan Neutral Zone? Couldn't you have had the Enterprise go to... Kalri IV again?

Spock raised an eyebrow. It seemed that even his captain was suspicious of him now. Captain, I had no control of where the computers sent the ship. It is possible to do that, but it would have taken 46.793 days, and judging that it takes humans a mere 9.112 days to starve, I thought that we would not have that much time.

The Captain sighed. Very well, Spock. He turned back to the Romulan, who was humming impatiently. It seems that we are in the Neutral Zone.

The Romulan grinned. You are all my prisoners. Come with me.

A/N - Someone reviewed! Thank you!! Now all of you reading this don't have to put up with the mindless crazy things I usually put here.

Grace - Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! Ok, enough thank yous there. I'm glad that you think it's funny! =) Keep reading, please! =)


All right, all right... I lied... I'm still going to talk about random things here. Sorry about any spelling mistakes that split up words (ex: turbo lift, star fleet, etc.). My spell check automatically does that... it even changed my name to Task Emus when I wasn't looking. Luckily I caught that one. Also, I am completely mystified as to how the Spell Check knew the word hevam, and all of the captain's mispronunciations of Colcannon....=/... OK, well, please review everyone! I love all of your positive comments! =)
