A/N: Thanks for all the reviews so far...i hope this is longer than the last chapter and I hope it's even funnier...happy reading!
The turbo lift stopped on Trip's deck. He was going to his quarters when I ran into him. At that moment he got distracted and I felt his hold on me loosen. I took my chance. I skillfully jumped out of his arms and landed safely on the floor plating. What skill eh?
I fled down the hall Tucker shouting after me. It also happened to be the deck that T'Pol's quarters were. Though at the time I didn't look which doors I was running through. When I smelt fumes I froze. Panic. All I could think about was fire in the room. I barked in fear.
A figure arose from the side of the wall. I recognized her as T'Pol. The Vulcan Jon's always muttering about. How on earth could he stand this woman I don't know. How can one show no emotion is beyond my doggie ears.
"What are you doing here?" She asked in the same usual tone. She stood over me for a while, obviously wondering what to do with me.
I wondered what she was thinking but while I was wondering, I noticed that the fumes didn't alarm me any more. I cocked my head to one side and barked.
I swear T'Pol jumped a meter high when I barked. She sat down slowly and I too plonked my fat behind on the floor. It was cold and unwelcoming as you could get.
I saw T'Pol stand up again and went over the wall.
"T'Pol to Lieutenant Reed"
A rather sleepy and somewhat annoyed Reed answered.
"Reed here"
I knew he was trying to stifle a yawn. Humans are that predictable. Well, come now. I have been with one since only god knows how long
"Could you come to my quarters?" T'Pol stated whilst casting one eye on me like I did something wrong.
"On my way" Reed left off and we waited for the dreaded arrival.
T'Pol sneezed suddenly which made me jump. I barked, making her jump. She isn't very good with keeping dogs I see. The door chime goes and she went to answer whilst keeping a fair distance away from me.
"What's the problem Commander?" I heard a Reed say
"The Captain's dog is in my quarters…it would be prudent you remove him if you could"
"Sure" I rolled my eyes. Not him again. I turned round and saw T'Pol come back into the room, evading me again. Then Reed came in and hoisted me onto his shoulder.
"Thank you Lieutenant"
"Anytime" Reed left and we went through the corridors. Where are we going now I wondered.
"Bout time you got back to your own quarters I think"
Great. Fat plonker, I don't want to go there! Jon snores! I barked in protest.
Still he took me to Jon's quarters. He rang the chime and loud cursing could be heard from the inside. The door opened to reveal a very annoyed Captain.
"Just came by to return Porthos Sir" Reed told him.
"I thought I heard the door open. Thanks Malcolm. How long was he running around for?"
Reed handed me back to Jon.
"Well, Commander Tucker came to my quarters with him then around half an hour later T'Pol called to ask if I could remove him from her quarters"
Jon laughed, I could feel the vibration through his tall body.
"Well, dunno about you Malcolm but I feel like I'm gonna fall asleep right on ya. So I'll say goodnight and see you in the morning"
I managed to glimpse Malcolm smiling. He hardly ever smiles!
"Yes Sir, good night"
I saw Malcolm go to leave but felt Jon moving at the same time
"And Malcolm?" Reed turned round "You might want to change. You got dog hairs all over ya, sorry about the inconvenience Malcolm"
"Don't worry Sir…I needed the exercise anyway" Reed smiled and continued down the corridor
"Well, Porthos. Time for us both to hit the sack" He placed me on my bed and he went over to the wall to get something, but not before he crashed into the chair I had pushed towards the door earlier.
I laughed and rested my head on my short legs. Good night Jon.
A/N: Finito!
I'm afraid that's the last chapter ever! If you think i should start a sequel...do say so and i'll see what I can do...but please bear in mind i have two others that need serious sorting...and don't forget to keep reviewing...the purple button is calling you...
