Yea, indeed, the last chapter.
Back on the ship Spock is working on the transporters, trying to bring the Captain back in one piece. He fails. Miffed, he twitches an eyebrow. Scotty smirks. Spock fails again. Scotty snorts, trying to cover up his laughter.
"Hmph. Reset." This time, just to show that he could have done it all along, Spock transports the Captain in with his arm down and his communicator back in its holder.
Scotty mutters something about "Captain's Pet" and sulks in the corner.
The Good Doctor grumbles about transporters in general before calling Spock a pointy-eared show-off, then remembering that the music is happy so he should be smiling.
Kirk speaks, using his relieved, after-mission voice. "Uhura, tell the ship that we'll be at their damned rendezvous. Oh, and Garrovick, meet me in my quarters when you've cleaned up. I uh, want to talk to you about your father. There are several... 'tall stories' I think you'd like to hear."(1) Kirk ogles him, smiling.
Garrovick grins, knowing a chance for promotion is right around the corner. "Thank you Sir, I would." (1)
Scotty, Spock and McCoy pout and head off to the bridge together to play strip poker.
The end.

A/N-- Thanks to those of you who reviewed, this was fun.. look for me again sometime soon (probably starting in the Yu-Gi-Oh section as well, thanks to my brother)... This was way too short, but one of the movies would be great fun to parody, I swear these things write themselves.. Also, those of you who haven't read 'The Nitpickers Guide for Classic Trekkers', by Phil Farrand, shame on you! go read it. now!
Allyp
p.s. a word on my name, for those curious...My Dad and I were discussing the Improbabilities of Star Trek one day, and he suggested that the characters (or the ship herself) were'allergic to paradox' therefore it didn't have any affect on them, despite time travel, different universes, etc... Me being who I am, I wrote it down at once and decided that since I had been writing so much Star Trek, that should be my pen name...besides, Evil Laughter was already taken :(
What Vast unknowns will we encounter next week? Who knows!
