We sat under the canopy of a tree. The setting was a beautiful planet known as loonara5, there were no emergencies, no aliens, everything was rather peaceful, which is the way it should be, for a change. I was secretly proud for this. Now wait, who is this talking? I hear you asking? Why it's your old grouchy southern doctor of course, Leonard McCoy, or as I let the kid sitting on my right, the one with the electric blue eyes, and man sitting on my left, yeah, the one with the orange hair call me, Bones. Ah, where was I? Oh yes, we were sittin' under the canopy. It was a starry night.

"Doctor McCoy, tonight is a good night for a rather fascinating activity," Spock said. I nodded. "Ya know, Spock, there's only 1 activity that can go on a night like this. The orange haired man smiled, his scar raising the slightest inch. "Stargazing." I smiled. "You're right, Larten." "Bones, I do remind you we need to get back to the enterprise later," Jim said. "Ah, forget about the ship, Jim, we'll get back when we get back." Besides, kid, we don't get to look upon the stars from planet side much anyway. Larten nodded, reaching a hand around me to squeeze against Jim's shoulder. I just hope he knows what he's doing, sometimes the vampire doesn't know his strength, but that's what I'm fore. Jim relaxed into me, and Larten looped his arm back and around to himself. We began to gaze at the stars, not saying a word for a few minutes.

Jim smiled as he turned to face me. "Bones, you remember what a night like this was like?" I smiled. "I believe I do, a clear night like this, we were on monaron-IV.

Monaron-IV was a rather weird planet in that the people were a bit bazaar. The people seemed to wear a silvery armor, something tells me our necromancer contact would've fit right in there. The planet's constellations were upside down in that the stars were down, and the environment was angled upward, kind a weird, but we've seen more than our fair share of impossibilities.

"Bones, you are thinking too much", said Larten. "Well, I didn't know you were the only one whom can be the king of ponderisation, excuse me, Mister Crepsley!" "Nor you the king of sarcasm," Larten shot back. "You two, that's enough, now," Jim said. "Indeed, this is illogical topic," said Spock. Trust the hobgoblin to side with the captain, but even I wouldn't rail against that. Larten nodded at that thought. "Nor would I, Bones." We began to look upon the stars again, not realizing we'd not get the chance to do so for a long time. I watched as Jim began to tire, before slumping on my shoulder, at seeing him sleeping, Spock and the vampire smiled, than shared a guarded look. In that moment, I knew that if anything were to happen, it would work out. For as long as there was one of those 2 keeping it together. Blood, bone, and logic rolled up into one corner, a corner with blue edges, but it was ours, and we'd not have it be different, not for anything.

"Doctor McCoy," said Spock. I looked up, to find a little piece of home in the sky. "The northern star," said Larten wistfully. It went by to show the constellation of a zodiac underneath it. "Soon, it will be the year of the monkey," said Spock. "What do you think your zodiac sign would be Larten," I asked. "You know, Bones, I have never thought about that concept." The Vulcan smiled. "I take it that such things were not thought of in his time, stars were stars, nothing more," said Spock. I nodded. "So you never knew what your sign was." "Yes," he answered. "Cm'on everyone, let's head back to the starbase." "Agreed, Bones," said Larten, scooping a tired Jim into his arms. Spock looked at the vampire as if to say, "You sure you do not require help?" Larten returned the look with a reassuring smile. "I will be fine, Spock." "As you were then, Mister Crepsley." From there, we left the canopy, somehow knowing this would be our last time to do this kind of thing for a while. I stopped suddenly. "I have a better idea." "And what would that be, doctor," Spock asked. "You'll see."

We had walked a while, until I pointed out the best spot. I signaled to the vampire and Vulcan this would be the best place. We set out the bedding, snacks, and other things for the next morning. "I took the spot in-between Larten and Spock, the Vulcan setting Jim between us. Larten was on the right of Jim and Spock, I was between them, Spock being on the left, followed by Jim, and finally myself and Larten. It was good we had planned that, for it was getting cold.

"So what next, Doctor McCoy," asked Spock. "Relaxation." I answered as we began to close our eyes. Before I knew what was happening, Spock went into meditation, Larten was out, and so was I. From the looks on the Vulcan and vampires faces, they wouldn't forget this, and I'm sure I won't either.

*The next drabble will be answering some questions of how the golden sword guardians met. I'm sorry, but I feel this must be done here sense my other works such as kingdom of darkness is going to disappear. I hope you don't mind reading chapter 9, and again I'm sorry if this will get confusing, if anyone doesn't want me to do this, I'll just put it as its own 1shot. Let me know what you think of all these chapters as a hole, and yay, welcome to the party, those of you whom have followed and favorited. I kind of want your thoughts on every chapter thus far so I can see rather I should continue or not. Maybe you want something brought back, if that be the case, just let me know in the reviews. Also on the goalball chapter I promised, I moved it into game nights because I didn't think it would be good here. Alright, hope you enjoyed this drabble, and yeah, this A/N was a long one.
