Spock awoke alone and disorientated. Groggily, he attempted to open his dark eyes but everything seemed to be a haze and a whirl of intense colour.

Trying to move, Spock realised his hands were restrained above his head, upon taking a quick glance and with what little light he had, he saw this was due to a pair of handcuffs and then became aware of his lack of clothing.

"Fascinating...this is most illogical and inconvenient." He muttered as he rubbed the handcuffs against the metal tubing. Inhaling, he noted a scent he was familiar with but could not quite pinpoint the source of familiarity.

Feeling drowsy and being acutely aware of the dull headache which was on course to become a Vulcan migraine, Spock drifted back into his unconscious delirium.

Meanwhile......

"How did Uhura take the news?" Mc Coy asked as he searched the apartment for further clues.

"As expected really...she seemed quite emotional. You remember that security officer who, I must admit nearly put me in a coma before I signed up for Starfleet?"

"Yeah I remember you mentioning him briefly." McCoy nodded.

"Well, I somehow have the feeling that he'll be making an appearance if we don't get Spock back to the Enterprise soon." Kirk sighed rolling his eyes.

Hearing a slight thud, the trio of officers suddenly became aware that they may not be alone.

"Shh...what was that?" Scotty asked picking up the nearest lamp stand.

"I don't know Scotty, since when did I have x-ray vision?" Kirk replied, arming himself with a colander.

Thud!

"It's coming from that cupboard" McCoy whispered pointing towards the corner of the lounge.

Quietly padding across the room, Kirk gingerly held the cupboard handle. "Ready? One, Two......."

"Sulu!" Scotty exclaimed as the door opened.

"Huh?" Kirk asked, unable to see around the door.

"Scotty, McCoy is that you?" Sulu groaned as he attempted to stand up, blindfolded.

"What are you doing in there?" Scotty asked as he gave the cupboard a quick look-over, while removing Sulu's blindfold.

Meanwhile....aboard the Enterprise.

Uhura exited the shuttle, dragging her suitcases behind her.

"Gaila, I'm not too sure if Spock would like that baby doll top you made me buy." She sighed, her long ponytail swaying as the two companions headed for the nearest turbo lift.

"Don't be daft honey. I'm sure he'll love it in his own Vulcan way, he is half human after all" Gaila smirked. "You'll have him eating out of your hands."

"That would be amusing Gaila, but unlikely."

"Anyways, I know Jim will love my mine." Gaila announced matter-of-factly.

"I don't doubt it Gaila.I should imagine any revealing item of clothing on a woman would have Jim drooling at an instant."

"Do Vulcan's blush?" Gaila asked inquisitively as she gave her newly manicured nails a glance of approval.

For the first time since her relationship with Spock began, she honestly could not recall ever seeing him blush.

"Erm...I'm not too sure to be honest, you really have me stumped on that one." Uhura replied.

"I suppose there's always a first time for everything."

"I want you to try the bridesmaid outfit on just once more before the wedding." Uhura smiled as they entered her quarters. She appreciated the low drumming noise of the engines several decks down, she found it comforting.

"Can I have a sit down first, my feet are killing me."

"I'm not surprised as you've been wearing those stilettos everywhere."

"Jim says they accentuate my legs." Gaila laughed as she removed her shoes and stretched her legs out on the bed.

Uhura unpacked her suitcase, removed her current t-shirt and tried the baby doll top on once more before admiring herself in the tall mirror that was attached to one of her wardrobes doors.

"It's very pretty" Uhura admitted as she adjusted the straps.

"I told you so! You have to start trusting me about these matters, Uhura." Gaila replied.

As Uhura opened her wardrobe door, she let out an almighty scream as before her stood a semi naked, yet familiar Vulcan male amongst her clothing....
