A/N – Sorry for any confusion...I added a different chapter 6 yesterday but I wasn't happy with it so I thought I'd have another go. x

"Are you sure he's well enough to be moved?" Gaila asked as they attempted to guide Spock towards his quarters.
"I am fully aware of my predicament Cadet; I assure you that I am quite able to walk myself to our destination." Spock responded moving away from Gaila's gentle assuring hand.
"Oh come on Spock, she was just trying to be nice." Uhura whispered as she drew by his side.
"I apologize Gaila; I did not mean to cause offense."
"None taken, Commander." The Orion smiled as they entered Spock's quarters. "I should imagine it won't take Chekov too long to fix that pole."
Uhura smiled, considering her plan once again.
"Is something amusing Uhura?" Spock asked as he noted the smile on her face.
"I was just thinking how terribly worried they will be when they check the wardrobe and find that you're not there" she replied.
Spock raised his eyebrow in response but refrained from commenting.
"Computer - have Captain Kirk and Doctor McCoy boarded the Enterprise yet?" Uhura asked.
Affirmative. The computer responded instantly.
"Brilliant." Uhura smiled as she sat and considered sweet revenge.
"Revenge is a dish best served cold, so I have heard." Spock recited as he took a seat next to his lover.
"Come on Uhura...don't keep me in the dark…what's the plan?" Gaila asked excitedly.
"Lets just say that Kirk will be squirming for quite some time by the time I'm finished with him." Uhura smiled deviously.
Meanwhile....
As the four Starfleet Officers made their way towards Uhura's quarters, every step seemed to last a lifetime.
"Jim, I don't feel comfortable doing this." McCoy admitted."How do you plan to get in there anyhow?"
"Computer override of course, I am the Captain after all." Jim grinned mischievously.
"Well I'm going to stay right here." McCoy replied as they halted outside their chosen destination. "I'm a Doctor not an Intruder!"
"Oh come on Bones – I need your help"
"Nope – I'm staying put." The Doctor insisted as he stood with his arms crossed.
"Suit yourself – keep watch and let me know if she's in the vicinity." Kirk called out as he quietly padded across the living room to the wardrobe in the adjacent room. Carefully he opened the doors. The whole wardrobe was stocked full of an array of brightly coloured clothing and accessories....but no sign of Spock.
"Shoot!" Kirk whispered under his breath, frantically searching the wardrobe once again before moving onto the next one.
How much clothes does a girl need, jeez! God-damn it where the hell is he? Kirk thought as he was faced with the reality that Spock was nowhere to be seen.
Montgomery Scott stood leaning on the corridor wall with his companions when he heard Uhuru's distinctive laughter flow through the very same corridor.
"Bones – you better get Jim out of there – I can hear Uhura coming." Scott spoke frantically.
"Jim, what in damnation are you doing? Have you lost your mind? Uhura's on her way." McCoy yelled thorough the door into the darkness.
"Stall her!" Kirk responded.
"Too late!" McCoy replied before turning to find Uhura standing opposite him.
"Well hello boys" she greeted them pleasantly."Too late for what?"
McCoy pursed his lips before responding. "Urm...I've got heartburn? I was just catching my breath after our ...um ...jog around the corridors."
"You jog?" Gaila quizzed, surprised.
"Yes....it's very exhilarating actually!" Sulu replied, mockingly stretching his legs, trying to stall the female companions for a while longer.
"Come on Laddies –we've got another two corridors to do." Scotty called out as he jogged away.
"Well, it's been nice chatting to you ladies, but we really must get going." McCoy smiled sheepishly as they disappeared around the corner.
Out of sight and hearing range, the three officers halted.
"We can't just leave him in there...she'll skin him alive." Sulu spoke.
"I get the feeling that Uhura's closet is going to be pretty full tonight . If Kirks got an ounce of sense left he'd hide." McCoy responded.
Meanwhile....Inside Uhura's Quarters....
Kirk felt claustrophobic, the wardrobe gave little room as each and every corner was rammed with clothing – uniforms, dresses and shoes for every occasion. Small beads of sweat gathered on his brow and for one small moment, he felt as if he would pass out.
Luckily the doors would not close full y due to the clothing and this allowed him enough oxygen to breathe and also the opportunity to see what was happening around him without been seen himself.
"I'm going to grab a quick shower, make yourself at home." Uhura spoke from across the room. "I just need to get my.........arghhhhh!" she screamed as she opened the wardrobe door.
Upon hearing her friend's heart stopping scream Gaila rushed into the bedroom to find Jim Kirk squeezed uncomfortably amongst the clothing hanging from the rails.
"Hello Ladies.....fancy seeing you here." Kirk smiled sheepishly.
"What the hell are you doing in my wardrobe? Have you been watching me undress?" Uhura yelled, clearly not amused.
"I can explain, I promise." Kirk sighed..
TBC – What will be Kirk's explanation? You'll have to wait until the next chapter folks...if you have any suggestions..please don't hesitate to submit your ideas x
