It was day 3 and as usual, right before Jim's shift started that morning, he decided to visit Bones in sickbay for his next plan in action. He didn't find Nurse Chapel in sickbay and he found Bones sitting in front of his computer console and staring at a PADD as he read.

Jim smiled as he figured he'll scare Bones right behind him. However, he was stopped as Bones said, "I know your there."

"How'd you know that it was me?" Jim asked surprised.

Bones rolled his eyes as he turned to face him. "I could see you in the mirror image of the computer console," he said as he eyed the gift that Jim was holding. "Is that for Spock?" He asked.

"Yup, so whatever you're doing, stop and deliver this to him," he said.

"First of all, what is it?" Bones asked as he eyed the box carefully.

"Nothing too special," Jim said with a shrug, "it's a box of chocolates," he said.

Bones quickly looked up at him. "Are you mad?" He hissed as Jim looked at him surprised, "you know what chocolates do do Vulcan's?" He asked.

"Are you telling me that it's a bad gift?" Jim asked as he stared down at the gift he was holding.

"Good god, man! You know about alcoholic drinks, right?" Bones asked as he got a glare from Jim, "Like those, chocolates are like alcoholic drinks to Vulcan's. Vulcan's could get wasted by just eating one," he said.

"I have no idea," Jim said as he now has a glint in his eyes, "thanks for telling me. Now, give this to him," he said.

"Oh, not this time, Jim! I do not want to get my ass kicked by that pointy-eared bastard!" Bones exclaimed.

"C'mon Bones! Can't you just do this for me?" Jim asked.

"I'm already doing you two favors, Jim! What more do you want?" Bones asked with a scowl.

"I'll do it," a voice said as the voice startled the two men.

"Christine, we didn't saw you coming in," Bones said.

"You two were talking so you didn't saw me coming in and standing behind Jim," she said with a smile. "Well, since I was late for my shift, I could do this as a favor for Jim," she said.

"Thanks Christine! I'm not too sure if Spock is on the bridge though," Jim replied.

"Computer, locate First Officer Spock," Bones said.

"First Officer Spock is currently in turbolift 4 en route to the bridge," the computer said.

"I'll go follow him then," Christine said as she began to leave sickbay with the box in her hand.

"Wait, Christine! I better go with you," Bones said.

"If you're going with me, then why am I going?" Christine asked.

"This way, Spock wouldn't hit a woman if he got that gift from a woman," Bones explained.

"Thanks for caring for me, McCoy," Christine said with a scowl as she usually says his last name if she was upset.

"You stay here until your shift starts and you should come to the bridge no more then five minutes late," Bones replied.

"I'll hold you onto that, Bones," Jim said as he watched the two of them leave sickbay.

(Bridge)

"I am curious on why two people who works in the medical field must deliver a package for me in the bridge while it can be delivered during my own free time?" Spock asked as he looked between Bones and Christine.

"Well, y'see..." Bones began as he was nervous as hell.

Spock raised his eyebrow, "You're afraid of whatever gift this may be, I may 'jump' on you," he said.

"I didn't want Christine hurt so I had to come here!" Bones explained.

"Curious," Spock muttered, "you should have delivered it yourself so that Nurse Chapel wouldn't be wasting her time here and actually be working back in sickbay," he said as he made Bones turned red in the face.

"Don't be so modest, Spock," Uhura said with a smile as the group turned to look at her. "You're happy that they're here to deliver a gift to you," she said with a smile.

Ever since Spock had opened the Promise Ring box, Spock had been wearing the ring ever since and never took it off. Spock did not show it, but he was gratitude towards Chapel and Bones as he said his thanks and took the gift from them as he opened it.

"Oh how sweet! Chocolate hearts," Uhura said.

"Uhura, have you forgotten on what chocolate does to a Vulcan?" Spock asked as he looked at her.

Uhura frowned but then gasped as she looked at Bones and Chapel at the moment. "Does his secret admirer know the effect of it?" She asked.

"He does now," Bones muttered as Uhura didn't heard him but Spock did.

The turbo lift opened and everyone looked in seeing Jim coming out from it. "Hey, is something the matter?" Jim asked as he eyed everyone on the bridge who was staring back at him.

"It's nothing captain. Just let me get this out off your way and I'll be back for my shift," Spock said and he got his package of chocolates and left the bridge.

"Did he do anything violent?" Jim asked worriedly.

"No need to concern yourself, Jim," Bones said with a smile as he turned, "Chekov, I could really use your help in the mess hall," he said.

"Aye, Aye," Chekov said with a smile as he bid good-bye to Sulu before leaving with Bones to the mess hall so that the two could finish their decorating since the party is less than two days away.
