Author's Note: Hey, hey, hey, I'm back! If I never have to write about a word beginning with D again, it will be too soon. Thank you to I'llLightUpTheSky4You for being my temporary beta. I am forever grateful for your willingness to read through my stuff over, and over and over again. This also means that any mistakes you find are hers! Just joking, but now that this author's note is getting so long, I will bid you adieu and leave you with this drabble.
Chapter Four: D
Doctor, Doctor
It started off as a normal day on the Enterprise; Spock was doing some sort of logical experiment in the labs, Uhura was translating Klingon poetry, Sulu was fencing, Chekov was layin in courses, Scotty was fixing the engines, and Jim was doing his best to not die of boredom on the bridge. Everything was normal, at least, that was until Bones began talking over the communicator to the bridge.
"Jim! You better get your ass down to sickbay or I will hypo you so hard, you won't wake up until the end of this mission." McCoy's southern drawl was thicker than ever, which made Kirk nervous; Bones drawl was only that thick when he was seriously pissed. Suddenly, Jim noticed a sound in the background.
"What the hell is that?" He asked.
Doctor, Doctor, gimme the news, I gotta,
Bad case of loving you.
No pill is gonna cure my ill, I gotta,
Bad case of loving you.
"Uh," was all the came out of Jim's mouth.
"Yeah, and I can't freaking turn it off. So, since I know you did it, get down here and fix it!" Jim coked his head sideways and listened a little longer.
"I've never heard that song," he said, turning towards a giggling Uhura. "Do you know it?"
"It's 'Bad Case of Lovin' You' by Robert Palmer, from 1979," she said between bursts of laughter.
"Never heard of it, Bones. Why don't you ask Scotty or Gaila to fix it?" The bridge crew heard grumbling that sounded suspiciously like 'ducking immature, reckless bass hat captains'. Jim smiled when Bones ended the communication and began laughing.
"Thank you, Uhura, I could've never found that song without your help." Nyota laughed and nodded, turning back to her station; Spock raised an eyebrow and looked questioningly at Jim. Kirk just shrugged and picked up his PADD. No one questioned why it randomly began playing 'I Feel Pretty', from West Side Story.
