Not Again!

Spock awoke the next morning with the strange tingling sensation at the back of his mind. Contemplating, he thought, "what could that possibly mean?" Without moving from the embrace of his lovers he tried to search his mind for the problem but the tingling was so small that he couldn't pinpoint it's cause. All he could sense for sure was that this tingling had two very distinct points. Spock smiled a little at this, thinking, "it must be the bond strengthening itself, we truly are meant to be.

As he was about to move he realized he was sleeping in-between his bond mates. "I believe I fell asleep near the wall," he thought. "Do humans normally trade places in sleep?" Spock tried to sit up and immediately wished (if Vulcan's were to do such an illogical thing as wish) he hadn't, if he had been Jim some colorful language would have accompanied his next thought, "ah…my theory was a success…in some form…"

Spock called his bond mates through the bond, "Jim…Doctor McCoy…Jim…Doctor…"

Due to years of medical emergencies Bones shot up in bed ready and wide awake to hypo his next victim! Jim, on the other hand, continued to sleep.

"What's wrong?! Who's hurt?! Is it an emergency!?" McCoy yelled.

Spock almost smiled at the Doctor's over reaction.

"That depends on what you mean by emergency Doctor." Spock replied, eyebrow raised. The eyebrow, however, did not have quite the shebang on Jim Kirk's face, on his face it merely looked like a caterpillar changing positions.

Bones rolled his eyes under his hands as he tried to rub the sleepiness out of his face and stretch his back out, still keeping his eyes closed he countered, "Spock I think after this morning you should call me Leonard or Bones, whatever works for you but don't call me Doctor unless we are on duty…My god I must be exhausted! My arms feel like lead bricks."

"That is most likely due to my Vulcan physiologies denser bone and muscle mass," Spock replied drily.

"What the hell does tha-," he stopped, mouth wide. His eyes shot open but he didn't dare turn his head. He froze abruptly remembering what he saw last night. He closed his eyes as if he were in pain and tried to shake away the uneasy if not somewhat annoyed feeling he suddenly had; hoping it wasn't all really real, "So it worked…just not the way we hoped…right?"

"It would appear so Leonard," Spock replied.

Bones smiled, Spock said his name for the first time! He opened his eyes and looked at the man who had spoken, it was Spock's voice alright but Jim's body.

"I guess we should wake Jim, need to make sure he doesn't have another panic attack! Or get pissed at us for 'ditching' him again," Bone's shrugged. "Not that we can go anywhere now since we have to come up with a whole new plan! It's just our luck isn't it Spock?"

"Vulcan's do not believe in luck Doc- Leonard but I am tempted to agree with that statement," Spock said as he gently started to shake Jim's shoulder in an attempt to rouse him.

"Five more minutes…" Jim mumbled in his sleep as he tried to roll to his side. Unsure if it was the sudden need to wake his Captain or the human in him but Spock smirked. It was an evil smirk, and Bones waited in wonder to see what he would do next.

"Captain! Romulans are attacking from the starboard bow!" Spock said loudly, right into his ear.

Jim shot up so fast that Spock and Bones actually jumped. "Shield's up Mister Sulu! Chekov ready torpedoes! Sp– " Orders sprouted from his mouth before he even opened his eyes. However, once they were, Jim stopped and looked around him, both Spock and Bones had that evil smirk on their faces, realizing that he'd been played Jim started to blush, "Hey! Don't Scare Me. LIKE. That?" Jim stopped, blinking rapidly he looked back and forth between his friends then looked down at himself. "What the hell happened!? Why do I look like Bones?! Did we, uh?"

"Yes Jim, our theory technically worked; just not the way we planned. It appears you are now Doctor McCoy, Leonard is now myself and I appear to be you…a most interesting turn of events, do you not agree?" Spock said with that same eagerness Jim had heard him speak of his pet science experiments.

"Well that's one way of putting it Spock. Are you sure this isn't a dream? Cause that one we shared yesterday seemed pretty real to me." He brought his eyebrows together in thought before he tried, "maybe we are still unconscious? Ow! Hey! What the hell was that for Spo- I mean Bones?" Jim was rubbing his arm where McCoy pinched him with a little too much Vulcan strength.

"Well you wanted to make sure you weren't dreaming!" Bones said with an almost maniacal laugh.

"Ya but you didn't have to practically tear a chunk of skin off!" Jim said, giving McCoy one of his own dirty looks.

"Sorry. Guess I don't know my own Vulcan strength!" McCoy said as he shrugged heavy Vulcan shoulders.

Before Jim could come up with another smart ass retort Spock interjected, "Gentlemen I believe we need to re-visit our, I believe you called it a 'pow-wow'? It seems we need to re-acquaint ourselves with our bodies personas if we plan to get thru our next shift without incident."

"Do you ever think of anything besides work Spock? I mean really! We literally have all night since we slept thru 90% of the day. Thankfully we all had excuses for our shifts so we don't have to do anything until morning!" Bones said, he wasn't really in the mood this late in the day to think about work let alone the new mess they found themselves in.

"Um, I have a question." Jim asked rather shyly, his partners stared at him waiting causing Jim to blush again, "Well if your theory worked the first time. Why don't we, ya know, do it again?"

Spock, the now Captain smiled a little at Jim's sudden shyness before he spoke, "I am not opposed to the idea that we engage in intercourse again Jim but I do not believe it will work. However, we must run more blood samples to be sure, but according to my previous findings the protein should now be completely eradicated. If so we will have to find other means of reverting back to our original states."

"Joy. I guess that means another trip to Sickbay and more tests in the Science labs. It really can't wait can it?" Bones grumbled, he was too comfortable to move and really just wanted to lay in bed for the rest of the day with his new found lovers.

"Actually Doc-Leonard, I believe that first Jim should finish his life story since he has not shared. If your 'Disney' idea is to work I assume we must all participate. Second we should work on performing as our bodies personas, it will not be as simple as before due to the fact that Jim has no medical knowledge and you Leonard have very little scientific knowledge, that does not revolve around medicine. Third you are not leaving here until you have mastered what, as you like to say, is proper 'Vulcan stoicism'. Your over expressionism will surely raise suspicions amongst the crew," Spock said in what McCoy would later call a Vulcan pout.

McCoy put his (Spock's) hands up in mock surrender saying, "Alright, I can live with that but what about you Spock? You need to learn how to be Jim!"

Spock did the Vulcan equivalent of a scoff, which was basically just rolling his eyes and shaking his head. In a perfect imitation of his Captain, voice and all, Spock replied, "Yeoman Rand, would you be a dear and fetch me some more coffee?" Spock actually used Jim's lady killer smile and hooded eyes trick in mock flirtation, "Oh and drop that paper work off with Commander Spock, we can work on it later."

Spock smirked at the gawking stares he was receiving from a scandalized looking McCoy and a Vulcan who seemed to be having too hard of a time controlling his laughter. Sounding like himself Spock added, "I have not only been observing the Captain's behavior's but also assisting in his daily work since the moment he became Captain. Why practice what I have already mastered?" Spock was obviously enjoying himself as Jim continued to gape like a fish and Bones managed to fall back laughing hysterically.

"I, I don't really sound like that, um, do I Spock? Bones?" Jim asked finally managing to get a hold of himself.

"Jim I hate to burst your bubble but sometimes I swear you flirt with anything that moves! Spock's interpretation of you was perfect! And of course he knows how to do your job, he wouldn't be the best First Officer in the fleet if he couldn't!" Bones said as he managed to quell his laughter, but completely sobered at the depressed look suddenly marring Jim's face, "Hey, kid, it's alright! We know it's just part of who you are to flirt openly; I know you don't mean anything by it."

Jim cut him off before he could say anything further, "I know you do Bones but maybe if I wasn't such a flirt all the time I would have noticed that my two best friends loved me just as much as I loved them! The only reason I flirt so openly sometimes is just to make you jealous!"

"Jim do not concern yourself with that which we cannot change. It is in the past. We are here now so let us, as you say, make the most of it. If you are ready, now would be a good time to start your story," Spock said on a slightly somber note; Bones and Spock already knew most of Jim's story but it would do them all some good to hear it from the man himself.

"Alright, I'll tell ya, but I'm warning you now it's not pretty," Jim sighed.

Spock mistook Jim's pause as nervousness and tried to encourage him saying, "We will not love you any less Jim."

Jim gave a soft chuckle at Spock's confession. "I know Spock…So, as you know, I was born in the middle of a firefight on the Kelvin. My dad died saving my mom and I as well as the countless others on the ship. My mother, Winona, never got over my father's death and tried to spend all of her time avoiding anything that reminded her of him…that included me and my older brother Sam. She moved us to a little farm town called Riverside Iowa. We moved into our families farm and she soon met a man named Frank, the ass-wipe who would quickly become my stepfather. Sam and I immediately knew that he was bad news but Winona wouldn't hear it. She said we were just 'projecting bad feelings' because we didn't want another man to take our father's place. Which in some ways that was true but she was blind to see how terrible he really was. As soon as they were married and he had officially adopted us she jumped onto the closest Starship and left us to rot with Frank. She came back, maybe, three times a year and only ever for a few days. I learned that I was the spitting image of my dad, still am, and my mother couldn't stand to be around me because of how much I reminded her of him.

"Sam and I quickly learned that Frank hated us even more than we hated him. He beat the shit out of us for just being in his presence! We tried telling Winona about it but she didn't believe it and not that she cared either way but she was always somewhere in space so it's not like she was available to do anything about it. Sam couldn't take the beatings anymore and he ran away when I was nine. I begged him to take me with him, but he said I wasn't old enough and I'd just slow him down. I haven't spoken to him sense, hell as far as I know he could be dead!" Jim paused here, trying not to cry. Spock and McCoy shifted on the bed they were still occupying to sit closer to Jim. After a few deep breaths he continued.

"I was always a wild child but no one seemed to notice that it was really a cry for help. The more trouble I got into the more Winona would have to check on me, but, well, that didn't last very long. When I drove the '66 Corvette off the cliff my mom finally snapped. She came home for a total of two days where she did nothing but bitch me out about being a worthless pain in the ass and bitch Frank out for not stopping me or raising her son better. That's when she sent me to my aunt's, on Tarsus IV. Surprisingly, I was happy there. About a year after I moved there things started to go south." He sighed before he continued, looking at his hands, "I was there for the plague and the mass genocide. I blocked out most of it but I can still remember the smell of burning and dying flesh all around me, the screams of thousands of people being slaughtered, the pain of slowly starving to death while running for your life hiding in the forest trying to protect the other kids as we were all on the run; watching them all slowly die one by one. Starfleet finally came to the rescue a few weeks later. I couldn't remember ever being happier than the moment I stepped on that ship, I knew I was heading home."

"Winona managed to stay in River side for a total of 23 days before she decided I was 'fixed' enough for her to leave me with Frank again. That lasted about two weeks before I ran away. I had just turned 16. I got myself emancipated and went out on my own. I did several odd jobs just trying to make a buck. When I couldn't make enough to eat I stole and I got caught a few times. Never spent more than two nights at a time in jail though. When I was 18 I found out that Frank had died of alcohol poisoning and that Winona was looking for me. I went back to Riverside, after the funeral, and when I met with Winona again she tried begging for my forgiveness telling me what a terrible mother she had been and that she was sorry. I was still so angry at her for never being there for me, for just leaving me with whomever was convenient at the time, that I couldn't accept her apology. She didn't seem to care, or maybe that's what she expected because she gave me the farm and was back in space the next afternoon. I haven't seen or spoken with her since."

Spock was now freely hugging Jim while Bones was silently crying with his friend.

"Anyway bad habits die hard, but I guess I should be thankful for that cause if I hadn't gotten into that bar fight I never would have run into Pike and then I wouldn't be sitting here right now. Chris dared me to be better than my father and to join Starfleet, he jumped through some massive hoops to just get me started. I guess the rest is history!" Jim tried to laugh but he could feel the depressed mood in the air; in a week attempt to lighten it Jim tried to joke.

"Well since there are no magic sparkles floating around us or overly cheerful orchestras playing in the back ground I guess the Disney idea didn't work did it?" Bones in Spock's body scoffed.

"No Jim, I guess not." Bones stopped and looked at the slightly confused face of his Captain, "uh, Spock? You ok? You look lost."

"I am fine Doctor I am merely curious as to what Jim meant by 'magic sparkles and cheerful orchestras' I do not recall such a thing in the books I have read," Spock tilted Jim's head as he replied.

McCoy rolled Spock's eyes.

"Well duh! Those details are only in the Disney movies not the books. The books tell a more Romanticized and sometimes darker version of the story then the movies did." At the slightly awed look on Spock's face McCoy connected the dots, "you've never actually seen a Disney movie, have you Spock?"

"You are correct Leonard. My mother read me the stories as a child but I have never seen the movies. My mother had an antique VHS version of The Little Mermaid. My father believed it was highly illogical of her to keep it since the devise used to view the VHS was no longer in distribution. When I was eleven I attempted to copy the contents of the VHS to my PADD but instead I accidently caused the film to catch fire. Interestingly my mother found it amusing and kept the melted VHS as a memento."

"Well once we are back to normal Jim and I will watch The Little Mermaid with you, along with several other Disney movies. We'll make sure you get the entire experience firsthand!" Bones said.

Jim laughed a little at Spock amused but also somewhat child-like expression.

"Speaking of experience Leonard I think we should begin training Jim in the medical arts and yourself in those of science."

"Awesome! Can I hypo people? Oh I can re-decorate the Sickbay so it's not so creepy!" cried Jim like an over active 8 year old.

"Lord help us all!" moaned Bones as he covered his (Spock's) face with a pillow.
