GUYYYYSSSSS I'M BACK! *does a happy dance*
SOOOO here I am doing the valentines chapter because I said I would. Aren't I that nice.
It's been a hetic few months with the crazy weather and school and I've taken up rugby which is fun.
I have got a another chapter in progress, so be on the look out for that.
Anyway, this is chapter is dedicated to Ellen for her birthday and letting me take her seat in maths.
Hope you aren't all loners like me!
Five things that the gang did together on valentines
"PUT THE FLOUR DOWN JT GODDMAIT" Bones yelled across the kitchen where JT had gotten an entire packet of flour and was in the process of trying to pour it over Scotty after he had thrown an egg at JT. Bones decided that they were never gonna get the cookies done before a possible nuclear war.
Uhura was the one who finally ended it with some threats and slapping of everyone involved. It quickly settled down into some form of peace, while they all mixed and cut out the cookies (heart shape of course). Spock had pointed out that the shape of the cookies was nothing like an actual heart and going onto say that the entire day dedicated to love was illogical. McCoy threw a cookie cutter at his head; and another fight had to be diffused by Uhura.
Finally they had all managed to get to cookies into the oven without any more injuries or accidents. Sulu and Pavel were both putting plates into the washer, while JT had Scotty in a headlock over his PADD. Bones had left the kitchen in search of somewhere that he could regain he sanity while Spock and Uhura were both sitting at the table reading on their PADDs.
Now when it came to icing their cookies, it ended in a rather interesting secene. JT gave all his cookies Vulcan ears, as did Uhura. Sulu and Pavel did theirs in the Russian flag design. Scotty and Bones just drizzled as much icing as humanly possible on theirs, despite how often McCoy was going on about how much sugar they all ate. Spock gave his very logical lines around his set to, as he put it 'enhance the flavour'.
After devouring half the cookies and leaving the rest on a plate for the others, they left the kitchen in search of their next exploits.
Movies
Cleaned of all icing and flour, they settled into what they had claimed as their corner of the lounge. It was a cosy corner out of the way, with two sofas at a right angle around a TV. JT had sprawled himself over Bones and Spock, while Scotty and Uhura had taken the other sofa with Sulu and Pavel on the floor.
After much debate and three fights, ending in four ruined pillows and Bones scarred for life, they managed to decide on the original Hunger Games. Settling down, they began the movie.
After around ten minutes into the actual Hunger Games, the gang started coming up with creative ways of how to survive an arena full of crazy kids. Some of the ideas were… interesting, to say the least. (Scotty had suggested calling Starfleet, while Bones had said to just let Spock attack them with logic until they surrendered) JT had stayed suspiciously quiet during the discussion; everyone thought he was probably just ill from the amount of cookie dough and icing he had eaten.
They were delayed in leaving after the film, because Uhura had insisted they tidy up all the thrown popcorn and pillows from their area. Pavel had a large amount of popcorn in his hair and Scotty was still trying to get the Disc out of the player that he had claimed hated him after he messed with it last month.
With a satisfied Uhura and JT looking slightly less green they finally left the lounge in search of more entertainment.
Computer Games
"ARGHHHHHHH I WILLL MURDER YOU AND EVERYONE YOU KNOW!" JT yelled as he tried to overtake Bones on a corner. Bones just gave him an eye roll and continued to calmly speeded away.
"NONONONONONONO, YOU ASS I HATE YOU!" Again JT tried to overtake and failed. This was the final of a tense hour long, tournament that had ended in the violent final between Bones and JT. Spock had meant to be the judge, but had long since left after Uhura had thrashed him at Mario Kart. He was such a sore loser.
"BITCH I WILL TAKE YOU DOWN!" JT continued, making poor Pavel cringe at his harshness, JT took Mario Kart much to seriously.
Final lap the screen displayed at them and JT automatically got impossibly closer to the screen, Bones just continued with his casual posture. That was until JT got a red shell and sabotaged him. Then his full on southern anger came out as JT smugly crossed the finish line in first. He stood up and cheered at his success and was preparing to launch into a victory dance when the shocked faces of his friends made him stop and turn around.
Angry did not describe the emotion rolling off him in waves. He was sure Spock could feel it up in his room. This was about number 10 on the Leonard McCoy scale of angriness right after 'the moment when you steal my final cinnamon roll' but before 'you almost made me die'. This was the 'I was going to finally beat your annoying ass but you did something was exactly cheating, but downright evil and mean'. This level usually ended in an extended chase around the house and possible injury on anybody who got in the way of the pair.
Being the genius that he was and knowing the Bones was beyond speech and understanding, he chose the next best thing… and legged it out of the room with Bones right behind him, unfortunately for him Bones had a good two inches over him and it really did make a difference. The only advantage JT had was the fact that he was lighter and the laws of gravity worshipped at his feet (probably). Flying up stairs and along various corridors gave him enough of a lead to be able to slow down a bit and figure out what to do to avoid death by angry southerner (he had been though to much to make that a suitable death). All this thinking meant he didn't notice that he doubled back pretty much and was heading back towards the stairs, he didn't notice this until the floor had disappeared out form under him and he was falling and tumblring until he hit the bottom, winded and dizzy.
Bones came rushing at him, all anger gone and replaced by concern and guilt over JT's latest accident. Checking him over for broken bones, he pulled him up and over his shoulder, JT was always a little to light, but for now he was thankful that he didn't have to carry a heavy idiot down the stairs.
"I totally won it fair and square by the way" Was all JT mumbled before he fell unconscious.
"Whatever you ass, I will totally beat you again." Bones said to the sleeping brat.
Hospitals
After attempting to get everyone to stay behind at the house and wait for news, the staff eventually gave up and piled everyone into the bus with JT slumped across two seats with Spock and Uhura looking over him.
When they finally arrived in the A+E dept, one of the nurses instantly recognised the gang and directed them to one of the beds, where Spock laid JT and stood by his side. McCoy and Uhura were both sitting in the plastic chairs on the other side with Sulu at the end of the bed texting Pavel and Galia about what was happening.
All of a sudden the curtain was pushed back and the familiar face of Dr. Puri greeted them. He was one of the few doctors that JT trusted along with THE doctor (the cool one with a bowtie). He was some young fresh doctor that had high hopes to go on and be a Starfleet physician.
The normal operating procedure would be to make everyone else leave, but knowing JT and seeing an intimidating Vulcan standing by, he thought the best of it and set about working out what JT had done this time and how to fix it, without killing him.
McCoy filled him in on how the accident had happened, in a rather subdued tone and refusing to make any eye contact. Uhura calmed JT down when he stirred briefly as he was prodded and poked. Spock had finally sat down and seemed to be doing some sort of meditation in the locus position. Sulu had left to get some food and drink and had not returned yet.
It was an hour later that Puri returned and declared that JT had a mild concussion and would wake up naturally in three or so hours when the sedative wore off. Spock seemed relived at this or it could have been because meditating in a plastic chair was pretty uncomfortable. Uhura hugged McCoy and told him that it was all going to be okay. Sulu started texting everyone back at the house that they would be taking their reckless idiot home shortly.
Puri looked at the group with some form of confused amusement at their contrasting personalities and reactions. After getting over it, he signed the release forms and handed a couple of extra hyposprays to the poor member of staff that had gone with them. Things moved quickly as Spock scooped JT up and carried him out of the room, with McCoy and Uhura behind him. They were all happy to finally be leaving the cold white-ness of the hospital and into the strangely warm winter air.
Sleeping
Once JT and all had returned from the hospital, he was put down onto a sofa that everyone quickly gathered round to await their friends awakening. McCoy had left to go get something to eat, while the others played 'sleeping beauty'. After he returned he had hoped that he could say his piece to his friend and finally get to bed.
Only it didn't exactly work out that way; being the annoying idiot with the annoying immune system that JT was, the sedative didn't wear off when it was supposed to and JT did end up a bit like sleeping beauty. No one had the heart to leave JT and go to their own room when it was getting late so they all brought various things down, from blankets to a sword (Hikaru said that it was for protection and no one really wanted to question him at that point)
So there they slept, Hiddles up and around the sofa, faces illuminated by the lamp that nobody had the energy to actually turn off and wrapped up in their own dream worlds that seemed perfect but would be forgotten come morning.
A/N IN DID IT, that took four powercuts, a sleepover and my biology homework to get through to finish but here I am.
You will be pleased to know that I have already started the next chapter but it will be a sad one
Have a nice time and cookies for everyone who spots all the fandom references (I think there are 2?)
