Only Jim
by Starsinger
Jim does something unexpected, even for him. Don't own them.
Bones pulled himself out of bed. It was Saturday, and he wasn't expected anywhere, even the hospital. He showered, shaved, dressed in civvies and headed out of his dorm room. The first hint of something unusual going on. "I can't believe he did it," one cadet whispered to a friend.
"Well, considering who we're talking about!" another announced.
"Did he climb all the way up there?" he heard Uhura ask.
"I don't know how else he got up there!" Gaila responded.
Bones joined the surging crowd as it emptied into the quad. He stopped along with everyone else and looked up. He found someone sitting atop one of the flagpoles. "What in the blazes?" he suddenly asked. "Who is it?"
"Who do you think?" Sulu asked.
"Jim," he muttered.
"What gave him the idea to do that?" another cadet asked.
"We were watching an old game show last night called 'What's My Line?'. It's so old it was in black and white. It featured a professional flagpole sitter," Bones responded.
"That's a new one on me," a new voice sounded at his elbow. Bones looked over at Captain Pike. "What do you think?" he asked Bones.
"Leave him up there," Bones told him. Pike raised an eyebrow. "He'll get in less trouble if he stays up there!"
