Frozen
"Jim the answer is no."
"Answer to what, I haven't asked you anything yet!"
"With all due respect Captain, I know you and I know that at some point this week you will appear in my quarters singing and asking me if I wish to construct a humanoid representational figure out of crystalline precipitation. I feel it only pertinent to inform you already that my answer is no. I do not as you will put it "Wanna build a snow man"."
"Pertinent, Spock?" Kirk raises an eyebrow.
"Impertinent more like" mutters Bones.
"Really Spock?" Kirk sighs – "what makes you think I'm so predictable?"
"Only the fact that I have as yet had no evidence of your watching a twenty first century Disney movie without your feeling inspired to re- enact at least a part of it shortly following our viewing session."
"Good god, do you two ever shut up? You know I hate it when you talk through films and you've done it half the way through this one already!"
"Sorry Bones" mumbles Kirk.
"That is a gross exaggeration doctor –"
"Shut up Spock!"
"Sorry doctor."
"Though I'm warning you both – if that snowman starts singing I'm on my way to bed!"
Two minutes later Kirk wrestles a struggling doctor into staying and hearing the snowman sing.
"Don't be such a grumpy pants Bones!"
Bones gives him the glare of utter death and pours himself another brandy the better to help himself deal with Olaf's happy little song.
Half an hour later Spock maintains that if the boulders start to sing he will also be on his way to bed. Two minutes later Kirk and Bones wrestle a struggling Vulcan into staying and hearing the boulders sing.

The next morning on the enterprise sees a hung over medical officer moaning that snowmen skipped all through his intoxicated dreams –
"And seriously Spock, do you have to tell us you – and I quote – "Empathise with this character" every time we watch a movie.
"But doctor you are frequently urging me to learn and express human character traits are you not? And there is little difference in empathising with a character than with a real person."
"Oh fine. But why do you always pick the one who goes bad?"
"I would debate your summary of the plot doctor however I was most impressed by a character in one of these Terran movies being taught the principles of Surak from a young age, yes."
"Wha?" Bones squints – "Did I blink and miss that part?"
""Conceal, don't feel" doctor, I believe this has its roots in traditional Vulcan tenets and furthermore -"
"Spock I beg you to stop now, it was bad enough when you went philosophical over Pocahontas stepping in the same river twice and when you wrote me that detailed apologia for Loki's behaviour in "The Avengers", please do not ruin "Frozen" for me with a relevant application of the Principles of Surak!"
"Wake up on the wrong side of the bed Bones?" Grins Kirk, coming in.
"I fail to understand that expression Captain – how can a bed have –"
"Let it go Spock"
"You don't sound particularly cheerful yourself Jim." Says Bones.
"Well as it happens I was woken up at the crack of dawn by somebody –" looking pointedly at Spock – "Singing "Let it Go" at the top of their voice in the shower –"
"I refute that –"
"Passionately!" Kirk adds gleefully – "With dramatic emphasis!"
Spock eyebrows at him furiously while Bones breaks into a grin, this clearly the best thing he has heard all week.
"I do believe we are due on The Bridge Captain" says Spock stiffly.

An hour later, into a very dull Bridge shift, Spock settles into the near relaxation of believing Kirk to have dropped the subject, when all of a sudden
"Hey Spock?"
"Yes Captain?"
"Do you wanna build a snow man?"

Someone requested Disney a while back and I just watched "Frozen"….so this happened. :-)
