"Hey Spock, C'mere." said Leonard. Spock walked over by him.

"Do you know what's wrong with Jim? Asked McCoy. "He's been acting really weird. He's been quiet, wanting to do his schoolwork before anything else, he hasn't left campus in awhile, heck it's November 20th and he hasn't even mentioned Christmas, He seems like the type that would be excited for it already."

"His behavior has been abnormal." agreed Spock, "However the reason he hasn't mention Christmas had nothing to do with that, he is Jewish."

"Oh." said Bones. "That would explain that. You know what? I'll bet he's in the room right now, let's go talk to him, find out what's wrong." Bones started walking away, followed by Spock.

"If he wanted us to know what was wrong, wouldn't tell us?"

"No he wouldn't, and that's basic human behavior. He probably wants us to know what's going on but isn't going to tell us, so we have to pry."

"That is very illogical."

"Since when are humans logical?"

"Hey, Jim." said Bones. Jim looked up from his work.

"Hi guys." he said. He had had one earphone in and the other one dangling from the chord so he could hear.

"Are you okay Jim?" asked Bones.

"Yeah, I'm fine. Why would you ask?"

"Your recent behavior had been extremely irregular for someone who claims they are 'fine.'" said Spock.

"Look, everything is cool, I'm good you don't need to pester me about it. I have to finish this." he went back to his schoolwork.

"When's it due?" asked Bones

"Three days."

"You never start work this early."

"I do now."

"What is up with you?" Jim looked at his roommates.

"Fine, I'll tell you. Until the at least the end of the semester my grades have to be really good, I mean really good. Otherwise I'm getting at least a reprimand or two, maybe even expelled."

"For what?" asked Spock.

"Talking back to teachers, a fight with another student, some pranks I pulled, and for destroying most of the furniture on our room at one time or other."

"So that's why you've been strange? Why you've just been concentrating on schoolwork?" asked Bones.

"Yeah, Oh, and I can't leave campus until winter break." said Jim.

"Alright. That would explain it. We'll allow you to return to your work." said Spock, he sat down at his desk and got to work on his own assignments, so did Leonard. There was silence for a few minutes.

"It is way too warm in here." said Jim, "It's November for goodness sakes!"

"We're in California." said Bones. "It's warmer here than where you're from."

"I find the room a little cold actually." said Spock

"Easy for you to say, you're from Georgia Bones, and you're from Vulcan Spock" grumbled Jim, "I wish it could snow here. And it's still to warm for November. He went over to the desk and turned on the computer.

"Computer, what is the current temperature in this room?

"The temperature is 79.3 degrees Fahrenheit"

"No wonder I'm warm! Lower temperature to... 48 degrees Fahrenheit."

"Computer, cancel last request." said Spock.

"Spock! I'm burning up! How am I suppose to concentrate on school when it feels like summer in here?"

"And I wouldn't be able to work when I wold be as cold as I would be at 48 degrees."

"Come on, let's just set the thing at sixty-something and leave it at that." said Bones. "Spock, you'll live, and Jim, just pretend it's the heater and that it's all white and snowy outside."

"Fine." said Kirk.

"That would be acceptable." said Spock.

"Good. Computer set room temperature at 64 degrees Fahrenheit."

"Temperature set."

there was a few more minutes of silence.

"Oh gosh, I just thought of something!" said Kirk, "If I can't leave campus then how am I suppose to get my parents Hanukah gifts? I can't replicate something! Man I can't wait to home for the holidays! How 'bout you Bones?"

Bones smiled, James T. Kirk was back to normal.
