Good-day to all my readers, enjoy.
"I'm telling you, Bones, you'll love her."
"I said no, Jim. What's so hard for you to understand about that?"
"The part where you don't want to."
"Just because you can date five girls at once-"
"I do not!"
Spock entered his room. "What are the two of you arguing over?" he asked.
"Jim's trying to set me up with someone."
"Her name's Marie Caster. She's a friend of Uhura's and Chapel's. I've met her a few times and she's very sweet. And you could use a little sweet, Mr. Sit-down-shut-up-and-do-your-homework."
"Well you need to! Do you want to get grounded again?"
"I get good grades."
"And keep me up all night the night before a big test."
"You changed the subject!"
"Let me change it back then: I am NOT going on a blind date, now or ever." Spock looked at Leonard.
"Why would you object to 'going on a date' with someone who cannot see?" asked Spock. Kirk sighed.
"Spock you've been for how long now? No, don't answer, that was rhetorical. But really you don't know what a blind date is?"
"Obviously." said Bones.
"Then what is a 'Blind date'?" asked Spock.
"A blind date is when two people who don't know each other's alleged best friends who do know each other convince them to go on a date with the other and they have a miserable time and don't talk to their stupid, vain, egocentric best friends or help them with their science homework for a month because of it." said Bones.
"Ouch." said Kirk.
"Are you in pain, James?" asked Spock, slightly confused by Leonard's answer.
"No, just being sarcastic." he said. "A blind date is when two people who have never met before go on a date. Hopefully they will like each other and go on more dates and maybe even fall in love."
" 'Hopefully' and 'Maybe' being the key words in that sentence." grumbled Bones. He sat on the end of his bed. Kirk sat on his and Spock sat in the chair that went with his desk.
"So you really won't?" said Kirk.
"NO!" said Bones.
"Okay." Kirk turned on some music which Spock now recognized as being by a group called 'The Beatles'. The boys sat quietly reading or doing homework for a few minutes. Then Kirk jumped up.
"Hey! I just thought of something!" he turned down the music. "If you won't go out with Marie, maybe Spock can!"
"Ya know, that's not a half-bad idea." said Bones. "The Hobgoblin could use a social life."
"I have no interest in any sort of romantic relationship, with any of our female peers." said Spock.
" 'No interest in any sort of romantic relationship with any of our female peers'? What kind of an answer is that?" said McCoy.
"The one I gave you." Spock said.
"So if you're not interested in women, are you interested in guys?" asked Kirk.
"Homosexual relationships are, to use a human phrase, 'frowned upon' on Vulcan. And I am hetrosexual. And it is illogical of you to assume that simply because I am not interested in pursuing a romantic relationship with a woman that I am homosexual."
"Okay, okay. Sorry I brought it up." Kirk said, putting his hands up. "But really Spock, you're talking like we suggested you to marry her."
"Is that not the purpose of a courtship? To find a suitable spouse?"
"Spock," said McCoy, "if you were to marry a non-vulcan, I would feel very sorry for her. Because the life of any human married to a vulcan seems like it would be absolutely horrible."
"My mother is a human married to a vulcan." said Spock simply. And I am confident that providing my father was not present she would- however illogical- slap you for insulting her marriage.
"Ooooh. You insulted his mother, Bones." said Kirk.
"Like he cares." said Bones. "I could say whatever I wanted about your mother and you wouldn't do anything, would ya, Spock?"
"I would not phyiscally harm you for speaking ill of my mother, especially since you would only be doing so to provoke me."
"Do you spend your free time thinking up responses like that?" asked Bones.
"Hey, back to the subject at hand." said Jim. "Spock, will you go on a date with Marie Caster tomorrow night?"
"No."
"Please?"
"I have already given you a response, the most logical course of action now is to accept it."
"But it would mean sooooo much to Christine." said Kirk.
"I fail to understand how that is relevant." said Spock.
"Sure ya don't." Leonard rolled his eyes "She's probably why you don't wanna go on a date with this Marie."
"If you wouldn't mind, I would like to return to my book." Spock went back to reading Temporal displacements in the history of Starfleet.
"Well if neither of you are going to, I'll just have to tell Marie."
"Why don't you go with her? It's not like you're going out with Janice right now. Not after your fight."
"We patched that up, I'm taking ehr to the movies tomorrow night. Speaking of which, I said I'd meet her on the grounds about now
"And I have an extra class starting in ten minutes, see you later Jim. Hobgoblin." Kirk and McCoy left. SPock wondered about what his roommates had said about Christine Chapel. This not the first time they had implied that they thought he an Christine had feelings for each other.
I am a Vulcan. I do not pursue romantic relationships without a logical reason. I do not intend to marry Christine Chapel, the chance we will be posted together after acadmey is minimal, it is illogical. He thought about Christine Chapel again.
I am a Half-Vulcan.
Kirk was going to try to set someone up eventually, right? And I WANT TO DO SOME REAL SPOCK/CHAPEL SO BAD! (But it wouldn't work right in this fic.) Also, yes, I did go off and have Kirk baisically ask Spock if he was gay, that does not mean Kirk is interested! It means Kirk is a hyper 19 year old who draws conclusions way to fast. Does anyone think I need to change the rating on this now? I'm not sure. Anyways, I hope you enjoyed it, and reveiws are highly apriciated. (longest author's note ever!)
