+ get to hang it over Odo's head. Let him go after counselors' mothers."

*Their kiss lasted longer than expected, eventually lips slowly retreating so that they could allow air to enter the doctor's lungs. Maybe theirs too, that is if Ore required the nitrogen enriched gas combination.*

"I couldn't help it Ore, you've been really nice to me, and a flirt. That and I +

"Well gee Spock, that sounds like an order to me. Oh come on, you know I'll be there! I'll even behave for once."

+ feverishly helping as many surviving Vulcans as he could.*

"Pfft, like that's stopped Jim before! Plus I recall someone losing their temper once. To which I say, as I quote the great Buddy Rydell say, remember, anger is the one thing you can't get rid of by losing it."

*Bones did bring up a sore subject, but the doctor knew well of the loss that day, +

"I did yeah... she was great. I don't know if the multi-verse plans on reuniting us or not..."

"The only place you're going sailor is to a bio bed! Get in here before I drag you in!"

"I did for a little while, Rebecca. It was great, and maybe not always the excitement I was into, but it was a fulfilling relationship. Now I'm here, back to the usual misery..."

"YOU!!! Get your ass in this med bay, right now! I'm gonna scan that noggin of yours, since you love to throw yourself in harm's way!"

"That's right, we are on shore leave. Or at least most people are. I might just stay on the ship or see what's going on in Medical at the station."

"Sure, lay it on me Spock. What does our favorite idiot suggest for them nuptials?"

"The part about being nice to a grumpy doctor pretty much did the trick. But don't think I won't yell at you for getting injured!"

*McCoy gently bops their nose with a fist, followed by lips that apply a kiss in the same spot.*

"Pervert."
