Star Trek Hangover AU

Chapter 2

The man finished the double checks on Scotty's kilt and he left the room, quiet pleased with himself.

      "You know, Scotty, I was thinking, If you wanna go to Vegas without me, take back that invite, that would be, well within your logical restrictions." Spock said.

    "What are you talking about?" Scotty asked.

    "You know, Kirk and Bones, they're your friends, and it's your bachelor party."

    "Come on, Spock. Those two love you."

    "I will take it as you don't mean that literally. There is also the matter that, I wouldn't want you to have any feelings that I may prevent your ritual."

      "Oh, it's not a ritual and no big deal. Besides, a drunk vulcan, I'd pay to see that" Scotty said nodding.

    "I have already informed you-"

    "Ah - I know - I know" Scotty said nodding "besides it's no big deal. We're just spending the night in Vegas. I wanted as many people to come as possible, of course, being we're in the middle of a very rare break, and most are working up until my wedding it just isn't possible."

    "Are you going to swear me into secrecy for tonight?" Spock asked.

    "I um. What?" Scotty asked raising his eyebrows.

    "Is that not part of the ritual?" Spock asked.

    "Um. Yeah, I don't think that is necessary..."

    "Seriously. Whatever happens, I will respect your ritual of secrecy. Even if we kill someone." Spock said.

    "What?" Scotty asked with a squeak to his tone.

    "It's Audacious, it's dangerous things happen. Besides, on my planet people are always getting murdered, especially when it involves weddings."

    "What?" Scotty repeated again his mouth gaping open.

      "You heard me. Have you ever strangled a man with your bare hands? No matter what happens I won't tell a soul."

    "Okay. I got it." Scotty said mortally scarred for life "stop talking."

                    *        *        *

    "No, Mr Keenser, I can't." Scotty said circling the bright red slick, smooth ass space ship.    

    "We are family now" Mr Keenser said who much resembled Keenser, but he wore a suit, and spoke pretty good english.

    "You sure? I mean, you do love this ship" Scotty said.

    "Scotty, it is just a ship, if there is anyone else here who I can trust it with, then surely I can trust you, a spaceship engineer. Just remember to give it a safety wax before going out of orbit."

    "Sure thing Mr Keenser" Scotty said grinning, as his hand began to softly caress the ship headlights.

    "Oh, and mm don't let that Spock fellow drive there's something wrong with him."

    "He's a vulcan" Scotty said "and the commander of the USS Enterprise."

    "Have you ever seen him drive a ship before?" Mr Keenser asked.

    "As a matter of fact" Scotty said "I watched him drive his ship, right into this huge mining ship once, huge explosion, then that ship, got dragged into a blackhole. I tell you-"

    "That is exactly the kind of shit I am talking about Scotty" Mr Keenser said pointing a dangerous finger.

    "Fine, fine understood" Scotty said putting his hands up innocently.

    "Oh and don't let Jim drive either. I don't like him" Mr Keenser said.  

    "I promise, I will be the only one driving this ship.

    "Good."
