Bored! I am currently sitting at my station next to Sulu With my head in my hands, slowly dozing off. Ab-Sulu-tely nothing is happening, we're just sitting her charting stars and planets.

My eyes drooped shut and I was asleep, but I was woken up abruptly when someone yelled my name in my ear. "KATIE!" "I'm not napping, you nap!" Laughter came from around the bridge.

"Jim! That's not funny you arse!" Yeah, I'm kinda the Bones of the bridge, I'm grumpy and old-fashioned but for some reason or another everyone seems to like me.

"Yeah it was, but seriously we're all going to want to kill ourselves if we don't have something to do. How about a good ol' game of truth or dare?" He said as he plopped down in his captain's chair again.

"Captain? Would that not be illogical and childish. We are grown men and women." Spock voiced from his station.

"Never thought I'd say this, but I agree with pointy over there. Playing truth or dare with you, Jim, is never a good idea." I got a glare from both of them but Spock and I were out voted by the captain and the rest of the bridge crew shortly after. Jim called Scotty and Bones up to the bridge and suddenly I got nervous. For the past few years on the Enterprise I have quietly fawned over the southern doctor, he is handsome and funny and really is a sweetheart, when Jim and the others aren't around. We are good friends, we are a lot alike, kinda grumpy, we make stupid jokes and metaphors all the time, and for some reason we just can't stand Spock but would never be able to get anywhere without him.

"What do you want Jim? I was busy stabbing myself in the eyes with hot needles down in med bay. Bloody hell it's slow today." I smiled and laughed quietly but was silenced when he sent me a quick smile and I turned away to hide my red cheeks.

"Bonesy, we are going to play truth or dare!" Jim announced with much enthusiasm and I listened as Bones grumbled and shuffled over to sit beside me.

"I tried to tell him its not a good idea, but did he listen? Noooooo. He's about as daft as a-"

"No! Bad! No metaphors you two!" Jim shouted while pointing at us sternly. We rolled our eyes but silently agreed. "Alright! I'll go first. Sulu, truth or dare?"

"Truth."

"Wimp. OK, when are you and Checkov going to admit to your love for each other?" The captain smiled devilishly and Sulu and Checkov both went beet red.

"Keptin!" "Captain! What the hell? No, never! We are just friends! I'm not gay, I assure you." Sulu panicked.

"I know, you choose truth so I had to make you suffer. Your turn, Mr Sulu." Jim said cheekily.

"Alright, Uhura! Truth or dare?"

"Dare."

"I dare you tooooo... breakdance. Right here right now." She reluctantly got up and moved to the empty floor space infront of the viewing screen and made a sad attempt at the pepper grinder and failed miserably. We all laughed at her as she made her way back to her seat.

"Alright, Scotty. Truth or dare?"

"I am no wimp! I choose dare." The Scotsman declared proudly.

"I dare you to ballroom dance with Keenser." He and Keenser looked at each other and Keenser slowly shook his head no.

"Gladly! M'lady." Scotty bowed low and put his hand out to Keenser who let out a little groan. Scotty waltzed around the bridge, twirling an unhappy whatever the hell Keenser is around with him. They finished and we gave them a round of applause.

"Okee dokee, Jim truth or dare?"

"Ask a stupid question. Dare."

"And ya get a stupid answer. I dare you to give up your captain's chair for a day." Scotty and Jim had everyone's attention now.

"To who?"

"Tooooo... Katie." My usual scowl turned into a big grin and Jim gulped.

"And if I don't?"

"Bones gets to hypo you." Bones got a huge grin on his face too and it made my heart melt.

"Fine! It's hers, she can have it!" To say i was happy was an understatement, but I couldn't help but feel uneasy about how quickly he gave up. "Okaaay!" Jim said in a sing- song voice. "Katie, truth or dare? And before you answer that I'd just like to tell you that either way, you will suffaaa!" I gulped and blinked a couple times, trying to choose the safest route.

"D-dare?" I choked out with an unsure tone.

"I dare you to take Bones and play seven minutes in heaven in the supply closet." I went slightly pale then my cheeks became cherry red as did Bones'. I nodded and walked over to Bones. He took my hand and we walked over to the closet, stepping in and closing the door.

"We don't actually have to do anything, you know. We could just sit for awhile if y-" my rambling was silenced by Bones gently yet urgently pressing his lips against mine. I quickly melted into the kiss as he wrapped his strong arms around my waist and I put mine around his neck, gently running my fingers through his hair. We Puth pulled back, panting and still holding each other close.

"Sorry, darlin'. I've been wantin to do that for awhile now." My face was redder than a tomato and I was shaking like mad.

"It's alright, I-I have too." I said not looking up at him. He gently tilted my face up so I was looking at him and he smiled sweetly.

"Really?"I nodded and smiled back at him. "This is gonna seem real old fashioned, but, will ya be my girl?" I smiled and giggled at his mumbling and reprimanding of himself for asking like he did.

"It would be my pleasure, Leo."

"Alright, that means I can do this." And he leaned in to kiss me again.

Meanwhile, outside the closet...

"Finally. Maybe they'll both be less pissy now." Jim whispered to everyone else as they watched the live video feed from the camera Scotty installed in the closet. The whole thing had been planned and all but Bones and Katie knew about it.

"Shut it off, shut it off, shut it off!" Jim panicked as they exited the closet. The whole bridge turned and looked at them with overly innocent smiles.

"Whaaaat?" Katie drew out, her English accent came through a little stronger than usual.

"Nothing! *Ahem* nothin'." Scotty Shouted at first but quickly tried to cover up.

"Alright! Outta my chair peasant!" Katie commanded Jim playfully.

"Ah, shit."
