Holding my tray with a nervous look, I stand in the doorway and look around the room. Spotting Scotty and Sulu sitting next to each other talking I sigh with relief and walk over to them. After the last couple missions I've been getting to know some of the main crew members. Me and Scotty have become fast friends recently, both of us having common interests. "Hey fellas." I sit down beside Scotty and get comfortable. Grabbing my fork and a knife I cut up my food while they both greet me.

"Heya Alex! I haven't been seeing ya round much these past few days. Where've ya been hiding lass?" Scotty turns to ask me with a brow raised. I look at both of their plates and see that Scotty is eating some sort of meat dish, while Sulu is eating some kind of yummy looking ramen.

"Ah.. Sorry about that boys.." I grimace and run the back of my head with my free hand. "I've been trying my hardest to beat Spock at Go Fish. He's won 13 games in a row, I can't catch a fucking break.." Resting my head against my hand, looking over at Scotty with a deep sigh. Scotty bursts out laughing setting down his fork. Sulu chuckles along as he slurps up some of his noodles.

"What do ya expect from a Vulcan lass? They're one of the smartest races in the federation!" Shoving a piece of meat into his mouth, a wide beaming smile on his face. Shaking his head with clear amusement at my suffering. "Yer nae gonna beat him unless he lets you lass." Scotty points to me with his empty fork, a smirk on his face.

Sighing softly slinking down into my seat and poke at my food. "I know... A girl can dream though.." Just once, I would like to win..

"How have you been fairing with that little crush of yours Alex?" Sulu leans forward and wiggles his eyebrows suggestively at me before he slurps up some broth with his spoon. Gasping I smack his arm lightly, causing him to laugh into his bowl.

"Well.. It's um... going.. thats for certain.. I'm just not sure if he likes me. You can never tell.." Chuckling softly I look down to my food and take a bite with a smile. Both Scotty and Sulu look behind me with wide eyes.

"Can never tell what, Alex?" My eyes widen as I hear Spock's voice behind me. I freeze with horror, turning around slowly I see that he's standing with his arms behind his back.

"Jeez Spock you scared me.. You're as sneaky as a mouse!" I hold a hand to my chest with a dramatic exhale. Fucking hell! My heart is racing!

"I shall take that as a compliment." The Vulcan smiles ever so slightly. "Come, the Captain wishes to see you on the bridge."

"I'll take care of ye tray lass, run along now." Scotty makes a shooing motion with his hands. Sighing in defeat I quickly slide my tray over to Scotty and get up from my seat.

"Thanks Scotty! I owe you one!" I wave to the both of them while I walk away. They both wink at me silently wishing me luck, rolling my eyes I follow Spock to the bridge.. Why does Jim need me anyways? Did something happen?

Stepping into the elevator I sigh, resting my back against the cool metal wall. "I apologize for interrupting your conversation with Chief Engineer Scott and Lieutenant Commander Sulu.. if I may enquire, what were you talking about?" Spock side eyes me for a second before returning his gaze forward.

"Oh it's uh.. nothing." Scratching the back of my head, blushing softly I avoid looking near the Vulcan. Curse these infernal feelings! I envy Vulcans! The doors to the lift open, exiting briskly I see the back of the Captain's head as he sits in his seat. "Heyo, Whatcha need Jimbo." I ask with a smile, walking around the chair to look at him. Spock follows behind me closely, unbeknownst to me the Vulcan is smirking knowingly.
