Hearts Are Flying--A Star Trek Fantasy

As the day dawned (though some on the Enterprise would contest
that the day _dawned_ in space) rumors were flying. It had
started when someone had noted that the cool Mr. Spock, the
ship's first officer, had been seen coming out of Lieutenant
Uhura's quarters, as the early morning shift ended. Of course,
all were careful to keep it from the ears of the Magnificent
Seven (and their immediate acquaintances), as the bridge crew was
called.

The current scuttlebutt went like this:

"Did you hear? Sharris walked past Uhura's quarters last night
and saw Mr. Spock sneaking out. I'd lay odds they were having a
little fun, if you catch my drift."

"That's totally ridiculous!"

"Sure, but you've never seen the way they look at each other. I
swear, when you're around them, you'd think it was noonday in the
Sahara."

"Really? Perhaps it's just you."

"What's _that_ supposed to mean?"

"Nothing, nothing at all."

Of course, the truth was far from that, though not totally in the
distance. For some years, the lovely Nyota had indeed inflamed
the eyes of the cold Mr. Spock. Yet being the perfect Vulcan he
was, he never gave any indication.... Uhura was also irrevocably
and completely attracted to him. She did give indication, a
smidgen only, especially when they sang together.

The crewman walking by had seen the ending of a rehearsal,
something new to please the ship. The poor man couldn't have
known that they had decided to spend the night writing and
rehearsing a new song.

In his mind, it was interesting predicament, a pretty problem to
be solved. So he solved it the only way that seemed probable.

However, the absolute truth was...that night they had confessed
their love and come to the mutual conclusion to pursue it at a
later date--a few minutes after.

O! Unfortunate crewman who was transferred a few days later. He
never knew that the ship would soon witness a wedding, one they
heartily approved, even if they could not understand it.

What an honorable groom was Mr. Spock! What a lovely bride was
Uhura! What speechlessness struck the Doctor!

O, if only rumors flew more often.

End.
