Star Trek O/S Drabble: Never Happier

Title: Never Happier

Fandom: Star Trek Original Series

Author: badly_knitted

Characters: Spock, Leila, Captain Kirk.

Rating: G

Challenge: #2: Under The Influence at drabble_weekly.

Spoilers/Setting: This Side Of Paradise

Summary: Spock experiences happiness under the influence of alien spores.

Disclaimer: I don’t own Star Trek, or the characters. They belong to the late great Gene Roddenberry.

Spock has never been happier. That simple fact should be alarming, yet it causes him no disquiet. He is happy, here in this paradise, with Leila, the woman he loves, by his side. There’s no cause for concern, nothing he needs to do except live in the moment, enjoying everything in ways he’s never been able to before.

This is right, even perfect.

The Captain’s voice coming through his communicator is an unwelcome interruption, and their conversation soon becomes tedious. The small device falls from his hand as he kisses Leila. Spock has better things to do with his time.

The End

I feel a need to even the balance, since you got trolled. (That burns me up. How dare somebody troll you?!)

I gotta say, though I've never cared for Star Trek (especially not the original series), I really enjoyed this. And I can totally hear Nimoy's voice in this, as though he's narrating it. Great job! :D

Thank you! I'm a confirmed Star Trek fan, having started watching when it first came to UK TV when I was 7. I grew up with Star Trek and Doctor Who, they shaped me. Spock was always my favourite Trek character and still is. It was a blow that he passed away so soon after mum, two huge parts of my life gone.

Trolls aren't something I'll lose sleep over. Hear that, Troll? *pokes Troll with pointy stick* How do you like my pointy stick? Nice and sharp, isn't it? *evil grin*

Thank you! Just dipping my toe into Trek!

*dies* OMG, I can't stop laughing over your troll-torture!!! A good laugh is always a nice thing to wake up to. :D

*bows* Thank you!

I know how to handle a Troll, even if I got such a poor specimen ;)

You can consider that practice for if a better-equipped one ever shows up--which, hopefully, won't ever happen.

And I'm sad to say my glee-buzz has just died. I can't find my phone, and I'm kinda freaking out. Mom's off somewhere with her brother today, and I went to get my cell just in case she needs to contact me. And I can't find it anywhere. I'm prepared to swear up, down, and sideways that I put it on the table when we came home from groceries a few days ago, and I always keep it near there, anyway, since that's where my charger's plugged in. Not there; I checked the shopping bags we used--still not there. I even, heart in my throat, checked the pockets of the jeans I wore that day, hoping that I hadn't accidentally put it through the laundry. The fact that I didn't find it there is the only good part of this...which still isn't so great, as now I'm wondering if I have to check the washing machine or the dryer. O.o

Whew; not in either machine. Where the hell...?!

I feel for you, I really hate when something I need goes missing. Hoping it turns up. Maybe your mom took it with her by mistake or something. Can you remember when you last used it? Sometimes that helps to locate something that's done a vanishing act.

The moment Mom got home, I asked her (rather desperately) if she'd seen it. It was in her purse. I'd put it there when we came home, just so I wouldn't drop it while getting grocery bags. Whew! God, the relief!

YAY! Obviously I haz psychic powers ;)
