I Still Can't Believe You Shot Me!

I Still Can't Believe You Shot Me!
a Star Trek: Enterprise - based fan fiction

by: Joycelyn Solo

Rating: PG
Genre: Humor
Author's note: I can't believe how many people actually read (and liked) I Can't Believe You Shot Me! It's flattering, really, and I hope this sequel -- which I can't believe I was suckered into writing -- meets the same quality as its predecessor.

Summary: A little more conversation after "North Star."
Spoilers: Episode 3.9 North Star

~~~

"...Bugger...This is Reed."

"I am sorry to wake you, Lieutenant, but I require your assistance."

"Sub-Commander?"

"Captain Archer would like the new algorithms applied to the hull plating. He insists it cannot wait until morning."

"Right. I'll be there in ten minutes."

~ ~ ~

"Reed to Commander Tucker."

"..."

"Commander Tucker?"

"It's the middle of the night, Malcolm. What d'ya want?"

"Sub-Commander T'Pol wants my help with the hull plating."

"Good for her. Why are you buggin' me?"

"I'm sure I'm just being paranoid, but if she did have some sort of vengeance in mind, now would be the time for the fewest witnesses."

"You shot her a week ago, Malcolm. You really think T'Pol would wait this long to get you?"

"Vulcans are notoriously crafty. She's probably waited to lull me into a false sense of security."

"Or maybe she doesn't have anything planned and you're overreacting."

"All the same...Would you mind joining us?"

"What?"

"Well, I just figure she's less likely to pull something if you're there."

"You're being crazy, Malcolm."

"Says the man who doesn't have a Vulcan gunning for him."

"You don't know if...Aw, Hell. Alright. I'll meet you in the Armory. Just gimme a couple minutes."

"Thank you."

"Yeah, yeah."

~ ~ ~

"Tucker to T'Pol."

"Go ahead, Commander."

"I think y'can stop messin' with Malcolm, now."

"Indeed?"

"Yeah. He thinks you're callin' him to the Armory 'cause you got somethin' planned."

"Then it would appear your plan for retaliation worked."

"Yep."

"Thank you, Commander."

"No problem. Just don't forget that slice of pecan pie you promised."

I loved this. Vulcans, sneaky? Oh yeah, this was great fun and I really enjoyed the notion of T'Pol wanting to get Malcolm back for shooting her. Ali D :~)

It's just like Trip to want to torture Malcolm a little bit... and in fact... it's just like T'Pol to do that too! No wonder their so perfect for each other!

*CHUCKLE* yes this worked very very well. Quite fitting. Especially given the coffee scene in Harbringer... I really thought T'Pol left so much open with that and I see that growing T'Pol in this story. Bravo!

HEHEHEH!!!

LOL!!! I love you! This was sooooo awsome. Those two, a joint retaliation. Great, just great!

lol that's funny! I just read the first one and then this; great twist at the end there. lol it's so fun to torture malcolm

This was so funny! Great twist at the end

LOL!!!!! Hilarious!
Possible next sequel: what if Malcolm finds out they were in on it and gets some creative revenge? Something that would involve those two in some kind of potentially embarassing situation that would give the Enterprise rumor mill much to talk about, perhaps? *wicked grin*
