Kirk and Spock have a few days of on-ship leave to fill and there's only so much chess even Jim can take until he starts getting antsy. They decide to try a new game -- bowling. "What?" you say. "There's not a bowling alley on the Enterprise..." OH HO HO, that is where you would be wrong, my friend. iT'S CANON. And it's time for bOWLING DATE NIIIIGHTT~~~~

Spock questions Jim's interest ... and Jim explains.

When the Captain's and the First Officer’s memories fail them, it’s the toughest for Doctor McCoy… The story is set during the second five-year mission, between ST I and ST II.

This story was originally written in Russian. With thanks to Skaylin for translation and to ForgottenOne for betaing the English version.

Spock's a mystery, and Jim's the cat curiosity killed.  Vulcan biology is weird.

Jim Kirk has fallen hopelessly in love with his new First Officer -- but will Spock agree to take their friendship to the next level? 

(this was mostly just for a bit of fun)

((Inspired by the Sleeping With Sirens song "Your Nickel Ain't Worth My Dime"))

They find a strange new world, they check out the new life...

Spock has put off the grieving process after the loss of Vulcan for too long, and a dam of sorrow is about to break...

Jim utilizes his off-duty shift to play chess with Spock--with a twist. Touch of angst and slightly cracked.
