Postcard- Spock

For Forever_Trekkie -Here you go, my dear!

You tried not to let the scowl on your face show as the Vulcan next to you was getting ready to be beamed down. You told the captain that you were more than welcome to go to the surface to find the missing probe they lost. But had you known that he was going to have the pointy eared snot blood come too, you would have turned heel and ran the other way. Nothtat you were one to run from a problem, it's just you didn't want to be convicted of murder by the end of the mission.

You cleared your throat and nodded to the captain as he turned to you, a knowing smile on his face. "We will be sure to return as soon as possible."

Kirk smirked, shaking his head slightly. "Ah don't worry about it. Take your time. Go sight seeing. Maybe even take a picture or two together. Create memories."

Spock readjusted his holster before glancing at you and then turning to the captain. "I do not see the use of doing such things, Captain. We will need to use every moment we have on the surface to locate that which we lost."

You rolled your eyes. "Sure thing Captain. Just don't forget to beam us back up in a few hours. I don't think Count Vulcula here wants to be out in the sun down there as much as I do."

Spock turned to you, his hands clasped behind his back. "On the contrary. I am eager to observe the surface. Perhaps more so than yourself."

You scoffed. "Oh really? Well, then why don't we get you all set up with a house and you can send me a post card wishing I was there."

"Your mockery tone of the postcard shows that you do not, in fact, wish to leave me on an unknown planet, I hope."

"I had no idea you knew how to hope. Might as well add that to the growing list of human traits you have suddenly adopted."

"You have a list?"

"Of course! And I fear I will need to start another one, this one is getting too long."

"Perhaps you can file my postcard along with it."

"Oh so now you want to stay on the surface."

"Only in hopes of easing my ears from your constant unfeeling retorts."

You opened your mouth to do just that when Spock lifted his hand. "There is no reason for you to respond. We are here."

You blinked and looked around. Sure enough, the Enterprise was gone and instead of the sleek clean ship a dark, almost black dirk and large boulders of the surface greeted you.

You gave Spock a sideways glance before pulling out your probe locator and wandering off in the direction it indicated. You didn't care to make sure he was following you as you practically rushed off. He may be your superior but that doesn't mean you have to be his babysitter.

It would have been nice to have been told there was a storm on its way. The wind was picking up and the flying dirt made it hard to see anything. Spock walked along slowly next to you, your body very much aware of his closeness and his hand that would touch your back when a particularly rough gust of wind would take you by surprise.

There was very little in terms of shelter. The rocks were large but were tall and didn't loom over to the side, creating even a bit of shade. You held your hand up against the wind and the dirt, your hands and face suddenly feeling little drops of rain.

"Spock, we need to find shelter before the rain gets too bad. We aren't sure how dangerous these storms can be," you shouted over the wind and coming rain.
