elliewood | Fic: Companion, Chapter 42: Chekov

I come early because I want enough time to enjoy. Come too late, leave too soon, not so much to enjoy. I order my drink from the bar woman; she is pretty nice, nice-looking, but not for me, too skinny. I smile at her and she says my drink is on top of the house and will not take my money. Good thing, I think.

The doctor and Miss Uhura come in and look around the room. They are early just like me. I wave at them and they come to me at the bar. Bar woman takes their order but it is not on top of the house. Doctor is making the joke about my drink. I tell him his drink is horse piss. Then he is telling me his family is in the eastern North American United States since before revolutionary war. I think he is very proud of this thing but it does not matter, his drink is still piss. Maybe piss and water. Miss Uhura wants white wine, girly drink. Doctor asks bar woman for the big table so I bring my drink and sit with them. Miss Uhura is touching doctor and laughing, and he is smiling very much. I see something wrong with his face, little scar on nose and little bruise on eyes, but he is seeming very happy. He asks waiter for more horse piss and wings of buffalo chicken. I do not know what animal is that.

Now the captain and Mr. Spock come in and they see us and come to the table. The doctor and Miss Uhura stand up and hug them many times. I shake everyone's hand, even Mr. Spock. Captain is hugging Miss Uhura for very long time and I am thinking oh no, Mr. Spock is angry, but he is busy to hug doctor very tight and say something straight in the ear that makes doctor smile and slap Mr. Spock on the shoulder. I am very surprised because I do not think Mr. Spock enjoys to touch the people. Captain sits next to doctor and hugs him around the shoulders, is joking with him very much, much laughing, but he is looking a little serious too, doctor just laughs and slaps captain on the leg and orders more horse piss. Asks captain and Mr. Spock what they want; captain is wanting beer, Mr. Spock also is wanting beer. Strange because I do not know Mr. Spock likes drink except water and tea that is smelling like cat piss. He sits next to captain and I am thinking oh no, Mr. Spock is angry that doctor and girlfriend are touching so much but he does not look angry. Very tall handsome waiter comes to take beer order and I order more drink for me and Miss Uhura. I am sitting next to her, she is looking very pretty and kisses me on the cheek.

Ah here is coming Hikaru and Miss Darwin. He is shaking everyone's hand and she is hugging me. I want to hug her for long time; her chest is soft like pillow, so nice. I am asking what drink for them. She is saying, she will have "vodka tonic." I know what is vodka but not tonic. I tell her, no tonic. She say yes, she will try. She is good woman. Hikaru is wanting rice wine. Maybe it is good, but he tells me it is warm, I think, not good.

Very handsome waiter brings wings of buffalo chicken and we are passing them around. Everyone takes but Mr. Spock and the captain. Mr. Spock, he is vegetable only. Captain is not, but still, he does not take wings. Strange because I know he is liking to eat meat. Waiter smiles at captain and asks, why you not take wings? I make you something else, something good you will enjoy, it is on top of the house. Captain shakes his head and handsome waiter smiles bigger, says come on, I know I am having something for you, you will like. Mr. Spock stares at waiter and captain says something vegetable.

Wings are so good but very hot. My face is red, I can feel. Doctor is laughing at me, he says, you want some horse piss to wash down? I tell him I die before drink his piss drink. Miss Darwin pats my arm, tells me vodka is good. I am thinking I want to sit in her lap.

Mr. Scott and Mr. Keenser are coming. I am having hard time now to see them because it is crowded, so many people. I am happy I come early. I see captain stand up and shake the hand of Mr. Scott and Mr. Scott pull captain in and hug him and cry little bit. Then he is hugging Miss Uhura and doctor and crying again. I think he is needing drink or maybe is already started. It is not matter, I order drink for them. They sit down and Mr. Scott is also making joke about my drink. I tell him his drink is cow piss. I am thinking Mr. Keenser is laughing but I cannot be for sure.

Very handsome waiter brings plate of fried potatoes and vegetable and something brown looks like pig shit, I do not know what is it. Captain and Mr. Spock try, say it is good. Waiter says to captain, anything else you want, I give you. Captain smiles no. Mr. Spock does not smile, stares at waiter and moves hand closer to captain's hand on table. Miss Darwin squeezes my leg. I am thinking I want to hug her pillow chest again.

Dr. Marcus comes to the table and everyone stands and hugs more. Doctor hugs for long time, Miss Uhura hugs and laughs, Mr. Spock shakes her hand, captain hugs too. She orders black beer from very handsome waiter and sits next to Mr. Keenser. I am thinking he is looking very happy but I am not for sure. She is wanting to sit next to captain but Mr. Spock will not move. She is needing to come more early like me.

I am enjoying very much. Doctor and captain are laughing, much hugging. Mr. Spock is looking happy even when very tall handsome waiter is asking captain does he like anything. Miss Uhura and doctor are leaning together, very happy. Dr. Marcus and Mr. Scott are talking very much about engines and weapons. I think maybe she is needing more beer. Mr. Scott is very happy, not needing any more cow piss, cannot talk well because too much already. Mr. Keenser is asking him if he is needing ride home.

I am sitting on the lap of Miss Darwin and she is very good kissing, taste like vodka. Hikaru is laughing loud, slapping me on the shoulder and asking if I am needing ride home.

I am thinking, no.
