Maybe. Captain Kirk in an apron is not something too many people get to see, you know.

[universal_charm]

Hmmm, so you just want a story to take back to your time, don't you? 'I remember this time I saw Captain Kirk in an apron!'. You'll get a few drinks out of that one, I'm sure.

[dancingmd]

If only I could have the holoimages to prove it! I’d be the talk of the Enterprise.

[universal_charm]

Maybe if you ask nicely and win enough points off me you can trade your pancakes for a picture.

[dancingmd]

[She laughs again.] Oh, pancakes for a picture? It’d be a good deal - if I could get the picture home with me.

[universal_charm]

We're Star Fleet. Our job is to solve problems, isn't it?

[dancingmd]

[She tilts her head, a small frown forming on her face.]

Not always, no. Though if I could bring photos from here... that would be nice. I don't want to forget.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He sighed, shaking his head slightly at that answer. He knew they didn't stick their noses in everything, but they were problem solvers, of a sort. He maintained, in his heart, that they were there not only to explore, but to help where they could. He knew the higher ups still disapproved of what he had done on Nibu, but he would never feel sorry for that no matter what they might say. ]}

Yes, it would be nice, wouldn't it? Especially since... well, there's no chance of us meeting outside of this, is there?

[dancingmd]

I wouldn't say no chance at all but... it's highly unlikely, yes.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He purses his lips slightly. ]}

I do hope I make it long enough to meet you in my universe.

[dancingmd]

I hope so too.

[Then she smiles and places her cards victoriously on the table. This round to her too.]

And more pancakes for me!

[universal_charm]

_{[ He groaned. ]}

At this rate I'm going to owe you a whole stack!

[dancingmd]

[Grin.] You can always quit while you’re ahead, you know.

[universal_charm]

_{[ He waggled his cards at her before tossing them into the pile. ]}

I won't fall for those mind games. Besides, haven't you ever heard of winning from behind?

[dancingmd]

[She shrugs.]

Worth a shot anyway

[universal_charm]

_{[ He chuckled. ]}

Oh, I don't fault you for trying! And you're still ahead by two pancakes.

[dancingmd]

Two pancakes is hardly a stack. There's more work to be done.

[universal_charm]

Well then, better put your poker face on ~

_{[ And so the game continued, though by the end, Kirk was down and did, indeed, owe Beverly an entire stack of pancakes, give or take a few. ]}
