Scary movies II

The power went out.
That was probably the first clue.

Some girls gave a little scream as the screen on the t.v. went blank and the room was plunged into darkness.

Having a sneaking suspicion of whose fault it was, I rose from my chair. "I'll go see what happened."

Kirk opened the door at my knock and leaned nonchalantly against the door frame.  "Well hello, Bridget. What are you looking for?"

I gave him a dry look. "The power. Turn it back on."

Kirk feigned surprise, making his blue eyes go wide. "What makes you think we had anything to do with it?"

"I think you had everything to do with it. Turn. It. On."

He grinned at me and quickly closed the door.

I waited outside the door for a few minutes before pounding on it. "Kirk! Knock it off! I want the power back on or I want you out, do you understand me?"

He opened the door again, "Ouch, I'm hurt. You really don't want me here?"

"Lights. On."

"Fine, fine..." he closed the door and a few seconds later the power went back on.

"Thank you!" I called through the door as I headed down the stairs.

"Yeah, yeah. Whatever." was his muffled reply.


We made it another twenty minutes into the movie when Kirk came strolling down the stair, whistling.

"Kirk! What on earth do you want?!"

"Vulcan,"  I heard a voice upstairs correct. "It is what on Vulcan."

I rolled my eyes.

Kirk weaved across the room, stepping over pillows and flopping down on the couch beside me. "What's up?"

"Your time here." I shoved him, "Go away."

He rose and walked towards the kitchen, "Do you have any food?"

"Help yourself." I grumbled.

"Thank you."

He walked back in with a bag of chips and sat back down. "So whatcha watching?"
"A scary movie. You're too much of a girl to handle it."

"You're really mean, you know that?"

I shrugged.

"If it's a scary movie.... maybe I should be here. You know. Your shoulder to cry on, someone to protect you." his grin was quickly smothered by a pillow.

"Spock! You get him out of here!"

Spock appeared at the top of the landing and he tilted his head slightly, "Is something wrong?"

"You. Two. Out. Don't come back until the movie's over. Got it?"

"Car..." Kirk began.

"Take mine!" the words were barely out of my mouth before Kirk had jumped up and grabbed the keys and Spock had ran down the stairs, jumping the last three.  Kirk gave a little wave and they slammed the door quickly.

"What was that?"  Katie turned and asked me.

I rolled my eyes. "Captain James T. Kirk and his brilliant first officer who couldn't wait for their chance to escape."
