moments flare out with love, love, love

So, I'm rather sad about Patrick Swayze and Keith Floyd. Both rather iconic men that I've always enjoyed watching in their respective fields.

I'm tempted to try to make homemade ravioli while I watch Point Break this evening.

I'm also kind of needing a little kick in the pants regarding writing.

So, I'm asking for prompts! McCoy/Chapel related prompts. Give me a word, a phrase, a situation and I'll write 100 words for it in the comments.

Hit me!

Doctor Who?

[seren-ccd.livejournal.com]

Umm, this got away from me.

Christine cocked her head to the side. "What the heck is a Police Information Box?"

"Beats the hell out of me," McCoy said. "What I want to know is: how did it end up in my sickbay when it wasn't here this morning?"

The doctor and nurse studied the large blue box. McCoy walked around it once and came back to stand beside Christine.

"Maybe it's a prank," she offered. "I don't think the captain's forgiven you yet for the hypospray incident of last week."

"Jim's not one to hold a grudge for that long," he said. "Maybe we should call--"

Suddenly the door opened and a man in a brown pin-stripe suit came out. "Hello! You don't by any chance know if we're in orbit around Planet Cruxatia? I think the old girl may have blown us off course a tad."

Christine's eyes widened and her jaw dropped. McCoy just yelled, "Who the hell are you? And what are you doing in my sickbay?"

"Oh, I'm the Doctor," the man said with a cheerful smile. "Didn't mean to impose."

"You're the-- What? Doctor who?" McCoy asked.

"Hello!" The man waved.

"I think we should call Security," Christine murmured.

"Oh, you don't need to call anyone on my account. Say!" the man looked around and then grinned. "I know this ship. This is the USS Enterprise! Oh, I haven't seen her in years! You're McCoy! Dr Leonard McCoy. Oh, it is great to see you!"

The 'Doctor' stepped forward and before McCoy knew what he was doing, his hand was being shaken vigorously by the other man. "We've met?"

"Oh, not yet, but we will," the Doctor said. "You do some incredible things, Dr McCoy. You create the best vaccine I've ever encountered against Andorian shingles. Flawless, it's your masterpiece!"

"Hunh," was all McCoy was capable of.

"Oh and Mrs McCoy!" the Doctor said to Christine. "The things you do to further the field of endocrinology are just breathtaking!"

"I'm sorry, I'm not--" Christine said.

"Oh, right! Sorry. Dr McCoy," the Doctor said. "Dr-Mrs McCoy."

"No, I mean, I'm not Dr McCoy," she said.

The Doctor looked confused and he glanced at McCoy who was looking extremely bewildered. And a little pink.

"You're not Christine McCoy?" the Doctor asked running a hand through his hair.

"No," Christine said slowly. "I'm Christine Chapel. Nurse Christine Chapel."

"Ah," the Doctor said. Christine suddenly realized what the man had implied and felt her face flush. "Right, I think I'm more off course than I thought, what year is it?"

"What year? 2261," McCoy said.

"Oops, right. Well, sorry about that, must be off, I think I left the kettle on," the Doctor said. He smiled again. "It was lovely to see you again though. Good luck with the Klingons!"

"Wait! Hey!" McCoy shouted, but the Doctor hopped back inside the blue box. A loud whirring, grinding sound started and the box just disappeared.

They stood in silence. Christine opened her mouth to say something and then thought better of it and closed her mouth.

"Should we just chalk this up to another one of those things that didn't actually happen?" McCoy asked.

"That's probably for the best," Christine said.

They just stood there for a few minutes before McCoy finally said, "It has a nice ring to it."

"What does?" Christine asked.

"Dr McCoy."

"That's because it's your name," she said.

"No, I meant, Dr-Mrs-- Never mind," he said. "I'm going to find Scotty and drink something."

"Right," Christine said as she watched him head out of sickbay to the turbolift. She rolled her eyes and berated herself internally, but still went into the hallway and called out before the doors of the lift closed, "It didn't have a bad ring to it."

She saw him grin right before the doors shut.

This was fabulous! I think these were my favourite lines:

Thanks! This is really helping actually. I'm going to try to get to them all tonight (after I make dinner). I've got plans that might involve two of yours in one... Someone is definitely going to lose a shirt in the process.

Yay! That can be my reward. I lost 4lb this week!

!!!! Oh, my heart, this is lovely! I mean, the Doctor is just spot-on, his voice is fantastic, but you have to know you just slayed my shippy little heart dead with that ♥

Hee! I hoped you'd approve! Ten's a little hard to write, I didn't want to make him a complete spaz, just cheerful! I'm really happy you liked it! :D

Yep!

Hee! I think this kind of thing happens a lot onboard.
