Challenge:. Write a Spock/Chapel story of a page
or less, ALL dialogue and nothing but dialogue, that somewhere contains the
titles of three current--which I appear to define as "within my
lifetime"-- TV shows.
"I don't believe this! I'm telling you,
Spock, you are going the wrong way!"
"I am not going in the wrong direction,
Christine."
"You are...you were about to say *am
not* weren't you?"
"I would not say that."
"Yeah, just like you would not take a
wrong turn. I'm in a shuttle with the only Vulcan to get lost in space."
"We are not lost."
"So where are we?"
"We are at the outer limits of the Orion
cluster. Exactly where we planned to be."
"Uh huh."
"You do not believe me?"
"Nope."
"I will prove it to you."
"How?"
"Do you see that planet ahead?"
"Yes."
"Scan it."
"Ok. Now what?"
"There is a unique mountain formation,
do you see it?"
"I see twin peaks if that's what you
mean?"
"That is precisely what I mean."
"What was that?"
"That sound?"
"Yes that sound, what was
it."
"Our rear thruster has malfunctioned. Attempting to compensate. Brace yourself, we are going
down."
"Oof, rough
landing, Spock."
"Yes, the loss of the thruster made it
impossible to put the shuttle down softly. Our communicator was damaged. I am
detecting a dwelling about a mile from here. It is conceivable that they will
have a communicator. I will go check. It is raining. Stay here where it is
dry."
"I'm not letting you go alone, Spock.
Besides what if the owner of the house is a lovely woman who steals you away
from me?"
"Unlikely. However, if you intend to
accompany me then put a coat on."
"How much farther,
Spock? I'm cold and wet."
"As I suspected there is a light. It is
likely that they will have a communicator for us to use. Come up on the porch
out of the rain. I'm not sure anyone heard my knock, let me try again. Ah,the door is opening."
"Hello."
"I am hoping that you can help us. Our
shuttle has broken down about a mile from your house. Do you have a
communicator we might use?"
"You're wet."
"It is raining."
"Yes. I think perhaps you had better
both come inside."
"We hope we are not disturbing
you."
"You've arrived on a very special night.
It's one of the master's affairs."
