Star Trek XI, Outtake: "Running Mate," Kirk, McCoy, Spock, G

This is a little "outtake" from the Political AU featured in "Maybe In Another Lifetime." I don't think I need to warn for anything -- it's just a goofy little drabble.



"Jim... I'm concerned about your VP choice."

"Why? He's perfect. He's got more policy-making experience than me, his UN background is a great counterpoint to my military background, he knows everything and never says the wrong word, and he'll reassure the people who think I'm too young and reckless for the job."

"I know, it's just... don't you think he seems a little wooden?"

"What are you talking about? He's just reserved, that's all. Again, a perfect counterpoint. That's strategy for you, strange bedfellows and all."

"Jim... are you near a computer right now?"

"No, I'm in the car, but I've got the crackberry with me."

"I need you to go to MSNBC.com and load the pictures from his press conference."

"Okay... not seeing the problem..."

"Scroll down to the one where he's holding the baby... and zoom in on his face."

"Oh. Oh. Yeah, I think I'm starting to see what you mean."

I lol'd irl. Would lol again. Fanart=win.

I didn't notice the fic you linked to; am off for reading purposes.

(BTW: I liked the 'crackberry'; reminded me of the news piece where Obama was all said that they took his away when he became President.)
