Authors Note: I wrote this 100 years ago. Seriously. Okay, not quite that long. But at least a year or more ago. I couldn't post it on fanfiction-dot-net (the place where I usually dump my creations) because of some rule they have about formatting. Basically I broke all the rules by writing it in script format and not punctuating correctly (though purposefully) so I guess I'll stick it here. Just in case someone out there cares.
Title: I honestly hadn't thought of one... at all. Call it: IMs from the COs
Summary: Just a glimpse at the messages our favorite duo share.
Warnings: None. I don't do slash, and I rarely swear. Although I'm good with euphemisms... especially colorful ones.

Time: 1200
Kirk: hey you busy?
Spock: I am currently in the Library doing research on the basic elements that form a Type-3 Nebula.
Kirk: boring. what for?
Spock: I must give a lecture to 23 entry-level students tomorrow at 0800
Kirk: ah how much data have you gathered?
Spock: There is still much I have left to analyze. If it would be possible for you to send me the Enterprise data records of the last Type-3 Nebula we encountered, it would be helpful as a visual aid in the lecture.
Kirk: np i’ll send it asap
Spock: “np” Captain?
Kirk: it’s another one of those acronyms. ‘no problem’ lolz
Spock: “lol” stands for “Laughing Out Loud” However, I have never understood your reasons for adding a “z”
Kirk: }:)
Spock: }:) ?
Kirk: look at it sideways
Spock: Is that supposed to represent a Klingon?
Kirk: *chokes on spit laughing* it’s a devilish grin!
Spock: I see, and I assume the use of an asterisk is meant to represent an action being taken rather than words being expressed.
Kirk: something like that yes
Spock: I see.
Kirk: }:|
Spock: Your devil is not grinning?
Kirk: It’s a Vulcan.
Spock: *raises eyebrow
Kirk: rotflol!
Spock: This discussion of acronyms and emoticons, though interesting, is hardly aiding in the completion of this lecture.
Kirk: sorry, just relaxing. it been a long week without you. i’ll go get the data for you and send it k?
Spock: Very well.
Kirk: chat l8r
Spock: Spock Out.
Spock has logged off.

1500 hours.
Kirk: hey sent ya the data
Spock: Received successfully. You are awake at a late hour, Captain.
Kirk: ya but can’t sleep. u nervous about tmw?
Spock: Nervousness is an emotion, Captain. However, I will be gratified when the lecture is over.
Kirk: u’ll be fine. i’ll be thinking of u tmw. might even im ya! see how u doing.
Spock: I am afraid I would not be able to send a long response as it would be considered rude to do so.
Kirk: we’ll see. goodnight.
Spock: Goodnight.

Time 0900
Kirk: ?
Spock: ok
Kirk: :)

Time: 1200
Kirk: hey, so everything went “ok”
Spock: Affirmative.
Kirk: good, now when do we get u back?
Spock: The Conference is scheduled to last 2 more days. I am obligated to remain until the last day.
Kirk: sigh
Spock: I should be back on the Enterprise in precisely 4 days 7 hours and 10 minutes.
Kirk: i guess i’ll live then :( wish u’d be here tmw tho.
Spock: Why?
Kirk: got an ambassador coming… a GLUS! i have to entertain him for 20 hrs until we dump him on a planet in the 6D40 sector.
Spock: I see. If memory serves, the Glus are a very entertainment oriented race. They also have special environmental needs.
Kirk: EXACTLY! first off he demanded that I entertain him... nobody else. then he demanded i do so in my own room!
Spock: Naturally you will have Security Personnel present.
Kirk: of course, but it still doesn’t change the fact that my quarters must be filled with 3 ft of goo.
Spock: Goo?
Kirk: some substance they need to be comfortable. environment issue. If u really want to know what it is u can look it up. i don’t want to know…
Spock: I don’t see how my presence on board the Enterprise would change that scenario.
Kirk: just would be nice to have u there sitting in goo too. at least i’d have another face to look at.
Spock: I regret being obligated in such a way that I am unable to assist you.
Kirk: :) that’s ok helps to gripe anyway
Spock: I must log off, Admiral Weston is here to discuss details of the Conference.
Kirk: k yak l8r bye :)
Spock: Goodbye

Kirk's Status: waste-deep in goo and ready to kill something
Spock: ?
Kirk: !
Spock: Another face to look at: }:|
Kirk: :D thanx
