Honey, you've just made this little southern girl a very happy person. I gotta say, the first part would be my favorite just because it makes me think back to the Original series and that one episode (This side of paradise, I think?) where the crew gets infected with pollen and McCoy's accent turns thick. Darn, that gives me chills for some reason. I guess it's because he's from a different state, so it's different than what I hear.

but back to your fic, I loved all the endearments he kept dropping, because that is a habit of most people around here. I have a cousin (well, he's not really a cousin, but he's the nephew on one of my Dad's best friends, so close enough) that always picks on me because everybody's 'baby' or 'honey' or something like that.

Maybe I should say it's a tie for favorite because part four is awesome me in general (I love the idea of all of them thrown in jail together), but there are a few lines which I just really have to go with.

Kirk dabbed his fingers against his swollen lip, looking curiously at the blood on them. "Did you just call that guy a space Yankee?"
Never in my life did I think I'd ever call someone a Yankee. I'd heard my Grandpa call someone a Yankee, but it was a friend and it was teasing. But then I met this guy from Virginia and more than once I've thought 'is this what a Yankee's like?' I think that guy's spent more time in Ohio than is healthy. Anyway, the picture of Jim in my head saying that is funny, I can just picture it.

I'mma whoop his ass."
First off, I can't tell you how many times I've heard that. Secondly, I'd love to hear it from Bones.

I love how Bones is mentally calculating how much time he'll be spending on the couch and how he can change it. It's really... i guess I can say realistic, but that's not the right word. Him calling Pavel 'Pasha' is great, but I love Jim's reaction to it. It's that good old teasing and harrassing and all that. It's totally great.

Kirk, of course, didn't stop needling him until long after a yawning Sulu came and bailed them out.
Now I just like that line because it reminds me of the time my Mama came over at five in the morning because my aunt called her after being arrested, then we had to wait for the banks to open up so we could go bail her out.

*sigh* Good times, my dear, excellent story-telling, and amusing to me for a few personal reasons as you can tell. This has definitely earned a spot in my memories.

Aww, thank you! I'm really glad you enjoyed it!

I have to admit, calling people Yankees is one of my (many) bad habits. It's just... so fun to yell.

Honey, I just read it again - I more than just enjoy it.

Now, I never considered it polite, but I met that boy, and he was just so different. Of course, most of the people I know are from here, so I guess it's not hard to seem different to me. Not that it's bad, but it's just that some things about him really catch me offguard and the only word I can think of is yankee.
