Summary: Kirk schools Chekov in the fine art of lady-wooing
Author Note: so these weren't written for this particular challenge of "lady" although, I think in a way they all fit it. A 4 part drabble series, each 100 words.
Crosspost: all over the place, although this is the only place they're all together
"All right, now the trick is to be confident. You can't show any weaknesses. Women hate to make the first move. You've got to pursue them. Understand?"
"Aye Keptin." There's a beat of silence. "Keptin, how do I do this?"
"You don't take no for an answer. You've got to be persistent, but you can't be aggressive. The first step is to make a girl smile."
"Make smile. Da."
"Right. Now that part's pretty easy. What you do is..."
Bones rolled his eyes. This was not exactly what he'd meant when he'd told Jim to take Chekov under his wing..
-----------------------
He is nervous. This is his first test. It's his first chance to prove himself.
It's time to show how much he's learned. It's his opportunity to prove to the Captain that he was right in taking him on; that he can do this.
The Captain has faith in him. He must live up to that faith.
Pavel Chekov looks around the bar and screws up his courage. He throws back his shot of vodka, turns and walks slowly towards the pretty girl in the corner. As he walks, he reviews what he's learned. "Must make smile, must make smile...".
---------------------
"Ensign Chekov! How was your night?"
"It was not so good Keptin."
"So I see. What the hell happened?"
"I speak with pretty lady. She was very nice."
"That doesn't sound bad."
"Da. But, the lady, she had boyfriend. He was not so happy with me."
"Ah, I see. Did you see Bones yet? You look like you got hit by a chair."
"Aye Keptin. Two of them."
"Two of them? Must have been some boyfriend."
"Da. He had friends. They were very happy to help."
"Sounds familiar. Didn't anything go right?"
"Aye Keptin. I made her smile."
"Good man!".
-----------------------------
The bright light through the window wakes him up. He groans and tries to sit up, but a weight on his chest holds him down. Memories flood his mind from the night before, fuzzy as they are, as he stares at the woman currently using him as a pillow. He'd been successful!
The next step, the Captain said, was to evacuate the premises. Bonus points if he got out before she was awake.
He hesitates for a brief moment, considering, then he sighs and settles back down. The Captain is right about a lot. But not, he thinks, about this.
