Chapter 5

Kirk dashed into the transporter room. He was running so fast that the doors almost did not have a chance to open for him. He entered to room and slid across the floor. He looked up, out of breath.

Margret stared at the captain, shock on her face. "What the hell are you doing in here?! You're supposed to be on the Bridge! The Enterprise is on red alert and needs it's captain!"

"Yeah. A captain. Not me. And for the time being Mc- Spock, who ever the hell he is, has the con."

"McCoy in charge of a crisis? Damn..." Margret muttered to herself. "I want you to get back up th-" She was interrupted.

"No. You need to be up there. The pretty lady that we're flying in, needs you. If you don't get up there and do your job, you're going to lose the best damn ship in the fleet, and one hell of a crew. The Enterprise needs you to run her, and I need to be in engineering. I'm sure Mr. Scott needs all the help he can get, and I'm an engineering, not someone with the ability to take charge." Kirk said, staring at Margret. Hoping to get through. Margret nodded.

"You make a point." With that Margret ran out of the room, leaving Kirk standing there alone. He then ran down to engineering, reported to Scotty, he could not help but smile to be home again, then set to work. He got odd looks from the crew, but he did not care. The purr of the engine made him happy.

On the way to the Bridge, Margret stopped and pulled McCoy out of Sickbay, doing so she gained a bunch of unpleasant words from Nurse Chapel. Most of which she did not hear. She ran down the hall and shoved McCoy into the Turbo Lift, grabbed the handle and said, "Bridge".

"This is illogical. Pulling the doctor way from the injured in the middle of an attack." McCoy spoke.

"I agree. But you aren't the doctor. You're a second in command science officer, who also happens to be a Vulcan who is more human then he would like to admit. The doctor is a southern man, who is always grumbling." Margret said. "I think it's about time we return to those roles. What do you think...Mr. Spock?"

"I believe that is a most logical idea captain." McCoy said, letting the comment about him being human slide.

"Glad to know we're on the same page." Margret said with a smile, stepping off the Turbo Lift and onto the Bridge. "McCoy. You're needed in Sickbay, just be pre-warned, your head nurse is in a bad mood. "

"Will do!" Spock jumped out of the captain's chair with a smile. "Finally. You've got some common sense." Spock said has he ran off the bridge.

Margret walked over and sat down in the captain's chair. Smiling a bit. Well until Sulu turned around and saw her sitting in the chair.

"Ma'am. You can't be sitting there. that is for the captain or the person in charge only." Sulu said.

"I am the captain, we had a malfunction with the transporter last time we went on a landing party and switched bodies."

"This is true." McCoy chimed in. Taking his spot on the right side of where Margret is sitting.

"Believe me or not. But listen to me. I'm the Enterprise's survival."
