"My God, Elizabeth! What the hell are you doing here?" Bones asked his sister gawking at her as though he had never seen her before.
Elizabeth giggled. "I work here. Surprise!" She lifted her hands about her head, as if to say ta'da. She then walked over to her elder brother, who stood a good head height over her, and wrapped her arms around him in a hug.
Jim wasn't sure of what surprised him more, the fact that Bones had a sister, that a member of Bones's immediate family was hot or that his moody ass of a best friend was hugging this young woman back. Jim cleared his throat, causing the alleged siblings to break away, both of them smiling like idiots.
"My God Lizzie, I haven't seen you in so long. Why?" Bones queried in a demanding way, that still held a soft edge to it.
Elizabeth couldn't help but grin at her older brother. "I've been about. Travelling the universe, practicing my craft, getting into a little bit of trouble here and there; you know just the usual stuff. And as you can tell by the fact this is my mess hall now, I'm quite good at what I do. Told you I'd get on just fine without going to medical school, Mr Doctor." She was teasing him now.
Bones laughed at this comment, before realising that he had yet to introduce Elizabeth to their present company. Clearing his throat, Bones continued, "Jim, Spock, this delightful young lady here, is my dear baby sister Elizabeth McCoy."
Jim stepped forwards offering his hand to Elizabeth. "It is a pleasure to meet you Elizabeth, and may I just say you are far more attractive than your brother here."
Elizabeth giggled at the Capitan's comment and straight out laughed when her brother cuffed him over the back of his head for his trouble. "No sir, the pleasure is all mine. Working here, it's like a dream come true for me. I get to make people happy with the food I cook. I have to say though; the guy I replaced left this place in a right awful state. I've never seen such a mess. And I've never seen a kitchen so reliant on that new replicator technology, well not any more Sir. I will not have replicated food pass through my mess hall, Officers deserve better than that."
Jim liked her already, she was beautiful, smart and apparently she could cook. He couldn't help but wonder if Bones would let him ask her out. And she was right; their previous chef had been dreadful.
"Please Elizabeth, call me Jim. You are not a member of my crew and are not required to be so formal with me."
Elizabeth flashed him that stunning smile again before she turned towards Commander Spock. She continued to initiate the Vulcan salute, the traditional greeting for his people.
This too Spock by surprise, though he didn't show it as he responded. Spock had spent the past few moments studying the younger McCoy. Jim was correct when he had stated she was far more attractive than her brother, Spock found himself drawn to her, but he could not understand why. After lowering his hand he addressed the woman for the first time vocally, "Miss McCoy, as the Capitan has already stated, it is indeed a pleasure to make your acquaintance."
Smiling Elizabeth shook her head, "No please Commander Spock, the pleasure is, once again, all mine. And please I insist, call me Elizabeth or Lizzie, Miss McCoy is our 65 year old aunt, isn't she Len?" She let out an enchanting laugh, at what was clearly some private family joke. "So Gentlemen, if you all would be so kind as to take a seat, I will make sure your meal arrives in due course. Your three are some of the last to dinner this evening. Just so you guys know, tonight's theme for the menu is good old southern cooking. But you knew that already didn't you Len?"
Smiling again she turned and walked towards the galley door. As she walked away, Jim couldn't help but notice the way she swayed her hips as she walked, it was like she was moving to her own internal beat. Unfortunately for Jim it looked like he was staring at her ass, which he technically was, and he again received a prompt swat on the back of his head from Bones. Frowning, and rubbing the back of his, now sore head, Jim frowned at his friend and was met with a glare from Bones.
Making it over to the table Elizabeth had pointed out to them, the three men sat down. Jim looked expectantly at Bones for several minuets before speaking. "So when were you going to mention that you had a sister? I've know you for how long, and you've never mentioned her once."
"And you wonder why? Jim you meet a pretty girl and you're interested for a while, but as soon as you get what you want, you drop her. I will not have you do that to my baby sister, hell I'd rather see Spock pursue her than you. And anyway, no one in the family knew where she was for the past six years; she went out travelling and only checked in from time to time. Last I knew she was on Betazed."
"Do you really think that little of me Bones?" The tone of Jim's voice was shocked and clearly slightly hurt at the comments just made to him.
"When it comes to the fairer sex? Yes. Just look at your track record Jim." Bones fixed his friend with a hard stare. "How many women have you loved and left? When it comes to my little sister Jim, unless she shows an interest in you first, she is completely off limits to you. And if you value our friendship at all, you'll respect my wishes. I've seen her hurt too many times to blatantly let it happen again."
Jim sighed in defeat, knowing that what Bones was saying was right and, in all honesty, fair. He did have a bit of an extensive track record, he was known throughout his days at the academy as a bit of a maverick in the ways of love and romance.
Having watched the exchange between the Capitan and the Doctor, Spock found himself fascinated. He had never noticed the protective side of Dr McCoy before; then again, the Doctor had never had a reason to be protective before. Yet when it was mentioned that McCoy would rather see Spock himself attempt to pursue Elizabeth, Spock felt an odd sense of elation. True, Elizabeth was by no means the ideal woman in a typical Vulcan sense. The logical Vulcan mate was tall with strong features, pristine in her appearance and possessed a soundly logical mind; essentially the polar opposite to Elizabeth appeared to be. She was short, even for a human, her hair had an unruliness about it that suggested she had stopped attempting to tame it some time ago, and she was also extremely forthcoming with her emotions. All of these aspects should have, for lack of a better word, repulsed him. And yet Spock found himself intrigued by this woman.
Spock remained in a state of deep thought, that is until a bowl was placed in front of him. He glanced down at the bowl with interest; he found it curious that it appeared to be a form Plomeek broth.
"It's my own take on a Vulcan classic, Plomeek soup." Elizabeth stated from above him, she sounded nervous. "It's not as bland is it would be on Vulcan, but it's similar."
'My assessment was correct.' Spock thought as he met the eyes of the woman, who quickly becoming a serious point of interest to him. She was an anomaly; one that required further study and analysis.
"May I inquire, Miss McCoy, as to where you learned how to make this particular dish? It is my understanding that it is exceptionally difficult to prepare." Spock asked, still maintaining eye contact.
"Mr Spock, please call me Elizabeth. And I learned how to prepare and serve Vulcan cuisine, to an exceptionally high standard, if I may be so bold, when I spent a considerable amount of time on Vulcan working in the kitchens of T'sai T'Pau six years ago. Plus I had a feeling that you wouldn't agree with the theme for tonight's menu, as far as I'm aware all Vulcan's are vegetarian are they not?"
Spock confirmed her statement with a slight movement of his head. She turned to leave the table, but Spock prevented her in doing so by asking, "Please, Elizabeth, inform me that you did not, in the colloquial terminology, go out of your way for my benefit." Although he silently was hoping that she had. For what reason he had hoped this, he knew not.
Smiling whilst shaking her head Elizabeth responded, "No Mr Spock, I myself became rather fond of Plomeek soup during my time on Vulcan. Being on board this ship with you here gives me an excuse to make Vulcan Cuisine, so for that I thank you. And from what I can tell from most of my new patrons, they are firmly in the omnivore category. So I'll get to practice my Vulcan cooking skills on you." She winked at him.

"Now if you three would be kind enough to excuse me, I have to go and rescue something from the oven." She flashed the table another smile before disappearing into the galley once more.
