giant collar. Where's the nearest Petco?"

Spock

 

consulted the ship's databanks. "According to the

 

records, that franchise went out of business

 

in 2154, after the Xindi destroyed their

 

corporate headquaters."

"Any alternatives?"

"There's Petcon..."

"PET-CONNNNN!!!

 

Kirk shouted, as if a strange force

 

had gripped his hindbrain in its terrible

 

grasp. A grip so strong that unless

 

Spock could use a mind meld to

 

become Kirk's bondmate, his brain would be

 

reduced to a putty-like substance concerned

 

only with petting the giant Klingkitty.

Spock's

 

pocket pager suddenly went off, which meant

 

his secret other family needed him.

"Damn.

 

I have to go...anybody got a

 

ticket to ride?"

"I've got a ticket

 

to ride, but I don't care!" Kirk

 

said. "I've got five secret families and

 

a crippling 2,000-a-day Klingon Firestik addiction.

 

No problems of yours compare."
