Of the many strange occurrences she could attribute to the community, Scotty being transformed into a woman definitely ranked among the top few. Of course, there was no way to be sure that it was community-related, but it seemed likely given that they'd encountered nothing in their universe that seemed to explain it.

She knew he was extremely distressed by the situation, but it was still a little comical. She just had to keep reminding herself that he was still Scotty, and certain areas of conversation were always going to be awkward, no matter what genders they were.

But she wasn't going to leave him to face his transformation alone, so she packed up what she saw as the essentials and walked to his quarters, ringing the com when she arrived.

"Right. I believe that." He stretched a bit, grabbed some more popcorn. "Have I even got enough pillows for a pillow fight? I'm pretty sure I've only got the one."

She glanced around his quarters, frowning slightly in thought. "We can use the sofa cushions."

[reversedpolarity]

"You're kiddin'." Another handful of popcorn, and he flicked a piece at her, grinning. "I'm not goin' t'let you smack me around with a cushion, love."

She chuckled when he flicked the popcorn at her. "Oh, come on, it'd be fun," she protested, not really expecting him to agree. "I'm going to tell people it happened anyway."

[reversedpolarity]

"Right, they'll believe that. 'Aye, so the other day, I went t'visit Scotty an' I braided his hair an' painted his nails an' we had a pillow fight'. Y'know no one but you an' the rest o' whoever's on the community don't actually know this's happened, right?" Not that he thought she was serious about going around and telling people that it happened.

"Oh, I have my ways of convincing them," she teased, though she had no intentions of sharing this with anyone. His question did give her pause, however. "You haven't told anyone else on the ship about this?"

[reversedpolarity]

"Not yet. I figure if it lasts past shore leave, well. Then I might have t'say something about it, but if it doesn't..." He shrugged. "No harm in no one knowin'."

[nyota-uhura24.livejournal.com]

"True," she agreed, taking another handful of popcorn. "So if you're really against the pillow fight, what do you say to the sappy movie?"

[reversedpolarity]

"Which one did you have in mind?" Just as long as it wasn't anything too sappy, he was pretty sure he'd be okay with whatever she picked out.

[nyota-uhura24.livejournal.com]

"Let's see, the perfect sappy movie..." She grinned at him and then announced, "Hot Fuzz."

[reversedpolarity]

He raised an eyebrow, before asking, "An' what's that, exactly?" In his personal opinion, it sounded like the title to something a bit explicit, but he was pretty sure there was no way in hell Uhura would suggest something like that.

[nyota-uhura24.livejournal.com]

"It's a 21st century action film that's supposedly hilarious. I heard about it through the community," she replied innocently, decidedly not mentioning that the star apparently looked exactly like Scotty - when he was male, anyway.

[reversedpolarity]

He shrugged, grinning, and replied, "Alright, you had me at action film. We'll give it a go, aye?"

[nyota-uhura24.livejournal.com]

"Wonderful," she replied, calling up the movie so it would be projected on the wall of her quarters. Then she settled comfortably in her corner of the couch and reached for another handful of popcorn.

[reversedpolarity]

Scotty wasn't entirely sure what to expect. But the movie really wasn't all that bad, for a 21st-century film, though for some reason he couldn't quite put his finger on, the main character seemed kind of familiar...

[nyota-uhura24.livejournal.com]

Nyota's silence only lasted a few minutes into the movie. "Scotty... Doesn't that Sergeant Angel looks exactly like you? It's uncanny." She'd heard about the resemblance from people on the community, but this was absurd.

[reversedpolarity]

"I... don't really see it, love." And he really didn't. Okay, so there were a few similarities, but that didn't mean anything.

[nyota-uhura24.livejournal.com]

"I bet if the two of you stood next to each other and dressed the same I wouldn't be able to tell you apart." She looked back and forth between Scotty and the screen, though it was hard to tell now that he was physically female.

[reversedpolarity]

"Find me a twenty-first century copper uniform an' we'll test that theory then, aye?" he asked, his tone wry. Really. He didn't see the resemblance at all.

[nyota-uhura24.livejournal.com]

"Oh believe me, I intend to. I'm going to take a hollow image of you and juxtapose it with the actor who plays Angel, and then you'll see." Nyota was completely confident that he would.

[reversedpolarity]

"You're actually honestly going t'get me a copper uniform just so you can prove this." He wasn't entirely sure he believed her. For one thing, where would she even get the uniform?

[nyota-uhura24.livejournal.com]

She considered for a moment, tapping her lips with a finger. "Yes, I am. I have my way of requisitioning such things," she added cryptically.

[reversedpolarity]

"I don't even want t'know." Well, he sort of did. Sort of. But he wasn't entirely sure he was going to like whatever her methods were.

[nyota-uhura24.livejournal.com]

"You'll find out soon enough," she replied airily, reaching for another handful of popcorn and settling deeper into her corner of the couch.

[reversedpolarity]

He just shook his head, and returned his attention to the movie, although by this point he thought he'd missed a few important bits. Oh well. He'd just have to hope it wasn't too hard to follow.
