FRINGES: ONE OF THOSE DAYS - PART 5
"Is your friend okay?"
Uhura glanced up from the box of fresh donuts they had been sent to fetch.
"Tony?"
Peter grinned. "You have to ask which one I'm talking about?"
"Sometimes," she admitted. "The Doctor's wardrobe tends to send the wrong signal sometimes."
"I can imagine."
Uhura smiled. "No, I don't think you can."
"That never happens with you, though. Does it?"
She chuckled. It was a surprisingly earthy sound. "Sometimes my wardrobe sends out quite a different signal."
Peter let his gaze sweep across Uhura. She wore a green lace blouse, black leather skirt, and knee-high black leather boots. It showed off her legs to amazing effect. He wondered if they were as smooth as they looked? Then, he pushed the thought aside.
"But your friend."
"Tony." Uhura's face clouded over for a moment. "He has agoraphobia, but he's fine."
"He's a physicist?"
Uhura nodded. "One of the best, according to the Doctor."
"And was he agoraphobic before he joined UNIT?"
She made chiding noises. "Not very subtle, Peter. And you were doing so well."
He grinned at her. "You can't blame us for being . . . curious."
"No," Uhura admitted. "But it's true what they say, Peter. Curiosity can kill the cat."
Peter frowned. "Is that a threat?"
"No," said Uhura. "Just the truth."
They finished the rest of the walk back to the lab in silence.

Whatwhatwhat???
You know nothing about Doctor Who?!? But, this must be remedied at once!
Also, this Uhura is Uhura from ST: TOS not NuTrek. TOS Uhura rocks my socks. :D
