~*~*~*~*~
Trip was walking down the deserted corridor of the Enterprise. After all, it was 0100 in the morning. He couldn�t sleep; just couldn�t get that image of Jon & T'Pol in the ready room out of his head. It didn�t help with the fact that Jon never gave him a reasonable explanation. The image kept playing in his mind over and over. So he figured a good work out will clear his mind.
When the door to the gym opened, Trip could not believe his eyes! �Not again!!!�
As Captain Archer was helping the Sub-Commander off the mat floor of the gym, Trip noticed they were both sweating. He also noticed that T'Pol�s workout shirt was hiked up just under her breast. This time, he decided to ask T'Pol, she wouldn�t lie; she�s a Vulcan after all. �T'Pol?�
�Yes, Commander?� she answered as though nothing unusual was going on. �What�s going on here?� He tried to keep the edge out of his voice.
T'Pol pulled down her top and calmly stated, �I needed assistance, and�.. Captain Archer was able to accomplish the task.� After she retrieved her towel on her way out, she touched Jonathan on the shoulder, �Thank you� Jonathan for your assistance.�
With a big smile, he answered �Anytime T'Pol. I�m glad I was here for you.�
Trip did not want to see or hear this� again. He could feel a major headache coming on. But he decided to ask his friend for explanation once again. �Jon?�
�I was just returning a favor. See you at breakfast.� Than he walked out of the gym.
While massaging his temple, Trip thought, why me?
