Here’s a bonus flash…look for regular flashes to reappear MWF of next week
“So, I’ve decided to resign my commission and retire to Risa,” Jim announced to his senior officers during a briefing on the recently completed mission. He’d risen to give his speech.
“Sir?” Sulu asked, frowning.
“I know it’s a big shock, but I’ve actually been thinking about it for a while.” Jim glanced at Spock, who sat nearby, blank-faced. “Probably a good time to tell you Spock and I got married two months ago too. So he’s coming with me. As to who will be captain–”
Everyone began to talk at once, so many in fact Jim couldn’t make out who was saying what.
“I knew it! You owe me fifty credits.”
“It’s about time.”
“I thought they were never going to get around to it.”
“I thought the idiots weren’t even at the point where they realized it themselves.”
Okay, that was Bones.
Jim sat back down and glanced at Spock. His first officer was looking very concerned. Jim figured he looked the same.
“At what point do I say April Fools?”

Bwhahahaha! OMG, this is hilarious. And adorable. The “usual” would be that the crew is “calling” his april fool by putting one on them…but I love this so much more. Guess Jim (and Spock) need to consider why the crew is not surprised here.
Love it!

I knew from the first sentence.
Still, I think the joke was on Jim from all the conversations around them! I’d pay to see his face.
Ok, who am I kidding? I ALWAYS pay to see his face.
But still, this face would be adorably stunned, as now he can’t even get a word in edgewise to tell them it was a joke. This is GREAT!

I believe Jim and Spock need to have an extended private conversation about the meaning of what just happened here. Their entire crew can’t be that wrong about their assumptions that they were going to be together!
I wonder did Jim let Spock in on the joke beforehand? I’m thinking he did and Spock just stoically went along with it.
Lol! Very cute! ❤️💚😘🖖

Yes I wrote it in mind that Spock was in on the joke
