It was published in the print zine Matter/Antimatter #10.

Summary

"McCoy makes it a crowd when he has to double up with Kirk and Spock when all three are stranded planetside."

Reactions and Reviews

This brought a ready smile. Contrasting McCoy's speculations with the 'real' events is a novel approach. The story captured the closeness among the three, while showing that the trio needed to adjust to the new relationship between Kirk and Spock.

For me, the story was a bit flat as there wasn't enough of a conflict for the events to revolve around. It also made me a little uncomfortable, perhaps became, as Kirk said on p. 60, 'We really shouldn't have done that to Bones." Both the coverup, and later the 'proof of their activities, were carried out with such a deliberate air that felt uneasy about the morals involved. Besides, if Kirk and Spock were really that anxious to be alone tofether, I don't think they would have been so concerned with fooling McCoy.
