Pairing: K/S implied, no sex or erotica though. Deal.

no money being made, blahdeblah. Contains lots of words and
gratuitious singing imagined. Do not administer to small children

Use at own risk. Do not taunt or annoy. Formatting sucks. Deal with

Scene: Admiral Kirk and crew have beamed down to Genesis planet. Kirk is standing apart from his crew, there's a Klingon on the horizon, and McCoy is seated,on a rock, dejected that no one is listening to his advice, as usual.
(Kirk, looking at flames beginning to break out of ground, sings. )
"I touch the fire and it freezes me.
I look into it and it's black.
Why can't I feel? My skin should crack and peel!
I want the fire back!
"Now through the smoke Spock calls to me,
to make my way across the flame. To save the day
Or maybe melt away.
I guess it's all the same!
So I will walk through the fire,
Cause where else can I turn?
I will walk through the fire and let it ..."
(McCoy breaks in:)
"The torch I bear it's scorchin' me
Spock is laughing I've no doubt
I hope they fry-I'm free if they both die!"
(Gets up and starts walking toward Kirk, anger gone)
"I'd better help them out!"
(The Klingon, over the hill:)
"Cause he is drawn to the fire
(Both McCoy and Klingon simulaneously sing:)
Klingon: "Some people never learn
McCoy: He will never learn
And he will walk through the fire and let it ..."
Scotty:" Is my Enterprise in danger?
"Will this thing turn out to change her?
" Is the Admiral too far gone to care?"
Sulu: "What if the Admiral can't defeat it?"
Chekov: "Slanted eyes is right, ve're needed!
Or ve could just sit around and glare."
Crew:" We'll see it through, it's what we're always here to do,
So we will walk through the fire."
Kirk: "So one by one they turn from me.
I guess my friends can't face the cold.
But why I froze not one among them knows,"
Uhura: (over Kirk) "What can't we face, "
Kirk "And never can be told!"
Uhura: "If we're together?"
McCoy: "Spock came from the grave much graver"
Klingon (simultaneously)" So one by one they come to me"
McCoy: " First he'll kill them, then I'll save them! "
Klingon: (simultaneously) "The distant redness as their guide"
Uhura: (simultaneously)" Everything is turning out so dark!'
Kirk (simultaneously)" Going through the motions!"
Klingon:(simultaneously)" Ain't what they had in mind!"
McCoy: (simultaneiously)" No, I'll save them, then I'll kill them!"
Saavik:(plaintively)" I think this line is mostly fill-in!"
Scotty: (simultaneously)" Enterprise's dying strikes the spark!
Kirk: "These endless days are finally ending in a blaze!"
Klingon: (simultaneously) "And he will come to me-ee!"
All: "And we are caught in the fire,
The point of no return.
So we will walk through the fire,
And let it bu-rn!
Let it b-u-r-n!
Let it burn!"
(They walk together, singing, Kirk checking Spock's prone body for life
as they reach
the Klingon. )
Klingon, spoken: "SHOWTIME!"
