Pike had served with both Una and Boyce for far to long to not have a long running list of stupid things they had done to one another. Spock had yet to be dragged into it all, he was to young and logical and the three of them had somehow decided he would enter into their shenanigans if and when he felt ready. The rest of his crew? They had a running pool on such incidents. Not that of course, he was at all aware of such things.

The laugh though, that's what he had been after from sharing the story. Break the ice so to speak and really to stop dwelling on things that were different. "I would say I didn't. Not at least the consequent negotiations while I was hungover and she was allowed to stay on the ship with all the knowledge of what we had discussed the night before." Lesson learned: Don't piss off Number One. Not that he hadn't known it already, but the lesson was always, always better relearned.
