Rating: This part, maybe PG-13
Warnings: God, where do I start? Cliche. Excessive use of period slang. First person voice with Holden Caulfield syndrome. Obsession with fast cars. General ridiculousness.
Summary: America in the 50s: the best of times, the worst of times. Add Bill, Len, De, a car and a secret. De wants to know what’s going on.
Disclaimer: Obviously never happened!

Looking at his permanent record, you’d be damn lucky if you could find an empty space to put your stamp without obscuring some facet of his demigodhood. Captain of first-string football, obviously. Honor roll student. Ranked first in his class in Lit and Spanish and half a dozen other things, and - although it doesn’t say this on his record - you can take it from me, he never lifted a finger to study. Recordwise, Billy Shatner is the goddamn American dream.

Off the record, there’s still not a speck on this cat’s shine. Good-looking, undoubtedly, with the kind of face guys respect and girls go crazy for. Great threads. Great car. It’s a ‘55 Chevy, bright blood red, and he got it for nothing ‘cause he works in his uncle’s garage in the evenings, poking the undersides of cars until they run again. That Chevy was a wreck when he got her, and he fixed her up with the kind of care you’d show a little girl. She’s his pride and joy, and of course, all the chicks want a ride in her. Result is, Billy gets a ride on all the chicks. That’s just the kind of luck this guy has. And the worst of it is, apart from a general assumption that he’s can be pretty damn arrogant when he feels like it, people like him. Not only is he incredibly good looking, talented, dextrous, clever and charming, he is also - drum roll, please - pretty much a nice guy.

Bet you hate him, don’t you? That’s the thing - you met him, you wouldn’t. I mean, he can be a little oblivious, sure, and that rubs some people up the wrong way, but you just gotta realise he doesn’t mean anything by his bullshit; there’s no malice in him. You met him with an open mind, and he’d just grin his hundred-watt grin at you, and call you ‘buddy’, and you’d be lost. Trust me. I know.

Nothing gets under Billy’s skin. Everybody knows that.

This is the story of what happened when something did.

Okay, so I wanted to quote all of this, but I resisted; because ALL OF YOU SHOULD GO READ IT. Seriously: Shatner and Nimoy as seniors in high school in the fifties, making out on the beach, and not knowing WHAT THE FUCK TO DO WITH THEMSELVES, because (as some of us queers might remember) it was illegal back then, and damn if they knew what they wanted.

Lots of marvelous teenage angst, but also a lot of honest heart and sarcasm; to the point where I feel like I have to go to bed early and be in homeroom tomorrow. Just - brilliant.

GO READ IT. Even if you don’t like RPS. You might surprise yourself.

Karl went an interesting shade of red. “It wasn’t like that - I mean, it didn’t feel like I dreamed him. He looked different, he acted different. We were in a garden I’d never seen before, and there was a tortoise. Does that mean they have tortoises in heaven?”

Bill was already prepped to fend off Leonard’s fierce ‘I-told-you-so’ look. He stubbornly maintained that tortoises were myths and Myrtle had, in fact, been a turtle. It rhymed with her name! Of course it was true!

Leonard’s voice was dry as the Vulcan desert when he responded. “No. What you were seeing was De’s garden. And his tortoise.”

“Turtle,” Bill put in, unable to help himself.

“Actually,” Karl tried to add, “it was definitely a tortoise - you can tell from the legs - “

But Bill and Leonard were ignoring him to glare daggers at each other, because obviously this was Their Fight and Who Are You To Know Anything, Anyway. Bill let Leonard win. He was feeling magnanimous, today.

OH. MY. GODS. If you guys don’t read this, I’m seriously disowning the lot of you. For real.

I’m not sure if fanfic is suppose to be this awesome. I’m - ajdjsfksaasdhfs - JUST GO READ IT. NOW.
