(c) 1998 Jungle Kitty. Star Trek and its characters are the property of Paramount. This not-for-profit piece of fan fiction is not intended to infringe on that ownership. The author's copyright applies only to the creative content and her original characters.This story is one in a series about the relationship between James Kirk and Suzanne Brandt. It is #2 in the entire series, and part of the Academy Stories (2250-2254).This was written in response to a challenge for stories with an Easter theme. It occurs to me that not all of you may be familiar with peeps. Peeps are only available at Easter and are the lowest form of confection known to man. The inside is marshmallow. The outside is some sugary substance with a texture like velcro. When I was a kid, they were sickeningly bright yellow and shaped like chicks, with a hard black dot for the eye. Now they come in different colors and shapes. They are nasty, nasty, nasty.And to all the peeps freaks, I say... For God's sake, seek professional help.
