AN: So this chapter is basically just the introduction. Don't worry, they will get a little longer! You know the drill folks, reviews=rainbow puppies etc. Basically I'd just really welcome some critique on my writing style since I'm really looking to improve.

Disclaimer: If I owned Star Trek, trust me, you'd be able to tell. I also don't own any of the songs I've used as inspiration.


CHAPTER ONE: We Are Going To Be Friends- The White Stripes.

Their friendship started quietly, as all the best ones do. They had gravitated toward each other, that first day at the academy, for reasons that neither of them had ever fully understood. And yet they had clicked, the naive young Russian and the charismatic Asian. Being a native San Franciscan, Hikaru had wasted no time in showing Pavel over the whole city. Golden Gate Park had immediately become their favourite place to spend time together, when they could take time from the vast amounts of lectures and classes they both seemed to be constantly attending. And as the years passed, almost without their noticing, everyone at Starfleet Academy agreed: There was no better friendship than Pavel Chekov's and Hikaru Sulu's.
