"Please tell me this is a cruel, horrible joke Lara." James T. Kirk said clutching his cold beer to his chest. He locked his bright blue eyes with his best friends chocolate brown eyes.
Lara laughed and sipped at her own drink, "No joke Jimmy. I am leaving tomorrow to join Starfleet and get out of this town once and for all."
Jim almost cried, almost. He turned to look out at the dance floor, bright lights flashing and thumping beets from a song he couldn't quite remember. She really was going to leave him all alone to steal cars and wreak havoc all by himself. "Do you know how bored I'm gonna be when you leave?" he said turning back to her.
The girl laughed again and ran a hand through her long chestnut hair, "You know you could always come with me. I've heard there are a lot of pretty girls at Starfleet Academy. Most of them are away from home for the first time…"
He rolled his eyes, "Not even the prospect of a pretty girl on each arm could get me to join. I've told you before Lara, Starfleet is not for me," Jim took another sip of his beer and looked over at the bar, "On second thought." He said walking off toward the bar and whatever girl had caught his attention.
Lara rolled her eyes, typical Jim. He was definitely a womanizer but underneath that thick skull of his was a wonderful guy. They had known each other for at least thirteen years. Both met in grade school when Jim helped Lara onto the tire swing on the playground. When Jim's friends started picking on the two about being each other's "secret crush" Lara thought that Jim would start to ignore her but instead he played along and eventually the bullying stopped. But they became close and ever since that day on the playground, they were practically attached at the hip.
When she looked up at the bar Lara noticed that Jim looked like he was having some trouble picking up whichever girl he wanted. I better go and help out, Lara thought to herself standing up and making her way over to Jim. She would either help him get in or out with this situation. Lara had always ended up being Jim's "wingman" even though she wanted to be on the receiving end of Jim's pick up lines and his stupid jokes. Ever since the tenth grade when Jim and her went to homecoming together and he danced with her to every song, she had realized her feelings for him. Then in the twelfth grade when they won homecoming king and queen and Jim danced with her that same night to every song, despite the looks from his girlfriend, she had fallen for him.
But he'll never feel the same, Lara thought to herself as she leaned up against the bar next to Jim, As long as he is happy, I will be happy. Although the thought of Jim happy with another girl made Lara feel incredibly jealous.
"…that means you've got a talent of tongue,"
The girl smiled despite looking annoyed, "I'm impressed. For a moment there I thought you were just a dumb hick who has sex with farm animals."
Lara punched Jim in the arm, "Not only," she turned toward the cadet and extended her hand, "Lara Sheppard, nice to meet you. Sorry about Jimmy here. He has the biggest ego this side of town."
Jim feigned offense, "I should let you know I am quite humble."
The cadet took Lara's hand and shook it firmly, "Uhura, nice to meet you too."
The three started to chat and Jim made another joke regarding farm animals and sex which made Lara roll her eyes and Uhura laugh.
"These townees aren't bothering you right?" some big, lumbering cadet came up behind the trio.
Uhura smiled at him and said, "Not really. I can handle it."
"You could handle me, that's an invitation." Jim said to her taking another sip of his beer.
Lara laughed at his joke, but the cadet didn't find the joke very funny. "Hey, you better mind your manners." He said getting increasingly hostile.
Jim rolled his eyes but kept an arm in front of Lara protectively. Trying to calm the cadet down Jim put a hand on the cadet's shoulder and said to him, "Relax cupcake, it was a joke."
Cupcake still didn't think it was funny he grabbed Jim by the shoulder and turned him toward himself and his possy. "Hey," Jim moved Lara completely behind himself, "Maybe you can't count but there are four of us and one of you."
Jim got into cupcake's face, "So get some more guys and then it'll be an even fight," he lightly patted the cadet's cheek. Jim turned back toward the bar and gave Lara the let's get out of here before we get our asses kicked look. But cupcake wasn't finished; he turned Jim around and landed a solid punch across Jim's jaw.
Jim fell onto the bar, mouth open in shock. "Jim!" Lara said grabbing him by the shoulder and helping him stand up.
"Stop it!" she heard Uhura say to cupcake.
When Lara had Jim back on his feet she went to check his broken lip but he lightly moved her behind him again and kicked cupcake square in the stomach sending him flying across the room and to land on top of a table. He fell over, glasses shattering with him.
"Jim are you alright?" Lara said lightly cupping his face in her hands. Before she could get a reply out of him, Jim shoved her out of the way to block an oncoming attack from a second cadet. Jim blocked and got hit once but punched the cadet, sending him flying across the other side of the room into another table.
More cadets started beating on Jim and Lara had had enough. She joined in the fight knocking out one cadet and then sending a round house kick to another. Jim was punched again and fell onto Uhura, grabbing her breasts which angered her and she shoved him away despite her trying to defend him earlier.
Eventually it turned into an all out brawl, Lara held her own for a while but was soon overpowered and held back by a bloody faced cadet. She struggled to get free and started doing everything she could to get out of his grasp but he was too strong. "James!" she shouted out for help.
Jim knocked out another cadet and turned to see who had yelled out his name, "Lara! No get your hands off of her!" he said to the cadet holding back his best friend. But before he could reach her, cupcake had showed back up. His guys held him back while cupcake began laying punch after punch to his face. Jim fell on the floor, exhausted. Then another cadet picked him up off the floor and threw him onto a table and started laying more punches into his face.
Lara started crying, "No stop it! Stop! Jim!"
Uhura was getting scared, "Enough! Guys he's had enough!"
Then a piercing whistle silenced everybody in the room. The cadets turned and stood at attention, dropping Lara on the floor and leaving Jim on the table. Lara ignored whoever just whistled and made her way over to Jim.
She took his face in her hands, "You know for a genius level guy. You act like such an idiot sometimes."
"Outside, all of you…now!" an authoritative voice came after the loud whistle. All of the cadets moved out of the bar quickly, followed by the patrons as well. Then the whistler looked down at the duo, "Are you two alright?"
Jim looked back at him and said in a strained and tired voice, "You can whistle really loud, do you know that?"
Lara recognized the man's face after studying it, "Captain Pike. I…"
"No need Sheppard. Why don't you go on home, you need some rest. I'll make sure Jim gets home without anymore scrapes or bruises."
Lara helped Jim into a chair, "Yes sir. Is it alright if I say goodbye first?"
Pike gave her a curt nod and made his way toward the bar, "Make it quick." He said as he passed by.
"That's not a very good first impression on your new captain Lara." Jim said to her while struggling out of his jacket.
Lara helped him pull off the leather jacket and draped it over the seat behind him, "He's also my recruiter," she knelt beside him and put her hand on his knee, "So this is it Jimmy. Will you miss me?"
Jim gave her a sad smile, "I already do. Promise me you'll try to keep in touch?" he said taking her hand in his, an unreadable look on his bloodied face.
"Of course I will Jim," she stood and kissed him lightly on the cheek, "Don't be too rude to the captain. He's a pretty decent guy once you get past the Starfleet mask he wears all the time."
She turned to leave but was stopped when Jim called out to her, "Hey Lara?"
"Yeah?" she said turning to face him.
"I…be careful with cupcake? He didn't look like the sweet kind."
Lara laughed, "Please Jim, he isn't my type," she turned and left.
She has a type? Jim thought as Captain Pike took a seat across from him.
Lara walked through the parking lot toward her motorcycle, an ancient model she found in a junk yard when she was sixteen. A 2011 Ducati Superbike, it took Lara at least three years to bring the thing back to working order and another year to modify the bike to deal with new fuel and engine parts.
She put on her leather jacket and zipped it up all the way. She was about to put on her helmet when she heard a voice behind her, "It's amazing what a little alcohol can do to some testosterone high men,"
Lara laughed and turned to face Uhura standing behind her. "Sorry about Jim. He lets his ego do most of the talking. Actually his ego does all the talking,"
Uhura chuckled and crossed her arms, "And I'm sorry about what happened in there. I didn't know you two were together, and I wouldn't have done anything with him I—
Lara held up a hand, "We aren't together. We have just known each other since grade school and I always have to save his ass whenever he gets in a fight. I just hate to see him get hurt,"
"Oh," she said, "It's just the way he was protecting you and…never mind. But I'll see you at the shuttle tomorrow right?"
Lara put on her helmet and swung her leg over her bike. She opened up the visor, "Yeah bright and early. It's about time I get out of this dump." She kicked her bike to a start and turned and sped out of the parking lot.
Well there it is! Review pretty please with a cherry and sugar and everything else delicious on top! I will love you lots! :D
