Chapter 1
He never expected her to show up. The last time he saw her was years ago.
"Jim, I don't want her on here!" Leonard 'Bones' McCoy ranted.
"Nothing bad will happen!" Captain James T. Kirk told his friend.
"Dammit Jim, this is space, not earth! Space is unpredictable and dangerous," McCoy continued on unconvinced.
"And she'll be safe on the Enterprise. You'll be here, I'll be here, Spock is here. Trust me," Jim he tried one more time.
McCoy looked at his friend slightly convinced. He knew that he would lose the battle and she would be on the USS Enterprise within the hour.
"Fine. But promise me one thing," McCoy said to him.
"What is it?" Kirk asked cheerfully.
"Don't try to sleep with my little sister, alright?" McCoy asked slightly irritated.
"For you Bones, I won't," Kirk replied, hoping that Bones' sister was uglier than a Klingon.
"You better not," he told Kirk.
"Well, I'm going to go check on Scotty down in engineering. Bring her to the bridge for launch. I'd like to meet her," Kirk had said to McCoy.
With that Kirk left the medical bay headed towards engineering deck 3 leaving McCoy by himself. Twenty minutes passed by with only the sounds of pen on paper in the medical bay. Occasionally a nurse or other doctor would amble in but would leave after picking up or dropping of paper work of some sort.
"Doctor McCoy will you please come to the Shuttle Bay," was heard in the medical bay.
McCoy hurriedly set his papers in a safe location and ran to the Shuttle Bay. Even though he assumed it was his sister, there could have been an accident requiring him and his talents. He showed up to the site and luckily wasn't approached by a frantic crew member. This left him with his sister has arrived. He stood waiting by an engineer waiting for some cadets to exit the shuttle.
Ten minutes later the shuttle had emptied and McCoy had yet to find his sister. Annoyed, he was starting to leave the shuttle bay when he heard a voice asking someone if they had seen Doctor Leonard McCoy. Turning around he searched the direction for the voice he had heard, hoping to see a familiar face. As soon as he'd turn around to find the girl, some one had thrown their arms around his neck.
"Leonard!" the same voice from earlier exclaimed excitedly.
He hugged back hoping it was her.
"It's been forever!" She said cheerfully.
"Emily? Is that really you?" He asked unsure.
"Yes it is!" she replied proudly.
"Wow. You've grown up quite a bit! I don't even recognize you!" he told her, shocked.
"I have grown since you last saw me about eleven years ago," she replied.
"Come on; let's put your stuff in your quarters before launch. You'll want to see it from the bridge. And has it really been eleven years?" he asked as he led her to the nearest lift.
"Yeah, it has. So, how have you been?" she asked curiously. She knew about his marriage and divorce. Even though they hadn't seen each other, they still wrote.
"Busy. Jim always keeps me on my toes," he replied.
"Oh really? And who is this Jim? Your" she started.
"What! No, he's a friend. Captain James T. Kirk. He's captain of this ship," McCoy interjected before she got too carried away.
"Oh," Emily replied unaware of the uncharted territory she was venturing in. The elevator stopped and the two stepped out and walked quickly down the hallway.
"So where are we now?" she asked confused.
"Crew's Quarters. Your quarters are across from mine," he answered her as he led her to a door.
"So, no door handles, fingerprint scanners or motion sensors. How does the door open?" Emily curiously asked her older brother.
"So this button here?" He asked his younger sibling.
"Where? I don't know what you're pointing to," she asked, knowing fully what he was pointing to.
"Right here dammit. See this button. You push it, the doors go whoosh and you walk in," McCoy told her becoming more irritated.
"I know, I'm just being a pain in the ass," she told him with a laugh. She pushed the button and walked in setting her two duffels on the ground.
"You should change before we head up there. Your uniform should be in there. I'll be waiting in my room. Don't take too long okay?" he asked.
"Alright, give me a minute and I'll be ready," she replied. She pushed the button in her room, next to her door as it made another whooshing sound giving her her privacy. Emily looked around the small quarters. It was a little smaller than her dorm back at Starfleet, but she wouldn't have to share. Quickly she found a blue cap sleeved dressed and replaced her red Starfleet uniform with it. Putting her boots back on as she raced out the door and knocked on the one across the hallway.
"Let's go. Launch is in a few minutes and we've wasted enough time," McCoy said in an irritated tone.
"Alright, let's go," Emily told him.
