A/N: Hello Star Trek lovers! I would like you all to know that I am fairly new to the Star Trek fandom. I fell in love with it after seeing Star Trek: Into Darkness. I loved it so much I have decided to write a one-shot collection with my little brother.

Please enjoy, thank you for even clicking on this story, you don't know how much it means to me.

Please note that I really do not know anything about Star Trek, other than the fact that I seriously think that it is awesome and I love the characters and action. I have been using Star Trek Wiki a lot to try to gather more information on the fandom. Please feel free to give me some pointers if something is missing!

Also, I have made this collection for the fun of it. Mostly the one-shots in this collection will be humor one-shots.

This one in particular is a Spock x Uhura one-shot. I'll tell you how I got inspired for it at the end.

Uhura, as well as Gaila and Kirk may seem out of character. But please know that this collection is meant for my own enjoyment and pleasure to you readers.

Also, who wouldn't go crazy when you have a crush on Commander Spock!?

Thank you, enjoy, and don't forget to review…..

The First Time

"Uhura, I'm really sorry, but I don't understand why you're all giddy." Gaila, the Orion spoke softly. "I mean, he didn't ask you on a date or anything!" she complained.

Nyota Uhura just shook her head, clutched her blue striped pillow and sighed deeply. "I'm telling you why I'm all excited!" she said.

Uhura's roommate just rolled her eyes. The green-skin toned red-headed girl had been studying for a big astrophysics test when her xenolinguistics majoring friend burst into the room, dropped all of her books on the floor, fell on her bed, and squealed with delight.

When Gaila had questioned what her roommate was happy about, she just received more delighted giggles from Nyota. The Orion grinned playfully. She knew what this was about….

Her roommate, Cadet Nyota Uhura, had the biggest admiration for their advanced phonology professor, Commander Spock.

When Gaila had been told by Uhura about her liking for the professor, she couldn't believe what she was hearing. The Orion had thought that she was hearing things.

Commander Spock was a Vulcan. Vulcans, in Gaila's opinion, were basically robots in disguise. They were not capable of showing emotions. They did not laugh, they did not cry, and they did not smile. The thing that Vulcan's probably did the most was frown.

How on Orion had her roommate managed to like someone like Commander Spock?

Professor Spock was one of the strictest teachers Gaila had ever seen. He was a critical grader, his classes were boring, and he had such a tacky haircut.

Somehow, Uhura liked to pick the impossible ones….

"What did he do?" she asked. "Did he kiss you?"

The cadet shook her head and played with her smooth, soft, hair. "Nope." She giggled. "It's much better than that!"

"He hugged you?" she tried again.

"Guess again!" she smiled.

"He held your hand?" Gaila felt like she was a high-school girl playing the 'Does He Like Me?' game with her best friend.

"Getting closer!" the African American girl hinted.

The red-headed Orion noticed herself giggling too. "He asked you out on a date! That's it right!? He asked you to dinner?!"

The two StarFleet Cadets both squealed uncontrollably with excitement.

"He finally did it!" Gaila thought happily. "Professor Pointy Ears has finally asked her on a date! Oh! I'm so happy for her!"

"That would be awesome, Gaila!" Uhura interrupted her roommate's happy thoughts and continued on with her news. "But no, that's not it!"

The Orion's smile faltered. "What do you mean?" she asked puzzled.

Uhura just grinned more. Gaila darted her eyes back and forth in thought, Nyota seemed to be getting a little crazy about this…..

The red-headed girl put on hands on her hips. "What did Commander Spock do to get you to act like a toddler at Christmas time?" she asked and frowned, she was getting frustrated.

"You won't believe it!" Nyota replied in a sing-song voice.

Gaila laughed slightly at her friend's child-like manner, sat down on the bed next to her, and patted Uhura's hand. "Tell me everything!"

Uhura nodded and regained her composure, "Okay then, it all started like a regular day at StarFleet Academy..."

She cleared her throat. "I woke up, got dressed, and-"

"Not all that stuff!" Gaila interrupted. "Tell me about the classes…."

Uhura rolled her eyes at her roommate. "Okay, okay…. Well, I was just about to head off to my first class after studying a bit at the cafeteria, when that boy named Jim Kirk-"

"Jim Kirk!?" Gaila squealed. Unknown to Uhura, Gaila had a major attraction for the blond-headed cadet. "You saw him!?" she asked excitedly.

Nyota frowned. "Yeah, I did… he gets on my nerves all the time."

"What!?" she replied. "How can he be annoying? He's so handsome!"

Nyota chuckled a bit. "I'll tell you why he gets me so frustrated. You see, I was just about to head over to my class when he ran over to my table, gave me a really funny look, and started to talk in gibberish."

"Gibberish?" the Orion made a face.

"You got that right," Nyota replied as she scowled lightly. "After he was done speaking his gibberish, he told me that it was Klingonese for 'Tell me your first name.'"

"Are you serious!?" Gaila snickered. "He's never even talked to me let alone asked me my name! You are so lucky, Nyota! Did you tell him!?" she asked eagerly.

"No…." Uhura replied much to her roommate's disappointment. "I told him that what he was speaking wasn't even Klingonese and that I reserve my first name for family and close friends."

"You didn't tell him? How come?" Gaila replied with confusion.

"Trust me," Uhura spoke. "If that rambunctious man knew what my first name was, I am one hundred percent sure that everyone in StarFleet would know my first name…." She paused. "I'm pretty sure that word would get around…."

Gaila lifted her perfectly manicured green hand and mumbled. "I would've told him…."

The cadet rolled her brown eyes. "Enough with it Gaila…." Uhura was tired talking about 'Kirk the annoying jerk'. "Back to the story…."

"Okay," Gaila encouraged. "Go on. Tell me what happened with Professor Spock…"

"Well, when I got to my advanced phonology class, I was pretty early. So I just sat in my seat and chatted with a few of my classmates until it was time to start class." Nyota explained.

Gaila nodded in response. Her red curls bounced in the air as she did so.

Uhura continued on. "We went over and studied the imperfect tense in Vulcan for review. Then we got the results back from our tests."

Gaila perked up. She knew that her roommate had been anxious to know her test scores. "What did you get?" the Orion asked.

"I got a pretty high score!" she announced. "There were only one or two little things that got points taken off. After class, I went up to ask Professor Spock what skills I could improve on."

"You went up and talked to him!?" The Orion squealed.

"Yes…" Uhura gave her roommate an odd look. "I've talked to him before…"

"Oh," Gaila stopped squealing. There was an awkward silence between the two girls. "Ummm…. What did he say this time!?" she asked hastily.

"Well, he showed me the proper tense for the two questions I messed up on. But then, he went on to tell me that I had a perfect score on the oral test and he complimented that I have exceptional oral sensitivity!" She continued on.

"Really!?" Gaila said. "That's great! What did you say back?"

Uhura blushed. "Well, you know how I've been wanting to tell him what a great instructor he is…."

As if on cue, Gaila jumped up from the bed, and held her hand up in a salute.

"You told him that you are happy that he's your teacher, that he's doing his job wonderfully, and he's making a difference in the students!?" the Orion recited from heart. Her roommate had been planning on presenting that little speech to Commander Spock for a long time.

She nodded. "Yes!" Uhura confirmed. "That's it exactly!" She shrugged slightly. "Then Commander Spock told me 'Thank you' and I left for my next class."

Gaila's gleaming smile dropped. "Wait. That's it? There's nothing more?"

Uhura nodded day dreamily. "Nope…"

The Orion narrowed her eyes. "So if Commander Spock says 'Thank you' to you, you're going to get all giddy like this?"

"You got that right…." Uhura replied as she took a big sigh.

"Uhura," she shook her head. "I'm really sorry, but I don't understand why you're all giddy." Gaila spoke softly. "I mean, he didn't ask you on a date or anything!" she complained.

Nyota Uhura just shook her head, clutched her blue striped pillow tightly and sighed deeply. "I'm telling you why I'm all excited!" she said.

"Well, exactly why are you all excited?" Gaila asked seriously.

Uhura sighed, stood up, and looked her roommate dead in the eyes. "When I was talking to Professor Spock about what a great teacher he was, he did something that I swear he's never done to any student before. I think it was the first time I've ever seen him do it…."

Her roommate cocked her head to the side. "What's that?"

"Well, it's a little hard to explain. I could interpret what he did because I feel like I know him pretty well…." Uhura trailed on.

"Tell me." Gaila demanded gently. "I'll try to understand."

Uhura took a breath and made gestures with her hands. "The corners of his mouth seemed to lift at a slight angle for a few seconds and his eyes looked as if they sparkled…" She shook her head and chuckled. "I don't understand why, but it made me feel special when he did it." Uhura said as she described the scene.

Her friend nodded sweetly. "So… what did he do for the first time?" Gaila repeated. "I still don't understand…."

Uhura grinned warmly. "He smiled…"

THE END

A/N: How was that for my very first Star Trek one-shot! Please let me know what you think!

I got the inspiration for this idea when seeing Into Darkness. Even though I basically just went along to the movies for my little brother's birthday party, I had no idea I would enjoy the movie so much.

I was seriously fascinated with Spock. The whole time (since I know nothing about Spock….) I was thinking 'Smile Spock! I want to see you smile!'.

So after the movie I even asked my dad if our favorite Vulcan ever smiles. Dad told me no, so I thought of a romantic one-shot between Spock and Uhura about him smiling to her for the first time.

But, after seeing the movie for a second time, (Yes, it was that good!) I did notice that Spock did have a slight little smile on his lips at the end of the movie.

What did you think? Please tell me! I hope you enjoyed this little one-shot as much I enjoyed writing it for you!
