Hey guys, this is a repost of Chapter One. Now that I've got some good inspiration, I can get back on track with this story... However, my original plot has changed..
You can find photos of the characters and other things on my pinterest link. I also have playlists for the story as well. You can find those both on my profile page..
Now I'm still looking for a beta reader so if any of you are willing, drop me a line.
Enjoy!
Disclaimer: I don't anything but the character Tayla. If I did, the movies would be out already and we'd be having a Star Trek party with all the characters.
Tayla Winona Maria Pike had graduated top of her class with honors. She was intelligent and many of her teachers has spoken highly of her inquisitive mind. She had filled it with everything from ancient history to the new data of starships. Basically, anything she could get her hands on went into her brain. She help multiple degrees in xenoligunstics, engineering, and she was a damn good surgeon. If she hadn't enlisted in Starfleet, she'd probably be the head of surgery somewhere in southern California. But, no, she was here, above Starfleet Academy, getting ready to head off in the USS Enterprise to answer a distress call. Even with all her medical talents, she was only second in command on the medical track for this particular starship.
How was it even possible that with everything I'm capable of, I'm still only second? I would have thought I'd be a Chief Medical Officer by now. I'll have to talk with Dad later, she thought. Though, I bet it wouldn't be wise to call him Dad in front of his crew. That be disrespectful.
She strode over to one of the state-of-the-art biobeds, brand new on the Enterprise, crossed her tan, slender legs, and placed an elbow on her knee to rest her head in her hand.
"This skirt is really going to bug me. I hate this stupid dress uniform. Give me pants any day." she muttered. "It's like some man came up with the idea that a woman should be tortured with a device called a skirt."
As she started to daydream, a loud noise brought her back from her reverie. She snapped to attention, her bright, electric blue eyes noticed a well-built cadet with light brown hair half-dragged, half-carried by an older looking cadet with darker brown hair. He looked heavily intoxicated, which is why she assumed he was being dragged into Medical.
Why send an intoxicated cadet aboard? He surely can't be cleared for duty, she mused.
"Bones, I really don't feel right. I feel like I'm leaking. Is that normal?" questioned the drunk-looking cadet.
"Dammit Jim. You're under the influence of the Melvaran Mudfleas. Remember?" the doctor, Bones, demanded.
So, he isn't drunk. He's just sick. But here, I have to wonder, why clear him for active duty if he's clearly not up to par with the mission at hand.
"And besides, a little suffering's good for the soul, Jim." Bones said sarcastically, as he attempted to drag Jim over to one of the beds.
The one called Jim, with the light-brown hair and drunken-like stupor, looked at her, his blue eyes scanning her and admiring her slender frame.
What is he trying to do? Mentally undress me? Bed me? Sucks for him because he isn't going to get any.
"Hey sexy lady, you wanna have a good time?" he asked, his eyebrows wigging up and down, suggestively.
She looked at him, her eyes annoyed and a scowl on her face.
"Jim, over here." Bones snapped his fingers to gain Jim's attention. Tayla eyed Bones, curiously, wanting to know how he lost Jim's focus in the first place.
Jim scowled at Bones, his face drooping as he reluctantly turned away from the "heavenly creature."
He looked at Bones sullenly to express his discontentment about the fact that he was in Medical and he couldn't look at this beautiful girl.
"My mouth itches. Is that supposed to happen?
Tayla looked at the two of them and rolled her eyes. This guy—boy, she should say—was clearly acting childish and it was seriously starting to irk her.
"Dammit Jim, It's not gonna last long," stated Bones. "This sedative should help." His annoyed scowl turned into a sick grin, obviously deriving pleasure from this experience.
"Why give him a hypo spray if his mouth is just itchy?" interjected Tayla as Bones prepped the hypo.
"Well, cadet, number one, although I like questions, I'm really not in the mood to answer them right now. Number two, You obviously have never met this guy here. He's been a real pain my ass for three years now," Bones stated.
"Hey! I'm not a pain in your ass. I'm not even near it. See?" Jim remarked as he held up both hands and waved them.
"Your going to be the death of me, I swear! Every time you.." Bones was about to continue, but Tayla cut him off.
"Okay, you listen here, Cadet "Bones"," she snapped, air-quoting his nickname. "You may be a doctor here, but I am your superior here on the Enterprise. I am no cadet and will not be treated as such. I am Lieutenant Commander Pike and I will have the proper respect my station demands."
Tayla turned to Jim and pointed, angrily.
"As for you, take the god-damned hypo, will you? You're seriously starting to irk me because you're acting like a spoiled brat."
Bones and Jim looked at each other, and then at Tayla, stunned at this outburst of anger.
"Next time I see you both, you will show me proper respect," she added, before she stormed off to the office at the edge of Medical, and slammed the door. However, due to the force of the slam, the door slid open slightly.
"Damn Bones, she's got you good. The only other person capable of stunning you like that is your ex-wife, right?" questioned Jim.
Bones looked at Jim, a cross look on his face and smacked him, upside the head. Jim yelped and grabbed his head.
Momentarily using Jim's expected reaction to hold his head, Bones jabbed the hypo into Jim's exposed neck. As the latter collapsed onto the bed, Bones sighed. James T. Kirk was piece of work. But this young woman, was force to be reckoned with. He secretly hoped he'd never have to deal with her in Medical as his patient. He wondered why no one told him about his newest superior. She was related to Captain Pike. This was gonna be interesting.
Hope you all enjoyed that. Please Review! :)
