P.S: Constructive criticism is accepted. :D

Nyota Uhura took one step forward. She took in the air. Different, she thought. Not uncomfortable, but not pleasing. She would have to get used to this for three months.

"Nyota," Her father said. "could you at least try to look happy?"

Her father, Ambassador Benjamin Uhura and his wife Catherine planned a vacation on the planet Vulcan and since his friend Ambassador Sarek was a native of Vulcan, they would stay over at his house.

Uhura smiled a fake smile to her father. "Better father dearest?" He shot her a glare. "Well, you said try, not be."

The family walked along the pathway of Ambassador Sarek's home. She saw a woman standing at the doorway, a human woman. "Baba, Ambassador Sarek has a human wife?" She asked curiously. "Yes he does. Her name is Amanda Grayson. They also have a son named Spock." At least she could talk to someone during these three months of boring.

"Mama, why couldn't Zana or Tumaini come along?" Her mother completely ignored her question and greeted the woman. "Hello Miss Amanda. My name is Catherine Uhura, wife of Benjamin, and this if my daughter Nyota." The woman smiled, she seemed nice. "Hello Catherine, no need for formalities around here, you can call me Amanda." She turned to Nyota and her smile had gotten wider. "Hello Nyota, how are you?" She smiled back. "I'm fine thank you."

Out of the corner of Nyota's eye, she saw a boy. He was very tall and had his hands clasped behind his back. Just like every other Vulcan she saw on the planet. Amanda caught her staring at her son and called him out. "Spock, come greet our visitors." So this is Spock she thought. His hair was long, shaggy, and uncombed, just like any other eighteen year old boy who had just woken up. Amanda pulled him closer to her. "Spock, this is Catherine and Nyota Uhura. Catherine is Ambassador Benjamin's wife and this is their youngest daughter Nyota." He didn't say a word. He simply nodded.

The silence between the three was unbearable. It was Amanda who spoke up for which Nyota was thankful. "Would you like a tour of the house?"

"We'd love one." Catherine Uhura said. They entered the house. It was much larger than what Nyota had expected. They walked through the foyer and into the main hall. The first floor reminded Nyota of the Royal family of England. Everything was beautifully crafted. She was in awe. "This is beautiful." She said more to herself. "It is pleasing to the eye." Spock said.

They walked pass the garden to end up on the other side of the house. "This is where we eat and sit together as a family." Amanda said. "If you go up those stairs, you will find the bedrooms and the washrooms." Both Nyota and Catherine had their luggage taken into different rooms. Nyota went up the stairs as directed and immediately fell in love with the room.

Her mother came in after her. "Wow Ny, this is beautiful." Nyota could only nod. "Do you still want Zana and Tumaini here?" She shot her mother a glare. "No thanks. I'm good." They both went into the next room which was her parent's. "This one is also beautiful. I feel like a queen." Her mother smiled and walked around with her chin held high. "I wonder how baba will react."

"If he doesn't like it, there's always the floor." Both women laughed and Nyota went back to her room to get ready for dinner.
