Disclaimer: I do not own Star Trek, I am merely borrowing it to entertain my friends. The only benefit I derive is the satisfaction of receiving reviews.

Author's notes: This is a sequel to "The Vulcan that wasn't". If you haven't read that story, please, for your own benefit, do so before starting to read this story.

I would like to thank anyone who read my previous story. I will listen to any and all comments and suggestions ya'll send me. I love reviews and I appreciate any comments you have.

Even though I come off as someone who will someday be a despotic ruler, I am a nice person. And now, on with the story!

"Lieutenant Zandile Rey, a subspace message is coming in for you." Said a voice from the comm system. Zandile, who had been sprawled on her bed, reading, jumped slightly from the surprise.

"Please route it to my quarters." Zandile replied. She put down her book and jumped from the bed to her desk in one fluid motion. She turned on the computer on her desk, and a Starfleet insignia appeared on the screen. Seconds later, a face appeared on the screen as the message was routed to the computer in her quarters.

"Lynette, what a surprise! How ya doin', little sis?"

"Hey Z! Dad and I heard you were promoted to lieutenant. He wanted me to congratulate you." Zandile's sister, Lynette, was 15 years old. She looked a lot like Zandile because they both resembled their mother so much, but without Vulcan ears and eyebrows. Lynette was 100, homegrown, purebred human, while Zandile was half Vulcan. Both sisters had dark brown hair the color of dark chocolate and the same eyes nose and mouth. Lynette, however, had hazel colored eyes, while Zandile had eyes the same color as her hair.

"Thanks. How's Mark doing at college? Is he still studying marine biology?" Mark was Lynette's brother and Zandile's half brother. He was 20 years old and went to college on Earth.

"Yeah, he's getting good grades and all that. He also started studying zenobiology. I also heard that you saved Captain Picard's life. That's so cool! I can't wait until I can be a Starfleet officer!"

"Yeah, I did, but it was no big deal." Zandile blushed at the compliment.

Lynette took on a scoffing tone. "Sure, Z. Dad told me what Captain Picard told him when he called. It was a big deal."

Zandile decided to change the subject, before her sister could embarrass her more. "Hey, I heard the Dad got promoted to Captain. When is he gonna get his own command?"

"That's why I called. Dad is getting transferred to the USS Bahrain. It's a new Intrepid class ship."

"That's cool, he gets a brand new ship."

"Not so much, big sis. Non- Starfleet family members aren't allowed to live on Intrepid class ships. I'll have to live on Earth, with Aunt Bonnie!"

"Did Dad say you have to?"

"No, but I can't live with Mark. He lives in that tiny apartment. And I don't want to live with Aunt Bonnie and Uncle Jack. Their house is so crowded with all those kids! I like privacy!"

"Chill, sis. I have an awesome idea! You could live on the Enterprise with me. There's a school just like the one on the USS Freedom, cause it's the same class starship as the Enterprise. Not even Captain Picard would want to see you get shipped off to Earth just because Intrepid class ships are so small they don't have a school."

Lynette's face immediately brightened. "Really? I can live on the Enterprise? I'm gonna go ask Dad if I can! Lynette out!" Zandile saw Lynette jump out of her chair and send it spinning as she pressed the end transmission button. The empty, spinning chair was replaced by the Starfleet insignia a millisecond later.

I guess that's an OK beginning. Please, please Read and Review. PLEASE? Makes sad puppy dog face
