Part 1

Character info:Name: ElpisAge: 24 (She is two years younger than Spock)Looks: She has blue eyes and blond long hair that she hides behind her ear, which is her only feature that makes her look Vulcan. She has normal human eyebrows. She has a thin face and is about 5' 4". (I will go into more detail in the story.)Personality: Logic but more in tune with her human side, and is a bit of a random person to some : ¾ human and ¼ Plant: Earth

Home State: Iowa

Family:

Father- human

Mother- Half Vulcan and Half Human (I do not know what to name them yet.)

Siblings: Half-sister named May, she looks like a younger Elpis, but fully human and she has always had a crush on Kirk and hated Elpis for what she thinks and taking him away from History: Her mother was always working, so Elpis's memory of her mother is of a few little things of her childhood. Her father was a former member of Star Fleet, because of this Elpis has always had a respect for Star Fleet members. When living in Iowa, her and her childhood friend, James T. Kirk always caused so much trouble. When Elpis turned about 17 her mother had her move to Vulcan where she lived with her aunt. During this time, she studied and learned about her Vulcan roots for the next few years. Afterward, she went back to Earth, this is when she joined Star Fleet as her father always of story~~~(No one's point of view) "So Bones, what are you going to do for leave on Earth as Scotty fixes the ship," asked Kirk as the doctor was checking through random medicine files on his PADD using most of his focus.

"Hell if I know Jim! Don't you need to, oh I don't know, go be the captain or something?"

"Well, I'm going back to Iowa, to visit an old friend. You want to come?"

"No," he said plainly as he walked away, still looking at files.

"Come on, Bones."

"Good god man! Fine, I will just let me do my work!" Bones yelled.

~~mission over (sorry just trying to speed up the story so Elpis can come in the mix)

"Why did I let you talk me into this?" asked Bones looking annoyed.

"Believe me when I say she's worth the trip." Kirk said as he looked all around for the exit on the docking station.

"Well that's nice to know. Wait... her? And why is the pointy eared goblin here?"

"I'm not here for the same reason as you two." Spock explained as he walked into a different direction.

"Well I guess that's nice to know," said Bones, "So Kirk who is she, an old girlfriend, or something?" Kirk laughed at the girlfriend thing he knew Elpis would kill Bones if she heard that. Good thing he was a doctor.

"There's a taxi." Kirk hailed the taxi and they drove off.

~Elpis's point of view~

"Hii-yaw!" I yelled at the computer program, Sparing Bot. I round house kick the damn thing but it grabbed my foot with an enormous strength. I think I programmed it too well. I threw more punches and kicks, as I got lost in my thoughts. I was so happy to back home. Do not get me wrong, Vulcan was great and its destruction was a sad deal, along with Star Fleet's destruction, but home is home, you know. I slipped back out of my thoughts just as the bot threw me into the wall.

"Code 3465," I yelled and the bot stopped fighting and shut down. Sweat was beading up on my face, so I grabbed a towel and dried my face off. I walked out of the work out room of my father's house. I had only just gotten back from my last mission and I was being pulled on the starship USS Enterprise as what? I do not know, as having taken too many different classes and did not have a true main focus.I heard the doorbell ring. My towel was around my neck and was about to walk to the door but May ran towards it faster than anything I have ever seen. She had a huge grin on her face as she twisted hair around her finger. I knew what that meant. I am not sure how he knew I was back, but then again, he IS Kirk.~Kirk's point of view~

Bone and I just got to Elpis's father house. "We're here," I said to Bones, as he looked more annoyed than normal. I rang the doorbell just as May opened the door. Man, I am a screwed now.

"Oh, hi, Jim! How have you been?" she said giggling and twisting her hair around her finger.

"Good, good. So, is Elpis here?" her smile dropped and her eyes grew narrow. She even started chewing on the inside of her cheek, and all I could think was "crap I'm so dead." Bones smirked at, what I am guessing, was my face because I am sure I had a look of fear on it.

"May, stop scaring the poor boy," said Elpis. May stomped off mumbling curses anyway.

My face lit up and I ran to hug her. Yuck! She was all sweaty; her muscles froze up but slowly relaxed. I had forgotten than she was Vulcan. Well, ¼ Vulcan and did not show a lot of emotion.

"Elpis, it's so nice to see you, after what 7 years!?" I slowly let go of her so I could look her up and down. She had only grown an inch, if that and her hair was a lot darker but had sun kissed highlights from Vulcan's sun. Her skin was a shade paler, from staying inside to study. In addition, no doubt, she was a still huge bookworm. (Kirk remembered a time they went to a party their first year and she spent the whole time reading in one of the bathrooms there.) Her lips were still a reddish pink, which was weird since both her parents' lips were light pink.

"Um Kirk? First of all, could you let me go, and, second of all, who's he," asked Elpis as she moved complete out of his arms and studied his friend.

"This is Bones."

"Bones?" she asked, "ha ha! How about a real name and not a nickname?"

"McCoy." Bones said as he stepped into the conversation.

"Well, come on inside and get yourselves comfortable. I sure as hell know Kirk doesn't have a hotel room for you two." Elpis said stepping aside so they could come in.

"So, to what do I owe this surprise to?"

"Damn it man, she didn't know we were coming?" Bones whispered to me.

"That's right, Kirk just runs into things, if you haven't seen," Elpis said as she walked us into the living room and sat down on the lazy boy chair.~Bones point of view~

"May, stop scaring the poor boy," said the short blond woman to the younger but taller one. They looked a lot alike but something was very different besides high and age. The taller one walked off in a mad heat. Damn it Kirk, why do you do this thing to yourself, I though to myself. Kirk when to hug her but judging by the way her body reacted, I would think that she is not use to hugs.

"Elpis, it's nice to see you, after what 7 years!?" said Kirk as he let her go. I am starting to feel sick. He started checking her out but not in the normal Jim Kirk way. More like seeing how she changed over…..wait 7 years!? How long had they known each other!? Finally, Kirk told her who I was and she led us into her house.
