Hello Star Trek fandom! ^-^ I've been here for awhile, so why not write a story for it, based off my fifth-grade ideas? xD I totally toned her down... since in 5th grade I had no idea what was overpowered and wasn't.
Anyways, enough of my ranting! On with the story.
I also don't own Star Trek. :(
Full summary (it didn't fit): Alana Pike, daughter of Admiral Christopher Pike, is left alone after Khan's fatal attack. Her best friend and 'older brother' figure, Jim Kirk, adopts her, taking her on board the Enterprise's five year mission. On its first mission to Exaltron 8, Kirk and Spock are greeted by then hostile aliens, ordering their death for being "false gods."
After Alana's rescue attempt becomes the laugh of the Enterprise, more trouble ensures after the mission to Exaltron, with the ship drifting away from a starbase, with only a few crew members. After learning the ship's location, Alana has to choose between orders and her gut feeling, but one mistake can cost her rank- or even lives.
Note; If, after Beyond premiers, and some of this is wrong, I wrote it before Beyond came out. :) Also, I may disobey the plot of Into Darkness a little. Hehe, sorry.
(Don't forget to review!)
Before you start, please be advised that I wrote this in like. 8th grade/freshman year (13-14 years old).
"Alana?" I knock on the door of Admiral Pike's house. I hate to be the one to break the news to her... but someone has to do it. Her mom died when she was little, so she's probably alone... and she'll want to know. Since Pike and I are- were- good friends, I got to know his daughter, and she's like my little sister. She will definitely want to know.
The door swings open after a few minutes, and there stands Emily Alana Pike, Admiral Pike's 13-year-old daughter. She looks like she's been asleep for a little while, wearing short athletic shorts and a tank top. "Dad, you have a key, please unlock the door yourself ne- oh... hi, Jim."
"Hey, Alana." I laugh at her reaction. I actually wonder if that's happened before- Pike leaving the key somewhere?
"Something's not right here... what happened to Dad?" she asks, starting to shake. "You wouldn't be here if something didn't happen to Dad. He had to go to some emergency meeting with all the captains, first officers and admirals and people like that."
She grabs my arm and we walk to the large glass window of her apartment floor, and gasps, seeing the damage to Starfleet's headquarters. "Oh my God..."
"Alana," I reply, grabbing her shaking self, "calm down. Also, did you dye your hair blonde?"
"Jim," she begins, sighing, "what happened? Stop trying to change the subject. And yes. Tell me the truth."
"Alana," I repeat, "calm. Okay?"
"I'm calm," she nods, no longer shaking. "What happened?"
"Let's go into your apartment for this." I take her hand and we walk back into her and Pike's apartment, where I shut the door. "Alana... your dad is... dead."
"Dead?" is the last word that escapes her mouth before she faints. I quickly catch her in my arms.
"Whoa, Lana," I say, adjusting her to bridal style. I look around where to place her, finally deciding to set her down on the couch. Then I grab her a glass of water and sat it on the table next to her.
I look down at Alana and she looks really peaceful. Her now blonde hair is parted on the left side, and it's pretty long, almost down to her stomach. Her eyes are closed, but they were also a brilliant blue... she honestly looks really pretty.
"Mm... ahh!" she gasps, waking up. "Oh my God, I had this dream that Jim was here and my dad was d-"
That's when she spots me, and stands up. "It wasn't a dream."
"No," I agree, "it wasn't."
"H- he's... gone?" Alana asks, walking over. "What happened?"
"Here." I take her hands in mine. "And, sadly, yes."
"Who did it?" She looks me in the eyes, tears streaming down her cheeks. "W-who was that son of a bitch?"
"John Harrison," I explain. "He's gone now, beamed off somewhere. He set off a bomb in the Starfleet archive in London, knowing we'd all gather captains and first officers. Also, I should mention I'm a first officer now, but- yeah, he was the one who did it."
By now Alana's crying into my chest and hugging me. I hug her back, crying too. Pike was one of my best friends, too. I rest my chin on Alana's head, realizing that she's taller then I thought.
"I never got to say goodbye..." She blinks a few times, looking up at me.
"You want me to stay tonight?" I ask.
She nods. "Y-yeah, the guest room's next to mine."
I hug her again. "Come on, let's go."
We walk back to Alana's room, and she sighs. "Jim?"
"Yeah?" I reply.
"This John Harrison guy... promise you'll get him back?" she asks.
"He's declared a one-man war against Starfleet," I answer. "We have to get him- he's a criminal."
She nods. a tear rolling down her face. "Y-yeah. Right. Starfleet regulations."
"Lana." I walk over and hug her, sitting on the edge of her bed. "I know this is hard on you, and it's hard on me too."
"Jim," she whispers, hugging back. "What will I do? Dad was the last..."
She buries her face in my chest and I gently kiss the top of her head. "Shh. Don't worry, Lana, I'll take care of you, I promise. We can stay here for however long you want, then we can move to my apartment."
"Thanks, Jim," Alana whispers, tears slowing. "You're the best friend..."
I smile a little. "Friends? Nah, we're closer then that. How about... siblings?"
"That works," she sniffles. "I think I'm good."
"You sure?" I ask, pulling back and looking at her, wiping away some tears.
"Yeah." She nods, looking up at me. "Thanks, Jim."
"No problem," I smile, brushing the hair from her face. "There. Almost good as new."
"How do you do it?" Alana asks after a minute. "How are you so calm?"
"I miss him too, Lana," I answer. "Sometimes you've just got to keep it to yourself... or Spock has rubbed off on me."
She laughs a little. "Thanks, Jim. I think I can sleep now."
I stand up as she lies down, smiling. "Sleep tight, Lana."
"You too. Guest room's that way," she replies, pointing to the left.
"Thanks."
"Thank you."
"Night, Lana."
"Night, Jim."
Sooooooo, what did you think? Was it good? Bad? Review and tell me! :D
