'This is it. This is where I spend the next eight years of my life training…well, anything is better than the streets.' Danny thought to himself. Still, working on a starship? That's not something he wanted to do with his live. Living in constant danger, in space, with no way out, or a door to escape from. If one thing goes wrong, he could be stranded, blown up, killed in the most violent way possible. He's not ready. But it doesn't matter if he's ready or not. This is the only way he could get a job. The streets are no place to live. 'Neither is space.'
Danny walked in the gate, with his head held high. He stepped into the ship that was supposed to take him to the base.
He displayed a smirk onto his sharp features. He winked at a young girl who was sitting in her chair, and received a blush in return.
Danny found his seat, looking confident, but feeling nervous. He was terrified of what was to come. He knew nothing of space, or starships. All he knows is it pays well, and hires almost everyone.
Besides, if they made Jim Kirk a captain, he could defiantly get in.
He doesn't know Jim personally, but he heard stories about him. His father was captain for twelve minutes, and saves eight hundred lives, and Jim managed to live up to him, even though he was a misfit and a troublemaker. He became great, and that's who Danny wants to be like. Jim Kirk is Danny's role model, his idol. The only thing keeping Danny from going crazy with fear, is the thought of meeting Jim Kirk one day.
He never thought, however, that Jim Kirk would become his captain, and the Enterprise his ship.
Graduation was a thrilling day for Danny. Not only did he pass his classes as one of the top students, (no one expected that) but he was getting his first assignment that night.
Danny stood stiff in line with his fellow cadets. Tension was in the air, and everyone anticipated their first assignments, and the discovery of what ship they were to be placed on.
Danny spent all his nights studying and working hard in hopes of getting on the Enterprise, but he didn't expect it. He didn't raise his hopes, because, let's face it. As hard as he tried, he couldn't help but slack off. His teachers and peers noticed it too. He might get good, but on a great ship like the Enterprise, they needed hard working men and women, who could stay on task, and wouldn't be a worry.
Then his name was called.
"Wood…Enterprise." His heart stopped. His dream was reached. He couldn't even repress the grin that was plastered across his features. His confidents replaced his worry, and he went back to his normal self. Confident, smirky, mysterious, and okay, a bit of a jerk, but hey, the ladies like it.
"Report to your ships, and good luck." His class was dismissed, and he walked over to the ship that was going to take him, and his fellow classmates who also got the Enterprise, off to the ship, where they'd start their mission.
'Funny. When I first got here years ago, I wanted nothing to do with space. Now I'm on my way to join in with the Enterprise, about to start their five year mission.' Danny laughed to himself at the irony.
But ironic or not, there's no going back. Danny was a little nervous about what was to come, but he'd be crazy not to be. Five years in space. What could go wrong?
I got this idea from Tumblr, where Daniel Sharman and Aton Yelchin (as Chekov) are brother seperated at birth, so I wrote off of it, and got this...yeah...
Let me know what you guys think, and if I should keep going.
Live Long and Prosper :)
