2012 Australia
I was just ditched at the aisle. If only I could erase this from my memory. He would regret ever leaving me.

The stunning floor length white dress with black lace trimming had cost a fortune but it was so worth it. My hair was in a bun held back with my family heirloom tiara. My mother was smiling through her tears and I was nervous but elated. Today I would marry the love of my life, sappy I know.
The blue garter around my thigh was slightly ticklish and the diamond earrings and necklace weighed upon me. I wanted to pace but that would ruin the hours put into my make-up and hair. My father walks in and tells me its time. I can see the pride in his face and the unshed tears for his only daughter getting married.
I grasp his arm one hand clutching him the other my white rose bouquet. The music begins and everyone in the church turns to look at me; I am smiling and trembling inside. Greg is at the end in a white tuxedo with his best men and the priest. The ceremony begins and I am kissed on the cheek by my father and then handed to Greg.
We turn to the priest and then everything's a blur until disaster strikes. "Does anyone have any objections as to why these two should not marry?" the priest asks. A women stands up from the back row and shouts, "Yes, on the grounds I have his son in my arms!"
I begin to panic, Greg looks at the women and he seems to know who she is. "Greg, do you know her? Well?" He looks apologetic, "Yes, well that is to say we had a fling a couple of months back. But, sweetheart I didn't think that it would amount to anything."
I slap him across the face and run out of the church which is no small feat in a dress and heels. The tears were pouring down my cheeks. I went and grabbed my car and drove out of there. When I got home I started packing. How could he do this to me? Was there something wrong with me? He went and had a fling halfway through our engagement. I was angry that I'd been stupid enough to go and give him my heart.
Present
I called my mum and told her to cancel everything, she implored me to give Greg a chance but it was too late. I changed into sweats and a shirt then payed for a flight to America. It was about time I went and explored; now I wasn't chained down.
I would get the rest of my stuff flown over when I arrived. Stupid motherfucker he'll wish that he hadn't messed with me.
2260 New Vulcan
The rebuilding of our culture was progressing well. Most of the dwellings had been built and so had medical facilities, our science academy as well as several schools. Mother has been teaching and Father has been trying to organise what little there is of our cultural history.
I had just been granted leave after the Nerada incident to help rebuild on New Vulcan. The other me had done well in choosing a suitable planet for the colony to move to. There had been some problems such as most young Vulcans losing bond-mates and family. So time had been given to those who had lost theirs. My bond-mate perished with Vulcan and currently T'Pau is looking for a replacement.
I was helping at the university today currently there have been some medical and technical issues occurring. In some Vulcan men their time had been changing and so far none of our formulas have worked. The transporters are going to be tested today, and I've been asked to overlook the procedure as everyone else is unavailable.
Some far nine of the ten transporters are functioning at normal capacity. It's the last one that is the problem, in the past it had a habit of sending people to the wrong location. A young Vulcan of no more than 20 human years was walking past and tripped and the vial they'd been holding flew into the transporter just as we'd started to test it.
There was a flash of exceedingly bright light.
2012 San Francisco
I had finally gotten over HIM the bastard. My job at the university was great I'm head of the Medical Research Team and today I was going to announce my discovery. In my spare time I'd been trying to cure cancer using non-intrusive methods and last night I'd cracked the code.
All last night I'd tested the formula on cancer samples and it works. I'd develop the cure! When I got to the university it was quiet, more so than usual. I walked into my office and flicked on the light switch, "SURPRISE!"
"Thanks you guys, what's all this for?" I was confused. My head of department smiled and replied, "It's to celebrate your new doctoral and your new position." Now I was really confused, "What new position?" His smile grew even wider, "Why, you're getting my position of course. I'm retiring." I was gobsmacked.
"When did this happen?" "The decision was made two days ago and we thought that you deserved to know today as you're a Professor now." I mock glared at him. I now had multiple certificates; mainly medical, science and anthropology as I couldn't decide on what to do.
Time to share my big news, "Now, while I'm soaking up the spotlight. I made a discovery that's going to change the medical world forever." That captured their attention, as they all turned to look at me. "I've found a way to cure cancer." There were loud exclamations and cheers at this then my almost-ex-boss brought reality back, "You do understand that we'll have to test the formula extensively. Don't you?"
"Way to dampen the mood. Of course I'm willing to let anyone test it as long as I'm given the credit for the find and the university of course." He smiled and then we really started to celebrate.
After the news I got to work sending samples of the formula to various other universities around the world so that they could start the testing immediately. The Director of the university congratulated me on the find and the promotion and then told me to take the rest of the day off.
It started when I was walking home as it wasn't far from the university. It was like a tugging sensation in my stomach then it started getting worse. My whole body felt like it was getting ripped apart, my medical training flew out the window as I collapsed on the ground. Several students saw me and rushed over to help; one idiot got out his phone and started filming. There was a glow surrounding me, then there was a last painful ripping and I disappeared.
