I woke up with a hazy hang over.
"well good morning beautiful" said the voice of a man right next to me.
"where the hell am I?" I said sitting up much too quickly. The room started to spin. I pulled the blankets up to cover my naked body. I looked over at him, his bright blue eyes catch me first, then his short blonde hair a bit messy from just waking up. A sudden realization came over me. I knew who he was.
"my room. You must not remember anything. Well my name is -"
"I know who you are, Captain James T. Kirk " I said wrapping the blanket around me before I stood up grabbing my clothes.
"ahh well I had fun last night lieutenant Smith" he said. He put his hands behind his head and sat back. I knew it wasn't my name but I let it slip as I walked into his bathroom and changed into my captains uniform. The gold dress hugged me tightly
As I yanked my dark brown hair up into a high ponytail. As I looked into the mirror I removed my badge so he wouldn't know who I was. When I was satisfied with my looks, I walked out of the bathroom and sat on the edge of the bed while i yanked on my regulation boots.
"you know you can stay a bit longer" he said sitting up rubbing his hands against my dark brown skin. It was tempting to say the least but I had duties to fulfill.
"we both know you only like them for a night" I said turning to face him. I gave him a long deep kiss then turned on my heal and left. A few minutes after leaving I got a call on my com. "Captain Jones to Admiral James' office please."
"on my way" I sad closing the com and re pinning the Captains pin to my chest. I arrived to Admiral James' office a few minutes later.
"ahh Captain, please take a seat. We're waiting on one more."
"yes sir" I say following my orders. A few moments later our second guest arrives.
"Captain James T. Kirk reporting for duty sir."
"have a seat" said the Admiral. It took him a minute to notice me in the room. And when he did he was more than shocked.
"Admiral if I may, why is Lieutenant Smith here?" he said making a gesture to me. The admiral looked a bit shocked with the way he referred to me.
"If I may captain you have me confused with someone else. My name is Captain Susan Jones of the U.S.S Centerville. I don't believe we have met" I said extending a hand. His eyes wondered to the badge on my chest. They widened for a moment, then he took his hand in mine and held a firm handshake.
"my apologies...Captain." he said. The expression on his face unreadable.
"well, I'm just gonna get right to it your both busy people, Jones you run the largest ship in Starfleet, it can hold double the crew and Kirk you are one of our best and brightest, were teaming you both up. One ship, 2 Crews."
"Excuse me?!" Kirk said challenge In his voice.
"yes what is going on Admiral?" I said expressing the same concern Kirk did.
"The Enterprise is being decommissioned Kirk, we figured we would experiment with co-captains. One takes day shift, one takes night shifts."
"I'm sorry sir but I don't think-" Kirk started.
"that's an order. No more if ands or buts about it. Dismissed."
Kirk was up and out of the room quick. I sat there for a moment before walking out of the room without another word. Before I was even able to walk 2 feet down the hallway, Kirk was on my heels hounding me with questions.
"Captain?! CAPTAIN?! OH MY GOD I CANT BELIEVE YOU LET ME THINK YOU WERE A NAVIGATOR! WHY DIDN'T YOU TELL ME WHO YOU WERE BEFORE I MADE MYSELF LOOK LIKE AN IDIOT!"
I stopped in my tracks. I turned around to face him, obvious signs of irritation on my face.
"I made you look like an idiot?! Seriously you do that all on your own!" I said
At that time a Vulcan man stalked up to us.
"Captain, it would be ideal if you and Captain Jones were to take this else where. The crew-" Kirk intervened at that moment turning to the Vulcan.
"wait Spock you know her?!" Kirk said.
"yes. Of course. Captain Susan Jones, youngest Starfleet Captain at 22 years old, and first woman to be in command of a Starfleet vessel." Spock then turned to me "captain." he said ignologing my presence. His facial expression never changed. He looked back to Kirk "I figured you knew last night when you were-"
"okay okay. That's good Spock." he said holding up his hand to Spocks face. I turned towards Spock.
"Thank you commander" I took one last look at Kirk before walking away. Before I was fully out of ear range I turned and said "have your crew meet my crew on dock 8 at 0600 hours. And don't be late Jim." with that I was gone.
