Chapter Two
I stared at the clothes Nurse Chapel gave me. It was a dress like all the other women on the ship except it was grey. I put the black boots on and did my red hair up in a ponytail. I took a proper look around the room. Everything is so different. I picked up the Pad left on the table. I searched up what happened in the last two thousand years or so. And a lot had happened. I searched my name up. I found articles from 2013 on my disappearance. I clicked on the video. A news reporter sat behind her desk.
"Skylar Jones was reported missing two months ago by her friend Lexi Myers. Local police have searched Skylar's apartment but have found no trace of her. Her disappearance has shocked her family. Skylar's mother reported that' my daughter would not run away, or go somewhere without telling us'. Police believe she was taken from the alleyway when her friend Lexi Myers was highly intoxicated".
I stopped the video seething, Lexi was not intoxicated dipshits. I put the Padd down. I walked over to the screen imbedded in the wall. I picked a movie from my time and started watching it. Love Actually. A knock distracted me from the movie. I opened the door to find a person in a red shirt I didn't know.
"Captain Kirk requests you in the conference room" he said.
"You'll have to show me where it is" I replied. He nodded. I followed him through the ship and into a room. In the room was a long table in the middle and a screen on the wall in front of it. On the screen was a man in a grey and white uniform. Around the table sat Captain Kirk, Bones, Spock, a lady and a man I didn't recognise.
"Skylar Jones this is Admiral Christopher Pike of Starfleet" kirk introduced me to the man on the screen.
"Hello sir" I said. I sat next to the woman in the red dress.
"We are here to address the matter of how Skylar Jones beamed aboard the USS Enterprise" Admiral Pike addressed.
"Mr Scott the engineer tracked the coordinates and Miss Jones did in fact beam from the year 2013" Spock said.
"Aye I did" Mr Scott said.
"The Enterprise passed over a pocket connected with the year 2013"Spock said.
"I was bout to get on fix'n the padds but I hav' lots on me plate, as we passed the pocket the ship picked up her atoms and that brout her ere" Mr Scott said his Scottish accent very strong.
"So it could have been anyone that beamed her, just my luck it was me" I asked.
"Yes we believe so" Kirk answered.
"Can I get back, you could I don't know fly back over the pocket and beam me down"
"We do not know the exact location of the pocket, if we did beaming you down would be highly illogical, your atoms would be separated around space" Spock said in his no emotion routine how he cannot show any emotion is beyond me and scares the shit out of me.
"Captain Kirk and all crew aboard the bridge at the time of Miss Jones's arrival to report to Starfleet command at 0900 hours Wednesday morning" Admiral Pike said.
"Yes sir". The screen went black. Kirk turned to me.
"How are you settling in" he asked.
"Fine everything is just so different I mean we had movies about this stuff you know the future how robots will take over the world or a zombie apocalypse" everyone chuckled.
"Well you can see the world didn't get over taken by robots or everyone turn into zombies" Kirk smirked.
"Yes well yeah" I said. My cheeks grew hot.
"Well I'm off to the mess hall to get me a sandwich" Mr Scott said he got up and left. I liked him.
"Uhura could you show Skylar to the mess hall and then have some girl bonding time" kirk winked at us. Uhura glared at him as he left with Spock and bones.
"How are you" she asked. I was kind of shocked only bones had asked me how I was.
"Okay I guess, how about you"
"Good, I'll show you where the mess hall is come on". She showed me all kinds of way to get there and ways to get to the bridge. We talked about my life in 2013 and how many languages she could speak. She also told me all about Vulcans, so Spocks emotionless face doesn't unnerve me anymore. I knew we would be good friends. She told me stories of Jim Kirk how he's a man whore and the youngest Starfleet captain ever. That amazed me.
"Did you have any boyfriends that you left behind" uhura asked. We were sitting in the mess hall at a table near the back. I could feel most of the crew's eyes on me. Uhura told me to ignore it.
"Nope I'm a single cringle sad isn't it"
"No maybe you'll find a guy here" she said I blushed slightly but she noticed.
"Oh you have, you have a crush don't you'
"No I don't"
"Yes you do, who is it, its Kirk isn't it" she gasped.
"No it's not Kirk"
"Then who"
"it's bones" I mumbled under my breath.
"Sorry didn't hear you"
"It's bones alright"
"Dr Leonard McCoy, you like the doctor, oh that's so cute" she squealed.
"So whatever" I shrugged hoping she would just drop the matter.
"Christine come here" Uhura called. Nurse Chapel had just walked in. she walked over to us and sat down on the bench next to me.
"What is it" she asked.
"Skylar likes McCoy"
"You do, oh that's so cute" she smiled.
"I know that's what I said" Uhura chuckled.
"Okay guys it's not that big of a deal, anyway I heard that you're going out with Spock" I said changing the subject
"She is and they are so cute together, I wish I had a man" Christine zooned out. I looked at uhura she just shook her head and went back to her salad.
I wandered around the ship, I was supposed to report to McCoy for a check-up but I knew Chapel would be there giving me those looks so I just wandered aimlessly around the Enterprise. I meet all kinds of people. More engineers, security, science officers in their labs. Half of the stuff they talked about sounded like gibberish to be, but they were understanding and I listened anyway. I headed to the bridge, I actually hadn't been there properly so might as well check it out. The turmoil doors opened.
"Can I come aboard the bridge captain" I asked mock saluting him.
"Permission granted" he said. I walked in and stared out at space. I watched the stares fly past us.
"That's space, I can see space, holy shit that's fucking space" I whispered. A few crew members heard me and chuckled.
"Med Bay to Bridge" Bones voice rang out in the bridge.
"Kirk here, what is it bones"
"Skylar is supposed to be down here, tell her to get her ass down here I have other patients waiting" he grumbled. The noise of patients complaining could be heard in the background. Kirk looked at me.
"I'm not here" I whispered to Kirk.
"I haven't seen her bones, I'll send Uhura out to look for her" I could her bones grunt.
"Spock I now you can't lie is Skylar there" bones asked. That sneaky bugger.
"Yes she is Dr McCoy"
"Spock" Kirk said.
"Vulcans cannot lie captain"
"Hi" I said shyly, sad I got caught.
"Down to medical bay" he said.
"Fine I'm coming" I sighed. I waved bye to Kirk, Uhura and Spock and hopped in the turmoil. I made my way down to the medical wing, walking as slow as I could. It's not that I didn't want to see him I did it's just I would make a fool of myself and I hate it when I do that. I walked in. Dr McCoy was treating another patient giving him a hypospray. He saw me come in and nodded towards an empty bed. I sat on it and waited for him to finish up with his other patient.
"You're as bad as Jim you know" bones said as he walked over. He grabbed the Tricorder and took down the readings.
"I just don't like check-ups and anyway I'm fine no dizziness, fainting spells nausea, nothing I do have a headache though" I said. I smiled at him and He returned one faintly.
"Good, do you get motion sickness" he asked.
"No"
"I do" he grumbled. I chuckled. He gave me a hypospray for the headache. I thanked him and left. Chapel left with me.
"Did you see the way he looked at you" she giggled.
"Were you watching bones and I the whole time" I asked.
"So maybe I was, nut did you see"
"Yes he was looking at me like he looks at any of his other patients"
"No I can see it in his eyes he likes you". I stopped in the middle of the hallway, causing people to walk around Christine and me.
"Why would he like me?"
"Because you are one beautiful woman" I blushed hard.
"Thanks".
"I'm going to talk to him" she announced.
"No you won't"
"Don't worry it will be fine" she reassured me. I don't think I can change her mind. And secretly I don't think I want her to.
