Chapter 2

Three years later

"Why are you so happy?" McCoy asked Jim when they left class.

"I don't know what you are talking about," Jim avoided the question.

"Oh I don't supposed you do."

"Hello ladies," Jim saw two very beautiful cadets walk past them. "I'm taking the test again."

"You got to be kidding me," McCoy stopped walking.

"Yeah tomorrow morning and I want you to be there."

"I got other things to do than watch you embarrass yourself for the third time. I'm a doctor Jim, I'm busy. And I also think Jasmine thinks you are crazy for doing it. Many of the professors make fun of her because you are taking the test again."

"It doesn't bother you that nobody pass? And Jasmine doesn't care what other people say about her."

"Jim, it's the Kobayashi Maru. No one pass the test and no one goes back for second, let along thirds."

"I gotta study," Jim said and walked away.

"Study my ass," McCoy mumbled then walked away.

"So, how are you and Commander Spock? Did you tell him yet?" Uhura asked.

"We are doing great. And no, I didn't say anything to him yet," Jasmine answered.

Uhura was the only one, beside Christopher Pike, that knows about Jasmine and Spock.

"How does it feel tone married to a Vulcan?"

"Half-Vulcan you mean? It's nice, but I would love it if he shows emotion through his face and not his eyes."

"...I bet he shows emotion when you guys are in the bedroom..." Uhura mumbled.

"What did you say?" Jasmine asked.

"Nothing," Uhura smiled innocently.

The two of them spend their night in the long range sensor lab. The both of them didn't have anything bitterroot do. The continued to talk until they saw a emergency transmission.

"What is it?" Uhura asked.

"Looks like a Klingon prison planet," Jasmine answered, looking at the computer.

"Forty-seven ships were destroyed," Uhura gasped.

"Well, I'm sure it's nothing worry about," jasmine said, "We should leave."

"You want to come back to my room?" Uhura asked. "You still have some of your clothes still there."

"Yeah, sure. I want to get out of this uniform anyway."

The two walked back to Uhura's room.

"Hey," Gailia, Uhura's green alien roommate, greeted them in her underwear.

"Hey," Uhura and Jasmine greeted back.

"How are you?" Uhura asked.

"Fine," Gailia said, "Commander Kirk, what are you doing here?"

"Gailia, you can call me Jasmine or Jas. And I'm here because I don't want to go back to my room yet," Jasmine started to take off her clothes.

"The strangest thing happened," Uhura said, stripping down to her underwear, "Me and Jas was in the long range sensor lab. We were tracking solar systems and we picked up an emergency transmission."

"Really?" Gailia asked.

"Yeah," Jasmine answered, "Forty-seven ships were destroyed on a Klingon prison planet."

"So you two aren't going back to the lab tonight?" Gailia asked.

Jasmine and Uhura both looked at Gailia, "Who is he?"

"Who's who?"

"The cadet under your bed," Jasmine glared.

"Yeah, the mouth breather," Uhura said.

"You can hear me breathing?" Jim jumped out from under Gailia's bed.

"You!" Uhura yelled.

"James!" Jasmine screamed.

"Big day tomorrow," Jim said, leaving, "And Jasmine, you look good in just your underwear."

"Get out Kirk!"

"You're going to fail," Uhura said, pushing him to the door.

"Well goodnight ladies...Jas."

"I still can't believe he is your brother," Uhura looked at Jasmine.

""Me either," Jasmine said, heading to the door. "Goodnight."

"Why is Jim taking the test again?" Jasmine asked.

"It is illogical," Spock responded.

Jasmine was in her and Spock's quarter, grading papers on the morning of Jim's Kobayashi Maru test.

"Nobody goes back for second, or third."

Since Spock and Jasmine created the test, they aren't surprised to see everyone fail. But with Jim, they were surprised to hear that he will take it again.

"We will see what will happen later on today," Spock said, tapping away on his PADD.

Jasmine looked at him and thought about telling Spock her news. "Spock, I have to tell you something."

Spock looked at Jasmine in concern, "Is something the matter?"

"Spock, I'm-"

The alarm on both Spock's and Jasmine's PADD went off.

"We have to go now to see Cadet Kirk do the test," Spock informed Jasmine.

"Yes Commander," Jasmine sighed.

"We are receiving a distress signal from the U.S.S. Kobayashi Maru. The ship is stranded and Starfleet commands us to rescue them," Uhura said in a boring tone.

"Starfleet commands us to rescue them...Captain," Jim said.

"Why isn't he taking this seriously?" Jasmine mumbled to herself.

Jasmine was watching Jim take his test above with the other officers.

"Are photons. Prepare to fire on the Klingon war birds."

"Jim, their swirled are still up," McCoy informed.

"Are they?" Jim took a bite out of his apple.

McCoy looked at his screen, "No. They're not."

"Commander Kirk, is Cadet Kirk taking this seriously?" Commander Smith asked.

"I have no idea."

"So! We've managed to eliminate all enemy ships, no on on board was hurt, and the successful rescue of the Kobayashi Maru is underway," Jim took another bite on his apple.

"How the hell did that kid beat your test?" Another commander asked Jasmine and Spock.

"...I do not know," Jasmine and Spock said together.

ST

"I can't believe he cheated on the test," Jasmine paced back and forth.

"I talked to the council about it. They want a trial within an hour," Spock said.

"He should have known better."

"I want you to help me with Cadet Kirk's trial."

"I cannot help you. Even if Kirk cheated. He is still my brother," Jasmine looked down to her feet.

Spock lifted her head, "I understand," then he kissed her on her lips, "You look like you need rest T'hy'la."

"But I don't want to take a nap," Jasmine ran her hands down Spock's chest. "Come on."

Jasmine grabbed Spock's hands and pulled him into the bedroom and pushed him on the bed.
