Commander Riker finished his lesson plan and allowed his students to leave. He smiled at the cadets as they exited the crowded room. Riker watched as the last student left the classroom, then proceeded to gather his things. He did so in hurried fashion and strolled out of the room. As Riker walked out of the classroom he suddenly bumped into a unsuspecting student. Both the student's and his PADDs ell to the floor in a clutter. Riker sighed and looked down at the mess. It would take forever to figure out which PADDs belong to whom. The student smiled in embarrassment at Commander Riker. She felt a little foolish. Will examined the student for a moment and realized she was a lovely young lady. He was a little attracted to the young woman. However, Riker quickly brushed the thought from his mind. She's a student for crying out loud, he thought.
"I'm sorry Commander. I didn't mean to for this to happen." apologized Cadet Vanessa Starkey as she picked up some of the PADDs.
Riker smiled lightly and began to help the cadet with the PADDs. Both Starfleet personnel gathered up the PADDs quickly and tried to sort them out. After what seemed like an eternity, they managed to decipher which PADD belong to whom. Riker stacked his small pile on top of one another and held them firmly in his hands. Vanessa imitated her superior officer and did the same. Both personnel looked at one another for a moment. There was an awkward silence. Finally, Vanessa took the opportunity to speak.
"I just wanted to say Commander, that I really enjoyed your class. I'm excited to learn more about the Borg and the tactics used against them."
Riker shook his head in mild surprise. He had not realized that the cadet had been in his class. The Commander smiled broadly as he nodded his head in affirmation.
"I'm sorry, I didn't realize you were in my class. You're right, the information is really exciting, lied Riker, I hope you get a lot out of my class. It is very useful information."
Vanessa noticed that she had been nodding her head the whole time Riker spoke. She felt like her head was going to fall off her neck. Christ Vanessa, get a hold of yourself, she thought in embarrassment. Riker continued to speak.
"What did you say your name was?" asked Riker with a small grin.
"I didn't say but my name is Starkey; Cadet Vanessa Starkey. It's a pleasure to meet you Commander Riker."
"Likewise, Cadet. Anyway, I have to go but it was a nice bumping into you." stated Will with a lame attempt at a joke.
However, Starkey acted as if it were the funniest thing she had ever heard. She suddenly began to laugh rather loud. The cadets passing by in the hall looked at Vanessa as if she were a Klingon Warrior in a female nightgown. Even Will Riker had a confused expression on his face. Vanessa quickly stopped laughing. She felt like such an ass. Starkey wanted nothing more than to crawl in a hole and die. Riker nodded at the cadet in mild amusement and quickly headed down the hall, far away from Vanessa. Well, that went perfect, thought Vanessa as the idea of suicide played in her head.

For Will Riker, the school week seemed to go by fairly quickly and he was glad. Even though Will found himself thinking about the Enterprise more and more, Captain Rachael Finnegan had made the week slip by rather fast. The two Starfleet Officers had been together every night, from the time Will asked Rachael out. On their first date, all they did was talk but by the second night, Will found himself in Rachael's bed. The time they spent together had made Will's classes much more tolerable and the nights much more enjoyable.
Will and Rachael had just finished making love and both of them snuggled together on Rachael's bed. Will laid flat on his back as he enjoyed the softness of the sheets under him. He also enjoyed the softness of Rachael's body over him. Finnegan had gently laid her head on Riker's shoulder and began to lightly massage his chest. Will responded by pulling her closer and placing his hand on her bare hip. Planet side isn't so bad, thought Riker with a smile.
"That was great, Will." cooed Rachael as she nibbled on Will's neck.
Riker smiled with self-satisfaction but he still had a heavy heart. Riker enjoyed his time with Finnegan but all he could think about was getting back to the Enterprise. Will imagined himself standing next to Captain Picard and both men looking upon the Enterprise's viewing screen. Riker could see the new starship racing through space, with bright stars flashing by. Here he was with a beautiful woman and all Will could think about was hearing the hum of the Enterprise's engines. Rachael could see that Will was distant so she tapped him lightly on the forehead, forcing the Commander out of his trance.
"Hey, you still in there?" laughed Rachael, referring to Will's brain.
Riker glared at Finnegan devilishly. He realized that she was teasing him, so he decided to get some revenge against her. Suddenly, Will began to tickle Rachael. Rachael struggled playfully against his tickling assault but was not very productive, due to the fact she was laughing too hard. Their naked bodies intertwined as they wrestled for the combative advantage. Riker quickly discovered he was the stronger of the two so he pinned Finnegan's wrists to the bed. He then used the weight of his body to keep her immobile. Will hovered over Rachael and their eyes met. Riker's testosterone levels had increased again and he found himself aroused. Rachael could fell his erection pressed up against her pelvic bone, which turned her on greatly. Will could see the passion in her eyes. Suddenly, their lips pressed together, and Rachael moaned softly as they melded into each other. Riker temporarily forgot about his desire to return to the Enterprise. He had other desires that seemed much more important.

Cadet Vanessa Starkey sighed loudly as she stared blankly at the computer screen in front of her. Vanessa had been studying for well over two hours and she felt as if her head was going to explode. Starkey had experienced a terrible week. She had spent the whole time studying and had not had encountered an ounce of human contact. She was lonely. Her roommate, Mary Hollingsworth, had already fallen asleep and there was no one for Vanessa to talk to. Cadet Starkey was beginning to see the disadvantages of being a study freak. Although Vanessa found herself ready for most Academy tests, her social life had plummeted into a dark pit and showed no sighs of returning. She sighed and thought about Cadet Jonathon Hale. Hale was extremely annoying and sometimes made her skin crawl, but Vanessa realized she had not given him a fair chance. Maybe I will go out with him once, thought Starkey. Suddenly, the image of Commander William Riker plunged into her brain and caused the cadet to blush. Will Riker embodied everything that Vanessa looked for in a man. He was handsome, smart, and adventurous. However, it was just a childhood crush. There was no way that anything could ever happen between her and Riker. He was a Commander in Starfleet and extremely important. Vanessa was just a lowly cadet and besides, their first encounter had been something of a joke, that was at Vanessa's expense. She could not act normal around him. There was no use in even thinking about Will Riker. Vanessa sighed once again and headed off to bed. That night she dreamt about Will Riker, wearing nothing but a smile.

Cadet Jonathon Hale, Cadet Sor'tok, and Cadet David Lorenzo walked across the Academy Campus in the dark of night. They had just finished working out and all three men were tired. However, they continued to chat and laugh with one another, as they headed back to their dormitory. They were on the subject of girls and discussed one girl in particular.
" Man, I don't know why you torture yourself. How many times does Vanessa Starkey have to say no before you get the hint? When are you going to give up?" laughed Lorenzo as he patted Hale on the shoulder.
"Dave, a true romantic never gives up. I really like her and I know that she really likes me. She just hasn't realized it yet." replied Jonathon as he blotted his face with a towel.
"Whatever you say Johnny, but I think it's a hopeless case." stated Lorenzo with a smile etched across his face.
"Humans are such illogical beings, stated Sor'tok, Why do you subject yourself to inner turmoil in the issues of love?"
Suddenly, Cadet Lorenzo began to laugh. He could not believe the irony in Sor'tok's statement. A Vulcan had no right to lecture anyone on the matters of love.
"What do Vulcans know about love anyway? They act like a bunch of apes when it comes to finding love and a mate. Pon'Far is a brutal thing and it's all in the name of love." laughed Lorenzo, followed by a snicker from Hale.
Sor'tok thought about the previous statement for a moment. Lorenzo did have a point. Pon'Far was an act of male dominance and instinct. There was nothing logical about it.
"Point well seen." stated Sor'tok as the three men entered the dormitory.
"Anyway, It doesn't matter. I will never give up on Vanessa. She will be mine and nothing will stand in the way of that." declared Jonathon as the dormitory doors hissed shut behind him.
