Random: Well, it's me… back from my momentary "Star Trek" Fan High. As some of you may know, the movie is out and I can't help but spasm over it, especially at the Spork and the McKirk friendship hints. This (and the epic moment where Spock screamed bloody murder before going stir crazy), of course, have inspired this little fanfiction.

I seriously have to finish my other fanfics. (-_-)

I don't own Star Trek or Pokémon Special.

[•◊•||Chapter 1: Recruitment||•◊•]


Ruby

The unfamiliar buzz of an alarm clock was, surprisingly, what woke Ruby from his peaceful and dreamless sleep.

He sat up and warily eyed his dorm for any sign of his golden eyed roommate but found none, which was a relief to the young raven haired man. But knowing Gold he'd be dragged here eventually with local police behind him and he'd have to vouch for his innocence even though Gold really did initiate a bar fight late last night, which he insisted was entirely the bartender's fault.

He didn't quite know what drew him to the boy, knowing of his maverick-like personality. The only reason he was still friends with his raven haired senior was because he was the only one, surprisingly, who talked sense in Starfleet Academy, he quickly realized. Albeit a crazy, determined, and suicidal kind of sense but he talked sense nonetheless.

'Oh please, the only reason you became friends with him is because he was the only recruit who didn't give a damn that your father is a high ranking officer in the Starfleet' he thought, shaking his head.

Ruby decided not to think about it for now as he stood up and dressed in casual clothes, which to him consisted of a pair of black slacks, sneakers, and a red button-up shirt. Placing his poufy white hat on top of his head, making sure that it covered a fairly large scar on his forehead, he fixed his bed and set out to make breakfast for himself.

And like he predicted, Gold was dragged home by a couple of local policemen. He knew what he would find behind his formerly closed dormitory door even before he opened it. But nevertheless he vouched for Gold's innocence, and was left with a hurried warning from the irate and impatient officers. They left muttering but didn't question him any further when they found out his father was the Rear Admiral of the Starfleet.

Ruby ignored the alcohol induced mockery made by the completely unprofessional police officers and turned to his roommate who sat morosely on their sleek black apartment couch.

"Honestly, Gold?" he raised a brow, crossing his arms and tapping his foot on the incredibly clean marble floor.

"I don't want to talk about it Ruby…" Gold groaned, burying his face in the sofa pillow dejectedly.

Despite himself, Ruby frowned upon noticing the gloomy attitude of his (arguably) best friend in this god-forsaken academy for flying freaks, as Gold so kindly put it.

Just as Ruby was about to sit next to the other raven haired boy what happened the night before his phone started ringing. He reached for the IPhone5 and slid a finger across the clear touch screen, receiving the call.

"Ruby…" he winced just hearing his voice, the rough and weathered monotone Ruby absolutely detested.

"Yes… Dad" he gritted his teeth and shared a curious glance with Gold.

The golden eyed boy raised a brow and mouthed 'why?'.

Ruby shrugged, not knowing what possessed his father to call him now.

"Meet me at the Starfleet Headquarters, there is someone I want you to meet" the older man stated, his tone still mechanical.

"What's going on? I thought I was supposed to be assigned to a Starship only when I graduated. And just as an Ensign…" Ruby asked, stating the significance of ranks in a Starfleet official Starship.

"You and that little friend of yours are being transferred to the U.S.S. Enterprise" Ruby's father explained, obviously irritated by all of his son's questions.

"Wait, the Enterprise… isn't that the Starfleet's flagship?" he concluded, Gold's eyes widening as he dropped the couch pillow and inched closer to hear Ruby and his dad's conversation.

"Yes, the Captain of the Starship is a friend of mine. He's requested for you personally…" his father said proudly but Ruby grimaced, knowing the role his father played in this.

"What does he want?" Ruby asked, plopping down on the couch next to Gold who was still listening intently.

There was a long period of silence before Norman finally responded to his son's question, Ruby could imagine the stoic expression on his father's face as he said it…

"He wants you to come onboard the Enterprise and be tutored under him as the Starship's successor…" he explained further, causing Ruby to drop the phone.

"Ruby? Ruby!" his father yelled, but Ruby sat there frozen.

"Ruby? Man, what did he say?" Gold slapped his junior a little, trying to get him to talk.

"I think… I think I'm being recruited to be the Captain of the Starfleet's flagship"

Gold

I honestly never thought this would happen…

Gold thought as he weaved out of the small transport ship that brought him and his crimson eyed roommate to the Starship's docks.

I always thought I'd die in some bar somewhere, passed out and cold from a bar fight. I always thought I'd never amount to anything, that's what the instructors at the academy said, because I was too reckless…

He lowered his head, faintly recognizing the fleshy form on his left.

But… that girl from last night…

He perked up at the sight of a cap stretched over a head of dark colored hair but shook his head, blaming it on the hangover.

Since getting the call from Ruby's dad we packed quickly and headed to the Starfleet Headquarters where Rear Admiral Norman shipped them off to the docks. He barely had any time to throw on some clothes but he ended up dressed in a shirt, a red, white, and black hoodie, black slacks, and a pair of beaten old travel sneakers. It wasn't much but he figured they'd get uniforms when they got there. They definitely didn't expect the sudden promotion anyway.

And when a couple of Ensigns lead them to a platform they certainly didn't expect to be beamed up onto the Transport Room of the Enterprise.

Gold just stood and stared with his duffel bag full of clothes clinging to one of his arms as a bright light engulfed them both and teleported them up to the ship where both he and Ruby stumbled unceremoniously on the floor, not used to being beamed up to the ship.

"Captain, they're here" a girl with long dark brown hair and metallic grey eyes said, a slight lilt of Russian in her voice as she called for her captain, all the while never leaving the short blonde boy behind the control panel who wore a strange circus-like outfit.

Gold gave the girl a mischievous grin and a hint of a flirtatious wink. And even though his advances were only half-hearted the small blonde boy still stepped in front of her protectively, effectively surprising the brunette who wore a red shirt along with a black skirt and heels.

If that's the standard girl's uniform I think I'll like it here after all…

Gold stood up, seeing as Ruby had already done so while complaining about the state of his clothes.

"Is he for real?" the small blonde boy asked, a slight intonation in his voice suggested a Scottish background.

"Yeah, pretty much…" Gold rolled his eyes, handing Ruby his fallen backpack.

"Hey!" Ruby glared at Gold in that a little intimidating yet not quite the best he can do sort of way he always does, but Gold shrugs it off before stiffening at the oncoming man with a stature that gave away immediately that he was the captain.

The newcomer smiled welcomingly at the two new recruits, the color of his shirt not quite matching up to the older man's complexion but he seemed to wear it out of duty if anything.

Gold knew Ruby was probably already looking over the uniforms in disgust, noting the terrible shade of yellow and the sad skill of the stitching. But Gold looked up at the captain of the ship and saw glee, he saw happiness and adventure in the weathered Captain's bright crimson eyes.

He turned sharply and looked at Ruby's almost identical gaze and realized why this captain had chosen him.

It was buried deeply, but the brightness Gold saw in Ruby's eyes reminded him of the Captain's.

"Hi there, Captain. My name is Gold. I'm the recruit for the Transporter." He grinned up at the captain and shook his hand.

"Hello, Gold. I'm Captain Red. I guess you'll have to get comfortable because this is your station" Red said, extending a hand to the wide expanse of the room they were teleported to.

"And these are the Chief of Engineering, Emerald, and Cadet Amethyst" they both bowed out of respect, Emerald quickly taking a liking to Gold due to his more mischievous persona.

Gold couldn't seem to stop grinning as he surveyed the ship from the inside while Ruby introduced himself.

"And I am Ruby. I was recruited to serve as your successor, so I have been told" he said, plainly. Gold could tell Ruby still didn't believe he'd been chosen.

"Very good… very good" Red nodded approvingly.

"Blue, take your apprentice to the bridge and call Green. The recruits are here…" he said, pressing the button on the comm. piece attached to his ear.

"Yes, Captain" they heard a woman's faint reply.

"Wonderful" he smiled widely, turning to Ruby and Gold with a gleam in his eye.

"Welcome, both of you, to the Enterprise" he grinned.

Random: Wahaha! Who can guess who 'that girl' Gold mentioned was? :)

I definitely do not own Star Trek, but if I did there would be more Spork and McKirk friendship and the guy who plays Leonard McCoy would be that guy who plays Bruce Banner in Avengers the Movie. :D

I'm pretty sure I'll update this soon (*dodges garbage thrown at her by angry readers*) so "Live long and Prosper" all~! :)
