Chapter Two: what ¼ Vulcans are made of!
Elpis walked into the neon lit bar, techno music booming from different areas through out the place. She looked around the place hoping to find that mischievous smile that Kirk always had on his face. Many red shirted cadets crawled around the local bar, drinking, and having a good time. Elpis sat at the one of the tables in the back corner, where she could see them but not the other way about.
"Hey Elpis, what will you be having tonight," Smiled the poppy seed red haired waitress, Elpis thought carefully trying to remember the girls name, and not of the drink she was suppose to order. Elpis put her index fingers to her dark pink lips and squinted.
"I'll come back and ask you later, Hun." Elpis nodded in agreement not paying any attention to what she was saying and still trying to reminder her name, no matter how useless it would be in the ear future.
"Hay, Aline how about another drink," yelled a drunken men from across the room. Elpis hit her head on to the table because of her stupidity, and moaned in defeat. It took a few minutes to get over the illogical silliness of her forgetfulness, Aline came back but instead of asking for her order, she sat down a beer.
"You know Kirks over there flirting with some red shirt chick." Aline winked as if implying something.
Elpis looked over to the area the red hair pointed to see Kirk hitting on a female cadet. Soon a buff cadet tried to put Kirk back into his place. Elpis let out a soft annoyed sigh as the fight broke out, the sound of glasses breaking, and flesh-hitting flesh heard through out the bar. Elpis pushed through the crowd toward the two men. She stood between them as she glared at both. "You," she started at the cadet, "are part of Starfleet, so act like it and not like a teenage boy who want to kick someone's ass just because he's mad at his father." She quickly turns towards Kirk, "And you Kirk…can you not act like as a child for once in your life." Kirk Sheepishly grinned like a child catch trying to steal a cookie before dinner.
"Elpis, long time no see," Kirk said trying to smooth things. The other man pushed Elpis out of the way and continued to fight Kirk. Elpis tried to regain her footing and caught her breath, oh great a meat-head she thought as she tried to settle the anger bubbling inside her. Before Elpis had a chance to react, a loud whistle rang through the bar, all eyes turn towards the noise. There stood Captain Christopher Pike, Elpis knew of him from her father. Both Denzel and Pike serve together, not that they were great friend or anything but they respected one another just fine. "You whistle really loud, you know that."
Elpis stared at ceiling, it somewhat sadden her that she was unable to say good bye to her best friend, most likely it would be years before she would see him again…well that saying he didn't do anything stupid, while she was gone. She sat up on her bed and looked towards her clock the bright red light blinked 2:43 AM. She had to get some sleep or she would be tried on the shuttle ride, normally she would of done something to wore herself out but she all ready packed her carry-on bag and her father would sent the important objects to the academy once had all her classes settle.
Elpis close eyes as she crisscrossed her legs, began to mediating, she tried to have peace of mind, trying to control her emotions, that otherwise made her a hothead. Not a trait a Vulcan should have, if anyone was to find out she was a Vulcan, she would most likely seen as illogical and a disappointment to her mother. Unlike popular belief, Vulcan's have emotions but under the teaching of Surk they control them fully, even if Elpis did not remember must about her mother, the stories her father told her, explain how prideful she was.
The bright sunrays shined on Elpis's golden wavy hair as she awoke, stretching her arm in a manner like a cat, her tongue sticking out as her yawned. She quickly got herself ready and said good-bye. Her father eye shined with pride while her sister's darken with annoyance. "Make me proud," yelled her father as she rode always.
"Doesn't she always," May said under her breathe.
Elpis sat in her seat on the space shuffle, a little smile formed on Elpis's lip, the slight feeling of happiness played with her stomach. "I guess it's time to show Starfleet what I'm made of."
