The McCoy's stood in the turbo lift making their way to the bridge. Jo looked slightly nervous since she has never been on the bridge of a star ship and was feeling anxious of meeting the people her father worked with. The doors to the lift open swiftly revealing the large dome like room and its busy workers. She looked all around the bridge to see everyone working in such a fast pace that she wouldn't want to interrupt. Her father lead the way into the chaos with such ease and approaching the Captain's chair where not Kirk, but a Vulcan male sat.

"Mr. Spock." Bones called. Spock turned around in the chair to see the doctor and his daughter. Spock saw that the woman did not look familiar, but assumed that she was a McCoy since he knew that she was suppose to join the crew. Spock stood up from his seat and stepped down from the pedestal.

"Yes Doctor?" Spock replied.

"I would like for you to meet my daughter Joanna McCoy. Jo this is first officer Spock."

"Pleased to meet you Mr. Spock." Jo smiled nervously.

"I am pleased to meet you as well. Your father has told me many positive things about you. I hope that you will become well acquainted with the Enterprise and her crew."

"Thank you sir."

"I will let you continue your work Spock, just wanted to introduce my kid." Bones lead his daughter forward pass the Captain's chair where two men who sat in the navigation and helms chairs. "Mr. Sulu, Mr. Chekov you boys got a moment?" Bones asked. The two turned around in their chairs.

"What's up doc?" Sulu asked.

"This is my daughter Joanna, she will be doing a internship with me in the medical bay until she starts school again."

"Nice to meet you. Hikaru Sulu, helmsmen." Sulu said. Bones looked at Chekov who looked a bit more star struck than anything. Chekov stood up and picked up Jo's hand and kissed it.

"Ensign Pavel Andreievich Chekov, navigator at your service." Chekov said in delight. Jo couldn't help but blush to the Ensigns efforts. Bones could clearly see his daughter's will to fall for this kid. He moved Chekov's hands from Jo's and puffed up his chest like any father would.

"Ok Mr. Chekov that's enough."

"Zorry doctor. Itz my Russian manners." Pavel said.

"Yeah…" Bones said. He quickly pulled Jo away from Chekov and to the communications station to see Uhura.

"Hey Uhura you got a second?" Bones asked. Uhura turned around to see the McCoy's.

"Yes, what can I do for you?" Uhura asked.

"I wanted you to meet Joanna my daughter."

"Oh yes I've heard much about you. I'm Nyota Uhura." Uhura put out her hand to shake Jo's hand.

"That's a pretty name and it was nice to meet you as well." Jo smiled.

"Medical bay to bridge." A voice from the bridges intercoms filled the room with a females voice.

"Spock here." Spock replied loudly from his chair.

"Is doctor McCoy there?" The voice said.

"McCoy here." Bones said loudly.

"Doctor your needed immediately. We have two burned patients in critical condition from engineering."

"On my way, McCoy out." Bones looked at Jo. "Sorry baby I need to go."

"Let me go with you."

"Not on this one, next time." He looked at Uhura. "Uhura your a girl, do you mind keeping her company by talking about clothes and makeup?"

"Go, I will keep watch." Uhura said.

"Oh you're a lifesaver." Bones quickly ran off the bridge and into the lifts.

"Hey I'm done with my shift. Are you hungry?" Uhura asked as pulled out her ear piece.

"Honestly yes. My dad has been showing me all around the ship and I think he forgot that I need food to move on." Jo chuckled.

"Ok well I'm starving myself we can go to the mess hall and have dinner."

"Sounds awesome."

The girls made it to the mess hall. Requesting their meals from the ships systems they took their things to a two seated table.

"So Joanna how do you like it on the ship so far?"

"I love it. Everyone is super nice and there is so much to do."

"I hear ya on that."

"Don't you ever get bored though?"

"Well this is my second year of our mission and I've had no complaints on the fun factors. Plus I work constantly, I never have too much time for fun I guess."

"Well I hope you have time from work, I would really like to hang out with you."

"Aww, I'm flattered. Ok let's break the ice then. What kind of music do you like?"

"Well my mom raised me on a lot of country music but I like all kinds of stuff. Like do you know that song called Wanna Be Me by Sean Boi?"

"Sadly yes and I love that song."

"Me too! When I first heard it I was like what the heck, but then I had to put it on my ipod."

"I have it mine too."

"You seem to have a younger generation's taste in music. Do you mind me asking how old you are?"

"Twenty five."

"What! No way. Your so young and already a lieutenant."

"I guess it takes a lot of work. So I must ask, have you seen any cute guys yet?"

"Oh my gosh yes! They are smexy."

"Smexy?"

"It's a over exaggerated way of saying sexy."

"What do you know about sexiness?"

"I'm eighteen, give me some credit."

"I guess so. So who do you have an eye on particular guy?"

"The guy you work with named Pavel."

"Aww that's so cute and it works since he's nineteen."

"But dad won't be too pleased. You should of seen his face when Pavel kissed my hand" Jo and Uhura laughed. "Nyota I think you might become my new BFF."

Doctor McCoy had no trouble mending the injured burned crewmembers but had to put them under critical care, meaning more hours in the medical bay. After four hours over the knife he was tired, so tired that he didn't want to move from the seat he was sitting in. He looked at the time, it was five minutes after eleven. He figured Joanna was sleeping by now, but owed it to her to see her. Pushing his old bones up from his chair he limped all the way to Jo's quarters. Pressing the button on the door to tell if he was there the door slid open to show a practically half sleep woman. She rubbed her eyes and yawned.

"Hmmm daddy come in." She stood to the side to let him in.

"Hey darling I'm so sorry to leave you."

"Its your job, soon enough I will be doing the same." He sat on her sofa, she sat next to him laying her head on his shoulder. "How did it go?"

"Well successful, but tiring. The crew members needed to placed in critical care, I'm going to need your help tomorrow though. I hope you understand why I didn't want you to come."

"I understand."

"Well tomorrow I will give you a run down in sick bay and treat those burned victims. Come to my room at eight and I will make you breakfast, then you and I will be off."
