This is Illogical: Chapter Three.
The class hadn't ended yet, but I decided to be a man and go and check on her. If she was in full belief that we were close and now I had just been a major prick to her, she must be in shambles. I forced myself to push aside my curiosity about her and Sulu's relationship and figured I would merely focus on getting up the gall to apologize to her. She really did deserve it. I exited the class after the two of them when I saw her curled up against the wall with a bag of ice over her eye and Sulu holding her glasses. He was kneeling down in front of her with a concerned look on his face. I attempted to look a little closer and saw that she was crying something fierce. I couldn't hear her words clearly, but I heard a couple of statements after closer observation. The phrases, 'I just don't understand,' and 'I wish I knew what was going through his head' were some of the most audible ones. I watched her as she just cried her heart out, as Sulu reached out for her shoulder. I watched carefully until I was snapped out of my concentration from someone running past me.
I watched as the guy ran up to Jesse which caused Sulu to back off. I hadn't caught a good look on his face, but I saw that he embraced the girl quickly. My heart sank a little bit when I saw her arms wrap around his neck as she began to wipe her tears. I decided to get a closer look at who this guy was, even though I assumed it was the boyfriend she was staying with. I watched as Sulu begin to walk away as I grabbed him and yanked him behind a locker. He looked at me and then crossed his arms when he realized who had grabbed him.
"Who is that guy?" I asked, as I saw Sulu scoff.
"Come on man, don't act like you don't know him. He hates your guts, always tries to beat you up when he sees you around Jesse, is twenty-four and works in a mine for a living?" He said, rolling his eyes. "Look man, I don't know what's up with you today, but it's really screwing with Jesse. So cut it out!" He said before storming off.
I took in a deep breath and walked over to her. "Hey, you okay?" I asked, but my breath was quickly hitched in my throat as the man who she was hugging turned his head at me. My jaw dropped and my eyes widened as I stumbled backwards. The eyes were the same hateful, dark, color that I remembered. His face was a lot younger than I remember, and now he had a full head of dark, black, hair. "Nero?!" I half-screamed.
He stood to his feet as he got closer to me. "Who do you think you are?!" He asked, shoving me against the wall.
"You're dead! Your ship was destroyed!" I spoke out in hysterics.
"What are you on?!" He asked, shoving me once again. I reared my fist back and punched him across the face. This caused him to quickly retaliate with a punch to my face. I remember my head hitting the back wall incredibly hard and bouncing back a couple of times before I fell to the floor. I heard Jesse screaming about something and Nero screaming back at her. These were the last things I heard before I managed to pass out peacefully.

I was so lost and confused. It was lunch time and I was now sitting practically strapped to the girl that claimed to own me. If my Vulcan impulses would allow it, I would break down and cry. Unfortunately, I was too terrified of what this girl might do to me if I was to show such feminine acts in front of her. I had seen her smart off to one of the biggest girls I had ever seen in my existence and this caused her to run off and cry. Quite frankly, I was frozen in fear next to her. She was laughing and talking with some of her other friends as she tugged on my arm lightly and I pushed forth quite possibly the worst attempt at fake laughter I could ever imagine to muster. It was obviously forced through my teeth and last after everyone had given me those awkward stares. I got an even more awkward look from the girl on my side before she rolled her eyes.
"Spock, you're really out of it," She said, getting closer to my face. I watched as the rest of the girls resumed conversation with one another as her breath began to trail along my neck. "You want me to bring you back to the real world?" She asked before pecking me on the neck quite erotically. I twitched violently as I clung to my chair for dear life.
"I apologize Audrey. I seem to be feeling a little under the weather. I'm going to escort myself to the nurse's office and see if he knows what might be wrong with me," I said raising to my feet and taking quick, but professional steps towards the main hallway. I had taken the liberty of nerve pinching a younger student who had a map of the school and memorizing the important coordinates for my own gain.
I finally was able to find where the office was where the nurse's office was attached as well. I stepped inside and carefully examined the front desk lady who looked to be of an albino clingon descent.
"Excuse me, but I wish to see the school nurse. I am feeling incredibly light headed and my memory seems to be slightly fuzzy," I decided to try and speak with her in the most common of ways a student would speak to a secretary.
The lady perked a brow and then crossed her arms. "Nurse McCoy, I think we got another one!" She hollered out to a last name that I was very familiar with.
The man poked his head out and I realized that I was now staring at Leonard McCoy in medical school scrubs. It almost made me chuckle, but I decided to hold back my current emotion as I made quick steps into the room. He shut the door behind me and I looked over at him quickly, knowing that he was more than likely desperate for an explanation. He opened his mouth to ask me what was going on, but I was quick to answer him without having to listen to him swear or raise his voice.
"The worm-hole we were investigating seemed to have pulled us into an alternate reality set in the year 2009. I'm not sure why and I'm not particularly sure how to get out of it, however I believe there are still people on the ship." I spoke fluidly like Bones was used to hearing before I continued. "I met with Lieutenant Uhura today in school and instead of the same frantic matter everyone else I have come in contact with, she behaved quite strangely. As if we had ended our relationship months ago and she threatened to beat me into the previous night."
McCoy cocked a brow before shaking his head. "At least you've been doing some kind of research," I watched as he nodded towards a lifeless body that had been lying on his examination table. It was that of James T. Kirk who was very much unconscious from what I could tell.
"How did that happen?" I asked, knowing that Kirk was bound for trouble, but he seemed to be more trouble-prone here than back home.
"Sulu brought him here after someone knocked his lights out. Go figure, huh?" I opened my mouth to question him about Hikaru Sulu, but he was quick to answer it, "Sulu acted like everything was normal. And if what you're saying is correct, that means Sulu and Uhura are still back on the ship?" He spoke, setting his hands on his sides.
I nodded to answer his question. We were in fact marooned on this unknown planet with our memories still intact, but not the ones from this reality. I desperately wished to know what I had done to the Lieutenant that offended her so terribly, but I knew that there was no need in dwelling on the past anyways. All I needed to figure out right now was how to get through the day and how to contact the Enterprise without exposing this time period to anything too technologically advanced for them.

Thank god I had fallen into a realm of unconsciousness. I wasn't sure how much more I could take with Jesse. Now Nero was thrown into the picture, however, I felt myself being driven awake when I heard a familiar voice. It was the girl that I had obviously not been very kind to in this life. When I opened my eyes, I looked up to see that I was in a bedroom. Not the one I had been in this morning, but someone else's from what I could tell. There were a lot of posters and pictures hung on the wall. A particular cluster of pictures specifically caught my eye. I forced myself to get up after I realized that I was in this bedroom by myself. I walked over to the cluster of pictures that was hung and taped in random spots on the mirror. I looked at it and saw that it was a bunch of pictures of Jesse and her friends. I spotted one with her and Sulu. A couple of her and her female friends and then one of her and Spock making ridiculous faces with one another. There about forty pictures on the mirror. About five with her and Sulu, ten with her female friends, four with Spock, and about eight with her crazy not-so-romulan boyfriend. However, I noticed that the rest of the pictures were of myself and her.
Guilt clouded my stomach as I saw pictures of us through the years. I was amazed to see her once have platinum blonde hair and I couldn't help but chuckle at it. She still had those huge glasses to. It made me smile and then I heard someone come in the door. I turned around and saw Jesse standing there in a tee-shirt and a pair of shorts. She smiled at me and then closed the door behind her. I perked a brow and opened my mouth to say something, but she caught me off guard with what she had said.
"Okay, so you said you had to talk to me about something?" She asked, crossing her arms and leaning back on her door.
I wasn't exactly sure what to say, but something in my brain triggered and I began to speak, even though I wasn't sure why I was answering. "Yeah, I think you should end it with your boyfriend." When the words left my mouth, I couldn't help but smirk at the look on her face.
"And why would I do something like that?" She asked, perking a brow as well.
Something took over my feet as I began to make my way over towards her. I wasn't sure what was drawing me towards her, but I stopped when I got incredibly close to her. I was being pretty brazen about this whole thing as I kept that overly confident smirk on my face.
"Because I'm better," When the words came from my mouth, I pressed myself against her and couldn't help but to press my lips against hers.
I wondered why all of the sudden it was okay to do this, but when I felt her kiss back, I lost all train of thought as my hands lifted to her cheeks. Her hands snaked their way up my arms and set themselves on the back of my neck. They were cold against my warm skin which sent a tingle down my spine. I felt like I was challenging her kissing skills since every time she would catch me off guard with something, I would try and top her by nibbling on her bottom lip or lightly running the tip of my tongue along her lips. Eventually, she stopped kissing and we pulled away slowly from one another. She looked up at me and I couldn't help but to keep that arrogant smirk I often held on her. She let out a small giggle and then I stroked my thumbs across her cheeks.
"I told ya," I smirked before I took a step back from her.
She smiled and then began shaking her head. I was a bit confused by her head shaking, but then she explained herself. "You are but . . . can I get some time to think about it?"
The question made me smile and since apparently, in this alternate reality, we were totally cool about making out even though she had a boyfriend. I grabbed her by the hand and then sat her down next to me on her incredibly soft bed. I looked up at her and smiled. "Depends on if you're going to keep teasing me like that or not?" I answered, chuckling slightly at her. She laughed and then we caught each other's blue eyes again. "Ya know, I might need one for the road?" I asked, cocking a brow at her.
She mocked my look by doing the same thing before she leaned over and began kissing me again. I smirked at this and then my hand began making its way over to her hip. I missed and instead touched her upper thigh which made her jump a little bit. At first, I was going to remove my hand, but the feel of her skin sent good vibrations through my fingertips, so I merely began stroking her thigh. I couldn't help but smirk against her lips as I felt us drifting closer and closer to lying down on her bed. My hand crept up her side and set itself on her hip as I was going to attempt to throw my leg over her when there was a knock on the door.
"Jesse, your boyfriend is on the phone!" A woman's voice called out.
Her voice got caught in her throat as she answered her. "Can you tell him I'm busy?" She asked, but then realized that the woman was attempting to get in her room.
"I'll go . . . See ya tomorrow morning?" I asked, cocking a brow as I quickly hopped up and made my way for her window.
She nodded, pushing a strand of her hair back and smiling at me. "Ya know . . . I might just take your advice," She said with a pretty smile on her face. I nodded at her and then stepped out of the window only to feel a sharp pain in my neck which caused me to lose my balance. I grabbed onto my neck and then as I was falling towards the ground, my eyes shot open.
I looked around and saw that Bones and Spock were around me. I cocked a brow and then shot up. It looked to be that I was back in the school. I looked over at the two and then wondered why I was there. Then I remembered that I had gotten my ass handed to me by Nero. I was getting pretty tired of that. I thought back to the dream I had had while I was out and then realized that that must've been what had gone on the night before. It all made sense. I had been playing it off that what I had done didn't matter. I was breaking that girl down and she had no idea why. I felt a little guilty about it all. Now I wasn't just being rude to her, but I was being rude to the alternate reality me to. He was about to have the chance to whisk this girl away from that freak of nature Nero and I was screwing it up.
"Spock, be honest with me, do you have any idea how long we're going to be here?" I asked him, wanting to know if I should even bother with making things up with Jesse or not.
He opened his mouth to say something and then shook his head. "Until I can get in contact with the Enterprise . . . I believe we are stuck."
I looked over at Bones and then couldn't help but chuckle. "Nurse McCoy, you're my hero!" I snickered and then received a swift smack on the back of the head from him.
