Fly with me (safer consequences)

Morning came unexpectedly, I was enjoying sleeping in my little paradise under covers when happy voices of my room-mates woke me up.

"... come...finally... I want to see... I have ALWAYS wanted to...It's not like...you know..."

When my brain eventually started working I came to conclusion I didn't really want too make in first place. Today is let's-go-to-dicover-another-boring-place. Today's special is Starfleet on half price.

Soon we are going to visit.. San Francisco. It's only a few hours ride using new machines. Yes, Earth haven't really changed and...

"Harry excited about going to...?" Mary always have been very social child. Apparently my silence just clicks with her loudness. She wants to talk and I am not really pushing her away...just not really listening.

"No." Her expression changes...I no I should make friends and...

"But you are going anyway. Enjoy Earth while you can because when you are old enough you will be send back to whatever planet you were found and..." Yes, her best friend often uses her best qualities to annoy me.

" I will go and eat breakfast while I can then." Yes, Earth – my home. Funny how things happen.


So here I am sitting in overcrowded room listening how old people with important roles inspire young children to be "future of Starfleet" and how we are "greatly valued" and we should "be like rising stars in night sky" and some boring staff for teachers and caretakers of " bright young".

Poor young mind who are already corrupted by...

"..shh..Captain Pike.."

"...Admiral Pike..."

"...is speaking.."

Well who cares. It's not like I want to be some brainless...

"He is so brave!"

"Captain Kirk is braver. He saved the world not Pike."

Let's have a catfight. Let's have catfight. Foolish hope in cruel world.

"Shhh...girls. Be respectful. Harry stop looking outside!'' At least I am sitting quietly...

And... clap your hands and be free like a bird in...campus excursion.

"Mrs. White..."

"Harry! Don't stay behind we aren't only group in here!"

Not like they will notice if I stay behind at some point. Starfleet Academy is such a big place any child could accidentally get lost.. in this maze.


It's pretty nice place all things considered...at least benches on outside are... little cloudy and... who am I kidding boring as any other school too..

"Son." All good things come to and and end.. and wheelchair-old-man is speaking again.

"I am not your son, old man." Yes, be respectful to your elders...I am good example of polite young boy.

Sun is shining and birds dying, but I am not going to pity some guy who probably knew the risks of space and still encourages others to go...it just reminds me.. of someone I would rather forget, but every universe should have great people with even greater plans.

"Are you lost? You should.." What were the odds against admiral finding me today and giving me me a lecture... What is he doing here anyway – enjoying time after brainwashing kids. Poor fucker.

"Are you even listing to me...What is you name?" Ohhh, friendly aproach.

" I can't tell strangers my name. What if they are paedophiles, kidnappers or..."

" Cut the.. you can't be here alone. Where is your group?"

"I am not alone I am with you."

Who knew that today I was going to get into staring match with admiral. Today is such a lucky day. But I shouldn't have tempted fate. He really is looking at me funny now.. deep breaths

" Yes, but soon you will have to return to your group. So are you lost.."

"I know how to get to the parking lot. Go straight to that funny looking tree then..." And I really did explain all to him even with hand gestures just to be sure he understands. I am thoughtful that way.

And the look again. Come on!

"Then what are you doing here?"

"Enjoying nice weather. "Duh...

"What do you think about Starfleet...?" Why is he even asking me that.. it's not like next year I could go to that boring, brainwashing academy. Can't he even after speech switch off his...

"Other than it sucks? Umm, sorry Admiral Big-fish I need to go.." And yes then I decided to go. Maybe it that funny feeling inside my chest which urged me to do that or I just felt that this moment was not going to end well..

At least he didn't chase or something silly like that just looked at me with that stare like he knew staff that I didn't, like he saw through me without any.. I needed to go.


Later when told me that Admiral Pike may have found my father and my DNS sample was taken I knew why Starfleet started with same letter as Suck.


A.N. I hope you enjoyed!
