Hi, i'm back sorry for the absence, and i missed prom because i was ill :'( anyways i had written this like a week ago but never got to posting it. Also, the review i've been getting are so nice ^.^ love you... I just checked the last chapter and ahhhhh i made so many typos :'( You know i wrote about a character getting injured in the second paragraph and the same thing i said that would happen, happened to me ¬_¬ something strange is going on...

I don't own any form of Star Trek or the characters that exsist in any of the time periods or universes. I do however own Zuri and any other characters that will appear later in the story and on with the show!


Chapter 3 : Birthday Party

The walls were closing in she was sure of it. Uncle Bones had warned her about things like this; Maybe she had stepped into that old Terran Television series ' The Twilight Zone' . The universe just wasn't right, everyone was acting strangely; Zuri's eyes narrowed as she saw it was nearly time for lessons to be over, she couldn't take it any longer. She punched the huge table that lay in the middle of the Kindergarten art area. The other children at the table jumped as a small dent appeared before scrambling away from their classmate. The teacher tried to no avail to calm Zuri but the small girl just wasn't having it. She ran.

Racing through the halls the girl dodged the many walls and people she passed. She became lost in her thoughts. Zuri + Birthday = Happy, Family Especially Daddy/Crew + Strange Behaviour = Up to something or Alien Crazies. Her thoughts were cut short by a solid form in front of her. Rubbing her head she looked up and to see Montgomery Scott. The large man knelt down and tucked a loose raven curl behind Zuri's ear. " Zuri,what ya doin' out 'ere? Ya parents asked me to take ya to the mess hall, come on lass." dusting off the knees of his black uniform trousers, he took the little girls hand and led her away from the halls of his 'baby.' It took Zuri a while to comprehend what Scotty had said and as they reached the door of the mess hall she stopped so fast she had successfully managed to give the man whiplash. "Why mummy and daddy want me in da mess hall?" the little girl questioned pushing her all her hair behind her ears imitating a Christmas elf. Scotty covered his eyes. "Ah lass you know i cannae take that cute face for long, in with ya." opening up the door to the dark cafeteria the large man pushed zuri in before entering himself. The lights snapped on leaving a glare in the toddlers eyes. "Happy Birthday!"

Zuri's cheeks puffed up and tears leaked from her eyes " wahhhhh! you did remember " running up to her mother she clung to her legs and cried. Soft hands hooked under Zuri's arms and picked her up. "Baby girl, don't cry please." Zuri looked up hearing the familiar voice of her grandmother. "Nana Manda!" lifting her small hands she cupped her granmothers cheeks and gave her slobbery kiss. Amanda laughed placing the little girl back on the floor. An hour past with everyone lavishing the small girl with gifts. Zuri laughed happily as she played with her grandfathers pointed ears. Looking up she saw the end of a terran cats tail fly through the door. The little girl climbed down from the seat next to Sarek and ran towards the door. "Mummy a kitty, look a kitty." she cried as she exited the room. Everyone looked up sharply "How could a cat be onboard? noones got a cat." Dropping whatever they were holding Spock, Uhura and Kirk ran out the door. " Zuri? Zurrrrrrrrrrrri! Where are you?" There was no answer.

They continued to search the ship but so far the little girl was nowhere to be seen. As they reached the bridge Uhura noticed a transmition was attempting to come through.
