=_=_=_=_Next Morning_=_=_=_=

I was awoken by the starling screaming of sirens better known as my alarm clock. I pushed my pillow over my face to dull the noise, but it was still loud. "Computer: alarm off, and lights on 30%." I hissed as I ripped the pillow off of me.

I threw my soggy blankets off my sweat drenched body. Even with the annoying wake up call my mind was still cloudy from my sleeping coma. I stripped off my nightshirt and lazily laid it on the floor before grabbing a towel and heading for the shower.

The warm water woke me up instantly. After I washed, I then began to dry my body off. I wrapped the towel around me as I blow dried my hair and added cover up and black eyeliner to my face. Before exiting the bathroom, I saw familiar green eyes staring into my face. Why do I feel so empty?I feel like a robot listing facts off. I shook my head to rid my insanity.

I emerged from the bathroom, and began searching my dresser for a decent pair of undergarments. I found a black and red set, slipped the red underwear on and tossed the towel to the side. I then clasped on the black and red lace bra just as the swish sound of my door was heard. Meaning I had company and I was almost naked.

I had no time to react as Jimmy walked in. "Hey Vonn…" He began to say until his bright blue eye caught my own emerald green ones. I smiled to myself, It seems this is the second time I have rendered Jim Kirk speechless in less than 24 hours. I felt his eyes scan my body, every inch of it. He tilted his head to a side with a curious smile tugging on his lips.

Jim began walking towards me, causing my eyes to widen in shock. He placed his rather huge hands on my hips, I immediately felt a strange electrical shock pulse through my body as his thumbs trailed down a few centimeters above my underwear. My eyes grew twice as big as he began rubbing my hip bones. "When did you get these?" His voice sounded husky and smooth as it reached my ears.

Without realizing until after I did it, I licked my lips and pushed my hips closer into his hands. Get a grip, Vonnie! I screamed inside my head. I followed his line of vision, and saw each of his thumbs rubbing a blue bird with a star in their beaks. "Oh my tattoos!" I pulled away, trying to act like what he did didn't affect me at all. I reached for Nyota's spare uniform for me and proceeded to put it on. "I got them when I was 17. My friend, Bay'or, convinced a lot of my schoolmates to get tattoos when we docked at Orion's Belt Starship Port." I said after finally putting on my shirt and slipping into my skirt.

Jimmy's eyes never left my body as I dressed. And to be honest with myself, I couldn't help but feel pleased. I should be embarrassed, a shamed but I wasn't. For some reason this, him watching me, felt natural and right. I sat on my bed as I put on my boots. "What are you doing here Jimmy? I thought I was suppose to meet you and Mick before your exam."

"I wanted to ask you a favor actually." He had his usual smirk on his face once more.

I cautiously stood up and eyed him warily "What kind of favor?

Jim began, "Well, if I pass the…"

"Jimmy its not if, its when you pass." I clarified as we headed out into the hallway.

And for a rare second Jim smiled a real, no arrogant smile at me. "You believe I'll pass?" His eyes looked different as he looked at me, almost like he was testing me or something.

I grabbed his hand to stop him from walking, "Yes I believe in you. I always do, now and forever." After having an almost staring contest with him, I took my hand from his and looped it through his arm. I tilted my head slightly to tell him to continue with his favor as we left the dorms.

"When I pass the Kobayashi Maru exam, at the victory party can you wear that red slinky dress that your Mom bought you last year?"

"Wait, victory party? Isn't that a bit forward? How can you plan for something that hasn't happened yet?" I asked as I felt the San Francisco sun warm my skin while we walked across the Quad.

Jim just smirked, and his eyes said he had a secret. Which caused me to roll my eyes, "You got all dolled up for Bones, making me feel very neglected as your best friend. So I think its only fair if you do the same at my party." He stated.

"Mick wanted a proper date. And I wanted to shock him a bit, I don't think he knows I own girly clothes." I laughed softly.

"Be my date then!" Jim concluded and for some reason I felt my heart leap into my throat.

I shook my head of the nonsense it was making. Me and Jimmy are friends. Best friends, nothing more. "Jim, we both know as soon as we get there you will ditch me for the prettiest girl in the room. And I'll be at the bar flirting with some dashing guy. Its what we always do." I said, we were nearing the exam building.

The hairs on my arms began to stand up and I felt like I was being watched. I looked around and saw that many pairs of eyes were on us. "Speaking of guys, why are they all staring at you? Did another gay rumor spread about you and Mick?"

Jim knitted his eyebrows close together then he looked around. He instantly began to laugh, "They aren't staring at me, Vonnie. Its you, they are. You look hot!"

"Puh-lease! I look horrible, no guy in their right mind would think otherwise."

Jimmy had a thoughtful look on his face as a small smile tugged on his lips, "I guess none of us are in our right minds then."

I was about to ask him what he meant just a voice cut me off "About time!" I looked over to see Mick on a building's steps tapping his foot slightly. "What took you two so long?"

Without hesitantly Jimmy replied "Scenic discovers." We all three entered the building and got closer to the assigned room. After another ten feet, I felt Jim's breath quicken. I squeezed his arm gently, to reassure him. We stopped and he turned to Mick and me, "I'll see you guys in there. Wish me luck?!"

"You can do this." Mick replied and patted Jim's shoulder.

I rolled my eyes and kissed Jimmy's cheek, which for some strange reason I could feel the same electrical tingles from when he rubbed my tattoos. "Luck! Even though you don't need it." Jim walked away leaving me with Mick and surprising enough Nyota. I turned to her with a gaped mouth.

Annoyed she rolled her chocolate eyes at me, "Commander Tam-Brine asked me to help with Kirk's scenario."

I smiled at her as I threw an arm over Mick's shoulder and another over hers as we walked into the demo room, "Wonder what its going to be like? I mean Jimmy never does the same thing twice."

Mick half smiled as he said, "I think you mean never the same person twice." Nyota began giggling as I simply shrugged my shoulders, trying to make the knot in my chest go away.

Nyota went straight to the communications center as I began walking to the navigations, but Mick has longer legs than me and sat there before I could. I glared at him as he innocently replied "It's the only station I'm good at."

"Yeah, because I taught you the basics." I argued.

"I'm a doctor not a helmsman!" He exclaimed. I shook my head while I smiled at him. Mick always knows how to make me smile!

I decided to a sit at the weapon station since another cadet was already in the pilot position. Jimmy walked in carrying an apple as he sat in the Captain's chair.

And as if that was cue to start, Nyota said, "We are receiving a distress signal from the U.S.S. Kobayashi Maru." She sounded uninterested as she spoke and slightly annoyed, "The ship has lost power and is stranded." She began to bop her head side to side, "Starfleet Command has ordered us to rescue them."

Jim turned his chair towards her, "Starfleet Command has order us to rescue them…Captain."

Mick's station began to beep loudly "Two Klingon vessels have entered the Neutral Zone."

"And they are locking weapons on us." I said as my station started to beep too.

"That's okay." Jim said simply.

Mick and me looked at each other before turning to Jimmy, "That's okay?" Mick questioned.

Jim looked smug, "Yeah, don't worry about it.""Three more Klingon warbirds decloaking." Mick said more urgently.

"And our targeting our ship." I stated.

McCoy turned his chair towards Jim and huffed, "I don't suppose this is a problem either."

"They're firing, Captain." I said as I felt the demo room start to shake.

With me mocking him slightly, Jim took control more. "Alert Medical Bay to prepare to rescue all crew members from the damaged ship."

"And how do you expect us to rescue them when we're surrounded by Klingons, Captain?" Nyota pointed out.

He turned to her, "Alert Medical." Jimmy said calmly. She puffed and turned back to her station.

"Our ship is being hit." Mick drew our attention back to the situation. "Our shields are at 60%."

"I understand." Jim said as he reached for his apple.

"Well…should we…I don't know…fire back?" McCoy barked.

"No." Jim said as he bite into his apple.

"Of course not." I replied as I rolled my eyes. All of a sudden a power surge went through all the computers in the room. And the lights went out for a few seconds.

"Hmmm…Arm photons. Prepare to fire on the Klingon warbirds." Jim ordered finally.

"Yes, sir." I replied as I began pressing the buttons, not caring if they didn't work. At least he was doing more than nothing! I thought to myself.

"Jim, their shields are still up." Mick said

"Are they?" Jimmy took another bite from his apple.

Mick turned back to his station, "No. They're not." I glanced at McCoy before finishing with the preparations for the weapons.

"Fire on all enemy ships. One photon each should do. Let's not waste ammunition." Jim declared.

I nodded my head, while smiling. How did he do this? "Target locked and acquired on all warbirds. Firing!" The screen showed all warbirds being shot and taken down, "All ships destroyed, Captain."

"Begin rescue of the stranded crew." Jim stood up, "So! We've managed to eliminate all enemy ships, no one onboard was injured, and the successful rescue of the Kobayashi Maru crew is underway." He took a bite of his apple again and stared up at the observing window. Mick, Nyota and I just all looked at each other, wondering how on Earth did he just do that?

A smile crept onto my face as I stared at Jim. He just won against the unwinable! Jimmy turned us with a look of relief filled his eyes. I stood up and took off running full speed into his waiting arms. As I leaped into them, he caught me easily and spun us around in a few circles. Jim placed me back on the ground as I wrap my arms around his neck for a another hug. As I pulled away, "You did it Jimmy!" I said and kissed his cheek as the other cadets came to congratulate him.

I was slightly pushed away as the flooded of other students went to him. I was standing beside Nyota, who had shock written all over her face. "I can't believe it!" She mumbled under her breath.

I grinned cheekily at her, "I can!"

Jimmy and Mick pushed their way to us, as Jim scooped me up in his arms again. "Remember the favor?!" He whispered in my ear. And all of us began walking out of the demo room.

I let out a loud sigh, "Okay. But only for you." I turned to Nyota, "Wanna walk to Nester Hall with me?" Knowing her class was in the same building as my flight pattern class was.

"Yeah." I waved goodbye to Jim and Mick, who were surrounded by lots of female cadets. I couldn't help, but feel upset as I saw a few give Jimmy kisses. Nyota cough drawing my attention back to in front of us.

I saw she was looking at me from the corner of my eye, "What?" I asked

She shook her head, "Nothing." We were silent until we reached our classrooms. "See you at the party, I suppose."

"You're going?" I asked surprised.

"Well there is a reason to drink. So yeah I'm coming." Nyota smiled then hugged me, "See you later."

I walked into my class still dazed about everything that I have been feeling. I was actually completely out of it the whole day. I found myself in my room hours later, unsure of how I truly got here. I was just sitting on my bed, staring at my red dress. Should I wear it? I did promise Jimmy. But if I put wear that, I'll be getting pretty for him. Why am I feeling this way?

Standing up and stripping down to only my panties, I went to where my dress hang and slipped into it. The red cotton fabric clung to my body in all the right places and supporting what needed to be supported. After digging in my closet for a moment I finally found red high heels. I then went to the bathroom to do my make up and try to tame my mass of curls.

"Vonnie, you ready? We are suppose to be there in about ten minutes or so." Jim called out from inside my room.

"Almost. I'm just finishing up." My hair laid in soft curls down my shoulders and my make up was light, but accented my eyes and lips. I walked out and found Jim fiddling with an old picture frame. I went over to him and glanced over his shoulder. In his hand was picture of us when we were about six or seven hugging with mud caked on us. "I remember when you dared me to jump into the river, but I went go unless you went too." I said as I laughed at the memory.

"You just didn't want to be in trouble alone." I could see him smirk as he put the picture back down on my bookshelf. He turned on his heel and his eyes practically popped out of his skull when he saw me.

"Do I look like a decent date?" I ask, I twirled in a complete circle. I felt his hands wrap around waist, and turned me to face him. With one hand, he tucked a strand of hair behind my ear.

"You look amazing, now and forever." He whispered. Jim's eyes twinkled a little as they never left my face.

My heart felt like it caught in my throat again. VONNIE! STOP IT! START TALKING! The voice shouted in my head. "You look good too." I said after I saw Jimmy wearing tight blue jeans, and a green button down shirt with a blue t-shirt underneath it.

He stared at me and looked me once over again "So you ready then?" He seemed like he didn't want to leave just yet. I nodded as I grabbed my id and money. Walking back to Jimmy, I took out his wallet and placed my items in it. Jim took the wallet away from me with a playful glare, "What am I? Your personal pack mule?"

"Always!" I kissed his cheek, then realized I left a strain. I started to wipe it off, but Jimmy caught my hand.

"Leave it. It means I'm marked!" He laugh as he kept a hold of my hand and we walked out of my room. "Maybe less girls will attack me!"

We fell into a comfortable silence until we were almost at Jim's favorite bar, Graying Conqueror. "So how did you do it?" I asked him

"A magician never reveals their secrets." He smirked at me.

"So it was magic? I knew it!" I exclaimed, "Really Jimmy! How? What did you do?"

"I thought you believed in me?" Rolling my eyes, I reluctantly nodded my head, "Well if you do then don't ask questions."

"Come on Jimmy! Tell me!" I nagged, which just caused Jim to smirk wider. He opened the door to the bar for me and followed in.

"JIM KIRK IS OUR MAN!" Shouted already heavily drunk cadet. Jimmy gave the cadet a high five as the cadet fell to the floor. People were already ordering drinks for Jim, and trying to get him to drink a shot with them. Which he did as he steered me to the back table where Mick, Nyota, Gaila and few other friends of yours where at.

"You ready to get wasted!" Mick said as soon as we sat down, I eyed the table and noticed that there were about twenty different drinks on the table. "Congrates, Jim!" He continued until as we all pick up a drink from the table and clanged them together. After all the drinks on the table were gone, Gaila got up and pulled Jim with her to the dance floor.

Mick downed another drink, "I'll go get us some refills. And maybe found a looker!" Leonard McCoy was never this open, unless he was drunk. And he was over the moon wasted. He walked away with all the glasses in his arms, leaving me Nyota and me alone.

I found my gaze being drawn to Jimmy and Gaila, who brought another girl into the mix as they danced. Pain and anger began swirling in my body as the new girl was extra eagerly grinded with him. Nyota snapped her fingers in front of my eyes. "What?" I inquire angrily, glaring slightly at her.

"You love him, don't you?" She asked, but it sounded more like a statement.

"Who loves who?" I questioned, completely forgetting why I was angry in the first place.

Nyota looked at me hard, before sighing "You are in love with Jim. Its so obvious."

"Wh..what d-did you say? No, Jimmy and me are just friends. I don't feel that way for him. He's my best friend."

She rolled her eyes as Mick came back with Gaila and Jim in toll, "Whatever you say. But when you are ready to admit, just tell me." She whispered.

McCoy handed out the glasses and put the rest on the table, "Drink up everybody!" Jim didn't need to be told twice. We all smiled and followed suit. More drinks were coming to the table, I lost count after the third round.

"Would you like to dance?" I looked up to see a handsome Asian man looking down at me.

"Me?" I asked, which caused the man to nod and laugh for a moment. "No thank you. I'm not a really good dancer."

"I bet you are better than you think." The handsome man smiled down at me.

"I still don't want to step on your toes. Maybe next time." I concluded.

"You are sure?" He asked again.

I started to nodded my head as a glass was slammed on the table, "She said NO, buddy!" Jimmy got up and stood in front of me, blocking the man from my view.

It was hard to tell what Jimmy was doing, but I could feel the angry radiating off his body. "Jimmy?" I put my hand into his, which made him grab it tightly.

"I'll dance with you." Gaila stood up and took the man away from our group. We just kind stared at Jim. Then everyone began making their excuses and leaving, Mick walked away looking at a blonde with long legs. And Nyota disappeared, giving me a pointed look. Jim sat down and began downing the alcohol by the gallon.

After another hour, Mick came over to me. "I need the room for the night." He smiled a toothy grin at me, "Can you do something with Jim for me? Just drop him off in the Rec Room couch or something." He hugged me then walked back to the blonde he's been with for the past hour.

I went back to Jimmy, who needed the table to hold him up. I took a hold of his arm and swung it over my head. "Come on Jimmy Boy. Time for bed." I said as we stood up and walked out the door.

People shouted as we walked out "Whooooo Jimmmm!"

"YEAH!" Jim slurred. We began our slow trek back to my room. After entering the dorm building and taking the turbo lift to my floor "Vonnie, where we are?"

I shook my head, "Don't talk Jimmy and we are headed to my room."

"Whys?" He asked drunkenly

"So we can sleep." I replied as I adjusted his weight on my shoulders. I wonder if he will tell me how he pass the exam now. I thought to myself as I leaned Jimmy against the wall while I put my code in my room. I pulled Jim in my quarters, within seconds his boots where off and so was his shirts and belt as he laid on my bed. Leaving him in just his jeans with his abs out in all their glory. I couldn't help but stare for a few minutes. I shook myself as I said "Well I can see your comfortable." I grabbed my nightshirt and went into the bathroom.

Emerging I saw Jimmy still laying there, and his eyes were still open. I crawled into my bed and under the blankets. "Jimmy how did you pass?" I asked

"You have to give me something I want, before I tell you." He simply said.

"And you're tell me?" I asked

"Yep."

"What do you want?"

His eyes were now closed as he mumbled "Kiss me."

My breath hick up in my throat. I don't know why, but I found my lips lowered down to his. His lips were dry against mine, but I felt the same electric tingles going from my lips down to my toes making them curl. I pulled away with my eyes closed "Jimmy!" His breath was deep and slow. "Are you serious!? You're asleep!"

I pinched his shoulder as I laid down turning away from him. Within seconds I felt Jim's arm over my waist pulling me closer to him. I fell asleep thinking how great it felt being in his arms.
