Chapter 8:

*T'Aimu's POV*

My room is completely dark only letting the stars shine through from my window. I didn't want to be with anyone now. The promise I have made for Mommy has been broken. I stare out into the space sky, letting more tears run down my face to the floor.

A blue star is among the white stars. It's beautiful, just like Creature Home Planet. Whenever I am upset or feeling sad about something, that blue star will help me feel happy before I fall asleep for the night.

A knock gently banged at my door, yet I pay no attention to it. "T'Aimu?" Dr. McCoy's voice speak from the other side of the door. "Please let me in."

"Please let me be," I finally responded.

His voice is replaced by the sound of my door opening and closing.

"T'Aimu," he speaks again, "are you alright?"

"I broke Mommy's promise," I repeated, "that nothing should meet the same fate as the Home Planet."

"You did what you had to do," his voice grew soft, "if it wasn't for you, we would have been trapped on that planet."

No word appear out of my mouth as I continue on staring out mindlessly to the Blue Star.

"Each and every day you feel consent pain causing mental and emotional pain. Treatment can do so much, but the touch of your soulmate will be the true cure…." I feel him place his hand on my shoulder. My daily pain disappears!

"Leonard," I finally speak, "you're my soulmate?"

He wraps his arms around my body, pressing my back against his torso. "I'm in love with you T'Aimu," he whispers softly.

I feel his left hand gently take my right hand to my left hip. Leonard forms our fingers into a heart. The Creature kiss. His right hand gently takes my left hand to my bicep, forming our fingers together. A Vulcan kiss. My eyes look up to his amazing eyes with a shade of green on my face. Slowly, but surely he leans down to my face. Our lips touch with eyes closed and breathing through our noses. The Human kiss.

We stay like this for a while moving our lips. Soon we parted so I can fully face him.

"Were they your first kisses?" he asked, huskily in his Southern accent.

"Yes they were," I answered, feeling breathlessly, "ummm there's a tradition from my mommy's species where a creature finds her soulmate-"

"-they make it official?"

I blush a shade of green, nodding my head.

A short silence came among us, but he breaks it, "well we can't break tradition."

"Are you sure Leonard? We don't have to do it if you don't want to."

"Why not? We love each other and everything."

"Okay," I smiled to him.

He smiles back, pulling me to the bed, "come darlin'. Let's enjoy our love together."

*Early morning hours*

*McCoy's POV*

My fingers rub T'Aimu's back. Our bodies fully naked against each other.

"Are you alright darlin'?" I asked her, softly.

"Yes I am," she answers, snuggling more into my chest.

"Did I hurt you?"

"Oh no," she looks up to me with a smile, "you made me feel everything and no pain at all."

I smiled back, knowing that she feels better than ever. "K'hat'n'dlawa," I smiled more to her, hopfully my Vulcan is good.

Her dark eyes sparkles at my Vulcan.

"I love you too my Southern Blue Star," she chuckles a little.

"Southern Blue Star?" I chuckled as well.

"A blue star in the Creature culture symbolizes for positivity and love, since the Creature Home Planet is blue in colored. You're Earth Southern and look out the window."

I look out the window and now I understand why. There's a blue star among the white stars.

"K'hat'n'dlawa," she smiles softly, giving me a kiss on the lips.

"K'hat'n'dlawa, K'diwa," I smiled back.
