Here in this story both of Spock's parents survive the destruction of Vulcan, they also know about elder Spock and have taken him in and the elder Spock has no idea who Sherlock and crew are.

Jim's POV:

After the outburst that happened in the mess hall, we all knew not to make fun of John, or to annoy Sherlock about John's hobbies.

"Captain?" I heard Spock say, it scared me but I didn't show it.

"Yes, Spock? Can I help you?" I asked.

"It has come to my attention that we have a new schedule, and we also have time off at the same time to catch up on our game of chess, what should you say to this?" he said not giving any emotion away in his emotionless mask.

"That seems quite reasonable I could use a good game, and this time I might go easy on you" I said.

"Easy? I believe you just have luck," Spock said.

"Luck? You of all people believe in luck?" I said. I could hardly believe he said that word let all that he believes in it.

"I just meant that you might have gotten what humans refer to beginners luck," Spock said.

I was left baffled I really had no idea what to do, it was only two years into our five year mission when he started to show how human and fun he can be and I was happy. Happy that he was finally allowing himself to feel at ease to show his human side and to show how much he truly cares even if he had lost his home planet, but at least he was able to save his parents, and elders.

After three more rounds of chess we finally said our farewells and I was left thinking about how Spock and Sherlock were very much alike. With that I drifted off into a deep slumber. That was until a few hours later did my comm go off alerting me to an incoming call.

"I do hope I did not wake you Jim" elder Spock said.

"No I was about to settle into some research paper that I need to finish," I lied because it was always very intriguing talking to elder Spock even though he was more emotional to everything and had more stories to tell about a future that would never be for me, because surly this Spock hated me to an extent that he just let me be and ignored me most of the time when we were not playing chess.

"Then I am sorry and I will let you go back to your papers," he said, and I had to do something because I really enjoyed our time.

"No, it's quit fine I can do them later or even as you tell me one of the many adventures you had that I might not have," I said to see if he might reveal on how I was able to get him to be my best friend and the one that was able to sacrifice himself to save a future me that in this time line will never be.

"Very well, and as you know I cannot tell you much stories as it could alter you destined time here, but I can tell you of a time when I was first officer for captain pike," he said.

"That sounds interesting, alright and while you tell it why not as we play chess," I asked because playing chess with elder Spock was more than just fun it was also a way to see how similar and how different they each play.

"Very well as you wish," he said as he got ready to put up the hologram chess board.

"Back then when I had started in my years on the enterprise and before your counterpart became a captain admiral pike was the captain. He had many years there and I was not as my younger self is now, I showed some emotion to my captain and we had a mutual respect, but something happen on our last mission together and by orders of doctor Boyce he had retired just as well as the good doctor, and in enters you and your crew. But in that last mission so many things had grown very bad, we were thought to be stuck in a dead ship, and we also thought or captain dead, then he wanted to stay behind with a human female who the alien species had manipulated to try and understand what love was. You see these aliens where geniuses, but where devoid of emotions and they had no idea how two people could love each other, and so they according to the files made many situations where they thought the captain would fall in love with the female, but he would not because he knew it was not real. But we all tried to get him back. Then they took our acting captain and put her to see if the captain would be able to love her since they knew each other. Of course we then had a way onto the planet since the captain had managed to escape their grasp. In the process we had learned of their plan and we didn't do much in that respect but it must have stuck with the captain. We landed in earth and he had turn in his resignation, all I knew is that he had started to be happy. Let me just say I was less then please to meet you and your ways but I soon learned to trust and learned to show more emotions because you and doctor Leonard where the closest I had to family, and my mother was just as fantastic in trying to teach me that not all humans and Vulcan's judge the love of my parents even if my father was as you would say a pain in the butt." He said as he reminisced about his past a past I'll never know seeing as I had never met my father.

"So what other stories can you tell me?"

The night went on he told me some stories that I would never have thought possible, and I was stunned at all the adventures this man had encountered and the near deaths, it was amazing to see the parallels that where still there and the minor differences we all had, but most of all I knew I wanted a relationship as the one that my counterpart had with this man. I knew I felt like I knew him even if it's been a few months since the Nero incident.

"Hey I should be getting ready to go back to my shift, and I guess you need to do some elder stuff?" I said uncertain and unwilling to let our time come to an end.

"Yes it would seem like we need to get back to our other things, it has been a pleasure in speaking with you Jim," he said as he did his Vulcan sign.

"wait," I said "maybe we can do this some time again, you know, I really had a great time, and hearing some of your stories was amazing, and its only if you want," I said as I looked at the floor somehow feeling embarrassed.

"Jim I would be delighted to do this once again, and maybe sometimes you could tell me a story of your own, from some of your adventure if you don't mind," he said as I looked at him with a smile.

"Of course that would be fantastic" I said, and I did the same salute as him as the screen went black.

I had fifteen minutes to get to the bridge and get something to eat even with a few hours of sleep I felt really well rested.

Of course after a shower and a change of clothes I was out the door but I was faced with Spock already waiting for me.

"Spock? What can I help you with?" I said.

"I believe we need to have a discussion about the doctor's companion and his mood swings, he seems to be bored and do nothing but sit on the stool and look annoyed. The other crew members have already put a complaint against him, and I am needed there after our shift today," he said.

"I'll talk to the doctor and see what he can do, during break, or I'll have him come up to the bridge," I told Spock to see if that would make him more at ease, and he nodded once as he pushed the button for the doors to open.

We entered the bridge and immediately everyone saluted me, these where the night shift we hardly saw each other because Number One was in command for these individuals, and she was going to pull a double shift, as I was going to pull a triple shift.

"Yeoman Colt, please send for Doctor Watson," I said as she nodded and began to call to him.

"Number one how are we doing today?" I asked as I saw that she stood from the captain's chair and stood to my right as Spock took his familiar stance to my left.

"Good captain, nothing to be alarmed of captain, we have everything under control, please sit," she said as she stood next to me.

As I had started to tell the crew of how we should handle crises, one which Spock claimed was very possible and had everyone already panicking, Yeoman Colt had already started to say the answer when the doors to the bridge opened and John came in.

"Very good yeoman, Spock, number one, you're in charge while I come back, I need to speak to Doctor Watson," I said as I moved towards john.

I motioned john to the doors once again, as I saw Spock and number one nod in unison.

"That didn't look like your crew," John said as the doors closed.

"They are but not my usual crew these are the ones number one is in charge of, she was the one next to Spock," I said.

"Ah, yes, uh what was it you needed to talk to me?" he said as I kept going to the com room.

"Let's get to a quiet room before we discuss anything else," I said as we rounded the corner onto the room.

"Right," he said as he followed me through the halls, we entered and I motioned for him to sit in one of the chairs.

"Alright was is it then?" he said a bit annoyed which also reminded me a bit of how impatient Bones got, but this guy had nothing on him.

"So what is the deal with Sherlock? Do you have any idea why he seems moody, or why he feels like he can't do his job, I am having complaints about him just sitting in a stool and refusing to work, or help in anything," I said getting straight to the point.

"Sherlock? Yeah he has always been like that what he needs is mostly something that might actually captivate his interest like experiments or solving a hard puzzle, but recently he has not shown he was bored, so I have no idea why he acts like an insufferable child" john said as he rubbed his hands across his face.

"I what I am trying to say that if he doesn't contribute at least fifty percent I might have to call Pike and see what he tells me, and he might be sent back to earth, and I mean san Francisco because that is where his brother is at," I told him.

"I understand what you are telling me, I will talk to him," he said.

At that we both got up and headed back the way we came, and I realized that it was soon going to be breakfast time.

I was about to dismiss John when I felt a hand on my shoulder, that nearly made me jump had I not felt the strength and knew it was Spock.

"Yes Spock?" I said as I turned to face him, and he dropped his hand.

"I would like to talk to John as I go to the science room where I am needed," he said as he looked at me.

"Yeah sure, see you at breakfast?" I said.

He nodded once and then he left with his hands behind his back and john following him.
