Chapter 9: Vulcan's make the best friends.
WARNING! Very long authors note (because i'm annoying, and i like to babble about stuff that you dont really need to know, so skip it if you want.)
Hey guys! I'm back with chapter 9, sorry for the HUGE delay and slight cliffhanger in chapter 8 but i've done worse ones :P i planned for this one to be long, so bear with me. (2,000 words isn't a lot, but compared to my 1,000 word chapters, it is.) anyway, this is the second to last chapter (maybe, cause sometimes my imagination takes my story and runs wild with it, so it might end up being longer) i have been procrastinating and not doing my homework, so i have a BUNCH of that, and i'm watching yet another manga. its called "soul eater" does anyone else watch this show? :) anyway, please enjoy! And review, because i would seriously love it if you reviewed or followed my story, and to all the people who read/have read my story; thank you so much! It means a lot, i always thought my story would go unnoticed. people who have put up with my weird PM's/told me they liked my story/followed it:

A week later Beau had managed to get to the nearest star base and beam aboard the ship, Spock had absolutely no idea that she was visiting, she made her way to the bridge; stopping every few seconds for directions, her mouth hung open as she stepped onto the bridge.
"wow" she breathed. And Spock whirled around in his chair to see beau standing there.
"Beau?"
"hi Spock!" she squealed he stood up to walk towards her and she pulled him into a bone-crushing hug. She was famous for those.
"why are you here?" he asked, she smiled at him and threw a look at Jim, who was just sitting there, looking at them.
"welcome aboard beau, this is quite a surprise!" he smiled at her, wondering how she managed to get on board without him noticing.
"Spock! I have so much to tell you!" she said practically jumping up and down and pulling on his shirt sleeve, Jim was confused by how this pair got along so well.
"Captain, may I give beau a tour around the Enterprise?"
"yes, of course." He said swiveling the chair to face the stars, beau excitedly dragged spock out the door and into the lift.
"what is this thingy Spock?"she said, looking around at the buttons.
"this is a turbo lift, beau. It is much like an elevator." Beau tilted her head to the side slightly and gave him a quizzical look.
Spock showed her around the Enterprise, and she listened to him talk about the structure and the history of the large ship. Finally they got to Spocks quarters, she plopped herself onto his bed. Totally comfortable by her presence, he sits next to her.
"thanks for the tour Spock" she said, smiling at him.
"ooh Spock! I have some exciting news" she sat up to face him and she fiddled with something on her finger.
"look!" she squealed, thrusting her hand forward, Spock looked at her hand and at the large engagement ring she was wearing.
"qwejah bought it for me" she looked like she was about to pass out from all the excitement.
the ring had a Sapphire jewel with a silver band, simple like herself, but beautiful. And the Sapphire matched her eyes.
"it is beautiful, I am very happy for you" he said, she wrapped her arms around his neck and sighed.
"I'm so happy Spock" she said, tears forming in her eyes, she brushed them away and smiled at him.
"I want you to be happy too, that's why I'm here" he panicked a little, knowing what she was going to say next.
"I know you like Jim, and I'm here to help!"
"Beau, please…don't tell Jim"
"why?" she looked at him sadly, she obviously thought love was easy, but not when you're a Vulcan.
"it is difficult to explain"
"I catch on pretty quick" she said propping herself up on her elbows and looking at him.
"if you don't tell me I'll talk to jiiim" she sing-songed.
"Beau" he said glaring at her. She giggled, it was like a teenage girl slumber party, but Spock didn't seem to mind. Just then Spocks computer made a noise, someone was calling him. Spock got up and pressed a button, Jim popped up on the screen and beau started giggling.
"do you have to do that beau?" he said, sitting down. She clapped a hand over her mouth and laid back on his bed.
"yes captain?" Spock said, turning to the computer.
"Spock, I was just curious to why we got an unexpected visit from beau."
"she said that she 'missed me' and she wanted to tell me that she got engaged in person" Spock explained. Jim smiled, and actually looked a little relived.
"that's great! Give her my congratulations."
"thanks Jim!" beau said loudly from Spocks bed.
"hey Spock! Where can I get a drink around here?" she said, looking around his room. It was extremely tidy, she snorted and started fingering through his bookshelf.
"I will show you in a second Beau" he called back.
"I will return to the bridge shortly" Jim nodded and Spock cut the transmission.
"what did he say Spock?" she said, reading one of his books, she turned it upside down and scrunched her face at it.
"it is in Vulcan, beau" he said, gesturing to the book.
"right" she said, putting it down. She sat down by her and sighed
"I must return to the bridge shortly"
"that's alright, I'll find something to do while your working" she said, smiling at him.
Before he left, he explained how to replicate something to drink. Spock sat at his station and worked quietly, Jim occasionally glanced at him, Spock acted very nervous during his shift.
And when it was over he bolted for the door, in a calm casual way of course, but Jim followed him, giving Sulu the command.
"whats going on?" Jim asked, when the lift doors closed.
Spock was very close to Jim, not by choice though, the lift was incredibly small, when had it gotten so small? He asked himself, nervously looking at the floor.
"nothing is 'going on' sir" Spock said, desperately trying to change the subject.
"okay… are you alright? You don't still have feelings for beau do you?"
"no sir, I never 'had feelings' for beau. I am very happy for her" casually trying to avoid Jim's gaze.
"yeah, well you look happy" Jim mumbled sarcastically. Spock glared at him and Jim couldn't help but laugh, the lift doors opened and Spock stepped out. Jim joined him and followed after him down the hall.
"you do not have to join me, Captain"
"Jim" he pressed.
"and its fine, i want to see beau" he said, trying to keep up with Spock.
They got to Spock's quarters and were greeted by a very happy, and VERY drunk beau.
"hey Spock!" she said, stumbling over to Jim and Spock. she fell and Spock grabbed her and gently dragged her to his bed.
She plopped down onto it and looked at them with a goofy grin, from her outlook, they were leaning over her with worried looks on their faces
"m'fine gents" she said, sitting up.
"I should call bones" Jim said, Spock nodded and Jim walked over to Spock's computer.
Jim noticed how Spock's expression had changed from well, 'Spock' to worried, as he tried to get the glass of alcohol from Beau.
"Beau, that is not good for you" he scolded, and outstretched his hand, making a serious face at her.
Jim tried not to laugh as beau groaned and gave him the glass, he eyed it carefully, as if it was about to explode and quickly walked to the bathroom and dumped it out.
"why must you consume so much alcohol Beau?" he said disapprovingly as he sat next to Jim.
"mm celebratin' won't you join me?" she said, as her face started turned a little pale and she looked sick
"are you alright beau?" Jim asked, turning in his chair and looking at the women, who was swaying her way to the bathroom.
"no.." she ran to the bathroom and Spock got up and was at her side in a second. He helped her sit down next to the toilet. Jim looked at him in surprise, Spock shrugged and held her hair.
"I don't hold alcohol very well" she said, throwing up. Spock sat there not phased at all, just comforting her.
"how much did you drink?" he asked, once she stopped.
"a loooot" she giggled, and Spock sighed. She leaned back against Spocks chest and sucked in a shaky breath.
"what if i turn out to be a bad wife?" she said, tears suddenly rolling down her cheeks.
"you will be a great wife, qwejah loves you, and he would not have proposed if he did not" she looked at him and smiled. Jim could not believe how loving Spock could be, he loved Beau like a sister, and he was so surprised at how much he cared.
Jim thought about all the times Spock took a bullet for him, lied for him (even though it was against his beliefs) and stood by him always, Spock was a damn good friend.
'too bad that's all he'll ever be'
Jim thought sadly, turning his attention back to the pair.
Spock wrapped his arms around beau and they sat there for a long time, her tears had long since passed, as she drifted off to sleep. Jim was actually a little jealous, why did Spock care about her like he did? And why did he act all weird and distant around Jim?
He never called bones, Jim just sat and watched the two. Spock picked her up and lightly put her on his bed, he pulled the blankets up and ordered the lights down, forgetting that Jim was still in the room, he sat on the floor with a blanket, Jim got up and walked over to him, it was dark and he didn't see Spock tense as he sat down next to him.
"you care about her a lot" Jim said, smiling.
"she is like a sister to me" Spock replied, not denying anything.
"I am half human, Jim" Spock stated, Jim snorted and patted his shoulder.
"I wonder why qwejah isn't here" Jim pondered out loud.
"I do not know why he is not here as well." Spock glanced at the clock
" it is getting late Jim, perhaps you should leave" he said getting up, Jim got up as well.
Spock easily dodged beaus shoes, but Jim was not so lucky he tripped over one of her high heels and fell over "ow! I can't see a damn thing" he exclaimed, laying flat on the floor.
Spock laughed, actually laughed. Jim was so surprised to hear it he almost thought he imagined it. He felt an hand around his arm, and he was lightly jerked up.
"thanks" he said, straightening his shirt and smiling at Spock. He then realized how close they were standing, and subconsciously leaned closer to Spock.
"where are you going to sleep? Beau is using your bed" Jim said, changing the subject.
"I do not know, I will most likely sleep on the floor, it will not be an inconvenience"
"you sure? You could use one of the guest quarters"
"I would prefer to stay here, in case beau needs something"
"you really are a great friend, she loves you a lot you know"
"yes I know, it is a surprise." He said glancing towards the bed, where beau was snoring softly.
"I'm not surprised, everyone loves you" Spock raised an eyebrow at him, Jim couldn't really see it, but it made him smile
"that, Jim you know is not true"
"well… I do" Jim said after some great effort, then immediately wished he could take it back. A small smile appeared on Spock's face, Jim was seeing so many sides of Spock tonight.
Jim was on him in a second, lips over lips. Jim wasn't sure if Spock was going to kill him or not, but he was happy when Spock was quick to respond and Jim couldn't believe he was kissing Spock, Jim wrapped his arms around Spocks waist, and Spock slid his arms around Jim's neck, Jim sighed into Spock's mouth.
"oh my god, finally! I thought you guys were just going to sit there and stare at each other all night" she said loudly, and quite awake I might add, Spock and Jim broke away and Jim glared at her.
"shut up beau" he said, blushing.
"anyway, now that that's done, I can go home"
"WHAT?!" Jim yelled.
"ouch, dude do you want to wake up the whole ship" she said, jokingly putting a finger in her each of her ears and making scrunched face. he threw her an annoyed glance and walked towards the bed.
"you were planning this?" he asked, trying to ignore the large smile growing on her face. he wasn't that upset, but he couldn't believe beau was playing match maker.
"yep" she said smirking and feeling very accomplished.
"my apologies Jim, i did not know that she was 'planning' anything"
Jim sighed, thoroughly embarrassed, and at the same time grateful.
Spock looked at him for a second, worried that he might storm out the door.
"i understand if you are upset, she was only trying to he-hpmmf!" the rest of his sentence was lost in Jim's mouth, jim didn't care if beau planned it all, he loved Spock and hell, he was happy.
Okay, i wrote this at like 1:00 in the morning, so sorry, my brain gets a little whacky when it gets later. (like for example, "sadly" was originally "saladly" thankfully i noticed it and changed it to sadly. *face palm*) xP
so, that's the end of chapter 9 what do you all think? (SO CHEESY! but hey, cheese is great :D 3) It's a bit longer then my usual chapters, there's a lot of beau in this chapter. (and barely any bones :( sorry guys!) I've become very attached to her. Her friendship with spock is adorable and I love writing their little banters. :D but yeah, ridiculously cheesy am I right? Sorry! Its just, I love fluff. I thought it was a nice way to end. (was the kiss too cheesy? not cheesy enough? perfect? i gotta know! because its driving me crazy, i've already edited it like five times D: ) Besides, there are more chapters to come! Any suggestions for later chapters? Should spock and jim be able to talk telepathically in later chapters as well? I've seen people do it before, I think its cute. :) anyway, please follow my story as well!
EDIT: i edited the ending of this story because i hated it, i hated it a lot. and i couldn't believe i had actually written it in the first place! it was shitty writing, and i'm sorry if you had to read it. but i changed it slightly, so at least its a little better. (sometimes i don't know what's wrong with my brain) anyway, if you liked the original ending, i'm sorry i changed it.
hate it? love it? want to kill me? let me know! review pleasey-please. xP
