A/N: Thanks a again for reviewing! Please bare with me, school started and I'm trying to hit those books. Don't worry I update very soon. Next chapter will be crazy and I can promise you that!
Jim and Spock pushed through the tight groups of people to see two guys beating Bones in the face. Jim and Spock pulled the two guys off of their friend, looking down Bones was spitting up blood onto the floor. Jim stared hard at the boys who he had never seen before.
"Who the hell are you guys and why are you betting him up?" Jim shouted.
"It doesn't matter who we are, just tell that punk to keep away from our sister." One of the bigger guys said. Bones stood up by clinging on to Spock's arm.
"Those are Linda's brothers. I just found out that she is really pregnant with my kid." Bones said.
"Your friend McCoy needs to his junk in his pants." The bigger male yelled again.
"Bones I thought she was just saying that." Jim said.
"That's what she said, but she was wrong apparently." Bones replied. "Now let me let kick these guys asses."
"You want more?" The other the brothers asked. The bigger brother took a swung at Bones, but he quickly ducked and quickly punched him in the gut. The smaller brother went in and punched Bones in jaw, Jim quickly jumped in by throwing his body at the smaller brother. The bigger brother grabbed Bones and threw him to the ground, Spock went to him and pulled him off Bones, but then punched Spock in the nose. Spock did not seem to be affected by the punch, grabbing the bigger brother's arm he pinned him to ground with his arm behind his back and face pushed into the floor. Spock looked over to see the other brother punching was Jim in the face and Bones still on the floor spitting up blood. A whistle echoed loudly through the room causing everyone to stop, a tall male with salt and pepper hair came through the crowd. "I want everyone to release each other." the man commanded. Spock stood up and so did the other bother. Jim was bleeding heavily onto his suit from his nose, in a daze he lifted his headed up.
"Commander Pike you sure can whistle loud." Kirk said. Pike shook his head at Jim, he then went to the two brothers and grabbed them by the collars.
"Mr. Spock, McCoy, Kirk go out to the east side doors so that I can talk to you boys. Wait there until I take care of these trespassers." Pike said while moving through the crowd with the brother's still in hand. Spock and Bones helped Jim up as he bled onto the gym floor. They walked in limped steps out into the hallway, fast pace of heels clicked against the floor toward them.
"Spock are you alright?" Uhura came barging in and grabbing on to his face. "Oh my gosh your face is bleeding." She wiped away a trickle of green blood from his cheek. She turned her attention to Bones and Jim who were sitting on the floor groaning in pain. "Are guys ok?" She asked. Bones nodded his head.
"Yeah, I did take a nasty beating." Bones replied. Pike entered the hallway as he met the students.
"Ok do you mind what's going on?" Pike asked.
"I was just dancing and my ex girlfriends brothers were punching me. I guess Jim and Spock saw what happened and joined in. I have no idea how they got into the school grounds though." McCoy explained.
"Why were they betting you up son?" Pike asked again.
"Well my ex told me she was pregnant with my kid, but she only said it so that I would not leave her, but now I'm finding out that she is really pregnant."
"Mr. McCoy I suggest that you see the pregnancy test for yourself. As for you Kirk and your Spock, I would say that I don't approve of your fighting, but it was for the command good. I know its not your faults, but I will have to discipline you boys, just show up at my office tomorrow to serve detention."
"But Commander Pike you can't be serious." Kirk said in disbelief.
"I don't want to hear it, I have to treat you all the same. I need you boys to stay out of trouble this year, since you all got into Starfleet Academy .I can't have you can't risking your positions."
"WE GOT INTO STARFLEET ACDEMY?" Kirk yelled. Kirk looked to Bones and high five him. "We got in, dude my mom is going to flip." Kirk laughed.
"Well yes, I wasn't suppose to tell you yet. Listen you all try to enjoy the rest of your night, I have to deal with those two boys." Pike walked off back into the gym. Jim helped Bones up from the floor leaning him against the wall.
"Thanks guys for helping me out there." Bones said.
"Don't thank me Bones you know I have your back 24/7." Kirk landed a friendly pat on his back.
"Then I should really thank Spock. Spock you surprise me all the time, I didn't think you would risk your behind for me."
"Well you are my friend after all. You would do the same for me." Spock said.
Days after the dance things seem to go back to normal for everyone. It was in the end of the fall season, students stayed inside more often and as holidays approached it seemed that everyone deserved a break from the busy life at school. Spock continued doing lessons with Nyota in the labs after classes. Before it was long hours of teaching her and helping each other study, now ever since that kiss he had a hard time keeping his hands to his side. It would seem to others that his Vulcan discipline is dying way, but he knew that he is still respected his Vulcan heritage. Nyota wanted him to come home with her for the Thanksgiving break, but he had to go back Vulcan for his summoning by the Vulcan elders. Spock was not familiar to this holiday of Thanksgiving, a day devoted to giving thanks was illogical, but yet the humans practiced it.
The bell ranged to signal the students to leave class. Spock wondered if Nyota was alright since she did not show up to English. Spock's mother approach her son with some items in her hand.
"I didn't know if you knew that Nyota missed class today because she was ill today. These are the notes for today's lecture, can you give this to her?" Spock nodded, accepting the two large computer disks with information. "Sorry that your father and I cannot come home with you. I hate to leave you alone."
"I will be fine."
"Well I mean yes you have a escort getting to Vulcan, but your going to be home by yourself."
"It is not a problem." He replied again. Jim and Bones walked to where Spock and his mother were.
"Ms. Grayson I would like to wish you to have a Happy Turkey day this weekend." Jim said.
"Thank you Jim. I hope that you Leonard will have a pleasant break."
"Well not really ma'am." Bones said. "Jim and I are staying here for the holiday."
"Oh that's no fun." She replied.
"Mother if it is not too much of a problem could they come with me to Vulcan?" Spock asked. Amanda looked to Jim and Bones, both had wide smiles on their faces.
"Hmm…I don't know Spock. I mean…"
"Come on Ms. Grayson, we will keep him company and what not." Jim said.
"Well considering your records Mr. Kirk. I mean…well you boys have never caused me any trouble, but Vulcan is very conservative planet. Ok, I'm trusting you all, if I hear anything from Vulcan about you boys I won't be a happy woman." Jim and Bones cheered with each other by jumping up and down like little school girls.
"Thanks, we won't let you down." Jim said.
Spock headed toward his usual spot, which was Nyota's dorm. He waited until she opened the door, when she opened the door she looked pale and tired. Spock looked at her with his jaw slightly open.
"Oh Spock what are you doing here?" She asked as she closed her robe.
"I wanted to bring homework from class today. I heard that you are ill."
"Yeah. Oh come in." She said. He entered the room, her Orion was not present as always which he had always preferred. He noticed that her bed had been slept with sheets spread everywhere. He had placed her homework files on her desk that was by her bed at look to see that she nestled back into her bed and pulled her covers over her body. He sat on her bed next to her as she closed her eyes. "I don't want to get you sick."
"Do not worry, Vulcan's are immune to the human common cold."
"Lucky." She breathed. He placed a hand on her forehead to check her temperature.
"You seem to be running a fever. Have you seen the school's nurse?"
"Yeah, she told me to stay in bed, which stinks cause I have to go home tomorrow and I am in no mood to travel."
"I understand."
"Come lay with me." She said as she put her hand out for him. He took her hand and then laid beside her. He put his hand on her waist, pulling her into his chest. She breath in softly as she loved being held by the Vulcan.
"I have some news." He said softly.
"Um hmmm." She mumbled.
"I will be returning back to my home planet tomorrow. The Vulcan elders had requested my presence for my hearing to see if I have been accepted into Vulcan Science Academy." She looked up with a frown. He could tell that she was displeased.
"Don't tell me that you going to go if you get in."
"That I am not sure of. Both schools are acceptable, I am not sure which to choose."
"If you go to Vulcan then what about us?"
"Nyota, even though these moments I have spent with have been the most fascinating ones, we must understand that we are young and can not worry of these things, but focus on our education."
"What are you trying to say?"
"I am saying that you and I can not afford to let our feelings ruin what we have started in our careers. Please do not think that if I go to Vulcan that you would not be special to me." She placed her head back on his chest, taking in a breath in she exhaled softly.
"I know you care. I'm just not ready to leave you if I have to."
"Then there is a way we can solve this problem."
"How?
"We must then cherish what we have left together."
