The site is doing the weird chapter thing again, but I'm going ahead and posting. Here is the last chapter. I hope you've enjoyed reading this as much as I've enjoyed writing it (most of the time). To all those who've complimented me on certain events in this story, I just want to remind you that this story follows the story of a movie already written by someone else. I've already written a couple more stories that follow an event that occurred in a TV episode. Rest assured, I do have my own ideas that I'm working on, but these other stories include but are not limited to Scrubs and The Nanny. I'm also working on a songfic. If you would be interested in reading something like that, then say so in a review. I'll probably post them anyway, but it would be nice to have some support. To the reviewer who took notice of the fact that I called Selek 'Spock,' that was an accident, very sorry about that. Also, thank you to the reader who reviewed my second TOS story. I was starting to think I had a dud on my hands. I almost removed it from the site! On with the story.
Chapter 10
Late on the night of New Year's Eve, little Joanna McCoy ran down the stairs of her house into the waiting arms of her Uncle Jim, who spun her around while she giggled excitedly.
"Come on," he told her, "let's go say hi to Spock!" He set her down just inside of the living room. She ran over to the couch where Spock was waiting. Spock immediately began telling her about a Vulcan game known as kal-toh, which to Jim sounded a bit like Jenga. Jim stopped at the doorway and just watched them for a moment. Spock seemed to sense Jim's eyes on him and turned to look at him, warmth evident in his eyes. Jim moved over to join them by the couch. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw Nyota come in carrying a tray. She had been so surprised when Jim had returned with Spock in tow. Well, that served her right for not letting him know that she was staying. The plan had been to do what they had done before, to drive each other's cars to the shuttle port so that they could retrieve them and drive home. He and Spock had searched for his car for about an hour before he gave up and called a cab. Then, once he'd realized that his car had not been stolen, he'd had to call the port and apologize profusely for accusing them of letting his car be taken by a thief. All in all, it was not the homecoming he'd imagined. But then, he hadn't expected to return with an incredible new boyfriend, so he couldn't really complain. He was also pleased to know that Bones and Nyota were going to work on a real relationship, although finding that she had not vacated his house had thrown the sleeping arrangements into question. In the end, he had taken the couch while Spock had taken the guest room and Nyota stayed in his room. Though, watching her with Bones, he had a feeling that she wouldn't be staying at his house during any future visits. He was pulled out of his musings by a demand from Joanna. One of the few things that Bones and Spock had been able to agree on was their firm refusal to give in to Joanna's please and play Dance Dance Revolution. It had bothered Jim at first that Bones didn't seem to like Spock, but he knew that Bones could see how happy he was, and that he'd respect Jim's feelings. It didn't hurt that Spock was nothing like Gary. As he got up to dance against Nyota, who'd also fallen prey to Joanna's big brown eyes, he had a feeling that things might really work out for all of them.
Epilogue
Jim was right. Nyota and Bones had kept in contact, and eventually began visiting each other once or twice a month. After about a year, Bones moved himself and Joanna out to Los Angeles after Nyota agreed to marry him. They were currently discussing how long they were going to wait before having a baby. Joanna was putting pressure on them to give her a little sister. Jim had already moved there two months previously, after he and Spock had bonded. They still hadn't had an official ceremony yet, and Spock's parents were really putting pressure on them for it. He and Spock had also kept in touch, though since Spock did a lot of his work on a special keyboard and computer, he could spend a lot more time in Riverside with Jim. Also, before they bonded, they formed a mental link by accident when they melded for the first time. Also, once they were bonded Selek revealed that he was actually an alternate version of Spock, sent from a different future that would have happened if it hadn't been for the Romulan attack on the Kelvin. Spock had been startled, but grateful for his designs to bring them together. Jim pretended to be hurt and upset, but got over it and thanked him as well. Not long after moving to Los Angeles, Jim began using his writing talents to write their story in a book, changing their names and nothing else. Of course, he consulted with his husband and friends to keep their sides accurate. It quickly became a best seller, and eventually became a movie, which Nyota edited and Spock scored. After that, well what else, they all lived happily ever after.
The End.
I've never been that great at endings, so I hope this is passable. I tried to give all the major characters Star Trek some kind of role in this. I also added a few characters that are so far exclusive to the original series. As I mentioned before, I'm doing some stuff similar to this, but with TV episodes. And now, the cast of this fic and their Holiday counterparts.
James T. Kirk – Iris Simpkins
Nyota Uhura – Amanda Woods
Spock – Miles Dumont
Leonard 'Bones' McCoy – Graham Simpkins
Joanna McCoy – Sophie and Olivia Simpkins (two kids in the movie)
Selek/Spock Prime – Arthur Abbot
Gary Mitchell – Jasper Bloom
Sean Finnegan – Ethan Ebbers
Leila Kalomi – Maggie (no last name)
Jonathan Archer, Christopher Pike, and Montgomery Scott – Arthur Abbot's friends Norman and Ernie (there were only two)
Pavel Chekov and Hikaru Sulu – Amanda's employees, Bristol and Ben.
