"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!" My mouth dropped has the lights went on and many people that were not here before popped out of nowhere. Kirk walked up and laughed, stopping a couple of feet in front of me and threw confetti at my face. "How?" I blinked some and he just smiled more. "A captain must know everything about his crew." I groaned, knowing he looked it up on the computers crew files. Asshole.
"I can't believe it actually worked out though. All thanks to Spock." he slapped Spock's shoulder, earning him a raised eyebrow and a blank stare from said Spock. Kirk left, leaving me looking up at Spock with a glare. "Why in the hell did you help him? You know I hate parties!" He smirked slightly, looking down at me with a raised eyebrow. "In human terms, I found your expression 'amusing'." With that he walked away, leaving me with my mouth open wide.
Wasn't he just full of surprises lately?
"Oi! Get your cute li'll Arse over 'ere!" Scotty said and I rolled my eyes, going up to the group of people waiting for me. "I believe we should do presents first." Kirk said, smiling as I glared. "Presents? Really? Most unnecessary." He smiled and grabbed my hand, pulling me over to a table loaded with presents. "I think mine should go first." My eyes went wide and I turned around to see everyone had moved, showing Pike. I smiled wide and ran up to him, hugging him, and he to me.
"Good to see you too." He laughed, releasing me. I stepped back and looked at him. "Out of the wheel chair I see." He smirked. "Staying out of trouble?" I shrugged. "Spock can only do so much…" We both laughed at that, Pike looking at Spock. He raised an eyebrow and put his hands behind his back. "She is exceptionally prone to trouble. I can not keep up with her at times." I stuck my tongue out at him and turned back to the table of presents. "So which ones yours?"
He pointed to a black wrapped one and I rolled my eyes. "Very funny sir." I walked to the table and opened the package. "How in the hell…" My eyes were wide as I lifted the ancient game station. "I remember you said you liked old school gaming, so I found this thing. Plus a couple of games." I smiled brightly, looking at the Playstaion 2. I turned and hugged him. "It's perfect!" He laughed and shoved me away.
"Oi! Me next!" Scotty said, handing me a long and narrow box. I took it and felt it was heavy. "Go on Ladie!" I shrugged and opened it. I laughed some, taking out the Quantum flux regulator. "I got tired of ya complaining about yours." I shook my head. "Thanks, I realllllllly needed it! Thanks to Kirk and his amazing skills, my old one shorted out." everyone laughed as I looked to Kirk, who simply shrugged.
"Here." McCoy handed me a small package, glaring away. I opened it and laughed loudly. "Cute." I said, holding the gold bracelet in my hand. "Yeah, yeah. Don't think to much of it." With that, he walked away taking a rather large swig of his-my- scotch. I smiled some, putting it on.
Uhura got me The most awesome emerald green shirt. She put on the Federation sign on the front top left, and on the back it said the Vulcan Greeting. Sulu got me an Asian dream catcher, Cheekov got me a PADD with a shit ton of music I like on it and Kirk. Well…
"My turn!" He said, walking up to me. Before I could say anything, he grabbed me, spun me around and dipped me down, leaning own and kissing me. Once done, he put my back up and I punched his chest, making him and everyone laugh. "Okay, that was more for me then you. Here." He handed me a package and I opened it, smiling some. "how in the hell did you know I wanted a watch?" I held up the Green sports watch with a black band. "I didn't. I just get tired of you asking the time." We both laughed.
*Spock's POV*
As I changed back into my normal attire in my room, I couldn't help but think about Alex. That kiss… It was heated and absolutely emotional and illogical. Though I could work through it, I still couldn't understand why I still felt the need to do it again.
I put on my regulation blue uniform and sat down on the bed, putting my face in my hands. Not long after, a felt something cold press on them, making me look. The male dog Alex called 'Sylar' stood and looked at me, then sat down, putting his head on my lap. "Fascinating." I murmured as I pet him.
You are sad.
My eyes went wide as I took my hand off the dog and looked at it. He picked it's head up, looking at me almost… Sympathetically. I tilted my head, and put my hand on it's own head. "I do not feel sadness." It just stared at me.
Yes you do. I can feel it.
I smiled only slightly, in the name of science. Then I sighed some, looking at him. "I guess you are correct. I cannot hide is as well as I use to, though I never had such cause for torment." He nudged his head.
I understand. Mama has been sad as well.
My brows came together, concerned flowing through me. There is only one other person he likes enough to let anyone touch him. "Do you know why she is sad?" His ears came down as he looked down.
She has bad dreams, bad, bad dreams. She talks of her father. I do not like it when she has bad dreams.
I looked up at that, mind racing. She always wanted to know my past, asked and asked and I would tell her to please her. But not once did I ask, nor did she ever mention of her own past. And Pike told me he encountered her father… But under what circumstances.
You can make her happy again.
My brows came together once more as I looked into his bright brown eyes. "I am of no use to her."
I may be classified as a dog, but I am of a different kind. I do have intelligence.
I raised an eyebrow at this, liking his company. "And how can I make her happy?" He walked up to me more, putting his nose to my chest.
By being there.
With that, he trotted away, leaving me alone and in wonder.
