Spocktacular:

What Could Have Happened Part 10

Spock walked into the kitchen to find a bowl of granola with freshly cut strawberries and peaches and a cut of spicy sweet Vulcan tea. The scent was redolent and brought back memories of his childhood. He truly appreciated Nyota's consideration to his home world and happily sat down to eat his granola.

Nyota entered the room carrying her own cup of tea and came to sit across from him. "We've got 0023 hours before we must report to class. I have no idea when we are going to switch bodies again, but if things continue as they have been I believe we should create a schedule. I have done my best to grade all of your reports Spock, but the process would proceed much quicker if you assisted me. Moreover, it is reasonable that I do my own homework, instead of you doing it for me as we have different approaches to writing reports. I have read all of your papers on sub-space transmissions and physics and I noticed that you always prove your points with seven reasons, and for each reasons you go into extensive detail, providing at least three examples." Nyota stated calmly, taking a sip of her tea. Spock blinked; he had not realized Nyota spent so much time analyzing his papers.

"Yes, you are right. It would make this whole process less alien if we were to do our usual work. I will return here after classes so I can grade the reports from my classes, and you can do the homework for yours." Spock agreed. Nyota nodded.

"Thank you for the breakfast Nyota." Spock gave a small smile. Nyota's lips twitched.

"No need to thank me. You need your nutrition. I will get my PADDs and leave now; you should leave when you are done." Spock was impressed at the way Nyota was speaking; she had really taken on his character. Spock nodded and watched as she left the table and went to retrieve her PADDs. Spock finished his breakfast, drained his tea and then took the dishes to the refresher. He grabbed his bag and headed out, determined to heal all the wounds he had caused.

Spock spent the day making his best effort to assimilate into the culture, and at times forcing himself to smile. He had not realized just how at ease he was in Nyota's presence, smiling when she was not around proved more difficult that he had anticipated. However, when he entered his Vulcan II class, to find Nyota standing at the podium, a true smile finally graced his lips. The fact that the first thing Nyota did was tell the class the reason for her odd behavior two days before only made him happier. He could tell that Nyota was giving it her all, and he appreciated the way she dealt with all the questions the students asked her. She never twitched, never changed her stance, or smiled. And her voice remained perfectly level.

Spock took copious notes, and even made an attempt to chat with Cadet Kirk. By the end of the day he was pleased with his progress, if quite tired and a bit uneasy about all the socializing. He entered his quarters to find Nyota sitting on the couch another cup of tea in her hands.

She looked at him and gave him a small smile, he returned it happily. He walked over to the couch and dropped his bag off by the couch, before sitting down next to Nyota. He breathed out and smiled.

He realized his heart was beating faster than normal and that he was slightly dizzy. He closed his eyes and sighed.

"Are you feeling alright?" Nyota asked, reaching up a hand and placing it on his forehead. Spock's heart beat faster and he opened his eyes to see a concerned Nyota placing her tea on the table.

"Yes, I'm fine. Just tired. Thank you for everything you have done." He stated, wanting to express his appreciation for everything Nyota had done for him. Nyota retracted her hand from his forehead and her face softened.

"It was only appropriate that I amend what I had done. My previous actions were abominable, and I still feel guilty for having committed them. You did much more for me than I have done for you, I saw you trying to socialize. Thank you." Her voice was soft and her eyes caring. Spock warmed slightly and smiled slightly.

"Still, thank you. And you are welcome, I too feel guilty for my past actions." Spock stated, and acting upon impulse moved his hand to take hold of Nyota's. It was strange, holding your own hand, but in a way not uncomfortable. Nyota seemed surprised but her eyes crinkled in a silent smile. She squeezed his hand slightly, making fire erupt in his gut and travel upwards, warming him from inside out. He felt a swooping sensation in his stomach and his heart beat faster than ever. He had never held another's hand in this way, but he found the experience to be extremely pleasurable.

He realized he was grinning like a fool, and that his thumb was stroking Nyota's knuckles. He flushed, but didn't stop the motion. He didn't know how long they stood like that, with their hands interlaced, his thumb running along her fingers, and her hand occasionally giving his a squeeze, but eventually Nyota shifted and he hastily retracted his hand.

He looked down to avoid looking her in the eye, and for the first time realized just how green his ears could turn. Nyota's face was flushed green but there was a small smile on her lips and her eyes were shining.

Spock cleared his throat, placing his hands on his knees, "Why don't we take out work with us to dinner, so we can get food and do the work at the same time?" He asked, cautiously. He turned his head in time to see a real smile gracing Nyota's lips before she quickly stopped it. She caught his gaze and nodded.

"That sounds reasonable. Also, I was musing over the idea that it would be less suspicious for us to be together so often if you would hire me as your assistant. Professors and their assistants go out to eat together all the time, and the assistant is constantly in the professor's room helping him or her." Nyota stated all business again. Spock turned his head slightly, considering the idea and then nodded.

"That is an ideal idea. I will hire you right now, well, actually it will be you hiring me." Spock smiled at the irony. Nyota raised an eyebrow.

"Indeed." She took her PADD and quickly typed in the required information which would promote herself to assistant. Spock took the PADD at the end and typed in the needed confirmation code. Nyota made a point not to watch as he did so, something he admired in her. When he was done he returned the PADD to her and smiling slightly stood up.

"Dinner sounds great!" He exclaimed, and deciding to take advantage of the fact that he was not in his own body, he waved his arms around and did a little jig. When he turned around Nyota was biting her lip and her eyebrows were raised.

"Exquisite dancing, Cadet. Inform me as to wear you learned such techniques." She stood up, her hands placed behind her back and Spock laughed.

"From a grand master." He winked and smiled. Suddenly an idea struck him, "Why don't we order take out, and stay here. I could demonstrate a few more of my moves, and I would like to test my abilities in 3D chess against my own body." Spock moved around the coffee table and placed his hand on his hips, delivering a direct challenge.

Nyota simply shook her head slightly and nodded. "That is an adequate suggestion. I shall order while you may practice your 'moves'." She smirked slightly and walked towards the communicator. Spock puckered his lips and dropped his hands to his sides. He was feeling oddly happy and giddy, and had the sudden inspiration to play some dance music.

He could hear Nyota ordering a vegetarian pizza in the other room, so he went over to the computer and asked it to play a selection of music so he could choose what he liked. It went through several different genres, jazz, rap, hip hop, classical, heavy metal, hard rock and roll, romantic rock, and a few others. Spock was surprised to find that he really liked one of the clips the computer played: it was an old song by Cascada—an old band from the early 21st century. The song was called "Every Time We Touch," and the lyrics along with the beat struck a chord with in him. He selected the song and the computer played the song.

Spock blinked as he listened to the lyrics, and slowly began swaying to the music. His feet began moving to the beat and his arms started swaying. He turned around to find Nyota leaning against the wall, a faraway look in her eyes. He stopped moving, feeling slightly abashed, but then Nyota stood up and walked over to him.

"Why did you choose this particular song, Spock?" She asked, her voice low and soft. Spock blinked.

"I believe that I unconsciously felt drawn to the lyrics, as they describe what I have been going through," he stated, lowering his eyes. The music continued to resound through the room and he was aware of the fact that his heart was beating faster.

Nyota smiled minutely and moved her hand to cup his cheek, "I agree, I love this song." Spock nodded and flushed, heat was emanating from where she had placed her hand. He couldn't tear his eyes away from her's and he was breathing harshly.

Suddenly he became aware of the fact that the song had ended and he turned, the spell broken. Nyota lowered her hand from his cheek and went over to the computer. Spock followed her.

"I know a song which you will probably appreciate," She said and ordered the computer to play "Gotta Be Somebody" by Nickleback. Nyota walked over to the couch and sat down, placing her hands in her lap. Spock suddenly felt nervous and in the spot light.

"Exhibit your moves Spock," Nyota told him, and he could hear the amusement in her voice. Spock gulped.

"I am not sure that I can perform," he replied nervously. Nyota gave him a look and then made light of the situation.

"Cadet Uhura, I order you to dance. Disobeying a command by your superior officer is a court martial offense." She ordered, straightening even more and sending Spock a fake glare. Spock smiled slightly. If she could joke around, then so could he. It was only logical to practice all areas of his new personality.

"Of course, Commander Spock." He replied sternly. "However, I must have faster music." The song was ending. Nyota nodded.

"Computer play "Don't Stop the Music" by Rihanna." Nyota ordered. Spock gave her a questioning look and she raised her eyebrow suggestively. Spock stood straight and let his arms rest at his sides. The music started, and after a few seconds a strong fast beat appeared. Spock was startled as the volume got higher, but Nyota was staring down.

Time to show her his moves, he thought smugly. He wiggled his eyebrows suggestively and then started bobbing his head to the music. He spread his legs and took up a wider stance and started shaking his arms. He moved his shoulders to the beat and even jumped up and did a twirl when the music got faster. He moved his hips and closed his eyes, shaking his whole body to the music. He grinned as his movements got move extravagant, enjoying the fact that he could exaggerate his motions.

By the end the song he had the chorus memorized and was pretending to be singing along. When the song finally ended he bounced over to the couch and did a star fish interpretation. "Oh yah!" He exclaimed, coming to a stop in front of Nyota. She was griping a pillow with both of her hands and was turning red. Spock decided to see if he could break her control and with a final flourish wiggled his eyebrows up and down.

"See Commander, I could really teach you some moves!" He stated suggestively and shaking his body slightly. Nyota's control broke and she fell over on the couch laughing. Spock grinned and fell down on the couch next to her. Her laughter resounded through the room and she clutched at her stomach. After a few minutes she caught her breath and sat up.

"That was an admirable performance. I will now demonstrate Vulcan dancing." She stated with a straight face. Spock gave her an incredulous look but nodded. Nyota nodded and stood up, and Spock sat back, ready to see the performance of a life time. If Nyota could dance while staying in character than she really was a great actress. Nyota told the computer to play "Don't Stop the Music" again. Then she stood ramrod straight up, her arms clasped behind her back and her feet exactly shoulder width apart. Spock raised an eyebrow as the music came on.

Instead of going wild as he had she stood straight, and then when the fast beat came on, took a perfectly calculated step forward, her arms still clasped behind her. Then she did a perfect turn and stepped back again. She then turned in an exact right angle and did a small jump, which placed her exactly one foot away from where she had been. She extended her foot and traced a straight line from where she had jumped to where she stood. Then she moved her foot a drew a line from her placement to a point in the air which was exactly one foot above the previous point. She continued to move in such a manner, being extremely precise in her movements, but always following the beat. She used her arms several times in sharp movements, and when the song had ended she had arrived in exactly the same place she had begun. Spock was impressed. If all of Nyota's movements had been etched into the air he knew he would have seen a perfectly drawn diamond with an elegantly done interior with perfect 45-45-90 degree triangles and squares.

She finished with a perfect twirl and then stepped over to him. She nodded her head slightly, her arms clasped behind her again. Spock grinned.

"That was impressive. I had not known it was possible to dance in a logical manner, but your dancing has corrected me." He chuckled. Nyota nodded and her lips twitched up.

"Thank you." A bell chimed and she moved away. "That is the pizza." She left Spock sitting on the couch and went to retrieve the pizza. A few seconds later she called to him to come eat. Spock got off the couch and walked over to the table. It was a very interesting experience to be the guest in his own home.

Nyota placed the plates out and served the pizza. "I think you will enjoy this." Spock smiled wryly and sat down.

"Despite what you think, I have had pizza before. Commander Pike insisted on taking me out on occasion to try new foods."

"Indeed. Fascinating." Nyota stated dryly, sitting down.

"It is, I know. Hm, are these mushrooms? Did you know that all cultivated fungi are grown in manure? Recently mutant species of fungi have been discovered; it is hypothesized that the waste of non-humans which is sometimes used is the cause for these mutations." He stated dryly, taking the mushroom off the pizza and nibbling on it. Nyota raised an eyebrow, her lips pursed.

"Fascinating." She stated again, cocking her head to the side slightly. Spock smiled slightly. He wondered how far he could push her, until she could not longer state that something was fascinating.

Nyota took a bite of her pizza, a teasing look in her eyes. Spock decided to take up the unspoken challenge.

"I was reading about this newly discovered planet, Stelma XI. It is similar to the sol systems Mars and they discovered that there are microscopic single celled organisms living on the planet. What is extraordinary about these organisms is that instead of having only one nucleus, they have two!" Spock stated with overly dramatized enthusiasm.

Nyota's eyebrow rose again, and a small smile twitched on her lips. "That is fascinating." She stated calmly. Spock chuckled.

"What is even more fascinating is the fact that they have just published a new edition of Universal Standard Dictionary, and instead of having five thousand and four pages, it has five thousand and five! They had to add one extra page because the final sentence in the dictionary was one word too long!" Spock widened his eyes in an expression of astonishment and enthusiasm.

He could see Nyota's amusement in her eyes, but she managed to keep a straight face. "That is truly fascinating."

"I know." Spock stated in a high pitched voice, nodding emphatically. "Also, there was a crisis earlier today because an Andorian found that his container of toothpicks didn't have 1000 tooth picks, but instead had 999 toothpicks. The Andorian is filing a lawsuit for damages of exactly point five cents, the cost of that missing toothpick. It was intergalactic news!" Spock stated as if he were talking about the destruction of several planets.

Spock's statement was greeted with hacking coughs as Nyota spit all her water over the table. She had been taking a sip while he spoke. Spock smirked, and waited for her to recover. She did so admirably, and replied straight faced.

"Fascinating."

Spock shook his head slightly, highly amused. He took another bite of his pizza, and watched as Nyota mopped up the mess.

"Spock, you employed under handed tactics. It is only reasonable that I get the chance to test your control as well." Nyota stated calmly. Spock was intrigued.

"Of course, although I am sure that you will fail." He teased.

Nyota raised an eyebrow. "Close your eyes." She ordered. Spock was puzzled but obeyed, he wondered what she would do.

Nyota smirked to herself, suddenly feeling extremely brave and foolish. Ah well, she thought. My turn for fun. She stood up, and walked over to stand by Spock's chair. His eyes remained closed. She was suddenly nervous, but she pushed her nerves aside. She knew know that he saw her the way she saw him, so it only made sense that she do this.

She leaned down and whispered into Spock's ear, "Spock, you can open your eyes now." She didn't give herself the chance to back down, and just as his eyes opened she leaned closer and placed her lips on his. Her heart sped up considerably and her stomach swooped as she mover her lips, and suddenly her heart exploded in joy as Spock responded, his lips joining hers in an eternal dance. Nyota felt herself flush and smiled against Spock's lips. She was about to pull back, but Spock moved his hand to her neck and pulled her down further. Nyota chuckled inwardly, and her last thought before she was lost in a world of warming fire and butterflies was that Spock had lost control.
