Words can't describe how sorry I am for updating so late. I have excuses, but I'm woman enough to take the blame for my mistakes. I probably lost a lot of fans for procrastinating, but I'm here now and I especially want to apologize to my bff on this site Kristen. I'll message you a looooooong one I promise.

Now I'm going to do something that I think is illegal on this site, but I don't care. I am going to start replying to your reviews right here on my story. That way, I have no excuse for ignoring you guys. So, here it goes.

BlackBaccaraRose: Here I am

.two: Yeah, I have a really bad issue with that, but if you have any pointers for me to approve, I'd greatly appreciate it.

rebelgoddess19: You are too cruel

Kyouki-Mariah: Wait no longer

blueangelsvntn: I know right! For some odd reason I can see Spock being the father of one of those intolerant stick up the ass kind of families, but you'd still want to sex him in his back yard.

jimmysdeathgirl: me too

oldgrumpywizard: I have nothing against Nyota, but I don't think her and Spock make a good match at all. As for the delicious sentence, those are mighty rare in my stories.

phoenixflameangel: You are a very amusing reviewer. I'm glad I've entertained you so.

Cajun Queen Of Hearts: Thank you a lot. Most people are confused about Jade's relationship with them.

Kitty243:ok

angel19872006:done

twilightangel101:wait no longer

xXLoveEachDayXx:It's still alive, no need to worry.

Jordn: I don't know what abound means

Venetiangrl92: Your wish is my command

Onto the story…

"We've been hit." No shit Sulu.

I saw Jim scurry to his chair and begin to give orders. I could not decipher what he was saying because after Spock released me, everything became a blur. I remember seeing Bones escort Uhura to the medical wing, then everything went black.


.:Spock's Point of View:.

An unfamiliar emotion encased me every time Jaden interrupted our work on the bridge. Her visits were inefficient, yet entertaining. I attempt to view her without the notice of Nyota due to her distaste of the cadet. I was very curious as to why one would harbor hatred for another they know nothing of.

At 1910, I was too occupied with my thoughts to even acknowledge Nyota's departure. I did notice the dimming of the lights and turned to see Jaden smiling at the captain. Her smile was wide and the deficiency of light made her skin color glow where the light did reflect upon her. The foreign feeling returned and caused a stir in my abdomen. I shifted my focus on my work in hopes of extinguishing the instability inside me.

"So, tell me about this meteor shower." Jaden took Nyota's seat and leaned towards me. I prevented myself from fantasizing about Jaden sitting there every day instead of Nyota.

I was sure that she was only altering her body language under the circumstances of conversation, but the mere innocence of her presence was alluring. "There will be approximately 37 of them passing by in the unusually long 8 minutes and 49 seconds."

Her face adopted a worried expression. "Sulu's coordinates are correct right?" She mumbled. "Are we in a safe enough position?"

Her sheepish personality fascinated me. I prepared to calm her with an attempt at terran humor. Something I learned from Jim and I hoped it was the proper time for me to use it. The phrase 'That's what she said' were not able to pass through my lips due to Nyota's interruption. Instead I replied "We are fine".

Jade quickly glanced behind her to see an angry Nyota. "I shouldn't have to let you know that you are occupying my seat cadet."

"Of course not" stated Jaden. My eyes followed her as far as they could before she left my line of sight. I turned back to my station, paying no attention to my impolite cohort.

The shower had started, but I had chosen to view it from my console for a few minutes. With no sense of reason, I left my station in search of Jaden. I had proposed my meteor shower to her, so maybe there was a possibility that she wanted to view it as well. I found her near the front of the bridge with her arms crossed in front of her as usual. Her shapely legs stood close together with more weight on the left than the right. Her stance piqued my curiosity on its own. She put too much weight on her knees. Maybe she was not comfortable in her heels or skin for that matter.

Her lips were parted and her face free of emotion as I approached her. "Jaden" She jumped as if frightened.

My brow tightened and I searched her face to an answer to her actions. "Did I…"

She interrupted me by lifting a hand in between us, the other on her panting chest. I attempted not to notice. "No, I was just so focused on the shower, I wasn't aware of my surroundings."

I accepted the answer and felt relieved as we both turned to face the meteor shower. I was still concerned about her emotional state after her osculation with Chekov. There was no logic behind allowing her students to get revenge, let alone pointlessly kissing someone. A feeling not so foreign anymore returned to me. It was the feeling I got when I was under the impression that Jim and Jaden held a courtship.

Nyota occupied the left of me and I realized that although I spent most of my time with her, Jaden was the pinnacle of my thoughts.

One of the larger meteors passed by and it was the closest and fastest one yet. I took notice of Jaden's gasp in reaction. I turned to her with a barely amused expression and she ashamedly smiled in reply. I shamelessly watched as the cadet hung her head and twirled a silky lock around a lone index finger.

I faced the meteor shower, content with my company; or most of it. That was when I had seen a meteor heading for the Enterprise from a short distance. Yet it was too close to allow me to inform Sulu. The only thing I had time to do was brace myself for impact. Once the humans began to notice, they began to panic and scurry. If they were not secured to an object, they would surely be damaged. I on the other hand, had less of a chance of anything fatal occurring to my person.

Jaden was still by my side, clueless as of what to do. Her face was ridden with fear, but she still managed to look radiant. She was not one to think on her toes, especially under immense pressure. That made her the most vulnerable person in the room at the moment. I took pity on the deer in headlights. At least, that is what I told myself.


18 hours later, and here I stood in the middle of the medical bay, torn between simply where to stand. Jaden looked untastefully pale unconscious in her sterile bed. Nyota appeared much worse. She had hit her head in result of the collision. She has a minor concussion and a sprained ankle. I fear that she will be angry with me upon her awakening. A few cadets lay in various beds across the room, healing from minor injuries as well. I cursed the fact that the two of them were on separate sides of the room. I wanted to be there for the both of them, yet I did not want my separate relationships with them to fall in the same orbit.

I finally made the decision to stand by Nyota. Guilt clouded my mind after I caught Jaden, but at the moment, she was the only one I cared to save. Looking at the face of the woman I often shared a bed with, I believed my actions were illogical in protecting another woman.


.:Jaden's Point of View:.

My vision blurred drastically as I tried to see my sole visitor. I leaped into an upright position, excited to speak to him. That is, until my retinas started to function properly and I saw it was Jim. "Hi, Jim." I haven't the slightest idea as to why I was disappointed that it wasn't the man who saved me.

"Hey, sexy! Well maybe not at the moment, but I'll let it slide." If he wasn't joking, maybe it was a good thing Spock wasn't here.

The both of us shared a laugh as he dodged one of my half hearted punches. "I wish I could've visited more often, but you know it's hard. Being captain and all." He pulled a face like he was upset with himself before continuing.

"But you were in good hands though. Bones checked up on you as much as he could, which is a lot by the way. Most of the bridge and all of your students have stopped by at least once." My mind drifted to the forceful meeting of Nyota's head to the bridge floor.

"Is Uhura ok?" Jim nodded. "She's fine, Spock was with her all the time." I bit back the envy after hearing that.

Bones sauntered over to us, too busy to give a formal greeting. "I've got good news and bad news. Good news is that as of today, everyone should be healed of their injuries. Bad news is that your trial has been moved to today."

My eyes ping ponged between Jim and Bones. "What trial!" Bones immediately gave a pissed off groan that verged on a growl. "You're her best friend and you DIDN'T tell her!" Jim appeared sheepish for the first time in the entirety that I've known him. "I don't like being the bearer of bad news." Bones was surely a moment away from ripping his own hair out.

"What the fuck are you talking about? You are the captain! Which if you didn't know, is a synonym for bad news messenger!" Jim's voice displayed his defensiveness. "It's Jade, so it's different!" What's that supposed to mean? "Don't get me started with Jade!" As much as I loved watching them bicker like an old couple, I needed to know what was going on. Not to mention that people were starting to stare. I just had to intervene.

"What trial?" Bones pursed his lips, forcing Jim to answer my question.

"You're being held responsible for the collision."
