A/N: This will be extremely short and the next one quite long but it'll be sooooo worth it. Get out your Kleenexes again, it's time for the Big Day, coming in Ch. 36.
In his dream, Jim was holding hands with Spock on the bridge. Everything was great. Then Admirals Komack and Nogura came on the bridge. One stood behind each man and began to pull them apart. Jim scrabbled for Spock's hand. His fingers were slipping though.
"SPOCK!" he cried, and then he was being shaken.
"Jim." Spock smoothed Jim's hair back. "Jim, wake up. You are experiencing a nightmare."
Jim rolled over and gasped. His throat was killing him and he was covered in a cold sweat. "How long have I been out?"
Spock helped him sit up. "You have been asleep approximately two hours. I came to tell you we have half an hour to prepare for our second wedding."
Jim shivered. "Oh. Okay. Uh, I need a shower. Want to join me?" He seemed to perk up at this idea.
Spock shook his head. "I doubt either of us would get clean and more than likely someone would be injured in the process." He gave a small smile to his mate.
"Rats. No shower sex. Okay. I'll be right back." Jim got up and went into the bathroom to take his shower. When he returned, Spock had laid out both their dress uniforms and was pinning the ribbons on Jim's jacket.
"Your turn," Jim called. Spock nodded and picked up the jacket, making sure the ribbons were on straight. Then he laid it back down carefully and went into the bathroom for his shower. While he was in the shower, Jim returned the favor and hung Spock's ribbons on his jacket. He was just straightening one when Spock came back out in just his underwear.
Jim growled playfully. "Yum. Can we get married like this?"
Spock stopped and gave his partner a long-suffering look. "Get ready, Jim."
"I am!" Jim protested.
"Put your uniform on, James." Spock began dressing. Then he waited for his mate. When they were done, Spock nodded to the door. "Are you prepared?"
Jim nodded. "I'm nervous all over again though." They walked to the transporter room and beamed down.
They arrived at Sarek's house, in the front. Two ensigns met them and told them to stay put; apparently the wedding was being held behind Sarek's house. There was the sound of music being played softly over loudspeakers and murmuring voices, most likely the crew. Finally the ensigns brought them to the very back of the house.
"You'll both walk up the aisle when your cue happens," one of the ensigns told them.
The music ended and there was silence for a moment, then another song began playing. After a short wait the ensigns motioned to Jim and Spock to walk down the aisle.
