T'Slash: Well I am happy to say that I survived my trip to Oregon and made it back safely. Only twelve hours in a car. Then evil aunt coming over, yeah lots of evil but I made it. I would like to thank you all for your continued support, makes me smile! Well school starts in a week so hell begins again, sadly.

Disclaimer: I do not own, if I did well this would be a soundtrack and a movie! That and I wouldn't be taking Chemistry in a week.

Okay so I killed this song myself. I think I did a good job but…who knows! I hope you guys enjoy this!

Songs of a Captain and First Officer

Chapter 35: Faith of the Heart

"This song goes out to Jim and Spock, may their love last many years," James said, smiling down at his counterpart, T'Pock standing proudly besides him. They quickly looked at each other before launching into the song, the crew standing at attention.

It's been a long journey

Traveling from there to here

It's been a long time

But their time is finally here

"It did take us some time didn't it?" Jim asked smiling brightly up at Spock, the bond humming with love and warmth. Hmm, I wonder, Jim thought, a mischievous thought spreading though his mind.

"It may have, Jim, but I am…proud…of where we have ended up," Spock said, chocolate orbs twinkling as he looked down at his mate, spying in on his plan.

Hey, Spock, Jim called through the bond, his smile widening.

Yes, Jim, Spock replied, allowing his lips to twitch upwards slightly. Jim smiled brightly before looking around, seeing everyone attention fixed on two before pulling Spock into the crowd, disappearing from sight.

And we can feel the pull of destiny right now

Nothing's in its way

And they aren't going to be held back this time

No their not gonna hold them back

T'Pock and James sang, glaring at the Admiral who in their time had been the only ones, other then themselves who had held them back from reaching all they could be. All they were destined to be.

I am…glad that this Starfleet saw the error of their ways, T'Pock stated, looking into his mates equally grateful eyes. Reaching out automatically to share a small Vulcan kiss, much to the crews amazement.

Yeah, James replied, returning the kiss before looking out. Wait…where did those two go? James scanned the crowd, unable to locate the two missing officers.

Cause we've got faith of the heart

We are going where our destinies will take us

We've got faith in the universe

We can do anything

We've got strength in the bond

And no one's gonna bend or break it

We can reach any star

We've got faith

We've got faith

Of the heart

Two voices joined in, shocking the crew as their own Captain and First Officer joined their counterparts on the stage. Jim and James smiled brightly at each other, James shaking his head knowing he should have see this coming, while Spock and T'Pock ever so slightly nodded their heads before they turned back to the crowd.

"Just what we needed, all four of them singin," McCoy sighed, rubbing his temples as he waved over another drink.

"I think its perfect," Kallista said, materializing at his side, Terry and Aki besides her, making Andie, who was seated on his lap, and McCoy jump.

"You would," Andie laughed, eyes sparkling as she turned back to the stage.

"Of course," Terry replied, laughing as he looked as the four slowly dancing on the stage, lost in their loved ones eyes.

It's taken a long time

To find my T'hy'la

Been though the darkness

Now I finally found my light

And I will see our dreams come alive at last

We will touch the stars

And they cannot hold us apart any longer

No they cannot change our minds

Jim and Spock sang, moving to step forward, their counterparts smiling, well James smiling T'Pock's eyes sparkling, at them as they faced the Admirals. Boldly telling them they couldn't stop them. That they were destined to be together and would never leave each other.

"That kid," Pike laughed, zooming in on Jim's smiling face before looking at Archers amused expression. At least some admirals are enjoying it, Pike thought.

Cause we've got faith of the heart

We are going where our destinies will take us

We've got faith in the universe

We can do anything

We've got strength in the bond

And no one's gonna bend or break it

We can reach any star

We've got faith

Faith of the heart

Indeed you do, James, T'Pock, Spock and Jim. Destiny lead us towards each other and it will keep you both together as well. I will make sure of it, the silver haired girl thought, daring anything to try and tear the two apart. Wither it is Klingons or even death itself, she would risk her life to protect them and this ancient bond. It's my job after all, she thought humorously.

Nyota grinned, jumping to her feet and pulling Andie into the shadows. The other's instantly following her. Evil grins on their faces. It was almost time.

We've know of death so total and have seen the cold bodies

But now the universe we see, is only a universe of hope

We've been though hell and been though its rebirth

And we are all fine

"Speak for yourself! I've lost my sanity thanks to you!" McCoy yelled out, Jim smiling innocently at his friend before laughing as McCoy growled at him.

"Thas the Cap'n for ya," Scotty said, laughing at McCoy.

"Don't we know it," Sulu said, sitting in Jim's empty seat, smiling happily up at his commander as Chekov sat besides him. Their hands locked together.

Cause we've got faith of the heart

We are going where our destinies will take us

We've got faith in the universe

We can do anything

We've got strength in the bond

And no one's gonna bend or break it

We can reach any star

We've got faith

We can survive anything, James thought, looking into the bond. Its now golden thread held fast, like a rope. Never loosening or fraying.

As we have proved before, T'Pock replied, allowing his lips to be lifted up, chocolate eyes soft as he reached over, pulling his bondmate close, indifferent to the crew around them.

Nothing will break us Spock. Nothing, Jim thought, reaching out to squeeze Spock hands, eyes never leaving each others.

Yes, Jim. Our bond is strong, Spock replied, looking into the bond, the bright green and red strands wrapped tightly around each other, getting stronger by the day.

We've got faith of the heart

We are going were our destinies will lead us

We've got strength of the bond

And no one's gonna bend or break it

We can reach any star

We've got faith

We've got faith

Faith of the heart

Nyota and the muses, including the freshly clothed Andie, made their way onto the stage. Bright smiles on their faces as their gold bracelets clicked together. They paused at the walkway onto the stage, smiling up at their Captain and First Officer as well as the counterparts, happy that they were here.

It's been a long road

James and T'Pock finished, smiling at each other. It had been a long road of recovery and secrecy. They were stuck here and would make the best of it.

The crew jumped to their feet, loudly supporting the Captains and First Officers. The four bowed, small smiles on their faces before they stepped down, feeling accomplished. James and T'Pock made their way to the smiling Pike while Jim and Spock approached McCoy's table. Jim's smile never leaving his face.

"Proud of yourself aren't yah," McCoy asked, eyes shinning with happiness even as he growled at his friend.

"Yes, yes I am," Jim said, patting his friends shoulder before he looked over at the Primes, both smiling at each other. Happy to be together, even if they were stuck in a universe not their own.

Nyota smiled brightly at the four before the five walked onto the stage, muses robes blowing gently in the wind as he picked up their microphones. The crew looked towards the girls. Just you wait Jim, this one's for you, Nyota thought, smiling evilly as she locked eyes with her Captain.

T'Slash: Well that didn't turn out the way I thought it would…but then again when has anything in this story turned out the way I thought it would. Never I tell you! As for what the muses are planning/going to sing…you will just have to wait! And only 15 chapters left people! It's almost done! I don't know when I will update next but I will try and update soon. It's almost 3am here so I am going to go pass out. Please remember to leave a review!
