"Well Jim, Lester and Coleman are off the Enterprise now," Bones said as they moved away from Starbase 2 on impulse speed. "I hope that gives you a little piece of mind."
Kirk shook his head. "I doubt I'll be back to normal for a while, Bones."
"If you don't mind me asking, why did she want to be a captain so bad?"
"She wanted to have what I had, in the way that I had it. She thought if she could do that, that I would respect her more. And then I left her, and then... well." Kirk waved his hands. "If I could go back, I would change so much. My playboy tendencies in Starfleet have come back to bite me, and endangered everyone aboard the Enterprise."
"So did you learn anything by being in Lester's body?" Bones asked.
"Oh, quite a bit," Kirk said, but he declined to say anything further about the matter.
Thanks to everyone who has left kudos, comments, and otherwise enjoyed this collection! Your support is much appreciated. I'll be doing a similar series for TNG, Voyager, and DS9, so feel free to follow me if you'd be interested! Thanks again, and as always, LLAP!
