MySchemingMind: Actually, I did go to the Smithsonian. What is really scary is that the mall left a bigger impression on me than the Smithsonian. I might use some of your ideas- like perhaps some aliens with the eyebrow thing. Thanks!
Meakashi Gosterful: She knew it would be... illogical... to give Spock cologne, so she gave it to T'Son instead. LMAO J/K
Qwi13: I am so happy you liked it! We need to drag Nathan to those DC malls sometime. LOL
GreenCat3: I am so glad you like it! Thanks for reviewing!
Data: Now, now, Data, no mind reading. ROFL For someone who claims not to understand teenage girls, you do pretty well with me! Read on to find out what I mean!
Sorry about the long time with no update! I have excuses! First I had to watch Mirror, Mirror again, and it did not come on forever. Then I got writer's block. Then I started focusing a lot on my Harry Potter stories. (Read them if you like HP, I always like more readers and reviewers!) Hopefully, I turned out something okay. More fun next chapter!
Once again, the sparkling lights appeared, this time though on the Enterprise transporter pad. Kirk promptly went over to the intercom and made his announcement about the fake reasons T'Son, Toreth, and Qwi were on board. At last, the teenagers were shown to their own rooms.
As it turned out, they did not get nearly the type of rooms they had anticipated. They were all in one set of "quarters." There were two bedrooms, one with two beds, one with one. It was clear that Qwi and Toreth were to share one, T'Son the other.
"Oh no," Toreth moaned softly. "Remember what happened last time we were forced in close quarters for four days?" Qwi nodded.
The bedrooms connected to a very short hallway, off of which was a bathroom. The end of the hallway led to the living and dining area.
"Sorry you could not all have your own quarters," Kirk said. "We are hoping to pick up some Halkan ambassadors, and so we need to save the extras."
"Okay," the three said, already bored. The captain left.
"At least he will not be eating my lip gloss anymore," Toreth giggled. She explained what had happened to Qwi and T'Son. After a while, T'Son decided to go back to the bridge and Qwi decided to socialize with the crew. Toreth rolled her eyes and sat down in front of a computer. "Have fun," she said, raising an eyebrow at Qwi.
"Surely socializing here cannot be so bad!" Qwi protested.
"I learned my lesson with the Evil Classmates," Toreth said.
"They're not all evil," Qwi said as she walked out the door. Toreth stared at the closed door a minute.
"Yes they are," she whispered. Then she locked the door and sat back down in front of the computer. Toreth sighed, and glanced nervously at the door. Her rebellion was already sort of started; no sense in stopping now. "Computer, open a private channel to Romulus..."
Halka appeared in the main viewer, as the Enterprise dropped out of warp. Immediately, the three teenagers all looked up at Captain Kirk with pleading eyes. Kirk smiled at them.
"I can only take one of you," he said.
"Oh please!" Toreth said, tossing her head arrogantly. "Only yourself, Bones, Scotty, and Uhura are going down. You have had bigger landing parties!"
"How did you know!? I never told you who was beaming down!"
"That is exactly why you need us. We all know what is going to happen. In fact, I took notes during the epi... mmmnnngggghhhh!" Qwi put her hand over Toreth's mouth.
"As you keep reminding me, we cannot mess up the timeline!" she said. "Ow, don't bite me!" Qwi and Toreth glared at one another.
"Quit being so immature," T'Son said to the girls. "You should not take them when they might act like this- take me instead," he said to Captain Kirk, completely serious.
"What!?" Toreth and Qwi screeched. "Shall we kill him now?" Qwi asked, quarrel forgotten.
"I think we should," Qwi said. They turned to T'Son, who did nothing but look pointedly at Spock. Toreth smiled guiltily and backed off.
"Girls in love are so predictable," T'Son muttered. Raising his voice, he said, "You know, Toreth, Spock is staying behind.
"Yeah, but I want to meet..." Toreth began, then looked at all the confused crewmembers, and shut up.
"Okay, I've made my decision," Kirk said suddenly, standing up.
"Just like that?" Qwi asked.
"You get used to split second decisions as a starship captain," Toreth whispered. "Besides, I think he was tired of being confused by our talk." Qwi laughed.
"I'm taking T'Son," Kirk said. There was another outcry of "what!?" from both girls. "And Qwi," he said. Toreth's eyes opened wide and the Romulan's face took on a look of disbelief. Qwi grinned, now really knowing what Toreth meant by "split-second."
"I am going to kill you two when you get there, because I will not be allowed to go either," Toreth said.
"That statement is illogical," Spock said.
"You will think differently once you know what is really going on," Toreth said. Qwi and T'Son laughed, but were silenced with a glare from Toreth. "As for me, I am going to go take a walk. Outside. I am sure I will not do that, so do not try to stop me." She strode into the turbolift and wished it had a door she could slam.
"We have to stop her!" Bones said.
"Nah," T'Son said lazily. "If she does not make at least twenty-six death threats, to herself or someone else, every day, we know something is wrong.
"Just never give her a dagger," Qwi added.
"Are all twenty-first century teenagers like you three?" Kirk asked weakly. T'Son and Qwi looked horrified.
"Are you implying that we might be," T'Son started. He closed his eyes and whispered the horrible word out. "Normal!?"
"Would you accuse us of such a thing!?" Qwi asked. Kirk, Spock, and McCoy looked at one another, at a loss for words.
"What would Toreth say!? I wish she could come," T'Son said.
"Oooooo, you think she's goooooorgeous, you want to daaaaate her, you want to huuuuug-" Qwi said in a singsong voice before she was cut off.
"Shut up. I have never even seen Miss Congeniality," T'Son said.
"Then how do you know where that is from?" Qwi asked teasingly.
"You and Toreth sing it to me often enough," T'Son muttered.
"I loved that holovid!" Uhura said from the back of the bridge.
"Really?" Qwi said with excitement. "What did you think of that song?" The males on the bridge rolled their eyes at one another.
Meanwhile, Toreth was storming off the turbolift towards the nearest airlock. She all but radiated fury, and any crewmember with half a brain (or whatever passed for a brain in their species) jumped out of the way... quickly.
'How dare he take them and not me!?' she thought. 'I want so badly to meet Mirror Spock! I am the one in love here, people! Well, people and other species.' She reached the airlock and entered the first set of doors. Inside though, she sank to the ground and hugged her knees.
'I cannot kill myself before I have reached Romulus!' Toreth though desperately. 'Oh light, now I am getting predictable. T'Son and Qwi know I will not really kill myself... so what do I do? Maybe I can replicate a dagger... Qwi did get pretty upset when I cut my wrist last time... and now I am feeling sorry for myself! Oh, shoot me."
Later that day, Kirk, Spock, McCoy, Uhura, Scotty, and the Trekkie Trio were all gathered in the transporter room.
"Bye Toreth," Qwi said, hugging her. "See you on the other side." She winked.
"See you on ISS," Toreth said, hugging her back. Despite all of his protests, she hugged T'Son too. "If you hate this, just think what I will do." She raised her eyebrows at him. He looked panicky while the Starfleeters looked confused. The six people stepped on the transporters and Toreth beamed them out. The moment they were gone, Toreth dropped her mask of calm, tears coming to her eyes.
"...but I am the one in love..." Spock heard her whisper to herself.
"Toreth?" he asked, a bit uncomfortable (though he would never admit that emotion) with the emotional teen.
"Just remember, Spock, this is definitely not going to go as expected. Unless discovering new universes is what you thought would happen. I also have a few surprises of my own planned. Mirror, Mirror is definitely not going to happen the way it should. Who gives a damn about the proper timeline!?"
"Is something wrong?" Spock asked mildly. He raised his infamous eyebrow.
"Things will be a lot more wrong soon," she said. With a smile that reminded him all too much of a Romulan plotting something, she walked out of the room.
'That is one future chairman of the Tal Shiar,' Spock thought to himself, wondering if he should lock her in the brig.
