Bookwormqueen: I will not answer, but I do have a plan! It should be revealed shortly.

Data: Yay, you are reading this! I will finish my others (though I removed WYHCIAH; I am going to redo it) and I am glad you like this one!

MySchemingMind: I am gald you like this! I hope you can read the rest. I believe that poor Telzah would actually be most accurate... LOL

Damia Alders: I am happy you like it! Sorry about the slow updates.

Jack Sparrow Fanatic: I really like you. Thank you for giving me four good reviews in one day! LOL FFN will not let me post the link to the group- try e-mailing MySchemingMind. Also, I agree about the whole non Spock/Christine thing. : )

Yes, it is me and my slow updates. I am also going to France for five weeks very soon, and I am moving, so there might not be anymore updates until the middle of August. I am posting as much as I can while I still can though! Thanks for putting up with me!

Jekri did not know how she managed to survive the next weeks. Spock, she concluded, was insane. He was completely and totally insane. Every morning he woke up before her. She imagined that he woke up before the birds themselves. When she asked though, he simply said that he woke up within five minutes of 0600 hours every morning. This, of course, only annoyed her more.

"You could just say you wake up at six," she suggested.

"That would be a lie, for I do not awaken at 0600 hours every morning," he answered calmly.

"It's called rounding," she said slowly, as though talking to a small child.

"Vulcans are as precise as possible. It could save your life someday, Jekri,"

"Is it your sole mission in life to torture me?"

"It is not."

"Argh! You were far from accurate there!"

"I was not." Knowing that saying anything else would only cause him to give her one of those emotionless and aggravating answers, Jekri stormed off to the dining to have breakfast, muttering something about dealing with Vulcans before having caffeine in the morning.

Another thing that drove Jekri batty was that every single day, he had a schedule drawn up for the two of them. If Jekri wanted to spend the day sitting at a café and eating ice cream, would write that down like a planned activity. And heaven forbid that she ask if they make a quick stop somewhere on the way home from something. Jekri did anyway though, and sometimes managed to get her way.

"You know, Spock, normal couples like spontaneous activities," she suggested once as she watching him scanning a padd with for possible activities. Much to her annoyance, the next day, the padd said, "1300-1430 hours: Spontaneous Activity."

For the most part though, Jekri did enjoy herself. Aside from the fact that she had a sentient computer posing a Vulcan by her side, she loved this. Despite the fact that they were on a mission, it felt more like a vacation than anything. They would do fun mountain activities, and casually ask how various people felt about unification.

Most people looked like they needed to regurgitate at the mention of unification, however roundabout. Jekri was beginning to feel that the rumors of a unification group here were false; however, Spock was not showing any signs of going back to the capital any time soon. Jekri loved the leisure, so she did not say anything either. So summer turned into fall, and if it was possible, Telzah became even more beautiful, and colorful. Some time in what would be like Earth's October, Jekri and Spock decided to go repelling.

"I have always wanted to jump off a huge mountain and soar like a bird of prey..." Jekri babbled excitedly as Spock steered the aircar to the top of a mountain. There was a wooden building that said "Restaurant and Repelling" on a sign. "I am so happy they made their purpose clear while using an exciting and original name!" Jekri laughed.

"Their name is neither exciting nor original," Spock said.

"It's called sarcasm, imbecile," Jekri said, rolling her eyes. Before Spock could point out that he was not an imbecile, Jekri got out and headed to the building. Spock came in a minute later and bought a private session, with an instructor, for the two of them, and turned around to see Jekri ordering a drink from the restaurant side.

"Come on, love, there will be plenty of time to buy drinks later," he said.

"But Telek, long aircar rides always make me thirsty and you never bring drinks in the 'car," Jekri complained.

"Jekri, we are going repelling, remember? We will be eating lunch here, okay?" He smiled, and Jekri could not help but marvel once again at his acting skills.

"Fine," she said, sighing, and followed him to the edge of a cliff, where a Romulan named Tovar awaited them with several complex looking ropes tied together with even more complex knots. He showed Jekri and Spock how to use them and explained about walking or bouncing down the cliff in a sitting position.

"Okay, let's go," Jekri said, impatient and hyper because of the idea of bouncing down a cliff. She seized a nearby rope.

"You need harnesses and helmets first," Tovar said.

"Oh," Jekri said softly, embarrassed. However, they were soon ready to repel. Spock leaned over the edge in a sitting position, like Tovar showed them, and calmly began walking down. Jekri backed up to the edge and took a leap off, letting some rope out as she arched out.

"Jekri, get in a sitting position or your entire body will crash against the cliff," Spock said as he attempted to stop her by throwing an arm out.

"Please make sure you do everything I mention, as it could be important, Tovar said dryly. Jekri lowered herself to a sitting position, then turned back to Spock, who had begun walking down the face once more.

"You were worried, weren't you," she teased.

"Vulcans do not worry," he whispered, though Tovar was concentrating on his own ropes and not their conversation.

"You so were," she said, and before he could respond again, she bounced of the wall again and landed clumsily a few feet below. Spock rolled his eyes ever so slightly and followed the Romulan down the mountain. They settled into a routine, with Jekri far ahead of the others. However, she did stop to watch when the Tovar tried to show Spock how to safely bounce.

"I do not enjoy bounced. Walking is fine for me," Spock said.

"Sir, I assure you, it is quite fun and safe when done correctly. Imagine you are one of those ancient 'bouncy balls' and just have fun!" he said.

"I am not a bouncy ball," Spock said in confusion. Jekri doubled over laughing.

"Telek, you have got let go sometime!" she laughed. To Tovar, she added, "My husband gets locked into quite a dull routine at work. I imagine he has forgotten how to have fun. Telek, come down here. Bounce with me!" Seriously wished he had never heard of repelling, Spock joined her... by walking, of course. She grabbed his hand.

"Push out with your feet when I say 'go.' Go!" Jekri screamed. Instinctively, Spock shoved himself off the wall and found himself being carried through the air with Jekri.

"I believe that I finally understand the human concept of being 'off the wall,'" Spock said, right before they landed again. But after that, Spock bounced down the wall with no more protests. The three reached the bottom in good time, two of them very happy, one pretending to be very happy.

"That was fun, wasn't Telek?" Jekri said, winking at him.

"I loved it!" Spock said with very out of character enthusiasm that Jekri knew was only surface deep.

"Now I can finally get out of this uncomfortable harness! You would think that after so many centuries of repelling, someone would design a comfortable one!" Jekri babbled on.

"No, we have to climb back up the mountain," Tovar pointed out.

"What!? I thought there would be a lift or something!" Jekri exclaimed.

"Part of the fun is experiencing things like this," Tovar said, clearly puzzled at her immediate assumption that they would only repel.

"Darling, let us just try rock climbing here. You seemed to like the mini cliff we scaled when we first arrived at Telzah," Spock pointed out.

"Oh right," Jekri said, and waited impatiently to climb throughout Tovar explanation of climbing procedures.

'This is more of Jim's type of thing...' Spock found himself thinking. His human half missed his supposedly late friend a lot at times like this. But he could not allow sentiment to get in the way of his task. It was illogical to dwell on the past.

Despite Spock's logic, Jekri realized that Spock was more subdued the rest of the day. Coming from a Vulcan, it was barely noticeable, but after spending every day with him for several weeks, she could notice. She wondered what caused it, and if she could ever grow to like and understand this strange creature enough to help him at times like these.
