Chapter One: Here We Go Again

They were on the planet Nibiru and as usual Captain James Kirk had a plan that went against the rules. Sadie was watching from the Captain's chair as everything was happening.

Jim and Leo were down on the planet districting the inhabits as Sulu, Spock and Nyota were in a shuttle trying to place a cold fusion device that Spock had created to stop the volcano that would kill the entire planet.

Sadie was nervous, this went against the prime directive, while everyone was onboard with saving the planet if they were found out they were all screwed, no matter how much Chris loved their ship and crew.

Sadie could hear Jim huffing and puffing, maybe now he'd start working out with her, then he yelled out shooting his phaser.

"Damn it, man! That was our ride! You just stunned our ride!" Leo yelled out.

"Oh great," Jim scoffed, they heard yells of the natives coming after them and Jim exclaimed, "Run!"

"What the hell did you take?" Leo yelled out.

"I have no idea," Jim replied, "but they were bowing to it." He then spoke into his communicator, "Kirk to Shuttle One. Locals are out of the kill zone. You are clear. Repeat. Spock, get in there, neutralize the volcano and let's get out of here."

"We have to do this now!" Sulu said, "I told the Captain

the shuttle wasn't built for this kind of heat."

Sadie shook her head, Jim rarely listened when it came to moments like this.

"Captain, did the indigenous life forms see you?" Spock asked.

"No, Mr. Spock, they did not," Jim replied.

Sadie rolled her eyes as Spock begin lecturing, "The Prime Directive clearly states there can be no interference with the internal development of alien civilizations."

"I know what it says!" Jim replied, "Which is why I'm running through the jungle wearing a disguise! Now drop off your super ice cube and let's go! Kirk out!"

"You're good," Nyota said finishing suiting Spock up.

"If we're gonna do this," Sulu said, "we've got to do it now! This ash is killing our coils."

"You sure you don't want me to go instead?" Nyota asked smiling.

"That would be highly illogical," Spock replied, "as I am already outfitted-"

"Spock, I was kidding," Nyota smiled. "You got this."

"Guys!" Sulu yelled out, "We have to go! Now!"

"They're trying to kill us!" Leo yelled out making Sadie smirk, she said she should of gone with Jim, but Leo being the gentleman he was and trying to mend their relationship said he'd go instead, "They're trying to kill us, Jim!"

"I'll see you in 90 seconds," Nyota said to Spock.

"Do it, do it!" Sulu said probably telling Nyota to lower Spock into the volcano.

"I can't hold this position," Sulu said, "Spock, I've got to pull you back up."

"Negative," Spock denied, Sadie was in a shock, if they didn't he would die, "This is our only chance to save this species. If this volcano erupts, the planet dies."

"Pull him back up. Now!" Sadie demanded into the comm, she wasn't going to let Spock die.

Then the coil snapped, Sadie started shaking her head, this wasn't good. "Spock, are you okay?" She asked.

"I am, surprisingly, alive. Stand by." Spock answered.

"We have to get him back," Nyota said, "I'll suit up. I'm gonna go down."

Sulu shook his head, "We have to abandon the shuttle."

"We can't just leave him, Sulu!" Nyota yelled.

"We don't have a choice!" Sulu replied. "Uhura, I'm sorry.

"Spock, we're going back to the Enterprise," Nyota told Spock, "We'll get you out of there."

"Captain, I'm ditching the shuttle," Sulu began to tell Jim, "You've got to make it to the Enterprise on your own.

"Wonderful!" Jim groused out.

"Uhura! You ready to swim?" Sulu asked.

"I'm ready," Nyota answered nodding.

"Jim!" Leo yelled out, "Jim! The beach is that way!"

"I know! We're not going to the beach!" Jim replied running towards the cliff where the ocean was just below.

"Oh, no, no, no!" Leo yelled out following him. 'I hate this!"

"I know you do!" Jim yelled out jumping with Leo right behind him.

"Do you have any idea how ridiculous it is to hide a starship on the bottom of the ocean?" Scotty started in on Jim the moment the water was clear and the doors open from their chamber. "We've been down here since last night! The salt water's gonna ruin the..."

Jim cut him off, "Scotty! Where's Spock?"

"Still in the volcano, sir." Scotty sadly replied.

Leo and Jim hurried up to the bridge, Sadie stood up from the chair announcing, "Captain on the bridge!"

"Lieutenant, do we have an open channel to Mr. Spock?" Jim asked Nyota right away.

Sadie turned to Leo leaning into him, he wrapped his arm around her placing a quick kiss onto her forehead. Sadie was happy, things between them were being mended, they were back together and she swore to herself to never speak of the time they were apart. Leo knew very little, they had broken up due to the things he had said, and Sadie had a fling with a Starfleet officer several months later but it ended the moment Leo had come to her apologizing.

Sadie was brought back to the moment by Nyota replying to Jim, "The heat's frying his comms, but we still have contact."

"Spock?" Jim called out his first officer's name.

"I have activated the device, Captain." Spock replied, "When the countdown is complete, the reaction should render the volcano inert."

"Yeah, and that's gonna render him inert!" Leo pointed out.

Jim asked, "Do we have use of the transporters?"

"Negative, sir," Sadie replied knowing the science behind it all, the magnetic fields wouldn't allow it. "Not with these magnetic fields."

"I need to beam Spock back to the ship," Jim said, "Give me one way to do it."

"Maybe if we had a direct line of sight," Chekov said, "If we got closer..."

However he was cut off by Scotty, "Hold on, wee man! You're talking about an active volcano! Sir, if that thing erupts, I cannae guarantee we can withstand the heat!"

Sulu nodded stepping in, "I don't know that we can maintain that kind of altitude."

"Our shuttle was concealed by the ash cloud," Spock spoke up, "but the Enterprise is too large. If utilized in a rescue effort, it would be revealed to the indigenous species."

"Spock, nobody knows the rules better than you, but there has got to be an exception." Jim said not wanting to lose one of his best friends.

"None. Such action violates the Prime Directive." Spock answered.

"Shut up, Spock!" Leo yelled out his grip tightening on Sadie, "We're trying to save you, damn it!"

"Doctor, the needs of the many outweighs the needs of the few."

"Spock, we're talking about your life!" Sadie yelled out.

"The rule cannot be broken..." Spock managed to get out before his comms were completed fried.

"Spock!" Jim yelled out before ordering, "Try to get him back online."

"90 seconds to detonations," Sadie read out from her communicator screen.

"If Spock were here and I were there, what would he do?" Jim asked looking at Leo.

"He'd let you die," Leo answered gruffly.

Jim couldn't let that happen, Prime Directive or not, he was going to save Spock's life, the other man deserved that and he couldn't lose a crew member. Soon they were rising out of the sea and heading to towards the volcano, he gave the order and they beamed Spock out of there, Jim and Leo rushing down to the transporter pad to check on the Vulcan.

"Spock!" Jim called out, "You all right?"

"Captain, you let them see our ship," Spock replied simply.

Leo rolled his eyes, "He's fine."

"Bridge to Captain Kirk," Nyota called down to Jim.

"Yes, Lieutenant." Jim answered.

"Is Commander Spock on board, sir?"

"Safely and soundly."

"Please notify him that his device has successfully detonated." Nyota replied throwing down her ear piece. Sadie went over to the younger woman hugging her, Nyota hugged back whispering 'thank you'.

"You hear that? Congratulations, Spock. You just saved the world," Jim smiled.

"You violated the Prime Directive," Spock frowned.

"Oh, come on, Spock. They saw us. Big deal."

~Few Days Later~

Sadie woke up rolling over to look at Leo that was the best thing about being together again; she had missed sleeping in the same bed as him. Being in his arms was the best sleep she could get, being back in his arms was the best.

She laid there watching him for a few minutes until Leo began to stir, without opening his eyes he said, "Darling why must you be watching me this damn early?"

Sadie grinned, "Your eyes aren't open you don't know what time it is."

"Computer time," Leo ordered.

Sadie chuckled as the computer read out, "It is 8:45 a.m."

"Yeah it's damn early," Leo growled out opening his eyes and pinning Sadie to the bed, Sadie smiled as Leo smiled down at her, "I've missed you darling. I'm sorry for everything."

Sadie's smile grew as she kissed Leo, "I'm sorry too, things were hard between us we both made mistakes and we're going to fix it."

Leo nodded kissing her back, "Sounds good. Tonight I'm going to take you out for a nice dinner before we're sent back off to space."

Sadie beamed, "I can't wait."

Then her comm started going off, she sighed, "I need to take that."

Leo shook his head, "No pretend you're still asleep."

"I can't," Sadie replied, "it could be important and I don't wanna get into trouble."

Leo sighed nodding and rolled off of her, Sadie reached and grabbed her comm looking at the message, it was from Chris telling her to meet him in her office in 20 minutes or else.

She sighed, "I gotta get going the old coot wants to see me in 2o minutes."

Leo chuckled, "If he heard you say that."

Sadie grinned, "I call him worse to his face."

Leo shook his head, "Try not to take too long, I do have plans for us."

Sadie smiled, "I'll hurry I promise." She then got out of bed and began gathering clothes to change and cleanup so she could go and meet Chris, wondering what he wanted.

A/N:

And there's chapter one! I hope it was good, I want to start off by Sadie and Leo trying to mend their relationship, but I promise things are going to get messy.

Let me know what everyone thinks I'm really excited to start this story.
