Thank you to everyone who reviewed, this is for you.

While docked at the space station in orbit around Earth getting the supplies that needed transport to New Vulcan nothing really exciting happened. I signed the necessary papers, we got the supplies we needed and soon we were on our way, after being there for only a little over 4 hours.

Finally back in my Captains chair I told Sulu to plot a course straight to New Vulcan and he quickly replied with an "aye, Sir!"

"Alright," I said "We have about two days until we reach New Vulcan, so I suggest you spend it resting up, cause after we will have mission after mission with not much rest. Sulu, you have the conn." I said as I sat up from my chair getting ready to head to the cafeteria to grab something to eat, when I was stopped by a certain voice grabbing my attention.

"Captain, may I have a word?" Spock said as he approached me heading into the trubolift along side me.

"Sure, Spock. No problem." I said as the lift doors closed and I pressed the button to head towards the cafeteria.

I had no clue what the Half-Vulcan wanted to talk to me about and I was getting pretty nervous being alone with him.

"Captain," he started to say but I quickly corrected him.

"Spock, call me Jim when we aren't on duty."

"Jim," he corrected, which caused my heart to flutter a little, this was getting pretty bad if that was the reaction I got from only hearing him say my name.

"I wanted to ask you about what occurred while you were marooned on Delta Vega, and why your attitude has changed when you are conversing with me after the incident."

As he said this I blanched, where did this question even come from? How can I tell him about his other…him! I can't tell him anything, and I guess he even noticed I have acting different around him if he feels he needs to ask me about it. What am I going to do? I decided that I needed to try and avoid the question so I quickly started walking towards the cafeteria to try and find some way to distract Spock.

"Uh, Spock…I -I um…" I stammered as I tried to come up with a suitable way out of his question when we finally arrived at my destination.

"Perhaps, we should head somewhere more private," he said as he scanned the cafeteria area, which seemed oddly full right now.

"Um, yeah, lets head to my room." I said, I guess I wont get out of it. Damn.

Once we arrived to my room, we stood in an awkward silence for a few moments while I stood fidgeting and Spock stood ramrod straight with his hands held behind his back in his typical pose, which I oddly found cute. Wait! Stop! Not now!

I decided to make it a little less awkward and headed to the replicator that I had in my room; everything is better with food. I decided on making a nice cheeseburger, I looked at Spock and was about to ask if he wanted any when he silently refused with a simple hand gesture.

Spock finally broke the growing silence by saying, "Jim, if you feel you cannot divulge certain information about the incident to me for some reason I should perhaps let you know that I do indeed know about my alternate self."

"What?!' I practically yelled almost startling Spock and completely forgetting my cheeseburger. "What- How do you know? How can you know?"

"After, the whole incident with Nero was finished I was approached by my other self and we had a conversation in which he convinced me to remain in Starfleet." Spock calmly replied.

"So, he lied to me? The universe won't explode if you know? Wait, what? You were going to leave Starfleet?" I asked.

"Yes, that was my original plan until I was convinced otherwise. It seemed only logical, with the Vulcan race seemingly near extinction I would be needed to help rebuild my race." He stated.

"Oh," was my eloquent reply "Well, I'm glad you stayed."

"Thank you Jim, as am I." he replied causing me to blush slightly.

This is when the second awkward silence started, it seemed to last longer than the first so I decided I would be the one to break it. "So, you, the other you I mean lied to me when he said I couldn't tell you about him?"

"Yes, it would seem he did, which I find highly disconcerting seeing as Vulcan's do not lie, it goes against all logic."

And here was the third awkward silence of the night. But it seemed to be quite short because Spock really wanted to know what happened on that planet.

"Jim, I would greatly appreciate it, if you would explain what happened on Delta Vega." He said.

"Oh, ok. Well um…" I started to say, trying to remember what happened "I was being chased by this monster beast thingy and I ran into a cave where the other you was camping out and he scared the beast off with some fire. He then told me how he was you, and I was all 'bullshit.' and then did this mind thingy with me—"

I was quickly cut off when Spock asked "He preformed a mind meld with you?" seeming a bit angry.

"Well, um, yeah. He said it was the quickest and easiest way for him to tell me what he knew so that I could defeat Nero." I replied a bit nervously.

That didn't seem to calm him down any "Jim, a mind meld is a highly personal experience and it should never be taken lightly, he committed a highly inappropriate act against you." He stated.

"Oh…really? It didn't seem that bad. I mean, he kind of had to. We needed to be quick and he said it was the only way."

"I find it highly irresponsible that he intruded upon your mind in such a manner. With a mind meld, nothing is secret, he had full access to your mind, Jim" Spock said still quite angry. He said my name with such intensity I found it hard to concentrate.

"So, uh, he could see everything in my mind?" I stuttered trying to recover from hearing my first name. This was getting pathetic.

"Yes, and you had access to his, but given your lack of knowledge on the subject of telepathy I doubt you saw much, unless he unintentionally left certain memories inside your mind. I find this highly doubtful, however, considering his great age and obvious wisdom and expertise."

"Oh." Was all I said. I think I found my answers regarding the dreams though. Were those the other Spock's memories? And if they were, did that mean that he had a relationship with his alternate self? All of this info was giving me a headache.

"Jim, do you think he may have accidentally transferred any memories into your mind?" Spock asked.

Oh shit! What do I tell him? Should I lie? "Um, no I don't think he did Spock…" I lied,

"You know, I'm pretty beat. I think I need to catch up on some sleep, do you think we could finish this later?"

"Of course Captain," he said, but he saw me start to correct him and beat me to it, correcting himself "Jim."

With that, Spock left my room, leaving me with a shit load of stuff to think about. Did the other Spock lie to me? Were these feelings even mine? Did I want these feelings to be mine? I'm so confused.

I was in for a rough night. And only one person, well Half-Vulcan could help me find the answers I needed, and he was about 2 days away. Yeah, Spock had a little bit of explaining to do.
