This is for a challenge on and it's basically the 50-sentence challenge, where you have to write one sentence for each of these words. It was difficult but oh so much fun.

I also display my OC Audrey Pearce in these sentences, and her mother Auriana Dooling from my fic On The Edge.

Table II: as we chased the stars from their black, black sky

01. Venture

The venture out in the deep, dark regions of space scared the hell out of McCoy but he couldn' let Jim gallivant around without him around to patch the Captain up.

02. Gravity

Jim had been surprised when he hadn't noticed Audrey at the Academy, because back then he gravitated to anyone who posed to be a difficult catch.

03. Try

No matter how hard Kirk tried, he knew that he would never win over one woman- the elusive Cadet Uhura.

04. Disarm

When Pike took the Romulan phaser and shot the two behind him, Kirk couldn't help but admire that only one person could disarm him- the man he was rescuing.

05. Crisis

Every crisis that the Enterprise got into, the Captain could count on his crew to remain calm and collected, until he got injured and Bones started grumbling about how trouble was attracted to him.

06. Worth

It was until Pike had sat down with him and issued him the challenge to do better than his long dead father did Jim ever realize he was actually worth something- and he would be eternally grateful to Pike for pointing that out.

07. Cheat

James Tiberius Kirk may have cheated on the Kobiyashi Maru but it was his instinct and belief in no win scenarios that had saved the Enterprise numerous times during the fiasco with the Narada.

08. Jealousy

Jim had never experienced a jealous Vulcan until he had hovered over an injured Nyota -which he had politely explained as his Captainly duty and acquiesced his position to Spock, walking away to find his own woman.

09. Wingman

"Jim, I'm a doctor, not a wingman!"

10. Trek

Spock Prime and Kirk's trek through the icy tundra of Delta Vega had proved arduous but somewhat fulfilling as the older Vulcan entailed him with stories of his time, something Kirk was grateful because it took their minds of the biting cold wind.

11. Patience

Audrey hadn't been known for her patience, so when Ensign Friedman kept rambling on about something he had discovered, she proceeded to through her stylus at his head and told him to get to the point- Daniel never rambled on again.

12. Stunt

Captain Kirk may be known for his various dangerous stunts to save his crew, but what Starfleet failed to noticed was his crew would go through the same stunts to save him, time and time again.

13. Bandage

"I honestly don't know what I would do with Bones there to patch me up, Audrey; I honestly think I would have died years ago if it wasn't for him."

14. Quirk

Jim had many quirks, but his crew had many more that he learned about during their mission- maybe him understanding them made him such a great captain- but he would never know for sure.

15. Clasp

He knelt down on one knee, clasping her left hand, his blue eyes meeting hers and said, "Audrey Pearce, will you marry me?"

16. Half

Audrey nodded, tears forming in her eyes when Jim got up to wrap his arms around her- she was the other half of his heart, his soul, his essence and now, now she was going to be officially part of him.

17. Flirt

Kirk was a flirt no matter what he did, on every planet, on more shore leaves than one, so when Nyota asked Audrey how she couldn't be jealous, the half Betazoid replied, "Because at the end of the night he returns to me and that is more than enough for me not to be jealous."

18. Celestial

"I've had to pray on numerous celestial beings above Jim to save you and all you can say is Spock caused it?

19. Respect

Nyota had begrudgingly started to respect Kirk when he had taken over as Captain; he hadn't received the utmost respect until he almost sacrificed himself to save her- and from then on, she trusted him with all she had.

20. Distraction

Audrey had come to her shift one day wearing the Starfleet dress that showed off her lovely legs, and proceed to distract the captain thus making her wear the pants from then on.

21. Collision

It had taken Amanda running into Sarek to make her appreciate Vulcan physiology; it was until later when she really truly began to appreciate the collisions she continued to have with him.

22. Logic

It was beyond even Vulcan logic why he to bail out his senior crew yet again and he had to punish them somehow, judging by the proud looks they boasted- they really had to stop getting into trouble without him.

23. Burden

The burden of not being able to save everyone had carried on throughout Kirk's years, from Tarsus to the Narada to his years on his Enterprise, but that burden was lessened with his friends around, who knew exactly how he felt.

24. Barter

Bones continued to barter with the Ilorian merchant, when Nyota intervened carefully, managing to get her a present for his daughter and Audrey at a reasonable price- he made a mental note to bring her with him more often to translate.

25. Quintessence

Audrey was the quintessential Chief of Intelligence until she took on McCoy's mannerisms and proceeded to be grumpy and scary- when she found out she was pregnant and her staff forgave him, for the time being.

26. Nostalgia

Doctor McCoy stood staring at the memorial erected for his longtime friend, who he managed to outlive when a cadet stood next to him quietly, both of them nostalgic for a time where Kirk was the face of Starfleet and not younger, stupider cadets.

27. Officer

"I'm an officer, a captain before anything else, Admirals and if you have a problem with having a personal life, then so be it- it will not interfere in my professional life though- that much you can be sure of."

28. Commission

When Nyota had heard she had been commissioned on the Farragut, her emotions and her bond with Spock flared with anger, disappointment but when she demanded the Enterprise she could help but feel smug- it felt good to be recognized for her strengths after all.

29. Maverick

Spock may not like to take chances, but when it came to saving the Captain or Nyota, he would jump into the fray like a maverick that his captain had always wanted him to be.

30. Trail

Audrey followed the trail of smells to the doctor's quarters where he held two plates, each one plated with her recent cravings and almost wept in joy- she was so happy someone on this ship could cook collard greens and pecan pie.

31. Bicker

Audrey, Christine and Nyota started holding viewings of the daily bickering of Jim and McCoy and thoroughly enjoyed the show even though Audrey was still a little envious that the doctor still held most of Jim's trust.

32. Meld

Nyota and Audrey had experience melds many times, one because of her bond, the other because of her empathy, but McCoy was not privy to them, yet he couldn't help but wonder what they felt like.

33. Match

When Jim and Audrey ended up in his sickbay yet again, McCoy could help but grumble affectionately how much of a match made in heaven these two were, even when they were bickering about who caused the last fight- that's when the hyposprays came in handy.

34. Tame

Nyota had heard around the ship that McCoy would never be tamed again, that he was to brash and thoughtless, but she had seen the looks the doctor threw Chapel's way, and she knew that not all hope was lost for gruff doctor.

35. Back

Audrey learned never to turn her back on any enemy early on, then she learned never to turn her back even if a Vulcan was there, because McCoy would never let her live it down that a Vulcan saved "Miss Independent."

36. Frontier

Space and the future, one altered by Nero, was a new, wonderful and frightful frontier, but the Enterprise grasped it lovingly because it was meant to be.

37. Scathe

The burn of Nyota's rejection stayed with Jim throughout the years, her scathing remarks about him being captain burned more yet she would go after him in a heartbeat- and that made her even more confusing.

38. Wreckage

The wreck of his childhood had kept his thoughts away from parenthood but his absolutely thrill and joy came through the minute Audrey told him she was pregnant; he vowed right then and there his kid would not live what he did.

39. Dust

Pike blew the dust of his desk, something that hadn't been used in weeks as he stared lovingly at the picture adorned on his desk of him giving Audrey away at her wedding, filling him with fatherly pride-only because she was the reason dust was on his desk in the first place.

40. Renewal

Winona renewed her vows in her mind every year on the anniversary of her and George's wedding, to remind her of the love that could be found, until a certain Admiral came and proved to her love still existed.

41. Pace

"You do know that pacing does not help that patient," Bones said, getting glared in return, "That just makes both men NOT want to wake up and face your wrath."

42. Assurance

Audrey had cried out the first time she felt Jim's life signature falter in his mind, so when Nyota felt the same with Spock, she tried her best to assure Nyota that all would be well, even if she didn't believe it herself.

43. Wanderlust

Scotty could never focus on one thing at a time, he was always bustling about fixing this and that, and of course making himself sandwiches as he went.

44. Ale

After ending up in the brig one night after drinking too much Romulan ale, Kirk had banned the atrocious drink from the ship for a year.

45. Entwined

Their destinies were to be forever entwined with each other, no matter what universe, no matter what time, every universe knew that this crew belonged together and it would right itself to do so every time.

46. Ferocity

When the women on the ship were engrossed in the jobs and what they were doing, the men learned to stay away when their ferocity scared them the first time.

47. Far

The new couldn't be farther from the truth reporting on the disappearance of Kodos, but only the crew of the Enterprise knew what truly happened and were relieved when Kirk appeared on the screen to set the record straight.

48. Other

"I have the utmost faith in you, Jim, considering there is no one else in this universe that could have pulled off what you did, and you truly are meant to be Captain."

49. Orbit

The bridge breathed a sigh of relief when they saw themselves orbiting Earth again, knowing that for now it was safe – and they had something to do with it- so they couldn't stop the smiles from appearing when they saw the beautiful planet.

50. Enterprise

The minute Jim stepped on the bridge of the Enterprise as its captain, he couldn't help but send a grateful prayer to Pike who had helped him become who he was right now- a hero.
