Artemis Montgomery stared dumbfounded at what was around him. The walls and tools and monitors and papers of his laboratory glared back His eyes were wide, his mouth was slack-jawed. Not a moment early had he been with Orion in the future. And then that blasted light which dragged him back here What the hell had happened? Why was it just him? How was Orion? What went wrong? The young man's mind raced with so many unanswered questions. Questions that would never be answered in his meager lifetime.

Author's note:

This was more of a just a little snippet that I thought might have been nice to add just because I felt like it. Also it allows me to have a nice AN chat with you all

I thank all of those who have reviewed. It means much to me that you would take the extra minute to just say how much you liked the reviews have often brightened my day significantly. So I thank you again.

Also, I'm still unsure where exactly I'm going to take this story, so please be patient. I must ask for some margins and pardons for mistakes and OOCness because half the time I write, I am very tired or just wanting to do something to occupy my mind.

I am still in need of input with the pairing(as I totally don't care. I can see Orion with either one). There is only so much more I can write until I can make any romantic advances from either party.

Current Standings:

James Tiberius Kirk- 3

Leonard "Bones" McCoy- 2

Preview of Next Chapter:

The same old Kirk that she had been expecting the whole time. Orion glared at him. She was not amused at being called a lady. Call it childish, but Orion was really only lady in gender and a few other things. Other than that, she didn't really see herself as a lady.

She rolled her eyes as he chuckled. "Don't you have, oh I don't know, work to do elsewhere on this ship?" Orion asked with a bit of ice and a bit of sarcasm. Of course he did, so why he was wasting precious working time, delivering something that he could have had another deliver confused Orion.

Jim stared at her, almost as if she had shot him. He was not used to hearing those kind of statements from someone with breasts. In fact, the captain thought that Bones had temporarily inhabited the woman. "Why yes, yes I do. But I'll get to when I want to," he said with a small pout.. But he had a plan. Oh yes, James T. Kirk had a plan.

Orion raised an eyebrow. "Since when did you become a seven year old child?" she snipped, crossing her arms and sitting up on the bed.

The captain shrugged. "You're a genius, you tell me," he said before sitting down in a chair. Orion glared at him. It was more like the look he was used to getting from Bones when he was acting particularly childish. If Jim didn't know any better he would have sworn that Orion was actually an ancestor to the grumpy doctor.

"I have every right to act as I please...being captain and all," he said while looking at his fingernails. The very picture of a rebellious child who was bored with the lecturing.

"Are you trying to piss me off with your arrogance and in general your pride?" Orion asked exasperatedly as she rose from the bed and stood by a window.
