Chapter 7:

When I'm With You I'm In A Dream

"Do you ever think,

when you're all alone

all that we could be?

Where this thing could go?

Am I crazy or am I in love?

Is it real or just another crush?"

-"Crush" by David Archuleta

Lyndsey woke up the next morning, feeling like she was in a dream. The memories of last night still lingered in her mind. She remembered all they talked about, and just sitting there, relaxing. She'd needed that, and hadn't realized she'd been that fed up with Jim's antics. He has no idea how much this is hurting me. She thought this as she got up and put on her cadet reds.

She had been brushing her hair when an announcement came over the comm. "All third year cadets, please report for a meeting in five minutes."

Honestly, she didn't know why they'd be calling a meeting, but she pulled on her boots and walked out the door to get an early start. She felt unusually happy today. She waved at people she knew and smiled at everyone, knowing she probably came off as slightly creepy. She couldn't help it, who wouldn't smile if they were in a good mood?

Looking up ahead, she could see Jim and Bones walking toward her. She smiled and walked faster to meet up with them. The moment Jim saw her; he began to linger a bit farther behind. He looked nervous, and she felt bad. She'd rounded on him pretty harshly yesterday. She walked past Leonard and lightly hugged Jim, tightening her grip when he suddenly held her tight and close. "Whatever I did Lynds, I'm sorry!" He whispered desperately. She smiled. "I forgive you, its not important now anyway."

"I thought you hated me."

"Heck no. I'd haunt you if I died." She said with a grin, ruffling his hair. She then turned to Leonard, taking his appearance in with a grin and wrapping her arms around his waist. "Morning darlin'." He murmured, drawl thick. She shivered and he laughed. "Didn't know all I had to do was talk and that would happen to you." She nodded almost dumbly. "Yeah it does. We got a meeting to go to."

He let go. "Yeah, let's go."

They arrived right on time and took a seat as a chime went off.

"This meeting has been called to dissolve a troubling matter. James T. Kirk step forward."

Lyndsey couldn't hold back a smirk and Bones rolled his eyes. Both knew what it had to be. Jim stepped up, looking slightly concerned as the admiralty addressed him.

"I believe I have the right to face by accuser directly."

Lyndsey looked around, see who would accuse him. A Vulcan stood and walked down, introduced as Commander Spock. The Vulcan went on to accuse Jim of cheating. She rolled her eyes as the Vulcan went on but one thing hit home, causing her to run her hand through her hair angrily.

"You of all people should know Cadet Kirk, a captain cannot cheat death."

Swallowing the lump in her throat and the tears forming in her eyes, she sniffed and glared at the back of the Vulcan's head. Her father, Adrian Ambrosi, had died in the line of duty when she was fourteen. The admiral leading the procession then spoke.

"We have received a distress call from Vulcan. All cadets are to report to the hanger for assignments."

She got up and followed Bones down to Jim, who looked absolutely irritated.

"Who was that pointy eared bastard?"

"I don't know, but I like 'im."

She grinned at the exchange, everything seeming fine and back to normal. "That's what I thought. We gotta go guys, the hanger awaits."

Lyndsey, Bones, and Jim stood at attention as they got their assignments.

"Ambrosi, U.S.S Enterprise."

She wanted to cry from happiness. Scott had told her that the Enterprise was being built and she had wanted that ship ever since. He'd told her only the best of the best would be put on the Enterprise. To know she'd been put on one of the best ships in the fleet, that made her want to laugh and cry.

"McCoy, U.S.S Enterprise. Godspeed and good luck."

She grinned as the cadets relaxed and headed to their stations, but Jim looked perplexed. He walked over to a commander, and after a moment frowned. She and Bones walked up to him as they heard the statement. Jim was on suspension until the board ruling.

"Jim the board will rule in your favor. Most likely." Leonard spoke then took Lyndsey's arm. "We gotta go Jim. We'll be late."

Jim turned and shook Bones' hand. "Yeah, be safe." He let go and turned to Lyndsey. "Please be safe." He reached forward and ran a knuckle over her cheek. "I don't….I couldn't bear to lose you Lyndsey." He said softly.

Lyndsey could feel her heart fluttering in her chest. "You too Jim."

They took a few steps before Leo stopped and grumbled. He turned around, grabbed Jim's arm, and walked toward first aid. "C'mon Lynds. Come with me, Jim." They walked to first aid before Jim spoke. "What're you doing?" Lyndsey looked on curiously as well. "I couldn't leave ya there lookin' all pathetic, take a seat. I'm going to give you a vaccine for mudvlarian mud fleas."

"Why?"

"To give you the symptoms. You're gonna start to lose your vision in your left eye. You're also gonna get a mild flop sweat."

Lyndsey grabbed one side of Jim and Leonard the other. "You call this a favor?"

"Yeah, you owe me one."

They were both supporting Jim's body when they arrived at the transport shuttle. The commander checked the roster. "Ambrosi, Lyndsey. McCoy, Leonard. You're both clear for the Enterprise. Kirk, James T. He's not cleared for duty aboard the Enterprise."

Bones growled and spoke. "Medical code states that the treatment and transport of a patient is determined by one's current physician, which is me. So I'm taking Mr. Kirk aboard. Or would you like to explain to Captain Pike why the Enterprise warped into a disaster without two of its senior medical staff members?"

They were finally able to board and Jim shivered the entire way up. Lyndsey grinned. Sometimes it was hard having a friend so allergic to everything. Of course, she had no idea if Bones knew that. She shrugged. She'd put it on for his medical records.

On boarding, Lyndsey and Bones had brought Kirk to sickbay and sedated him. Lyndsey had also been put in charge of technical medicine, making her the resident lab technician. She had been reading over a PADD when she heard a groan and looked up. Jim had sat up, looking around. She grinned. "Glad to see you awake."

She walked over and scanned him with a tri-corder, a hand on his face. "How're you feeling Jimmy?" She asked. He took her wrist. "You haven't called me Jimmy since we were kids, Lynds." She laughed. "Well, I think I have the right." Her sky blue eyes met Jim's electric and it held her in place. He took a piece of her red hair. "I always thought your hair was beautiful." She laughed weakly at his comment. "You always say that."

"But I've never told you I'm jealous."

"Of my hair? Really Jim?"

"No Lyndsey Marie." He moved closer and searched her face. "I'm jealous of how much time Bones is going to be spending with you on this mission." He pressed his forehead to hers and both their eyes closed. He placed his hand on the side of her neck. "I'm jealous of how much time he spent with you at the Academy. I'm sorry Lynds."

"Why are you apologizing?" She asked. He thought for a moment. "Lyndsey, you question me way too much sometimes." He pressed a finger to her lips. "But that's okay. I'd rather you correct me and question me for the rest of my life than be without you."

He then replaced his finger with his lips in a kiss.

A/N: Oh boy. Remember, her fate is up to you. This chapter is a lot longer, but I'm going to use the next part in chapter 8. I'll write it after babysitting tomorrow. Or type it. I'm just too tired to do anything now. Remember, review to help write the story. No flames, criticism to the PM, and feedback is REALLY appreciated.

Lyndsey: I don't understand why you're putting me up to this Rachel.

Me: You. Go back to my mind. You're confused on who you love right now.
