She swore that it was her older brother, but why would he be here in San Francisco? Almost every time she had seen their mother bring it up with him, he had made it clear that he did not want to follow in his late father's footsteps. The man wasn't turning around, so the only way to figure out if was in fact Jim Kirk, was if Griffin went up there and asked him herself./p
p data-p-id="a8cd0e025d970b65b6fa7c0c46c6c403"With the fact that this could be a way that she could greatly embarrass herself within two minutes of actually being at the academy, she went up and tapped the man on the back./p
p data-p-id="1d5d1cfe225d37e09b8a4516de09b118"The face of Jim Kirk turned around to see what was poking him, looking annoyed for a split second, and then broke into a grin once he saw Who it was. "Hey Griff! I had been wondering if I would run into you here."/p
p data-p-id="ba0eb1c4513e026ec20f360f09c3ebc6"She nodded "What are you doing here? Last I checked Starfleet wasn't in your career plans."/p
p data-p-id="79c9fcc08394a58abecfd18bde6e4420"He shrugged "People can change. Do you happen to know where the main building is? I still need to register for my classes."/p
p data-p-id="be5e92a2fb07eca9ddb47700fb5da0ce"Griffin started to pull the campus map out from her backpack when a new voice chimed in, "Its over there" said the man that was walking next to Jim, while pointing at a tall building to the left. Griffin looked over at him. It was the same man who refused to sit in his seat back in Iowa./p
p data-p-id="41397672d56c6af9816cb15c231574bf""Would you happen to know where the Roddenberry dorms are?" She asked him/p

p data-p-id="73db5caa0eb5161d6ad253224ce41043"" Thanks!" She shouted as she ran off, dragging her bags behind her./p

p data-p-id="590c16e104c6b7c5a0a10d5e57ce234f""Hi!" Smiled the woman jumping off the bed "My names Shatharissa Sh'zitral, but you can call me Rissa for short. Nice to meet you!" She said sticking her hand out./p

An hour later, the once barren dorm had been transformed into an actual room. Griffin's clothes, as well as the three provided uniforms were in the closet. Her books and school supplies were on the desk. The purple quilt that she had in her room in Iowa was on the bed, her Doctor Who and Avengers posters on the wall. Looking at the clock, she realized it was time for dinner./p
