Bones had been right when trying to find the captains quarters for the first time it was a little bit like a maze, Emmy thought to herself as they were walking.
'See that door at the end?' Bones asked as we were heading down a dead end corridor.
Emmy nodded yes.
'Thats the captain's room.' Bones said and Emmy felt the nervousness that had been in her stomach all day sear up and clench in her chest, Emmy slowed her pace and just hoping Bones wouldn't notice.
Luck just wasn't on her side, because sadly he noticed.
'Why are you slowing down?' Bones asked with an amused expression, that Emmy just wanted to knock off his face when the smirk began to form on his lips.
'What do you mean? I'm not slowing down.' Emmy said trying to play it off like he was crazy, which he could be dhe hadn't made up her mind on that just yet.
'You're nervous, aren't you?' Bones asked suddenly serious
'No...I don't know...maybe... No I'm not nervous.' Emmy replied finally deciding on her answer.
Emmy wasn't lying either because she wasn't nervous.
Emmy was terrified and she didn't fully understand why.
The only thing that came to mind was how tight all of the bridge crew was with one another.
Though Emmy had interacted with all of the bridge crew, save Scotty, she'd never been with them all at the same time.
Would they spend the night telling stories they'd all been involved in and lived threw?
Would they spend the night with inside jokes that Emmy didn't understand?
At the end of the night would she wish that she had taken the option of transferring? Because she felt more alone then ever?
'Come on kid, you'll do fine' Bones said patting her pack in an attempt to be comforting but it just came out rather awkward in Emmy's opinion.
Forcing a smile knowing there was no immediate way out of this Emmy nodded and quickened her pace.
Bones turned suddenly right before the door and faced her, without ringing the bell.
'Look if it goes badly just let me know that you want out and I'll fake a medical emergency or something. Okay?' Bones questioned quietly as though everyone inside the room could hear them.
Emmy nodded slightly less terrified.
'Good let's get this night going' Bones said pressing the door's buzzer.
'Emmy, Bones you made it great now the party can begin.' Jim said gesturing them inside his quarters.
Emmy walked threw hesitantly relaxing slightly when she saw Kat making a bee line for her.
'Emmy your here, finally!' Kat began loudly while giving her a hug which she returned
'He's been driving me crazy.' Kat whispered in her ear
'Jim does seem excited' Emmy said
'Jim?' Kat questioned
'Oh hunny Jim hasn't been driving me crazy Spock has.' Kat said with a laugh tilting her head to the corner where Spock was standing talking to Scotty while watching her.
'Oh, how do you mean?' Emmy questioned
'Spock was asking where you and Bones were, mostly just you though, and going on if he should have escorted you here it got worse the closer to the party time it became' Kat said with a secret smile that screamed ' my mission is going so well'
'Spock was just being a concerned Commander..' Emmy replied trying to sound level headed like she wasn't screaming like a school girl on the inside.
Kat just gave her a knowing look before dragging by her arm further inside the captains quarters beginning Emmy's first party with the popular kids of the enterprise.
Emmy wasn't sure where the time went but the next time she looked at the clock it was 2 am. She didn't know where the time had gone.
But suddenly knowing the time and the fact she had to be up for alpha shift in the morning, all of her energy left and she felt more tired than she could ever remember being in her life.
'Well guys, I think I'm gonna head to bed.' Emmy said with a yawn
'Me too, I just didn't want to be the first to say it.' Kat said with a laugh smiling widely.
'I'll escort you back to your quarter, Nurse Marshall.' Spock said, surprising Emmy greatly
Spock hadn't spoken to Emmy all night, although she had felt his eyes on her at times no words had been exchanged.
Emmy just nodded, not exactly sure what to say to his offer.
'Thank you for walking me back Commander' Emmy said not knowing what else to say.
'Nurse Marshall, when alone as we are now, you may call me Spock.' Spock said evenly without aknoweloging the surprised look on Emmys face.
'Okay...Spock' Emmy said testing his name on her tounge with a small smile.
'Spock you can call me Emmy if you'd like' Emmy said back before blushing like mad.
'Rest well Emmy' Spock said after a moment, before turing to leave.
