I wish Star Trek was mine, but it isn't.
Now, this is just what I think it would be like to Mind Meld. If there is a scene in an episode of Enterprise, or something where they actually show you what it's like in a Mind Meld, forget that for a minute this is just MY take on it, Enjoy!
Okay, I LOVED writing this chapter, T' Pell finds out something dark about Spock's past.
Chapter 13: Meld
"T' Pell, what's happened? Where is T' Pin? Where are we?" Spock had a million questions and not nearly enough time to ask them all.
"Spock, I've melded with someone before. This is only the beginning. Your Katra is in my head. You are talking to my Katra, not me." T' Pell said looking around at the beautiful scenery.
"If we are currently inside your mind, how can we be in a forest? There aren't any forests on Vulcan." Spock said breathing the cool autumn air so unlike that of Vulcans.
"When I was young, my father took me on a trip to Gamma XII. We stayed in a cabin in the woods and it was my favorite place to be. Whenever I am meditating I go there in my mind. I assume that since this is the place I am the most at peace, this will be where our actions take place." T' Pell said.
"Are we wasting time? My mother is in danger." Spock protested.
"Every hour we spend in here is equivalent to a millisecond in real time." T' Pell said looking him in the eye, getting slightly annoyed at his constant questioning her.
"So our bodies are still on Vulcan and with T' Pin?" Spock questioned.
"As are we. This is all simulated by my mind. I can make you think we're on Saturn if I wished to, but mind melds are slightly different, we must each deal with a memory, an uncomfortable memory." T' Pell said
All of a sudden Spock saw a young T' Pell climbing one of the taller trees. As she climbed Spock could here yelling, a man and a woman in a heated argument. It was coming from a cabin. When Spock looked at young T' Pell again he noticed she was crying.
'My parents' said T' Pell. 'They're fighting again.' Spock looked up the tree to find little T' Pell had stopped climbing and was now sitting on a branch, humming with her hands over her ears, trying desperately to drown out the horrifying sound that was her parents fight. The scene changed, the Forrest faded.
Spock saw his house regenerate around him. He heard talking coming from the living room and walked into it. He saw himself talking to T' Pin, right after T' Pell had left, the previous day. Spock saw himself take T' Pin by the shoulders and stand her up. Realizing what T' Pell was about to witness, the only time he'll admit it, he panicked.
"T' Pell, it's not what you think it is, my actions were based solely on the fact that if the pain would not have subsided, if the Pon Farr was not attended to we surely could have died!" Past T' Pin moved her hand down past Spock's and extended her first finger and middle finger. She moved her hand down his to his wrist, then back up again. T' Pell had a blank expression, but Spock could almost hear the anger boiling beneath the surface.
"I understand completely." T' Pell said staring at past Spock, and the way he shivered at T' Pin's touch.
Her best friend then wrapped her hand around Spock's and kissed his check. T' Pell breathed slowly and deeply. How could she, her best friend in the world betray her in this way? Go behind her back with her other best friend. She couldn't blame Spock, it wasn't his fault, the Plak Tow had obviously disturbed his logic. Then she went in for another kiss, but Spock backed away and the scene faded in a swirl of color. Then Spock's house came back together around them, Spock and T' Pin were now on the davenport.
Spock reached out and touched T' Pin's cheek. Then grabbing the back of her head, he pulled her into a kiss. It was passionate, a little too passionate. T' Pell vomited in her mouth slightly, immediately swallowing it back. T' Pin moved her hand to the back of Spock's head while he found her back. Spock released only to move his lips to her neck and T' Pell turned away.
"I've seen enough." the scene faded around them.
