I do not own Star Trek in any way shape or form!
I do however, own T' Pin and T' Pell. They are mine. Mwa-ha-ha.
Again, sorry I haven't updated in so long, I've been busy writing another Fic...YAY!
Chapter 16: Information
When Spock saw Dovetown reappear around him he prepared himself for the emotional roller coaster that was soon to come. In order to find his mother he would need to separate from his best friends, he didn't like the idea of them being by themselves, with a crazed kidnapper at large, but it was a necessary risk.
"T' Pell," T' Pin addressed her friend, while holding her own hand out to her face. T' Pell nodded and T' Pin pressed her fingertips onto her face. Then after about a second and a half, she put her hand down.
"It is done." T' Pell said a bit coldly.
"Now, we must go into town and find the three different libraries. Then we'll split up and whoever has the correct library will signal the others. In the event that one of us is captured, they will signal for help. Agreed?" Spock said being extremely careful in his wording and enunciation, not wanting to anger either of them. They both nodded.
So they walked. For maybe twenty minutes in total silence. After this time T' Pell broke the silence.
"How far into the mating ritual did you two proceed?" T' Pell asked. Spock found this question interesting. Why did she care so much?
"Let me just say, both of us still have the blood fever." T' Pin said trying not to blush as she did so.
T' Pell didn't like being nosy or want to feel jealous, but she couldn't help it. She had even told T' Pin of her interest in Spock, since the second grade Then she just stomps all over that trust? But she must remember that they were acting instinctively not logically. Now came the hard part.
"So if you two aren't rid of it, and you can't get to your proper places in time…."
"We will most certainly die." Spock said wiping off the sweat from his palms onto his pants.
"Well, why didn't you two bond? I'm not attempting to be intrusive but, it would be beneficial to your safety if the process was completed." T' Pell said shyly.
"We were trying to keep the groups best interests in mind, not just our own. We never wished to hurt you." T' Pin said walking between her two best friends. They had finally gotten to the end of the dirt road and they could see where concrete was laid not far ahead.
"We must be getting close." Spock said noticing the plant life starting to increase as they neared one of Vulcans largest cities.
"As soon as we get in the city, we should find a map, or a public office that may know the location of the libraries." T' Pin said becoming extremely overheated from a combination of the hot Vulcan sun, length of time they have spent walking and the fever.
They passed through an arch that was sprawled out over the road and read 'Welcome All.' in Vulcan. As they passed through the arch the city was revealed. Looking about the courtyard, Spock realized that Vulcans weren't the only ones inhabiting the city. There were Klingons, Romulans, Humans, Orions, Andorians. If you called out a planets name, there would probably be someone to represent it there. In the middle of the square they spotted a circular booth, which said information above it. Spock pointed to it and the trio walked to the center of the crowded square.
"Can I help you?" a stout blonde human asked from behind the glass window, her glasses sliding down the bridge of her nose.
"We would like to visit the three libraries in town; could you give us directions, or better yet a map of how to get there?" T' Pin asked urgency in her voice. She heard it in her own voice a little too late; her emotions were starting to take control.
"I believe I have a map somewhere in the back." The woman said turning around and looking through some boxes as she talked. "Ha, here it is." she said triumphantly holding up the map and handing it to Spock. "Have a good day, and Welcome to Dovetown." the clerk said while raising her hand and making the Vulcan salute. All three made the gesture back. T' Pell stepped out of the way to let other people get at the booth, Spock and T' Pin soon followed suit. She opened the pamphlet the attendant had given them, and easily found the three libraries labeled with blue books on the map. "Here, here and here." she said pointing out the locations. "I' ll take the one on Main St."
"I shall take the one on Surak lane." Spock said "That leaves T' Pin with the Kelley Memorial Library on 7th Ave."
"Until we meet again." T' Pin said to two of the only people left on the planet she truly loved. She turned and walked towards 7th Avenue.
