Chapter 3

"What's the deal with your sister?" Jim asked McCoy.

"What do you mean?" Bones replied unsure of what he was going to hear next.

"Is she always like that? Always so angry? She is kind of cute when she's angry though," he told his friend, sitting on a near by desk.

"No, she's not always angry. It's probably you. And get off that desk, it's not a chair," McCoy said walking past him.

"Really? Why would it be me? I just met her. Did you say something to her?" Jim accused his friend.

"No. Maybe it's the fact that most cadets at the academy know how you are with women," McCoy.

"Really?" he asked curiously.

"Yeah, really. Maybe you should try to not sleep with anyone in a skirt," He informed his friend. Bones tried hard to not bring up his sister directly not wanting to give Jim a chance to talk about his sister in ways that would scar him.

It was sometime in the afternoon when Bones and Jim were found winding through the halls of the never ending ship. Occasionally one of them was stopped by a passing officer to answer some question. Eventually they made their way to the officer's mess hall for lunch. Upon entering the hall they grabbed a tray and filled it with food. They searched for a table with suitable company to join. The captain smirked when he found a table and quickly walked over towards it with the doctor in tow.

"Is this seat taken?" He asked slyly to the brunette.

"Yes. It's saved for my brother," She replied when she noticed her brother. Jim looked slightly dejected as he took a seat next to her company, Montgomery Scott. The two new recruits to the table started eating as Emily and Scotty continued on with their conversation.

"And that's when Jim here and this Vulcan from the future showed up. He, obviously not Jim, went on about some formula of mine that I haven't even discovered yet," he told her.

"What is the formula for?" Emily asked when he stopped to take a bite of his sandwich.

"Trans-warp beaming," Scotty replied.

"That's you? Wow," she said astonished at them man's achievement.

"Oh yes, that's me. So anyways, we beamed our selves from that ice cube and made it onto this beauty of a girl. Jim ended up in a fight with Commander Spock; he was acting captain at the time. And Jim here ended up losing to the Vulcan. Probably would have killed the captain if Spock's father hadn't of stepped in," Scotty told. He took another brake from his story to eat more of his sandwich

"I need to meet this Commander Spock fellow," she told Scotty with a laugh.

"You'd be the only one who'd be excited to meet him," Bones told her.

"You don't sound too fond of him," she replied.

"I don't hate, he just annoys me at times. Always don't what's logical and not always what's right," He told her.

"Well, I would love and stay and listen to the rest of the story, but I have to get back to work. I'll see you later," Em announced as she grabbed her tray and left the table.

"It's definitely me," Kirk stated once she was out of the mess hall.

"What's definitely you?" Scotty asked him.

"Every time I talk to her she becomes irate towards me," Kirk explained.

"Maybe you should try that whenever you're around the lass. Be nice," Scotty offered.

"I agree. Don't act like you want to sleep with her. I don't think she likes that," Bones commented.

"And apparently you don't like it either," Jim smirked at his friend.

"Dammit Jim, she's my sister. I don't want you and her continually fighting while we stuck on the enterprise. That's five years of bickering. I don't want to deal with you children," He said.

"Well, I believe I should be heading back down to the engineering. I've still got a few things needing to be sorted before I'm done fer the day. I guess I'll be seeing you boys later," Scotty bid his coworkers as he took his tray with him from the table.

"Captain Kirk, You're needed on the bridge," the captain's communicator urgently squawked.

"Looks like I've got to get to work as well," Jim sighed with defeat.

"I'll join you," McCoy told his friend. They got up and placed their trays in the respected locations and took off towards the bridge. The captain and his associate took their time navigating the halls. The two were surprised with what they saw on the screens when they reached their desired location.

"Sir, it's the USS Explorer. She's just drifting with no lights on," Sulu informed the captain.

"Hail them," the captain ordered.

"We have been trying sir, but our attempts have been unsuccessful," Spock replied.
