Hello! First off, I just wanted to say thank you to everybody who has read this. You guys all mean a lot. Special thanks to all who have liked/favorite/subscribed/reviewed, because if it wasn't for you guys, I probably would have given up on Accidentally in Love. Anyhows, time to answer reviews! ALSO! Stay tuned at the end of the chapter for a very important announcement!

Katiesgotagun: I'm glad you enjoyed! Stay tuned for more adorableness!

NightShadeMoon: Aw, golly gee, y'all flatter me far too much! Pavel is probably the cutest thing ever, I agree with you there. Thanks for all of the support on my writing, I very much appreciate it.

The Sorceresses' Apprentice: Yay! I love making people laugh. And without further ado, here's another update!

Vienna King was just waking up from the best sleep she'd ever had, so her mind wasn't in its prime condition. But she was pretty sure that she wasn't in her room. For one thing, her room didn't smell strangely like a mountaintop, and her bed didn't usually move in a breathing pattern, and her blanket never cuddled with her.

Curious, she opened her sea green eyes to see her best friend. Vienna wasn't quite sure how to feel about waking up in his arms, mostly because she was starting to feel some feelings that she shouldn't be feeling because said feelings didn't exist and therefore couldn't be felt (if that made any sense), but she decided to wait until Pavel woke up before she made any irrational decisions. Geez, she was a mess. Not wanting to wake him up, she gave him a once over with her eyes.

His curly hair was falling this way and that, and it looked, for lack of better words, frickin' adorable. Not in that I-have-a-thing-for-you adorable, definitely not, but in that fluffy teddy bear sort of way. His pale pink lips were slightly parted as he breathed in and out, and – stop it Vienna King, look somewhere else right now – his room was very clean and tidy. Carefully untangling herself from her best friend's grip, she tip toed to his bathroom.

She raised her eyebrows at her reflection challengingly. "Okay hair, time to meet your match." She muttered, picking up the hair brush she always kept in Pavel and Hikaru's bathroom and preparing herself for battle. Her blondish brownish hair was really tangled, and it wasn't known for its kindness in mornings.

After a good ten minutes of brushing, Vienna's hair had returned to its normal, straight, hip length self. She smiled and glanced at herself in the mirror. At least she didn't look indecent. She was wearing her favorite blue t-shirt that was, in fact, Pavel's. Vienna had remembered the shock on his face when she announced to him that she would be stealing his shirt, and that reason alone had been enough incentive to never give it back. Her black yoga pants however, were hers, so it shouldn't look too weird for her to be coming out of Pavel's room.

Besides, most of the crew knew about how close the two were anyways, so it wasn't as if it would be questioned too much, but the young woman still had a bad feeling. Shaking off the feeling, Vienna took one last fond look at her sleeping best friend and walked out the door. She walked all the way across the hall into the elevator when her premonition came true. Hikaru Sulu had decided to walk into the lift at that precise moment, and Vienna could tell from the evil grin slowly spreading on his face that he knew and she wasn't getting away with anything. Crap.

"So." He said, in a deceptively friendly tone, "Do you want to tell me why you weren't sleeping in your bed last night, Miss. King?"

Vienna could feel her face flush. "It's not a big deal, Karu."

Hikaru smiled. "Does he know yet?"

Now the young girl was just plain confused. "Know about what?"

"That you're totally in love with him."

"What?!" Vienna shrieked, hitting the stop button so she could face him. "I'm not in love with Pavel!"

The man simply crossed his arms. "Uh-huh. Why did you sleep in his bed last night?"

"We were talking after the party and fell asleep, that's all!" Vienna exclaimed. She knew that telling the truth would get her nowhere when Hikaru had his mind set on something.

Hikaru shrugged. "That's not all, I can tell."

"Then why did you ask me?"

"Because the truth is that it doesn't matter how you ended up falling asleep on the guy." The Asian man explained, delighting in the shocked look on Vienna's face as she realized that she was asleep on Pav. "What matters is that you're in love with him, he's in love with you, and neither of you are doing anything about it." And Kirk is starting to get antsy, he silently added, not wanting to make it worse.

"I- What- He's not- Hikaru!" Vienna said, struggling for words. "Pavel is my best friend; I'm Pavel's best friend. We are not in love with each other, so we will not do anything about anything! So just drop it!" She snapped, losing her temper and slamming back down on the stop button so that the elevator would continue. Vienna wasn't angry at Hikaru. The woman was just tired of people claiming that she had secret feelings for Pavel. She didn't! Besides, if she did, people should just let her do things on her own.

Okay, so, it was mostly Hikaru who pestered Vienna about her so called 'feelings' for the Russian. Nyota would talk about it, but would never pester her. But all the same, she had had it with the ridiculous notion. The door hissed open and Vienna stormed out of the elevator, leaving a snickering Hikaru behind her. After punching in the key code to her room five times (the stupid computer just didn't like her, Vienna concluded) she calmly closed her door and turned around to bang her head on it when her PADD made a light ding sound.

Vienna glared at it when it simply wouldn't stop dinging. Frustrated, she gave in and walked towards the device.

Alarm: Work shift begins in one hour.

Vienna's eyes widened. It was a good thing she woke up when she did, otherwise she would have been late for work. Scotty would have killed her. Turning off the alarm and running to her bathroom, Vienna took a five minute shower and hurried herself to blow dry her long hair. Without worrying about how she looked, the woman took her hair and flung it into a pony tail and pulled on her work clothes; a black tank top, black pants and a red shirt. Pulling on her socks and boots took her longer than expected due to her hurry, but she had ten minutes to spare to run down to Engineering, and run she did.

Jumping over carts being pushed by startled yeomen, pushing past drowsy ensigns and hurtling around angry but amused looking lieutenants was, oddly enough, extremely calming for Vienna. She was like Pavel in that way. That was their thing when they first met, running. Sometimes they liked to study, quiz each other on nuclear astrophysics, maybe even go out for ice cream, but mostly they liked to run. In the mornings during their academy days, at the crack of dawn, it was always a 10 mile run with Sulu.

Those were the days, Vienna thought, when everything was so simple.

Hello! Did you like it? I'm still not sure if I liked it or not honestly. I wrote most of this while I was really sick, but I finished it today because I wanted one out before the New Year. Anyhow, the big announcement! *drumroll* I'm writing a new story! (But Leslie, you're already in the middle of a story, and this one is actually being read by people!) Yes, I know, but I have to have something to do when I have writers block on this one, don't I? Anyway, I'm doing some major editing at this moment so chapter one won't be posted for another few days. I really like it, and I hope you'll like it too. I'm still working on a name and summary for it, but I'll tell you it's an Avengers story, and that's all I'm gonna tell you. But never fear, this doesn't mean I'm abandoning Accidentally in Love. In fact, I don't think I'm even close to the ending at all. Anyhow. On a side note, I'm sorry there wasn't any Pavel in this one, but there just wasn't a way to work him in this chapter.

Please review! Tell me what you liked, what you didn't, so on and so forth. Happy New Year!

Much love!
