Jump So High

"Bones! Duck!" Jim, my brother from Earth, pushed a young man a little older than him out of the way of a phaser's bullet. I sighed, and leaped out of the tree I'd been perched in for the past five or ten minutes. Jim seemed to notice my shadow as I spun in the air and landed in a crouch in front of the landing party. "Nelly!"

"Yo, Bro." I placed my forefinger and middle finger together and saluted him. Bones looked at me, aghast. I smiled and stood, my black hair swaying with the movement. I prepared to do a perfect handstand to give the enemy Klingons a spinning kick and jumped into the air again. I jumped pretty high, so high I could almost see over the trees. The Klingons were surprised when I landed on my hands and immediately spun, like as if I was doingbreak dancing. Jim yelled in triumph. "When I say jump, you say how high. I ain't never seen anyone nobody get so high."

"Wow, Nelly. Glad you came to us and we didn't have to come to you." Jim clapped my back.

"You're just happy I saved your butt, James Tiberius Kirk." I snapped, dusting my Converse off. Bones was still sitting on the ground, exhausted. "Here ya go." I helped him up and shook his hand. "I'm Jim's sister, Natallia "Nelly" Kirk."

"Leonard H. McCoy, but call me Leo, McCoy, or Bones." He smiled in a gentlemanly manner before glaring at my brother. "I coulda ducked myself, Jim."

"Sorry, Bones." Jim shrugged. "I didn't expect my sister to intervene the situation."

"I'm slapping you so hard you reach Naltar, which is on the other side of this planet, Jim." I snapped at him again and pointed accusingly at him. "The only reason I'd do that was for what you did to my best friend. She was heartbroken, womanizer."

"Oh, Liza. Whoops. I'm guessing she kept the child?" I noticed a flicker of curiosity and, dare I say this for what my brother, a womanizer, a small fleck of love dart across his eyes. So he does love her. Liza told me she'll either kill him if he doesn't accept the child or, if he does, she'd ask him the most important question in history. She had the ring and everything already.

"Yes, she kept the child. Do you want to see her and hope she doesn't kill you in front of James?" I asked, sighing.

"James? Why'd she name him James? What's his full name?" Jim asked question after question quickly.

"Her name is yours, which makes you senior if Liza shares your emotions, bro." I replied, walking off with Bones by my side.

"Her name is mine? I'm a senior? Holy cow!" Jim seemed the happiest I've ever seen him in my life with him. Although he's twenty-five, I knew a lot about him before mom told me anything.

"Well, that's interesting. How can you jump that high, Ms. Natallia? I've never, ever seen go that high in my life." Bones asked.

"I'm used to pole-vaulting. I used to me the only one that always made it over the top without touching the pole and landed on the mat with my vaulting-pole in my hands." I smiled and turned so I was walking backwards. "Then I taught my students my secret and only one, my oldest student who's taking over since I'm coming with you guys, can make it like I can."

"That jump so high, wow." Bones commented. I smiled wider, I'm going to like working for Leonard H. McCoy on the Enterprise, that's definite.
