What Could Have Happened Part 3
When Nyota awoke, she kept her eyes closed for several seconds. She breathed deeply, wishing with all her heart that when she woke up things would be normal again. Taking one final breath she opened her eyes and moved her hand in front of her. It was still pale colored and larger than usual. Sighing, she closed her eyes and then slid out of bed. She was still in Spock's body. She sat on the edge of the bed, and placed her head in her hands, massaging her temples. She was suddenly bombarded by the emotions which she had felt right before going to sleep: guilt, sadness, misery, and frustration. The only emotion which she did not feel was anger, all her anger was gone. She couldn't be angry with Spock for something which he had not meant to happen, and if anything her actions had been worse than his. Her actions now seemed cruel and unfair, which they were she realized.
Nyota massaged her eyes, she had managed to deal an incredible insult to the one man who she privately thought was incredibly intelligent and who she wished to become friends with. Somehow she would have to make things up to him, and soon. Sighing, she stood up and walked over to the shower. She slipped in and let the hot water flow over her, she had to raise the heat of the water much higher than usual seeing as Vulcan's has hotter blood. When she stepped out again she was feeling better, if not good, at least determined. She quickly dressed; she had gotten over the shock of having a man's body yesterday. When she was done she checked the time, it was 0645 hours.
Grabbing a PADD she exited the room, making her way towards her own dorm. She had to talk to Spock, immediately. The corridors were mainly empty at this time of day, and she realized that if she wanted to make it up to Spock she needed to stop acting like herself and instead act like a Vulcan. Whenever she passed someone she merely nodded, and continued on her way.
Spock awoke to find that he could hear someone else breathing near him. Sighing he opened his eyes, he knew he was still in Nyota's body. He turned over and stared at the walls for a few seconds, taking in the names of certain bands and staring at a few hand drawn pictures. Then he rolled out of bed and stood up, stretching. He made sure not to gaze at Cadet Gaila, who was sleeping in the other bed. Instead he walked to the bathroom, and closed the door. He gazed into the mirror, staring at Nyota's image. He was filled with raw emotions, all of which had accompanied him into his sleep. He felt sad and guilty because of his actions, and frustrated at the situation. He was also miserable because he had no doubt that his father would disinherit him because of Nyota's actions. However, he couldn't be angry, it was not his nature and any anger which he had had now dissipated into regret and guilt.
"What logic was there in my actions? None. Although Nyota's actions were just as inappropriate they did not warrant such a response from me." He muttered, closing his eyes briefly. Sighing minutely he turned and stepped into the shower. After he got out he left the bathroom and got dressed. Thankfully Cadet Gaila had not awoken and he did not have to face the consequences of his actions. Instead he got dressed and grabbed a PADD. He needed to talk to Nyota, he needed to discuss their situation and ways of fixing it. He left the room, calming himself as he did so. It was illogical to feel guilty when there was nothing he could to do change the past.
As he exited the room he looked up to see himself walking towards him. It seemed Nyota had the same idea. His body came up to him, but instead of smiling his face remained stoic.
"Spock, we need to talk. How about some coffee?" His voice asked.
Spock blinked and nodded. "That is acceptable." He followed his own body down the hall and outside. The sun was just rising; San Francisco was covered in fog and the air was cold against Spock's face. He breathed deeply, taking solace in the fresh breeze. He followed Nyota for ten minutes, through a series of streets until she reached a small café. She opened the door and let him in, it was a curious experience being the girl. Spock entered, and Nyota followed. The café was small and cozy, with a sofa and a few tables. It was also nearly empty, which provided Spock and Nyota some privacy.
Nyota walked up to the counter and ordered a hot chocolate. Spock blinked, suddenly paniky. He walked up and ordered a small tea, before walking to a small table anxiously. Nyota followed and sat down.
Spock sat and then spoke quietly but urgently, "Nyota, you cannot drink a hot chocolate. Chocolate has the same affect on Vulcan's as alcohol has on humans."
Nyota's eyes widened and she answered, "Oh, sorry. You can have it then, and I'll have the tea."
Spock blinked, and despite everything he felt his lips twitch up, he loved chocolate but could rarely have any. Being human had some perks. "That is acceptable." Spock watched as Nyota went to smile, but then stopped herself. Spock blinked.
"Spock, I'm really sorry about yesterday. I don't know how you could ever forgive me, but I will do whatever I can to amend the damage I did." Nyota's face was honest and anxious.
Spock was stunned, he had not expected this. "I too must apologize for my actions, they were illogical and incorrect. As it seems that we will be in this situation for an undeterminable time it is only logical that we both endeavor to change our attitudes to best suit the others personality." Spock replied, calmly.
Nyota's eyes widened but she nodded. "I agree completely. However, this will take more than just a few hours to do. I think we should cancel all our classes for today and take the time to get to know each other more, that way we can understand each other more." She stated. Spock nodded, he agreed. He was also privately looking forward to be able to spend more time alone with Nyota.
Nyota took out her PADD and sent a few quick messages to inform her students that class was canceled for the day due to medical issues and also sent a few to excuse Nyota—Spock—from any classes he had. That finished she looked up at Spock. Privately she was excited about spending time alone with Spock, if not also ashamed. She had to tell him what the Vulcans had said.
