I'll never abandon you guys again.. I'm so sorry, university violated my private areas...

The two continued their walk as if nothing had happened. Nyota made sure to watch where she was going, she didn't want to end up walking on the grass or tripping over pebbles again. "Are we actually going somewhere or are we just going to walk in circles?"

"I like circles." He responded. "They're never ending."

She looked up to him and asked, "What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means they're never ending."

She nodded, still not understanding. Does he mean he wants this "date" to continue or is he really thinking of circles? She thought.

"Perhaps I should explain."

"Please do!" She almost screamed.

He smiled and began to open his mouth when he heard his mother's voice from the kitchen. "It seems that we have visitors. This will have to wait, Nyota."

Come on! She internally screamed. "Okay…"

That was the thing with Nyota. Although she was the clumsiest and the rudest and the un-classiest of her sisters, she could still manage to control her emotions in these types of situations. This wasn't the first time she's had a crush on a boy.

The duo walked into the dining room through the kitchen. Nyota quietly followed Spock, hoping that this visitor was not of importance to him and that they could go back to enjoying their promenade. Also, she wanted to understand this whole circle thing.

"Spock, honey, come say hi."

"This is Pera and Sralek, your future kaifa's parents." Sarek said.

"I don't recall having a future kaifa, father." Spock answered calmly.

Nyota stood in shock. She was not quite fluent in Vulcan, but she understood as much: Spock was to marry. She tried to keep a straight and neutral face, but looking at the two strange Vulcans in front of her made it hard for her to come to terms. Spock was to marry a girl and it wasn't her.

"Excuse me." She said, pushing past Spock to leave the room.

"Sarek!" Amanda exclaimed. "Are you out of your mind?"

"I have done nothing wrong, Amanda. I have simply told the truth."

"Spock and T'Pring have never spoken nor have they ever seen one another. This is not how you introduce someone."

Spock stood in silence while his parents argued. He looked at the two Vulcans standing in front of him and then occasionally glanced at the girl, T'Pring. She was beautiful and although she had brown eyes and brown/black hair, they did her no justice. She was beautiful of course, but his mind seemed to wander to another pair of brown eyes. Ones that were capable of making him laugh.

"Forgive me." He said while the leaving the room.

"Spock, you are to stay here with T'Pring. She is your aduna."

He shut the dining room door and sighed. He knew this was going to happen sooner or later, but he did not expect to be in this position. Nyota was his friend and T'Pring was his betrothed. However, he did not love T'Pring and was unsure of his feelings for Nyota. She made him feel more human, she accepted him for what he was, Vulcan and all.

He walked towards the stairs; he was going to tell Nyota how he felt, even though he didn't know how he felt.

"T'Pring, I apologize for what I said before."

"No need to apologize, Amanda. It is true that Spock and I have never spoken nor met."

"You see, he's a little conflicted at the moment. There's so much he's going through – growing up wise – and then there's you."

"And the human girl." She said while sipping her tea.

Amanda looked at her hard. She already didn't like this girl. There was no way her son was marrying a Vulcan woman. Not if she could help it. "Yes, Nyota. She and Spock are quite close, you see."

"I've noticed."

Sarek felt his wife's arising anger and decided to switch the subject. He knew that Amanda would talk to him after their departure… if he was lucky. "Pera, Sralek, I join us for dinner. My friend Benjamin Uhura and his wife are here, as well."

"Benjamin Uhura, the Kenyan Ambassador?"

"Yes."

"Agreeable. His wife is Catherine Uhura, correct? The artist?"

"Her paintings are quite beautiful." Pera said, speaking for the first time. "It would be quite the evening, three ambassadors and their wives."

Kaifa - wife

P.S: T'Pring's parents are never mentioned so I just invented names. I kind of like Pera, I'm gonna name my fish after that.

Also, I made T'Pring a bitch, LET THE LOVE GAMES BEGIN :)
