An: I gotten some great reviews, but also a lot of questions. One reviewer ask about how could Spock/Nyota be lovers if they haven't even slept together yet and that answer is simple…people can be in a relationship without having sex. Spock as a Vulcan views his relationship differently than Nyota. So there. And if that answer doesn't satisfy you…keep reading!

Read and Review. Classes start tomorrow! So I going to try to post at least a chapter a week until its done so reviews serve as a major motivator!

I don't own!

A Wrinkle in Time

Chapter Three

Far From Home

(A few hours later)

It hadn't been any use standing outside and trying to figure out what was going on. After all, people were staring and it was starting to get dark. They needed a place to stay and went to a nearby hotel, but the only problem was that none of them knew anything about money. Money and all the ills that came with it was long lost by the 23th century and such things reminded people of their barbaric and primitive nature. In the 23th century, there was a utopia of sorts, no social classes, no poverty and people's lives was no longer guided by the desire to increase their wealth and status. It was an existence that prove useful, but here in the 20th century, people were still enslaved to the almighty dollar.

The woman at the counter made it clear she wasn't going to accept anything else, and told them to leave.

The group again thought about where to go and get some money.

Snapping her fingers Nyota had an idea, " I once heard of such a place called a pawn shop. It is where people went to trade things for money."

"Yes, I've heard of this too, but what do we have to trade?" Kirk asked.

Nyota reached into her small bag, completely unaware of the tribble hiding in there and pulled out a small gold necklace. Spock suppressed a frown, he had given her the necklace made from Cardassian gold as a birthday present, but understood they needed the money to get a place to say.

They went inside the pawn shop and was greeted by an older man, his sights were set on Nyota who presented him the necklace.

"Such a pretty necklace for such a pretty lady!" The man grinned and Spock who had his ears hidden in a wrap looked out the window.

Humans.

So illogical.

"How much can we get for that?" Nyota asked.

The man held up the necklace, "Gold! And nice gold at that! Not that cheap knock off crap people try to show me. Where did you get this?"

"A friend gave it to me." Nyota answered."Good friend! I tell you what, I will give you about $300 for it. Sounds cool?" The man reached under the counter and pulled out the money.

Nyota, Kirk, Bones and Scotty exchanged glances, "Is that a lot of money?" Kirk asked.

"Yeah!" The man answered.

"Sure." Nyota accepted the money and noticed that the music the man was playing was strangely familiar.

"Who sings that song?" Nyota asked.

The man gave her 'are you crazy' stare, "That man is none of than the King, the King of Pop!"

Nyota forgot she had to appear she was from this time period and nodded her head, "Oh, I just forgot." In her time, that same King of Pop had a massive museum and a loyal following. So it was odd listening to his music on the radio in 1999.

Spock turned around from facing the window "You are ruled by a King?" He asked.

The man became confused, "No, we are ruled by a President. Where are you from?"

Spock was going to say something until Kirk said, "Just had a crazy week that's all!"

The group walked out and headed back to hotel. When they were stopped by a short kid covered in environmental buttons.

"Hey do you know what's happening?" The kid began waving his arms in multiple directions. "The humpback whales are being hunted to extinction! We have to stop it!"

"What do you want us to do?" Bones asked.

"Sign this petition!" The kid shoved the pad in Bones's face.

It was becoming harder and harder to blend in with 20th century people, because in the 23rd century hand writing was a thing of the past and only a few humans who practice it as a novelty actually knew how to write.

The kid waited and Bones looked at Kirk who looked at Scotty who looked at Nyota.

"Come on! The whales are going to die if we don't help them!"

Spock raised a eyebrow, "How will signing a piece of paper going to help them?" Humpback whales were long extinct by the their time thanks to the humans of the 20th century.

The kid had no answer.

Since none of the humans knew how to write their own names, Spock took the pad and wrote his name in English.

The kid smiled and ran off.

"You can write in human languages?" Nyota asked. She felt dumb, as a xenolinguistics student at Starfleet she understood and could speak in various alien languages, but couldn't even write in English albeit an ancient and primitive language.

"Yes, I studied English as a hobby, my mother's ancestors spoke the language and so I felt I should know it too."

The group walked back to the hotel and paid for the room. The woman thought it might suspicious that one woman would book a room with four other men, but said nothing.

"Have fun." She mumbled.

Spock and the others didn't know what she meant, but Nyota did and she rolled her eyes.

(Enterprise)

Sulu had no choice, but to surrender the ship, the Enterprise was too badly damaged and he was fighting a war in the dark. Mr. Jones's words worried him. Could they really be in another Universe?

Sulu wasn't as resourceful as Kirk, he followed the rules and wasn't about to go head first into a situation he knew nothing about. Perhaps, he reasoned he could somehow explain what was going on.

Then he remembered. Nero.

The older Nyota told the crew that Nero and his crew attacked the Earth and Kirk did blast him into a black hole, so maybe Nero wasn't in the best of moods to talk.

Syon informed him that he and his crew was boarding the ship.

Sulu waited in the transporter room.

Syon and his crew was beamed aboard.

Sulu couldn't believe it.

These were no Romulans, but Vulcans! All of them were Vulcans!

Syon emerged from behind the largest Vulcan and walked up to Sulu.

"I am Syon. I have come for my mother."

Sulu had a confused look on his face.

"I don't know your mother!"

Syon gave him an confused look as well. "You are Mr. Sulu right?"

"Yes."

"Then how could you not know me? You helped my mother give birth to me! My mother is your friend, Nyota!"

"What!"

Sulu asked a dumb question, "Then who is your father?"

The Vulcan eyes became dark with hate. "My father is that good for nothing Spock! He abandon us! Left us to die on the Earth!"

Syon slammed the wall causing a rather large hole.

Sulu had no clue what to do. It was clear that some how their universes overlapped during the storm and that this Syon thought of this mother as still being alive.

Syon had the appearance of a young man and Sulu remembered what Mr. Jones had said.

"You look at lot younger than I would have thought." Syon remarked.

"Yes, Syon there is something we must talk about."

(Earth)

The hotel room was small and there were only two beds. Kirk being the selfish one jumped on a bed and claimed it for himself, while the others were left fighting for the last one. Spock had no need for sleep.

Nyota quietly left the room.

Spock followed.

Both went outside and Nyota began crying.

"What is going on here?"

"Nyota…"

"We have a son that is on this planted! He must be so along nothing knowing what he is?"

Spock shook his head. "That would be illogical."

"How so?"

"How could such a son exist?"

"Yes, we haven't even…"

"I understand that our relationship hasn't been consummated yet, but what I mean is that it appears as though there has been a mistake."

"Mistake?"

"Yes."

"How?"

Spock tried to find the words to explain the situation. "The Nyota we saw was much older perhaps around forty years of age, which means this son must be around twenty. Why stay on the Earth for that long in a Starship that could have easily gone back to the future? This means something must have kept her from going back. Next, if our son did exist he wouldn't anymore simply, because we are here. Our presence has change everything."

"We don't even know when the child will be conceived."

"That is a non issue. If he was born here during 1999 Earth, we would have already known about him. Remember Nyota, this time has already past."

Nyota nodded her head in understanding, "You're right, if our son was born in the past we would have known about him already. What does this mean?"

"It means that this is all a mistake. I believe the message wasn't meant for us, but for another Enterprise. The question is now how do we get back to our time?"

"We have to tell the others!"

(Enterprise)

"So where is my mother?" Syon asked.

Sulu had his second in command Mr. Jones standing next to him.

"I believe that this is all a mistake. You see, we were in an ion storm which must have transferred us to your Universe. Your mother's message was sent while she was still on Earth in 1999 for what reasons we don't know. "

"Where is she?" Syon asked.

"Your mother was destroyed by the Romulan ship! By Nero!"

Syon's eyes flashed emotion and he screamed in anger. Sulu believed that for a Vulcan to show such emotion he had to be raised around his mother's people.

Syon gripped his head, "My mother is dead! My family is dead! Everything is destroyed! He wanted his revenge and he got it!"

"Syon." Sulu reached out to the disturbed Vulcan.

"No, I don't believe you! My mother is alive, she told me she would be okay! She sent me away after my father began his attack on the Earth."

Sulu and Mr. Jones exchange glances. "Spock did this? What happen to Nero?"

"Nero raised me! I am more his son than Spock's."

"But your mother said he was dead!"

"No, Spock isn't dead. He still lives!"

Just then the transporter officers shouted, "Someone else is beaming on to the ship."

Everyone turned and Syon smiled.

It was Nero.

An: I hope you all liked. Tricky! But its all good! Let me know what you think.
