"Bridge to the Captain. Captain Kirk, are you there?"

Jane groaned, really regretting telling Jim and Spock to go get cozy in Spock's room while she crashed there. She rolled over onto her back before replying. "You got a female Kirk instead. How's that?"

The voice calling the captain's quarters cleared his throat. "Miss Kirk, I'm sorry, I didn't know you were there -."

"Sulu, stop that." The helmsman shut his mouth immediately, his face going red at being identified. "Now, tell me what's going on."

Hikaru cleared his throat nervously again. "There's a call coming in from Admiral Pike for Captain Kirk, ma'am. I was going to direct to his quarters, but you're there so..."

Jane rolled her eyes. "Sulu, I'm going to tell you where he is. And when I do, you have to keep it quiet." She paused for a minute. "Take me off speaker."

"How did you -?"

"Just do it, Sulu." The blonde waited a few moments until she was sure she was only talking to the helmsman. "He's in Spock's quarters. Go bother them. Besides, I think they need the wake up call. Well, Jim probably needs it." Hikaru had almost ended the call when Jane spoke up again. "And tell the admiral that Jane says hi."

"But he won't know who you are."

Jane scoffed. "If he's curious, he'll ask Jim." She ended the call, pressing one of the buttons at the top of the bed. "Sleep," she said quietly, rolling back over onto her stomach.

Suddenly the ship's intercom system chirped again. "Jane T. Kirk get your ass down to Sickbay. If you're planning on doing anything today, I need to clear you for it. I know you can hear me and I know that Jim's not there. If you aren't here in ten minutes I'm pulling you out of that bed myself, no matter what state you're in." It chirped again, signalling the end of the call.

The blonde lifted her head from the pillow to glare at the panel just above her eye level. "Dammit, Bones," she whined. "Couldn't you have waited till later?"

On cue, the intercom system chirped. "Stop whining and get out of the bed."

Surprised, Jane nearly fell out of the bed, bumping her head in the process. "Jeez. I'll be down in five. Don't expect me to look pretty though."


As promised, five minutes later Jane was walking through the doors in Sickbay. "Boooones," she whined. "Why'd you get me up so early?" Slowly she brought the coffee she'd replicated to her lips.

However, before she could take a sip, Bones pulled it out of her hands. "I knew you were up." She raised her eyebrows, surprised. "Sulu called." Nodding, Jane allowed Bones to pull her over to a biobed. "I figured I'd catch you before you went and decided to do something stupid."

Jane grinned. "I told Sulu to say hi to Admiral Pike for me."

"He doesn't even know who you are."

Her grin grew. "I know. That's what makes it so great." Rolling his eyes, Bones scanned Jane with his tricorder.


The intercom in Spock's quarters chirped signalling a call. Spock, already being up, gently shook Jim by the shoulder as he answered. "Commander Spock."

"Commander, is the captain there?"

"He is."

"Uh, okay, because there's a video call for him from Admiral Pike. Miss Kirk said to check your quarters."

Spock rolled Jim onto his back. "Jim, you need to wake up. You have a video call from Admiral Pike."

Groaning, Jim reluctantly sat up, giving up the option of ignoring Spock. "Alright, put it through, Mister Sulu." Spock stood, moving out of frame in favor of pulling an outfit for the day (he was currently in his Vulcan robes). Jim cracked his back and cleared his throat just before the admiral's face appeared. "Admiral."

"Captain. It's good to see you're doing well. I am curious though. Who is Jane?"

Jim froze, glancing over at Spock, who had paused. "Why do you ask, Admiral?"

"Well, your helmsman said that someone named Jane told him to send me a 'hi'. Who is she?" He waited for a few moments, before clearing his throat. "Captain?"

The blonde cleared his throat nervously. "Actually, I kinda need to tell you about this. Uh, within the past week and a half, the Enterprise has received two...unusual guests."

Pike crossed his arms. "Define unusual."

"They were from realities parallel to our own."

Now the admiral raised an eyebrow in an excellent imitation of Spock. "And you know this how?"

Jim grimaced. "They both kinda told us." After a glance at Spock, the blonde cleared his throat again. "They're both female and crew members on their own versions of the Enterprise. The first was Spock," he continued, risking a glance at his First Officer. "She left after staying here for a week. The second..."

Pike nodded for Jim to continue. "She is?"

"Well sir, her name is Jane T. Kirk and she's the captain of the Enterprise."

Silence filled the room for a good minute. Finally, Pike cracked. "She is captain of the Enterprise? Not my ship," he added for good measure. He looked at Jim again. "This isn't a prank, is it?" Jim shook his head. After a few moments, Pike started laughing.

Jim groaned, putting his head into his hands. "Not you too."


Finally, Jane walked out of Sickbay with every intention of going to the mess hall. Once there, she was greeted with the sight of Jim repeatedly banging his head against the table he was sitting at and Spock calmly eat while sitting beside his captain. Quickly getting coffee and a steak breakfast from the replicator, she sat down across from them. "Tough morning?"

Jim looked up at her. "Admiral Pike video called me this morning." Jane managed to keep a straight face while she cut up her steak. "His first question was 'Who is Jane?' Unfortunately, that left me to explain who you are and who the alternate Spock is."

After a long moment, Jane cracked. "Sorry, Captain. I couldn't help it when Sulu called your room looking for you," she smiled. Jim groaned, banging his head against the table again. "Stop that otherwise it'll be my ass Bones chews out. I only told Sulu to say hi to the guy for me."

"But he didn't know who you were."

"Exactly. That's why it was harmless." Jane calmly put a piece of steak into her mouth.

"I believe the captain is attempting to inform you that it was a poor choice on your part by requesting that Mister Sulu express greetings to Admiral Pike from you, as the admiral was not aware of your presence nor your existence until the captain was forced to explain." Jane looked at Spock, who returned to eating.

She rolled her eyes. "Jeez. I'm sorry, I didn't know it was that bad."

"The thing is," Jim began, lifting his head from where he'd rested it on the table. "You're me, so I should've known you would do something like that should the opportunity present itself." He looked from Jane to Spock and back after a minute. "Whoa. Spock, you're rubbing off on me."

"Captain, that statement would be accurate however -."

"SPOCK," Jim said, cutting his First Officer off before that thought could be continued. "Figure of speech. It means I'm picking up your habits." Both of them turned back to Jane who was really trying not to laugh. "Just laugh already."

She did, and when she finally calmed down, she looked at Jim and Spock again. "Sorry. You sure you guys have only been together a couple of days?" Jim nodded, stopping Spock when he opened his mouth to give the exact number of days, hours, minutes, and probably seconds. "See, now I understand why the girl Spock had such an easy time getting the two of you together."

Unfortunately at that moment, Jim had been drinking his own coffee, which he nearly choked on (he was more polite than Hikaru who had spit out his drink twice on Uhura recently). Spock had paused in eating to send a questioning eyebrow to Jane. "Are you referring to the fact that we work well together, Miss Kirk?"

Jane rolled her eyes. "Spock, don't be so formal. I know you're half-Vulcan but jeez, call me Jane every now and then. And yes, I am referring to the fact that you two work well together plus the obvious, being that you two are very in tune with each other. Speaking of working, shouldn't you two be on the bridge?"

Jim coughed, trying to get the coffee out of his lungs. "Spock, we gotta go." With that, he stood, taking his tray with him. Spock nodded to Jane, standing with his tray as well. Jane returned the nod, hiding her smile with her coffee cup.


Second place of the day to be infiltrated was the library. Well, it wasn't really a library, it was one of the recreation rooms. It just happened to have lots of PADD's with all of the books in digital form on them. Jane picked one up and quickly settled down onto one of the cushioned sofas.

About five hours was spent reading. Nearing the end of those five hours was when Jane was finally interrupted. By this point she'd shifted from her original position about ten times. "Miss Kirk?"

Jane sat up from where she was laying on the couch to find Pavel, Hikaru, Uhura, and Scotty were all looking at her. "Yeah?" She rubbed her eyes.

"Ve vere vondering if you vould like to join in our game of cards," Pavel continued, his face practically glowing. To prove what he was talking about, he showed her the deck of cards in his hand.

Blinking a few times, Jane finally focused on the deck in front of her nose. "Sure. What're we playing?"


Jim wandered around, wondering where the majority of his senior crew was. Finally, he got to Recreation Room Two, or in other words, the library. Stepping in, he highly doubted that they were in here.

He was wrong.

They sat around a circular table, Pavel dealing cards in the center, Hikaru to his right, Uhura to his left. Scotty sat on Uhura's other side and Spock next to Hikaru, and between them was Jane. "Okay, so who's going first this time?"

"Hey guys," Jim said, walking over to them. "What's goin' on?"

Pavel grinned at him. "Ve are playing a card game, Keptin. Vould you like to join us?"

Jim shrugged and took the seat between Spock and Jane. "What're we playing?"

A/N: Honestly I can't think of a better way to finish a chapter. Oh, and don't ask what game they're playing. It was a game I played with my sister and her friend last time she was home but I CAN NOT REMEMBER IT'S NAME AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY. Anywho, didya like it? Hmm? Reviews and suggestions welcome!

Also, for next chapter, (since I started it today), WHO'S READY TO SCREW AROUND WITH THE CA~NON?
