The door to Jim's quarters chirped, and both captains groaned at the loud noise. Whoever was at the door obviously took that as their signal to enter. Jane hadn't even gotten her eyes open when she felt a hypo being jabbed into her neck. "Ow!" Her hand flew to her neck to protect it from any more surprise injections. "What was that for?"

Bones crossed his arms. "To cure the hangover."

Jane looked over at Jim to see him rubbing his neck as well. "Well, who'd you get to give you your hypo?"

"Christine. She figured it was the least she could do to avoid a hungover, grumpy boss." The CMO looked into the main part of Jim's quarters. "Did you know Spock spent the night here?"

Jim was up in an instant while Jane flopped back onto the bed, feeling a slight pang of nostalgia that it wasn't her Spock. "Jeez, Jim. Just go give the guy a good time already!" Bones snorted, Jane suddenly feeling really self-conscious because she'd forgotten he was still in the room. She picked up Jim's pillow and covered her head with it before saying, "Forget it. I'm going back to bed, and I'm not letting Jim back in. I don't care if he's hungover or not - they need to get going already."

"You do realize they've only been officially together for five days now?"

"Yes, and I gave them the perfect opportunity to get drunk and have fun, which they didn't take advantage of, by the way." Jane got up, slowly. "Y'know what, forget this. I'm going to the mess hall." She dragged herself out of the bed, landing on the carpet with a thump. "Ow," she groaned.

Bones looked down at her. "Need some help?"

The blonde shut her eyes. "Be quiet, Bones. I'm on my way to being productive."


Ten minutes later, Jane was in the mess hall, a steaming cup of coffee in her hand, not yet ready to eat anything. Jim and Spock joined her within minutes. "I was under the assumption that you were returning to sleep, Jane."

She shrugged. "I couldn't. Not when Bones was standing there like an overprotective mother." After a moment, she snorted at the comparison. "Even though that's really accurate." Jane took a sip of her coffee the same moment Jim did. "Okay, we've got to stop doing that," she said, realizing what they'd just done. "I mean, did the girl Spock and Spock do that?"

It was Jim's turn to shrug. "I don't think so. She spent most of her time planning on a way to get the two of us together with Uhura and Bones." Jane nodded sagely. "Did she even show up last night?"

Jane nodded. That was actually one of the few things she remembered from the night before. "Yup. I think she left a little after we did, actually." She raised her mug in salute to Spock. "Gotta admit it though, Spock. You've got one hell of a fashion sense."

"That statement is inaccurate as I am not my female self, thereby do not possess this 'fashion sense' you speak of."

The blonde he was addressing turned to her male self. "Yours does this too?" Jim nodded, taking another sip of his coffee. "And here I thought since you guys had more bonding time you'd get him out of that habit."

Jim shook his head. "Nah. He hasn't even learned the importance of swearing yet." Jane nodded, humming her acknowledgement. "So, how long do you think it's gonna be before Uhura realizes we let her and Scotty sleep in the same room?"

"Or Sulu and Chekov?"

The former furrowed his eyebrows, considering it. "I say Uhura and Scotty figure it out first." He watched as Jane shook her head, obviously believing Hikaru and Pavel would wake up first. "All right then. If I'm right you get both of us breakfast."

Jane grinned. "And if I'm right, you've gotta kiss Spock when they come in, then get us breakfast."

"Deal."

Spock opened his mouth to object when Jim and Jane shook hands. However, the glare he received from the latter strongly implied that his arguments would be useless.

It took seven minutes, but the two captains finally got to see their bet go into action. Spock was the one who noticed, actually, given that they were deeply enveloped by fond childhood memories of being troublemakers. "I believe Miss Kirk has won your bet, Captain."

Within moments, Jim and Jane looked up to see Hikaru and Pavel walking into the mess hall, the Russian still wiping the sleep from his face. "Yes!" Jane turned back first. "You owe Spock a kiss and me breakfast."

Jim sighed, turning back to his female self and Spock. "Damn. I was sure Uhura was a light sleeper." He looked at Spock. "All right then. Ready?"

"My argument in this situation would be futile for you to honor your side of the bet, would it not?"

"Yup." He shrugged. "Sorry. So, ready then?" Spock nodded. Jim took a deep breath, trying to ignore Jane, who was radiating satisfaction. "Here goes nothing," he muttered. Before he could think about it any more, the captain pulled his First Officer into a kiss. It wasn't anything too...explicit, just a simple kiss.

After a few moments, Jane started slow clapping. Person by person, the mess hall started clapping. Jim and Spock had already pulled apart by that point, each visibly blushing. Once the applause had died down, Uhura and Scotty joined the trio at their table. "Was that what you were planning, Jane?"

Jane took a sip of her coffee. "Yup. I mean, what's a relationship if there isn't public proof?" She looked at Jim and Spock, grimacing slightly. "Sorry. Probably should've warned you guys about that."

Jim shrugged but it was Spock who spoke up. "It was not an unpleasant sensation, Miss Kirk. However, I found that it was dampened by the fact that the entirely of the mess hall was observing us." Jane smiled, glad to know she was forgiven.


The visiting captain found herself in the library again, after half an hour of nothingness. "'Spose I should actually finish that book now," she muttered, pulling a PADD from one of the shelves, landing herself onto one of the couches again.

"Miss Kirk?" A child came up to her. Surprised, Jane looked away from her PADD into the young girl's face. "Would you mind coming with me?"

Jane looked from the PADD back to the little girl. "Okay." She put the piece of technology down, crouching down to reach the girl's eye level. "What's your name?"

"Jenny."

The older blonde smiled sadly. "I used to be called that." Jane stood. "Alright. Let's go. And by the way, call me Jane." Jenny took Jane's hand and began to lead her through the ship, all of the crew having mysteriously disappeared. "Where are we going?"

The child smiled. "To go visit someone." With that, Jenny continued to lead Jane through the ship. Finally, they arrived at the doors to Sickbay. However, these doors were more familiar than those she had come to recognise in the past five days. Confused, Jane looked down to Jenny, who gestured to the doors, not actually stepping in.

Doing so, the captain cautiously walked in, feeling her stomach drop when she saw Bones and Spock sitting across from each other at Bones's desk, drinking one of the doctor's bottles of alcohol, even though it would have no effect on Spock. The thing that made Jane stop in her tracks was though was that it was her Spock and her Bones. "You miss her don't you?" Bones took another sip of whatever kind of drink it was.

"It is illogical to miss the captain as she will return at the end of the week."

The CMO snorted. "Please. It hasn't even been a day yet and you miss her."

Spock did his version of a shrug. "I have found myself less occupied without the captain on board."

"And stop with the 'captain' bull. We're the only two people here. You can call her Jane."

The Vulcan paused before speaking again. "If I did, Doctor, I do not believe I would be able to maintain my professional composure."

Bones nodded. "I understand. Though, I don't think she'd believe me if I told her we'd been talking about her over drinks either."


Jane bolted upright on the couch, the PADD falling off her stomach, breathing heavily. "Miss?" A random ensign walked over to her, picking up the PADD. "Are you alright?"

She nodded. "I'm fine, thanks." Taking the PADD, Jane adjusted herself into a more comfortable position on the couch. Glancing off to the side, she saw Jenny sitting on the ground. "Who are you?"

The younger blonde smiled. "You should remember."

Jane nodded, a sad smile crossing her face again. "I thought I'd never meet myself. Now I've done it twice." Jenny nodded before fading away. Suddenly, Jane jumped up from the couch. "Dinner time!" Very energetically for someone who just woke up, the blonde nearly ran off towards the mess hall to close out her day, satisfied that at least in her reality, Bones and Spock were worrying their heads off about her.

A/N: So, more nostalgic than I wanted, but y'know, I was listening to the One Year Later episode of Welcome to Night Vale. Love it? Hate it? Want a Spirk kiss for yourself?

Also, who likes Jenny?
