Entrance Exam II

Suggested by ans90jas10. Pike's heard about it, Spock and Sarek know about it, now Starfleet Command is hearing about it. Don't own them.
"HE DID WHAT?!" could be heard from Admiral Barnett's office. This had to be the craziest thing he'd heard Jim Kirk ever doing in his life.
Archer nodded his head, "He passed the Entrance Exam to the Vulcan Science Academy."
For one of the many times since Kirk entered the Academy, Barnett was left speechless, "How? Who?"
"Sarek, as an 'experiment', administered the test, and Kirk passed it, in Vulcan," Archer said.
A slow grin scrawled over Barnett's face, "I bet the Vulcan High Command was astounded."
"That's one way of putting it," Archer replied with a grin. "Want to go see him?"
Jim, when they entered, was watching a movie and eating popcorn. He looked up to see the two Admirals enter his room, and he eyed them speculatively. "What brings you to my neck of the woods?" Jim asked. "I haven't been able to get into trouble since I moved into this hospital."
"Kirk, with you, trouble is never far behind," Barnett replied with a snort. "So, about Vulcan, is there something you want to tell us?"
"Is that a not so subtle hint that you know about my getting into the VSA?" Jim asked. Archer cackled while Barnett started laughing, "Oh, geez, Old Man Murphy strikes again!" Archer and Barnett laughed even harder. Jim proceeded to tell them about the exam, including the first question.
Archer shook his head, "I wouldn't even have done half so well. Well, congratulations, Jim, we're going to have find some way of getting you over there to attend. Maybe after your five year mission, they'll have plenty of time to have rebuilt it by then." Jim sighed, resignedly. "You really are too smart for your own good!" Jim sighed, it really had been a challenge, but, maybe he should have fudged on that test. Too late now…
