"Just twist that there, Jim. Yup. That's good. Oookay. I think she's done." Kirk and Scotty(who had also come back early from summer break) stepped back and veiwed their work.

"Oh my God, this thing is awesome, Scotty."

"Aye, Jim." They were looking at a newly restored shiny-black harley-davidson motorcycle.

Kirk touched the handles, he just had to ride it. He hopped on.

"Hey Scotty, you mind if I take the first ride?"

"Wait, you actually plan ta ride it?" asked Scotty.

"Yeah, what else?" asked Kirk. Bones came running toward him, followed by Spock.

"Jim! Where have you been? We have a report due and you- What the heck is that?" asked Bones.

"It seems to be some sort of vehicle." remarked Spock.

"It's a motorbike." said Scotty.

"And I'm taking it for a spin." said Kirk. "One of you wanna come? You can sit behind me."

"Do you know how to drive it?" asked Bones.

"I helped put it back together, I know how it works." said Kirk.

"But can you steer it?" said Spock. "Do you know how to stop it?"

"Kinda..." said Kirk.

"You don't know anything about driving this do ya?" said Bones.

"I can drive a car, Bones. This can't be too hard."

"I know how to drive old cars too Jim. And a motorcycle is different." said Scotty. "Maybe you should read a manual first. I've got one up in my room."

"You can't read about driving! You just have to try it!" insisted Kirk. He started the bike up.

"Are sucidal or just insane?!" yelled Bones. "Spock, tell him he's being an idiot!"

"If you believe that my word will carry any more weight than yours in this situation, you have not been paying close enough attention."

"Look, guys. I'm leaving, goodbye, see you when I get back." Jim revved the engine of the motorcycle and then shot off.

Jim thought it felt amazing. the world was flying by past him, he'd seem that before, but he hadn't felt the wind of his face from it. He swerved to get back into the middle of the road before hitting a tree. \

"Hey, watch where your going, kid!" yelled someone

"Sorry!" he yelled back. swerved again to avoid hitting a streetlight. He kept going. He decided to go in a big loop, ending up where he started. He navigated through the streets, scaring more than one person by coming dangerously close to crashing. He almost ran into three people.

But it still felt amazing.

Bones glanced around. He, Spock, and Montgomery were still where Kirk had left them.

That Idiot! Where is he? He had bettter come back soon! I hope he gets stopped by someone and gets in enough trouble that he never even wants to look at that stupid motorcycle again!

He heard an engine and Jim blew into sight, barreling toward them.

"JIM!" yelled Bones. "Slow down!"

"I can't! The brakes aren't working! I think I broke them!" said Kirk, swerving wildly. hHe regained control of the bike and realized he was heading right toward his friends.

"Watch out!" he screamed. The three other boys ran for cover. Kirk swerved off to the side, he slamed the breaks as hard as he could, but it was too late. Before stopping, the bike swerve sideways and slammed into the side of a building, throwing Jim off, slamming into, and skidding across the concrete.

"Jim!" Yelled Bones, he ran over to the other boy, who was laying on his side,unmoving. Spock ran over by him too, and rolled Jim onto his back. He face was scratched up and he had a deep looking cut on his cheek. Jim groaned very softly and lifted his head. He seemed to be losing consiousness.

"Dangit, Jim." said Bones, he looked behind him at Scotty. "Go get help!" he said, and Scotty took off.

"That-that kind hurt." said Jim, he let his head fall back down.

"Hey, hey. No sleeping okay?" said Bones. Spock pulled off the sweater he was wearing and started tearing it, using pieces to bandaged Kirk's face.

"My arm really hurts." said Jim very quietly. "And my head. You sure I can't sleep?"

"If you don't remain consious, you could very likely die." said Spock.

"Okay, no dying." said Jim, not even knowing what he was saying.

"Spock, keep talking to him, don't let him fall asleep. And keep it light." said Bones. Spock immediatly launched into an ongoing narrative about almost everything. He listened to Bones and kept his words short.

Leonard pulled up Jim's shirt and rolled up his pants and sleeves so he could see jsut how bad it was. Everything seemed to be swelling or bleeding. He set about quickly stopping as much bleeding as he could, stayign calm like he'd been taught as a medical student.

Two doctors arrived right after that, they said Scotty had told them what had happened (Scotty had then been told to stay behind). They got Kirk onto the stretcher and carried him away to a shuttle to take him to a hospital.

He had better be okay. Thought both Spock and Bones.

Jim sighed and layed back in bed. He hated hospitals and sickbays and infirmaries. And he had been in the hopitals for four days now.

The cuts on his face had all been healed up alright, except the really deep one, that one they had actually stiched closed and were going to finished mending once it had started to fix itself.

He had gotten a serious concussion, broken a two ribs, his arm, and twisted his ankle. and he had had other deeps cuts besides the one on his face, which meant a lot of lost blood

"James, you have visitors." said a nurse, and in came Bones and Spock.

"Hey guys, got my homework?" he said. Bones and Spock had been bringing his schoolwork to him since the accident, it was lighter work than normal, but still schoolwork. And they stay and help him with it.

"Here are your assigments, James." said Spoc, handing Kirk and PADD, which he took. He put it down, not wanting to do it just then.

"We talked to your parents again today. Spock convinced your mom to stay in Iowa, again." said Leonard. "I don't get why you won't talk to them."

"It takes a Vulcan telling her I'm fine to get her to stay put. If she saw my face with these ugly, stupic stitches, she'd be here before I cut off the transmission."

"I hope she won't call again, I am... uncomfortable making your injuries out to be less extensive than they are." said Spock.

"Don't worry, I shoud be out of here in the next three days, maybe less." said Kirk. He sat up entirely and threw his legs over the side of the bed.

"Hey! Lay back down! Right now!" said Bones. Jim groaned and obeyed.

"Scotty fixed the bike, in case you care." siad Leonard.

"Really? That's great! I've been feelling so bad about damaging it. And now once I'm out of here I can go riding again!"

"ARE YOU INSANE!" screamed Bones. "You'd actually get back on that bike after this?"

"Yeah, I just need more practice." said Kirk simply.

"James." said Spock.

"Yeah?"

"If you ever ride that motorcycle, or any other motorcycle again, I will do everything in my power to keep you from leaving our room for anything other than classes until we graduate." said Spock. "am I clear?"

"Alright." sighed Kirk. "You win, no more motorcycles. Now can we do my schoolwork? I want to finish it so I can play some games on the PADD." Bones rolled his eyes, and three young men set about doing homework in the hospital room. Each of them thankful that in a few days, through the wonders of modern medicine, it would be like the accident never happened and they would all be back to normal life.
