 The three days passed slowly but surely, you managed to keep low on the subject but every time you asked Kieran for an exact plan, they said that they couldn't say in case something went wrong, which you understood. Eventually, you were awoken in the middle of the night by Kieran. "Princess, it's time to go. Put this on." They whispered, handing you a neutral-colored servant's outfit. You nodded and put it on. They then messed around with your hair, styling it, and did your make-up to make you look like someone different. "McCoy is waiting for us, are you sure there is nothing else you wish to bring with you, princess?" They asked, holding onto the bag full of your things. You knew Dr.McCoy well as he was your practitioner, and while you were typically left with Nurse Chapel, he was one of the few men allowed near you.

"No, and I feel like you should call me (F/N) in this case." You replied.

"Actually, we've prepared an alias for you since your name is still recognizable. Will Alex work for you?" They asked, you nodded lightly and they smiled. "Good, let's go." They held onto your hand and led you through nooks and crannies of the castle you never knew existed. The two of you went into a dark room, where you were met by the old, southern, blue-eyed man nicknamed Bones.

"Alex, it's been so long since I've seen you! You've changed quite a bit!" He greeted with a warm smile.

"And you haven't changed a bit, doctor."

"Just call me Bones now, no need for formalities. You certainly won't get a break from them when you're dealing with those pointed-eared devils." He joked. "Especially the Prince!"

"Do you know Spock?" You asked.

"Know him? I had to work with him constantly! Did Kirk not tell you of our mission together? We actually had to work together in a small town to see how a Vulcan would handle being in a human setting so that the Vulcans could see whether it was a good idea to even allow Vulcans to live in the human kingdom. It was actually where Jim and Ms.Rand met!"

"Wow- I didn't even know that happened."

"Yeah, well you are pretty sheltered. Anyways, come here kid, I gotta make sure you're fit for this." He stated, patting the seat of a chair by you. You sat down and he began poking and prodding at you while he asked constant questions about your condition and such. This was a  pretty normal practice before a noble or a royal had to leave on a mission, the same happened to you prior to your first visit with Spock.

"Well, everything looks good! Good luck out there, Alex." The Doctor announced.

"Thank you, Bones. I hope I will see you again."

"Oh trust me, you will. If there is a will, there is a way." He chuckled. "You know, you make me think humanity's not a complete waste. I don't think there's anyone else that would do this sort of thing, it's full of risks and challenges. It's going to be hard."

"It's already been hard, I'm sure I can take a few more troubles."

"Till next time, Alex."

"Till then, Bones." You smiled. Kieran then led you through what was the servant's entrance to the castle and to a carriage, where a woman of dark skin and brown eyes met you. She wore a smile and smelled of sweetness.

"Hello, Kieran. May I assume this is Alex?" The woman asked.

"The one and only." Kieran smirked.

"Hello, I am Nyota Uhura, but everyone just calls me Uhura." She greeted, extending a hand. You took it and gave her a gentle shake, making her laugh. "Have you not shook hands before?"

"Not too much, I don't get out much." You laughed. "I recognize your name, are you in charge of communications between kingdoms?" You asked.

"Yes I am, and luckily for you, I'm to be at the Vulcan kingdom by noon."

"So that's why you couldn't get me out sooner, right Kieran?"

"Yes, I had to find someone inconspicuous. If she leaves, no one will notice, but if we went to the Vulcan kingdom in a different carriage and someone noticed, it would be suspicious. We are to stage as her personal servants, is that understood?" They explained. You nodded and turned back towards Uhura.

"Then let's get going." You encouraged.

"I like your spirit, you two can go in first." She complimented. You and Kieran stepped into the carriage and sat together on one side while Uhura took the other. Once you had finally relaxed, you realized how tired you were and felt yourself slowly drifting off but forced yourself to stay awake.

"It's alright if you want to sleep, princess, we'll pay no mind." Uhura noted. You nodded and allowed yourself to rest for the rest of the trip. Hours later, you were awakened by the light shaking of Kieran.

"Alex, we're here." They informed as you rubbed the sleep out of your eyes.

"We're going to be going through the main entrance, so keep your head hung low, alright?" Uhura spoke up. You nodded and followed the two. It felt different this time heading into the castle, there was no fanfare or excitement, it was a more relaxing and casual way to enter.

"Good afternoon, Uhura and Kieran. I see you brought the Princess with you." Sarek greeted, seeing right through your disguise.

"Yes, your majesty, her home life has only gotten worse and she has requested asylum here. If you can't grant that, then I am sure we could find a way to hide her away." She replied.

"While I cannot grant asylum in this case, I can do the latter. I am certain that the prince will be relieved to see her out of harm's way. Uhura let us continue our meeting elsewhere, and Mx. Kieran, please get the princess into proper clothes and take her to see the prince, I am certain they would want to see each other." Sarek instructed.

"Yes, your highness." Kieran bowed. They then took you to a dressing room to fit you into a proper dress. It was more free form with ¾ long sleeves that had a loose white fringe on the ends of the sleeves, it was a daisy yellow with white accents, and once Kieran fixed your hair and make-up, looked even better on you. You found yourself slightly anxious to see Spock again, but you were certain that this meeting would go well.
