Hip hip-horrah!

Jim froze at the words on the screen.

Trelane, Jim thought, oh no.

"Captain!" Came Spock's voice.

The scenery changed before Jim's eyes into a field littered by planets, all in various designs and shapes making unique pictures. Jim was breath taken until he looked to his side to see that the Enterprise was smaller. He was huge compared to them. He reached his hand out toward the small Enterprise only to be snapped at by some invincible force. He yanked his hand back.

"Bad boy." Came a familiar voice.

Jim looked over.

"Trelane." Jim said.

The entity frowned.

"I did not introduce myself, yet!" Trelane scolded him. "You are rude!"

"You are a child,and now, please, send me back to my ship." Jim said.

Trelane's face turned a heated red.

"HOW DARE YOU!" Trelane shouted, outraged.

Jim fell on a line of planets displacing them in several directions. He could feel something heated against his elbow. He looked over to see his elbow had landed into a sun. A damn sun! He used a nearby planet to get up on his two feet watching the young man swing his cane shaking his index finger from side to side. His strides were similar to the Trelane that Jim had known.

"I brought you here to be informed, James whiny Kirk of the Starship Enterprise," Trelane said. "About your final death."

"What about my final death?" Jim asked.

"You are going to join my ranks!" Trelane put one arm around Jim's shoulder. "A whole new world with the man who fought against Nero!"

Jim unwrapped Trelane's arm off his shoulder.

"The hell I will not." Jim said.

"Don't be so silly. I know what your problem is. You just buried your conscience under the heavy weight--" Jim grabbed the man by the lapels. "Hey!"

"How do I unbury him?" Jim asked.

Trelane's face went pale.

"You are not my Kirk?"

"I am not."

"Shit."

Now that was new as the entity shoved Jim off.

"Tell me!"

"Who are you?"

"Admiral James T. Kirk."

"Ad--Admiral?"

"Yes."

Trelane put on a pair of glasses and then he nearly doubled back seeing Jim for his true form.

"Oh my stars. How did I not know!" Trelane threw the glasses over his shoulder letting it fall alongside the Enterprise. "You are dead!"

"I know, I know, I know." Jim said, rolling an eye.

"Oh my stars, I am going to pop up in three years and I will make this entire event seem as though it never happened," Trelane glared at the young captain. "You better be out of him by the time I pop up!" He pointed his finger straight at Jim. "All you need to do is some digging with a shovel. Find a shallow grave. All in the mind." Trelane grinned. "Good luck!"

Trelane flipped his hand and all was as it was prior to his sudden arrival. Jim was sitting down in his chair watching the stars pass by. Chekov and Sulu were discussing about how they would react to seeing Charlie Evans again. There was a picture of a little girl on Sulu's console. The only girl Jim was aware of in Sulu's life was Demora. The one who served on the Enterprise B. She was a Ensign. She could have passed for Chekov's daughter if not for her heritage and her relations to Sulu. She was very proud of her nation.
