Scottie felt like he was ready to bang his head on the wall consistently. He was stranded on an alien planet with his newest ensign. She was giving him the biggest headache of the century. He didn't know how much longer he would be able to keep his calm façade up. "Lass, I told ya already that is extremely dangerous! Why do ya think the wires are connected in that pattern? It's not for decoration. If you mess with it and fix the wrong wire we'll be dead." Scottie tried his best to reason with the ensign."Calm down, Scottie. I know what I'M doing were not going to die. So stop nagging me." You were tired of the Scottish guy always trying to tell you what you were doing right and wrong. Did he think you graduated just because of your looks? You and Scottie had been sent down here on this alien planet to search for an ancient machine. Which you both found minutes ago. Sadly this machine was disrupting your communicators and if you didn't deactivate it fast enough dangerous levels of poisonous gasses would explode from it killing you both.
Yay, no pressure. You had been vigourisly working on the machine for the past five minutes. You both only had five left and it was giving you a slight adrenaline rush. This was nothing compared to what Captain Kirk normally put the U.S.S Enterprise and her crew through. However, this was your first mission. You could feel a little bit of the pressure. Your hands started to shake and you tried your best to hide it from Scottie. Would it be easier to let him do this and save you both? Yes, but you wanted to prove that you could do this and that you were a reliable new member of star fleet. Not just a rookie that needs to be given minor jobs.
Scottie was tapping his foot and trying not to freak out. He was almost humming but he worried that it might distract you. He was close to just pulling you away and letting himself fix the damn machine. You groaned. "This wire is to far back." You took some wire cutters and carefully moved through some wires.
You clipped a wire and Scottie yanked you back. You fell backwards in slow motion. Electricity flew from the machine and you saw Scotties body being jerked before he fell over. Oh my gosh..Scottie! You hit the ground and heard him scream. It was horrifying. You sat up and experienced an intense wave of nausea. The world spun and it hurt to look at it. "Scottie, Ensign (Yourname). This is your captain speaking do you read me? The machine has been fixed its not interfering anymore. Scottie?"
The world formed a picture and Scottie was on the ground lying completely still a few feet from you. You stood up and wobbled over to him. Scottie, please be ok. You thought desperately. You fell down next to him and checked his heart beat. It was very faint but he was still alive. You felt a little relief than grabbed his communicator. "This is ensign (Yourname) requesting immediate medical attention. Mister Scott is in bad shape." You tried to talk without crying. "Give us your coordinates, well be there soon." You punched in your coordinates and sent them waiting for the Captain. "Scottie, I don't know if you can hear me right now. If you ever give me another order I promise I won't question it. Just please be ok."
You felt warm tears rise in your eyes but you didn't let them fall. A Starfleet officer must not let anything surprise or overwhelm them. They must be ready for anything. You knew you could hold back your emotions for a little bit. It was okay to break down later once you were both safely back on the ship. It only took the captain, bones, and Spock a few moments to show up. Bones rushed over to Scottie and checked his heart rate. "He isn't doing so well. I need him taken back to sick bay immediately."
Spock didn't waste anytime in picking up Scottie carefully. Kirk looked emotionless, but his eyes gave away his worry and fear. He helped you stand up and you were all beamed aboard the ship. They all rushed out to sick bay and you stayed behind watching them all leave. You were torn, of course Scottie getting hurt was something you'd never want to happen. You were just trying to prove your worth as an ensign. You felt crushed and slowly followed after Scottie. You wouldn't leave his side. Not until he woke up and you apologized.
Third person pov: Scottie slowly woke up to see Bones messing with a medical device. "I'm hungry, do ya have any food here?" That was the first sentence out of Scotties mouth that made Dr. McCoy roll his eyes and call the nurse. "Please bring a tray of healthy food for Mister Scott. He won't be leaving anytime soon." The nurse nodded and left. Scottie laughed. "Aye ya sound like yur not happy to see me alive." Dr. McCoy just groaned. "I'm glad your ok. We'd loose one of the ships best if you were gone. Now, if you'll excuse me I'm hungry as well. You've been out cold for around two weeks. She's never left your side so you might want to feed her to."
Scottie looked confused than he saw you sleeping. You had a chair pulled up to his bed and were asleep with your head near his right shoulder. Scottie stared at you and noticed how horrible you looked. You had lost some weight and your eyes were swollen. He whispered. "Ah lass, what did ya do to yourself?" Scottie looked at bones. "Hey, Why didn't you send her away? look at her she's almost skin and bones." Scottie questioned. Bones crossed his arms. "I tried but she's so damn stubborn she wouldn't listen. Even the captain ordered her away and she stayed. She feels real bad about what happened." Bones finished sounding really tired.
Scottie nodded. "You go and get your meal and a wee bit of sleep. I'll hold the fort down." bones laughed to himself. "That actually sounds appealing I must be extremely tired." Scottie laughed and bones nodded and left the room. Scottie turned to you and he slowly rasied his arm. He was extremely tired and weak. "Hey, lass. Lassie." Scottie was whispering while shaking your shoulder gently. You slowly woke up and when you saw Scottie alive on the bed you couldn't help it. You cried. Scottie didn't even hesitate he pulled you to his chest. "I'm so sorry." You said while crying.
Scottie rubbed circles into your back. "I'm alright, Lass. Just extremely tired. You don't have to cry. Ya need to take better care of yourself. Your looking a little pale and like you haven't had a good meal in days." You looked up at Scottie and sniffed trying to make the tears go away. You nodded. "Good, now I won't be satisfied until I see you eat a good meal and smile." You smiled but it was strained. Scottie smiled, "We'll work on it." The nurse walked in with two trays one for Scottie and one for you. She made it clear that Doctor McCoy would force feed you if you didn't eat the food. You gulped and slowly ate. Scottie laughed. "That would be scary. So why have you stayed with me? Did you really think I would die that easily?"
You looked down. "It was my fault. I didn't listen to you about any of the safety procedures. I just wanted to prove that I was a reliable ensign. Instead I acted like a hot head and you almost died." Another tear fell down your face. Scottie wiped it away with his thumb. "It's alright, we all make mistakes. You should here about what I did with a transporter and a dog." Scottie had a sour face for a moment. "Never mind lets not talk about that." He moved his hand to your shoulder and gripped it. "You know you already proved your worth in the academy. You had the best scores and stayed above your classes. That's why you were assigned with me on that planet. Your skills are amazing and I believe your very reliable." You smiled and Scottie smiled. "Ya know its been a while sense I've had someone to drink with. I know this great place at our next scheduled shore leave." Scottie replied. "We can celebrate that were both alive." You nodded and Scottie grinned. He started eating his food like it was oxygen and you laughed. You smiled than looked down at your own food. It has been a while sense you've gone out to drink. Than you blushed. Does he mean out as friends or a date??
(AN: PART TWO WILL COME LATER...SORRY I LEFT YOU ALL HANGING BUT I HAVE AN IDEA FOR THE NEXT PART. STAY AWESOME!!)
