Starstruck

Lightning storm in space

I step out of the shuttle into the Enterprise.

My breath catches in my throat at the sight of the brand new ships interior. Everything is shiny and new.

I'm so excited and can't contain it any longer so I pull Pavel to the side and do a little happy dance with him. He doesn't even mind and looks just as excited. He leans forward and whispers "are you ready for this new chapter?" I beam and hug him as an answer. We pull apart and he's smiling. He takes my hand. It feels so right To be here, on this ship, with Pavel's hand in mine. He pulls me to the desk where we pick up our PADDs and check to see where we our posts are. Well, I check, Pavel already knows. He squeezes my hand. "I have to go....are you going to be okay?" He asks.

"Yeah, I  looked at the map so I know where the Medbay is." I say.

He gives me a grin and walks towards the bridge.

I start to head to the medbay and try to contain my emotions. I'm nervous, excited, and happy at the same time......all in extreme portions.

A few minutes later, I hear a voice that makes my heart jump. " hello, I am ensign Pavel Checkhov. We have a receives a distress call from Wulcan. It is reported that they have had seismic activity and what looks like a lightning storm in space. Our mission is to assess the situation and assist in ewacuations if necessary. Thank you for your Time."
I'm walking down a winding hallway when I hear yelling.

"Jim! Wait! I need to give you another shot...." A man yells.

I see a familiar tustle of brown hair and realize who it is.

Jim Kirk bumps into me. "Oh hey Asteroid." He says casually.

"I thought you were suspended?"I ask bewildered "why are you here?"

Just then I notice his hands. They've swollen to 4 times there usual size.

"Oh my god! What's wrong with your hands?" I hear a voice squeal and I whirl around. I see a tall dark woman behind me addressing Kirk.

"Goddammit Jim, youre having an allergic reaction to the vaccine." The man, whose is wearing a blue shirt, exclaims, exasperated.

"Aha Uhura, just who I needed!" Jim starts ignoring his friend, "The other day you said you translated a romulan transmission, right?

She nods and Jim's face lights up. "I have to tell the captain!"

He starts running towards the bridge and the guy he was with yells after him.

"Wait!" He sighs and hurriedly looks at me.

"You're the new nurse prodigy?" He states more than asks, looking at my blue dress and youth.

"Uh yes." I say.

"Ok take this and come with me, if he doesn't get treated with both of these medicines he will be sick for weeks and his hands might never heal." He states as if he's talking about the weather. He starts walking off and hands me a health scanner.

"You take his vitals while I inject him"

"Uh ok..."  I say still unsure about who he is.

"I'm Astrid George." I say as we are half running half walking down the hall.

"Leonard McCoy." He says. Oh he's the senior medical officer.

I see Jim right up ahead.

We catch up right before he enters the bridge.

The door to the bridge slides open and Jim rushes in.
