Chapter 4

✴ONE DAY ELEANOR  PIKE, ONE DAY!✴

"Why are you so happy?" Bones asks Jim as they walk down the steps of the academy, he just grins at him and says "I don't know what you're talking about." clearly knowing what he's talking about, "No, I don't suppose you do.".

Ellie waits at the bottom of the steps for them, over the 3 years they've become pretty close, you could say friends, although anyone could see the way Jim and her are with each other. She looks over her shoulder and smiles at them.

"Hello Ellie." Jim gives her a rather flirty smirk walking backwards to look at her, then turns to Bones again "I'm taking the test again." he finally answers him. "You got to be kidding me" Bones says with clear annoyances, "Yeah, tomorrow morning and I want you both to be there." Jim says back to both of them.

"You know, We've got better things to do than to watch you embarrass yourself for a third time. I'm a doctor, Jim, I'm busy." Bones says tiredly, and looks to Ellie for some "help", "I have classes Jim." She looks at him with a hint of sadness, but not much. To be honest she's starting to get annoyed with this as well.

Jim turns to Bones and says "Bones, it doesn't bother you that no one's ever passed the test?", Ellie knows what the test is for but she can't tell him that, but decides to says something even if he doesn't understand it, "Jim, it's the Kobayashi Maru. No one passes the test." She states putting emphasis on "No One" hoping he'll get it through his head, 'Though I know that's a long shot.'. "and no one goes back for seconds, let alone thirds." Bones adds also hoping for them same result.

Jim walks backwards again saying with a grin "I got to study.", Ellie sighs knowing she hoped for to much, "Study my ass." she says to him. Jim grins even more as he puts both of his hands on Ellie's shoulders and turns her around so her back is now facing him. "Jim, what are you doing?" She asks, Jim gives a small chuckle before saying "Just what you told me to do, I'm studying your ass."

Ellie's eyes widen, she turns and smacks his hands away, "You're an idiot." Jim just laughs while he turns and leaves.

"Hey Ellie!" Jim calls from far away,
"What!"
"Engineering?!"
"No!"
"Damn it, one day Eleanor Pike, one day!" She smiles and shakes her head.

"We're going aren't we." Bones asks her already knowing the answer.

"Yup." and sighs 'The things I do for this boy.'.

Jim's "Studying" with a green skinned girl in her room when she suddenly says, "Ahh.. Jim, I think I love you."

Jim freezes, 'What....No, no, no. What do I say to that.'. "That's so weird." He knows probably not the best thing to say in this situation, but he panicked, and as you'd expect, she wasn't very happy.

"Lights"

Jim sighs, 'this wont be fun.'

"Did you just say "that is so weird?""

Jim sighs "Yeah, I did but I..."

"You don't love me too?"

'No'

She was about to say something when the door to the dorm opened and she turned to him and panicked, "Oh, that's my roommate." she says while slightly trying to push him of the bed.

"I thought you said she was gone for the night?".

" Well, obviously, she's not. Quick, you've got... get under the bed."

This confused Jim even more 'why?' "Under... "

"Look, under the bed."

 "C'mon"

 "She can't see you." 

 "Why not?"

 "Because I promised her I'd stop bringing guys back to the room."

'Wait. What'

"Wait, how many guys have you...?"

"Down, just down."

Just as he got under the bed her roommate who just so happend to be Uhura walks in.

"Hey." Gaila says to her trying to act normal. "Hey" Uhura says as she sits on her bed and begins to get undress, Jim looks from under the bed and recognizes who she was, 'That's Ellie's best friend, the girl she was with at the bar. What was her name again?

"How are you?" Gaila brings him out of his own thoughts, Uhura is already taking of her shirt now. "Good. The strangest thing. I was in the long-range sensor lab.." she says rather excitedly. "Yeah... I thought all night." Gaila says nervously.

"I was tracking solar systems and I picked up an emergency transmission."

"Really?" Gaila not really listening but trying to think of a way to get her to leave, or get Jim out.

"Yeah, from a Klingon prison planet."

'Oh yeah, Ellie did say she was the one in Xenolinguistics. That's pretty cool.' Jim thought

"No?" Gaila once again pulling him out of his head, "Yeah. A Klingon armada was destroyed. Forty-seven ships."

'What could do that?'

"So, you're not going back to the lab tonight?" Gaila tries to not act suspicious.

But obviously fails.

"Gaila, who is he?" Uhrua drops her shirt on her bed and turns to her.

"Who's who?"

Again trying, but failing.

"The mouth-breather hiding under your bed."

'The mouth-what. Wait she can hear me breathing?'

Jim gets up from under the bed and asks "You could hear me breathing?".

"You!" she says as she throws his cloths at him. "Big day tomorrow." smirks and catches his cloths. "You're gonna fail." she says as shes chasing him out.

"Gaila, see you around.", 'Er. Maybe not.', "Get out.", "If I pass, will you tell me what Ellie's major is?" Jim tries his luck. "No. Goodnight.".

Key word tries.

"I think the fact that you picked up a transmission is very interesting."

That's when she closes the door in his face.

'What do you see in him Ellie?' Uhura tiredly thought to herself.
