Ruth the Fighter (Star Trek)

On the way

((I am going to time skip to when she is traveling to the enterprise))

All of the new ensigns are getting on the shuttles to get to our new ships. I am on a shuttle with a Klingon female and a human male. It is hard to be in a shuttle with a Klingon. You can't even look at her without her freaking out at you.

"So... what are your names?" I asked in a quite voice.

"Why must you know?!" The Klingon yelled. "I mean its not like we have to be friends of anything."

"It takes 4 hours to get to the Enterprise. So I thought we could talk it would make thing go faster. But if you would like to remain silent for that period of time you have the right to." I said in the most logical voice I could.

"Ugh...fine" she mumbled under her breath. "The names Duskall. And I would assume your name is like "idiot face" or something along those lines?" She smiled in a rude way.

I found that quite insulting to say the least. I'm actually really surprised she got into Starfleet.

" My name is Ruth. And what about you human? What is your name?"

" Clarence" he said in the most handsome voice I had ever heard.

Clarence was probably the closest thing I have ever had to a crush. His perfect strawberry blonde hair is not too red, but also not too blonde. His deep hazel eyes consumed me as an ocean would during a hurricane. Don't even get me started on his jaw line. It looks like it could give you a paper cut just by looking at it. He has only said one word, but he seems perfect. And I will probably never get to know him well. But for now i can enjoy just watching from afar. My girl friends would be proud.

After we all introduced ourselves the computer started making a noise "BEEP! BEEP! This shuttle will be lifting of in five minutes."

Xxx half an hour later xxX

"So Ruth" Clarence said "are you Romulan or Vulcan?"

"Vulcan." I said quickly

"Huh... I generally don't say this but your pretty cute for an alien." He said teasingly. I could feel my face blush a light shade of green.

" Oh cut it out you two." Duskall said interrupting our moment. "Its been 25 minutes since we left and you two are already aimlessly flirting with each other."

"Yeah well its not my fault she is adorable" Clarence exclaimed. I think it's so cute how he protects me! But there is no time for it now.

"Stop fighting!" I said " the three of us are going to have to work together on the enterprise! So we should at least try to get along!"

"Fine" Duskall mumbled. She was very unhappy. Klingons just expect everything to be their way. They don't always think about others.

We didn't really talk after that.

Xxx 3 and a half hours later xxX

We're are almost there! We are nearly on the Enterprise! I am so nervous. I feel like I'm going to throw up.

The computer started talking again "the shuttle will be opening in 5 minutes."

"Are you guys excited?! Because I am!" I said on a shaky voice

"I didn't think Vulcans got excited." Duskall said in a sarcastic voice. I really don't like her.

"I think you are mistaken, I am still a humanoid being with emotions. We just choose not to display them publicly"

"Are you sure your not a Ferengi?"

"Thats it!" I yelled and punched her across the face. At first she was shocked, but then she started laughing. I giggled awkwardly. I looked over at Clarence for a split second. He looked very confused at what had just happened.

"I didn't know you had it in you Ruth." Duskall said roughly as she pat me on the back. It hurt. I wasn't going to tell her that though. "Maybe your not so weak after all, maybe your cut out to be security?"

"I'm just a plain old science officer. I could never be security."

"Never say never. You seem like fighter to me." That was probably the wisest thing Duskall had ever said. This may be weird to say, but I might have made a new friend.
