Hannah's POV
We stand in assembly with anxious excitement. This is actually going to happen. I'm standing between dad and Pavel with my hand resting in my boyfriend's. They look at each other and smile. They nod their heads to one another in mutual agreement and look back at what's happening.
Kirk has just relieved Captain Pike of his duties. He is now the captain of the USS Enterprise. We applaud in excitement for our captain. Dad, Pavel and I look at each other, preparing for the adventure we are about to embark on.
A few days later...
"Maneuvering thrusters and impulse engines at your command, sir," Mr. Sulu states.
"Weapon systems and shields on standby," Pavel announces.
"Dock control reports ready, Captain," Uhura tells Captain James T. Kirk as he steps on the bridge of the USS Enterprise.
"Bones," Jim says walking over to dad. "Buckle up."
Dad just groans and rolls his eyes. He doesn't like space, and Jim plans to tease him about it for the rest of his life. I'm standing beside him trying to hold back a laugh.
"Shut it, Hannah," he tells me. Of course, he can't help but smile when he says it.
Jim moves over to the captain's chair, and activates the coms.
"Scotty," he asks. "How're we doing?"
"Dilithium chamber's at maximum, Captain," Scotty replies. He then yells at something in the distance. "Get down!"
"Mr. Sulu," Jim orders. "Prepare to engage thrusters."
The doors to the elevator open, and Spock steps out.
"Permission to come aboard, Captain," he asks Kirk.
"Permission granted."
Spock begins to walk towards Jim.
"As you have yet to select a first officer, respectfully I would like to submit my candidacy. Should you desire I can provide character references."
"It would be my honor, Commander."
Jim turns to Sulu.
"Mr. Sulu, maneuvering thrusters."
"Thrusters on standby."
"Take is out."
"Aye-aye, Captain."
With that, Mr. Sulu turns the ship, and send us into warp... into our next adventure.
