James Kirk’s Destiny
By Marie Nomad
Lt. Commander James Kirk was doing his duty as usual, preparing everything. It had been a very interesting day with everyone randomly bursting into song. “So, everything is ready, Jim?” Captain Pike asked.
“Yeah, Uhura is getting ready for the ‘finale,’ and hopefully, no more randomly singing. I danced with Una. It was… fun.”
“I thought you were engaged.”
“I am. Also, I… broke a heart. A girl had a crush on me.” Jim looked up at the captain’s chair. “It would be awkward if I end up becoming Captain.”
“Yeah, it might be awkward, but that’s part of the burden of being captain.”
“I know, it’s just… I know this is going to sound crazy… but I feel like being captain of this ship is my destiny.”
Music came out of nowhere, and Chris cringed as he shook his head at Jim. Jim winced as the song just barfed out of him. “This ship is my destiny! I could feel it in my core! The moment I saw this ship! I fell in love!” Chris watched as Jim sang his heart out about how he loved the ship and that he would never leave. The current captain bit his tongue since he didn’t want to accidentally reveal anything about the future.
“Oh, beautiful ship, let me captain you; let my dreams come true!” Jim finished, and he took a deep breath. “That… was awkward.”
“Yeah. I’ll leave the two of you alone,” Chris said as he smirked and then walked away, feeling confident that the ship would be in good hands.
“I’m not in love with the ship!” Jim screamed. “Really!”
Spock walked by and raised an eyebrow. “… You cannot have a physical relationship with a ship.”
“Not one word!” Jim said as his face flushed, and he walked away.
The End
