AN: Thank you for reading, if there is anything I didn't answer feel free to message me or review with the question. If you want any one shots about Varek or Vivians time away from Spock, or Spocks and Vareks reaction to her coming back to earth, or something else, let me know. I might be able to work something out. :)

I'm working on a KirkxOC story. Don't know when that will be coming.

Episode 19 : Epilogue

Time Heals all Broken Things

Varek had just been accepted to Starfleet Academy and Vivian had been dreading this day. Of course she was happy for him, what mother wouldn't be proud of their son. She feared he would have her luck and run into as much trouble as he possible could get into, but he was older and so was she it was time for him to start his own life. Didn't mean she was going to worry any less.

That's what brought her to earth on this sunny summer day. Varek would start the academy at the end of the summer, and what Varek and Spock didn't know was that she would be returning to the Acadamy as a professor. Spock Prime had been helping her prepare with out Varek and Spock knowing what she was planning. She wanted to surprise them. She knew Varek would find this amusing and on some level she knew Spock would as well.

She had managed to find a few old friends to chat with, but when she got to the Cafe she was surprised by who turned up. She was only expecting two or three people but she saw Dell sitting across from Lola. She wondered how odd it was for them to see each other but time heals old wounds. She saw her other five friends chatting with them, Dell saw her first and waved her over. She smiled before joining them at the table. The table was a little awkward at first but conversation soon caught up with them.

She hadn't seen Dell in years but she had been keeping track of his published work in the science field and he was heading out to the newest deep space station in a weeks time. He was seeing someone but he hadn't gotten remarried as far as he would say.

Lola she had found out had re-married and had a son that just turned 15 and she was happy for her. Past mistakes were forgiven, they were too old for petty jealousy and competition. She caught up with them filing them in on what she'd been up to. Some knew her crazy adventures others were amazed. She felt a little odd telling stories, she felt almost as if she was bragging so she moved the conversation on. As they spent the day in the Cafe they didn't feel the night should end so they went to the one place that held the most meaning to all of them. The bar they all saw each other in before heading their separate ways all those years ago.

The bar was filled with fresh recruits and officers many like them, reconnecting with old friends. The bar was hot and she knew she would sweaty by the end of the night. They drank and danced like they were fresh graduated cadets. Vivian felt the years slip away and she felt young again, not that she felt particularly old. She just enjoyed the small freedom for the night. As the bar slowly died down they all sat at their table and ordered one last drink. She slumped into her chair laughing and bumping with a few of her friends. She needed this night to remind her of her youth and how far she'd come. She wasn't the engineer that always got captured anymore. She had a beautiful family and wonderful career she wouldn't change a thing.

"To the Future." They clanked their glasses and drank deep from their glasses, before departing ways.
