I don't own anything or anyone besides Seraphina Lilly Jones

With the rouge time traveling Nero no longer a threat to anyone Starfleet determined the entire crew of the U.S.S Enterprise deserved a much need break; whether or not those aboard the Enterprise agreed. Captain James T. Kirk was furious at this news however Commander Spock thought it was a wise choice on the part of Starfleet, some of the crew would of course need therapy. The events were quite traumatic. Captain Kirk himself would greatly benefit from therapy but every time Spock attempted to broach the topic he was immediately rebuffed, no matter how logical his argument.

Humans, they are the most illogical of beings.

After coming to terms, somewhat, with their required shore leave Kirk decided to 'help tutor' at the Starfleet Academy, however given that he said this with a wink Spock knew Kirk was not focused on the education of the cadets but rather their corruption. Spock had chosen to resume his previous duties of running various drills with cadets, like the Kobayashi Maru, and also took the place of another Vulcan teaching Vulcan history. Professor T'Shail had chosen to go to New Vulcan to help with the repopulation of their race. Spock couldn't deny he felt a similar call of duty but Alternate time line Spock had helped him follow his emotions instead. He had more to offer at Starfleet Academy; he was only half-Vulcan after all.

"Spock! Wait up!" Kirk called down the busy hallway.

"Yes Captain?" Spock addressed him formally as he always did.

"Enough with that, we're not on the ship. It's Kirk or Jim." Kirk reminded him.

"You clearly wanted my attention Cap- Kirk, what can I do for you?" Spock asked getting to the point.

"Oh, I just saw you and I thought I'd say hi." Kirk was a bit confused by Spock.

"Very well then, hello." Spock turned and began on his way again.

"Well not just to say hello and walk off. That'd be pointless." Kirk said following Spock, "Are you headed to you class? Why you chose to give lectures and grade papers during our shore leave is beyond me."

"Yes I am going to my class as I have my first class in approximately 10.57 minutes. I chose to teach during our shore leave because it was the most logical choice. I have an advanced knowledge of combat situations and Vulcan history. It is only logical that I share that knowledge with other members of Starfleet." Spock responded his face a cool emotionless mask as per usual.

"Logical? Sure. Fun? No, not even a little bit. Wouldn't you rather chase some tail with me? It would help you get over your break up with Uhura."

Everyone knew about Spock and Uhura's break up within 24 hours after the fact. For some reason Kirk kept insisting that Spock needed help 'getting over' her. Kirk didn't know anything about Vulcan's, it was a surprise to Spock that he'd passed his classes at all. Yes ending his relationship with Uhura had saddened him for an hour or two but had been an amicable breakup that they both agreed was necessary. Uhura wanted a relationship where a marriage would eventually take place and since she was not Spock's bond-mate he could not proved her with what she wanted. They would remain close friends, but nothing more.

"Kirk I do not need help 'getting over' Lt. Uhura." Spock began to explain to the young and brash Captain.

"I just think you need someone to-" Kirk was cut off as they rounded the corner and ran into a cadet, or rather she ran into Spock…

Seraphina Lilly Jones was pissed. Not even her first day back at Starfleet academy and someone had already stole one of her most prized possessions; a silver bracelet give to her by her grandmother on her 18th birthday, it had been in the family for over two hundred years. She spent the majority of her morning rifling through all her belongings until she came to the conclusion that someone must have stolen it. She had it in her bag before the Jet took off and now it was gone.

Throwing her long chestnut hair into a ponytail Seraphina ran out of her dorm room and made a mad dash down the many hallways. She would not be late to her first class. Being late was a big no-no at Starfleet, it apparently showed irresponsibility. She had been on the receiving end of one too many of these lectures during her first two years, she was not about to start her third year the same way. In hindsight though, looking at her watch and running around a corner was not a good idea, in fact it was a terrible choice.

She ran straight into someone who felt a lot like a stone wall, she'd know 'cause she done that before to, and nearly landed on her ass when said stone wall reached out and grabbed hold of her.

Kirk was more than confused by the next series of events. First of all, Spock never would have reached out to steady a frazzled cadet, and touching was a big deal to Vulcan's wasn't it? Secondly, Spock wasn't just touching her uniform; he had grabbed hold of her hand, her bare hand, as in skin to skin contact. In Vulcan standards that was more or less a kiss right? Or at least that's what Uhura said. God why didn't he pay more attention? Thirdly, Spock was looking into the cadets big sky blue eyes like he had been peering into her soul and found the answer to life. Nothing good could come from this. Or at least that's what Kirk thought.

Spock could not believe the instant connection that formed upon grabbing the small brunette's hand. A surge of primal instinct and emotion came into the forefront of his mind. Before he could stop and assess the situation his mind had already posed the question, 'T'hy'la?' If she responded, then Spock just found his bond-mate.

'What the hell was that?' Seraphina thought to herself before realizing that that had not been her own thought. It was his, the Commanders. Quickly searching in her brain for the word she found its English definition, 'Soul mate?'

'Yes.' Spock answered her, struggling to keep his emotions at bay.

"Shit." Seraphina said out loud before ripping her hand from the Vulcan's and having a panic attack, "Ummm, I mean…No running in the halls…yeah…I'll stop that." She stumbled over her words as she all but took off running once again.

"What the hell was that?" Kirk questioned his First Officer seriously.

"She is my T'hy'la." Spock mumbled more so to himself, still in a bit of a daze.

"T'hy'la?" Kirk asked; he really should have paid more attention to Uhura when she was talking.

"Soul mate." Spock supplied before quickly heading to his own class.

Kirk stood alone in an empty hallway, trying to fathom what just happened. Spock apparently just found his soul mate; wait, no, Spock HAS a soul mate… that just sounded odd.

Seraphina had run into the nearest woman's restroom and dove into an open stall and sat down. Taking in several deep breaths she attempted to calm herself. Screw being late to class she sure as hell wasn't showing up now! This was not happening, she repeated over and over. The half-Vulcan Commander did not just form some sort of psychic connection just by touching her, and he didn't call her his soul mate. Nope. That did not happen. Putting out one hand she watched for a moment as her hand shook uncontrollably. Okay maybe that did just happen, she thought. It could be worse…but yeah this was pretty bad or pretty good? A small part of her was doing a ridiculous victory dance but it was getting shoved aside by a large part screaming 'you're in your third year at Starfleet Academy, he's a Commander, pretty sure he's one of your teachers, what if he makes you move to New Vulcan? Or worse yet screws with her chance at having a career in Starfleet?' the small voice spoke up 'I know something he could screw!' Seraphina shook her head. All she wanted was to complete the academy, and get on a good ship but that damn irritating little voice kept saying 'get on Spock instead'!

Okay so it's not that long but I just had to get this up! Please let me know what you think and if you want me to continue! I'll try to make this as unique as possible, just hang in there! Review, review, review!
