First of all, I want to thank @Juliet22Fujioka for reading this story. I logged on to Wattpad and literally had a mini heart attack seeing the number of notifications I got! And 501 reads!!! Wow, all this love is really boosting my ego ;)

Oh, and since I can see the demographics now, I want to say hello to all my UK,Sweden, Australia, and US readers! Thanks a bunch for reading this fic! Hope it's not getting boring though!

Now, on with the chapter!

It had been a while since the 'library incident', as Kathy now called it. Christmas preparations were in full swing at Star Fleet, and even the Professors seemed to be excited. Well, all but Professor Spock at least. He appeared emotionless, as always. 

Kathy chewed on her lip as she sat on a chair in a living room. The past dew days were strange for the young Cadet; what with all the thoughts and dreams she would get about a certain pointy- eared Commander. It seemed as though she was now a 'Spockoholic'.

Kathy had been positive that she was loosing her last fiber of sanity. The very thought of Spock scared and excited her at the same time. After having a particularly embarrassing though about her sister's mate- insert pain in the chest here; Kathy had chosen to do what she would ideally never do. 

She decided to go to the psychiatrist.

Now there she was, fiddling with the sleeves of her black jacket as she peeked through the hood to  looked around nervously. A boring, monotonous voice echoed across the room.

"Whitlock, Katherina."

"Uh... that would be me. Just Kathy would do though", Kathy said. 

"This way, Ms. Whitlock", the lady, who seemed to be a housekeeper more than an assistant, said.

Well, so much for trying to act normal.

Kathy walked into a room and sat on one of the chairs, eyeing the lady in front of her with what seemed to be curiosity with a mixture of horror. Kathy was beginning to regret this now. 

Why you may ask?

Because the lady was a Vulcan. A frickin' Vulcan.

"Ah thank you for showing her in Sia!" 

The lady merely blinked and bowed her head before walking out of the room and closing the door behind her. The woman chuckled and gave Kathy a sweet smile.

"Hello, what's your name?" 

"I- er, Kathy, Dr...."

"Ah, Dr. Grayson. But there is no need for any formalities, my dear. Call me Audrey."

Kathy gave her a weak smile. Audrey smiled back patiently, waiting for Kathy to begin.

"It kinda sounds silly now that I think of it..." Kathy whispered, making the doctor laugh.

"Oh none of that, Kathy. No problem is ever silly. Go on, I wont judge."

Kathy gulped and began.

"Well... er, there's this guy and I- well you see, I sorta like you know, like, I-" Kathy continued to stutter, making Audrey laugh. 

"You like him."

Kathy blushed scarlet and confidently said a no. Audrey merely raised a brow at that. 

"Well, I don't like you know, like like him, but I have these crazy feelings an they're getting out of hand and I have no clue what to do! I mean this isn't normal I've never been this way before!"

Audrey looked at her slack- jawed. 

"Girl, please do not tell me you've never had a crush!"

"...does Loki count?"

Audrey let out a sigh, shaking her head. 

"Wow, you really do need help... now, describe what you feel to me."

Kathy looked appalled. 

"I feel... I... I just- Norns I have no clue what I feel! I'm having these crazy jitters when I even think about him, and I get goosebumps when I dream of him-"

"You dream of him?"

"Yes."

Audrey observed her. 

"You're part Circian aren't you, that just might explain the dreams. You could be psychic."

Kathy scowled and shook her  head. 

"Nope, no special powers in here."

Audrey observed Kathy for a moment, before letting out a sound of recognition. 

"Wait... do you go to Star Fleet?"

Kathy frowned. 

"Um... yes?"

Audrey's eyes widened more, as she gawked at Kathy. 

"Can you tell me the species of the guy you like?"

Kathy scowled a her, not wanting to reveal to much. Upon seeing the doctor's pleading expression, Kathy sighed and gave up, giving her the answer (albeit unwillingly).

"Vulcan."

Audrey shrank into her seat for a moment before sitting up straight as though she had a Eureka moment. She then smiled at the younger woman cheekily, as though she knew something that Kathy didn't.

"You my dear, have a crush. Case closed."

Kathy let out an angry puff of air, stubbornly refusing to acknowledge the truth. 

"You know I'm right!!!" Audrey said in a sing- song tone, making Kathy sigh in defeat. 

"I guess I have to accept reality", Kathy began, making Audrey smile eagerly, "and start working on changing it."

Audrey's jaw dropped in shock as Kathy smiled smugly at her, before collecting her belongings to exit the room.

"I hope you don't mind me calling you for advice", Kathy asked over her shoulder, receiving a suprised 'no' from the Vulcan. Kathy grinned cheekily.

"God day, Audrey."

Audrey blinked a couple of times before getting up and running after the young Cadet. She truly was something else.

*** ***

Spock stepped into the lobby of a lavish apartment, his hands clasped behind his back as per usual, only to bump into someone. His hands automatically reached out to catch her shoulders to keep her from falling.

"Ah, Spock!" A brunette cried out, a large grin spreading over her face as her 5'7 frame draped itself over Spock. Spock's lips quirked up into his version of a smile as he placed a hand on her lower back before pulling away to look at his sister's hazel- brown eyes.

"How are you faring, sister?"

The woman rolled her eyes. "Spock, you're only 30 minutes elder than me, no need to show off! Enough with the sister!"

Spock's eyes sparkled as he tilted his head to look down at his sister. "Very well then, Audrey."

Spock snapped his head in the direction of the elevator, which had 'dinged' open, only to find Kathy, who was dressed in black jeans and a black hoodie. He then narrowed his eyes at his cheeky looking sister, who now made her way towards the Cadet.

"Kathy! Come meet my brother!" 

Without even giving the poor girl a chance to respond, Audrey yanked her forward, making the hood fall back, revealing long, curly strands of hair.

"This is my brother, Spock. Spock, this is Kathy", Audrey said, making introductions- not that there was a need for that.

Chocolate brown met honey brown, as both Commander and Cadet stared at each other with something akin to longing. Audrey stood in the sidelines, grinning like a Cheshire cat. No one looked away for a moment, and the world came to a stand still. Kathy was the first to snap out of it (and it took lot of self control, mind you) as she took a tiny, unnoticeable step backwards, tugging at her sleeves awkwardly.

"Ah'ma late Audrey", Kathy drawled quietly. Spock suppressed a shiver. "Ah gotta go."

And with that, Kathy all but ran away, giving the two of them awkward yet polite smiles on her way out. She didn't dare to look back, even though she felt someone's eyes piercing her head. Spock didn't look away till the Circian was out of sight, before turning back to his sister, who stood there with a proud grin on her face.

"I believe you have organised this on purpose", Spock stated plainly. 

Audrey chuckled. "You know me too well, brother. Besides, I was just playing Cupid!" 

Spock resisted the urge to roll his eyes as he followed his sister towards the door, ready to take her for some coffee as promised. He did not understand human vernacular, but knowing his twin, it probably had something to do with love.

That thought fueled the gear of imagination in Spock's mind, conjuring vivid scenarios, much to the half- Vulcan's horror. 

Needless to say, that alone was enough to set fire to the lower half of Spock's body. 

Especially there.

So, I hope you like it! I know, I said I'd do a Christmas chapter, but I just had to write this down. And just to clarify, I do have plans for Audrey... which I shall not reveal. She too will get her fair share of drama, of course. Wouldn't want to be unfair now, would we? ;) Anyways, the next part will be a Christmas chapter. I'm 95% sure. Maybe 80%. Or 70%. I know it's not reassuring, but I'm trying to do my best here. There are so many ideas swimming around in my head that I'm having trouble trying to fit them all together. Anyhow, I love guys! 

VIRTUAL HIGH- 5 TO ALL SPOCKOHOLICS!!! ;)

All The Love,

Kit_Kat
