Jim had been half tempted to hold up a picture of Spock and start asking around, ‘have you seen this Vulcan? He’s this tall…uses logic…no its not that one…he’s too Vulcan..’ Yeah, that sounded like a dumbass plan. Moving along from that Kirk traveled a bit further.
He paused in stride as he wiped away sweat from his forehead. It was hot, really hot on this planet, and here he was all dressed up in his Starfleet uniform. He’d been more comfortable wearing street clothes. At least then, he’d somewhat fit in.
Then again, as the people around him passed by, he’d just stand out more. Taking a deep breath, he was about to venture forward when his sight caught hold of Spock.
“Spock!” he exclaimed excitedly, moving past vulcans, trying not to invade their personal space. Once he reached his first officer, all logic, and self control disappeared. He knew Spock wasn’t keening on touching unless it was necessary. Like choking Jim.
Kirk settled his hands on Spock’s shoulders. His grin was so wide it could stretch to the moon. Which the Colony still lacked. Vulcans and moons didn’t meld well together, “Spock, its great to see you friend!” settling down in his glee, Kirk realized his mistake of the no-touching-vulcan-zone, let his hands fall to his side.
“So, did you get..whatever it was that you were doing here finished?” he asked, gesturing to Spock’s attire. “Nice robes.”

After a while janice started getting tired of walking and jabbing her heels into the cobblestone. "Damnit!" She thought to herself She should have worn more sensible shoes, but what the hell did she know that vulcan was all cobblestones. She let go of the drooling redshirts Arm and looked around, He was no where to be seen. She was about to move in a direction until she saw this lady selling hand made beaded necklaces. "ooh!" she exclaimed while yanking the Redshirt by his wrist in the lady's direction. "pretty!"

 "Now sounds perfect!", she responded as she linked arms with Scotty and walked along with him to the cafeteria. Unfortunately there weren't very many options if one wanted to go somewhere to eat on the Enterprise. "What are you in the mood for?", she asked suggestively.
((Got struck by a bit of writer's block. Sorry. D: ))

Spock looked up at Jim and let his realization kick in before a giant grin appeared on his face “JIM!” he said excitedly as he and put his hands on Kirks shoulders. A few seconds later he quickly pulled away from Kirk and acted casually as if nothing emotional had just occurred.
He put his hands behind his back and raised his eyebrow. “Everything I had to take care of is finished Captain. Are you the only one who beamed down? And thanks…these are required of me to wear.“

"and i'll take this... and this.. Oh! If i give you my earings can i have this too?" Janice asked. The Poor redshirt that she once used as a support beam, was now her personal bag holder. "Thank you!" Janice said to one of the vulcan women that had help her pick out a fan. " Only on vulcan you can trade MAC lipstick for a fan." she said fanning herself. She looked over at the redshirt to see he was burried in bags. "Oh crap.." she whispered. Janice then took a couple of bags for her to carry herself. The redshirt gasped for air while wobbling around behind her. "Oh you poor dear.." she said with sympathetic eyes. "Let me take some more bags.." she said taking more bags from the flustered redshirt.
After looking at her watch she realized all the time she wasted. It relieved her that she didnt give her watch away too for that hat she liked. 'bugger.." she thought. The captains gonna kill me, she thought running as fast as she could towards where they first beamed down. Her heels scraping against the cobblestone. After a couple of seconds of running Janice finally saw Kirk... And.. Is that spock?! "SPOCK!" she yelled out running even faster. She completely forgot about the poor carrier mule of a redshirt that was heaving out of breath behind her. "omg! its so happy to see you!" she said throwing her bags on the floor while something shattered and continued to hug him.

He wouldn’t comment on Spock’s emotional outburst at seeing him as well. That’d kill the mood and the fact that vulcans were to be hush hush on the emotion. Jim smiled, locking the secret away.
“Oh, no…You really think they would let me come down alone?” he raised a brow, mimicking Spock. “Ah, Uhura, Janice, Nia, and a few red shirts to keep guard…” it had always been a weird regulation, but to hell with it. Kirk was going to cut them off next time they beamed down to Vulcan.
It was peaceful damnit and armed guards did not give the best image. Its like, HEY FEDERATION HERE BITCHES. Kirk could live with that statement on other planets but not here.
“Ah, required? Where can I get some?” Kirk joked. Unable to help the jolly in him he smacked Spock’s shoulder. “So, you going to show me around, or what?” he might be able to catch sight of future Spock and get answers out of him.
Future Spock went under a false name. He had gotten a message awhile back, informing Kirk to what it was, in case he should call upon him. Secrets. “Oh! I ah…I’m curious, do you know where I can find a Vulcan named Selek?” That sounded right. “Not saying I don’t want you..its just..ah, I have a question for him…over….” His eyes darted trying to think of a damn good excuse.
“…the plant hor-naj-kla?” he stated in question. Jim quickly went into the lie, head first, “I mean, its for Starfleet..they want it in their database and he has the best knowledge of it…”
And Jim wasn't going to get a reply or that look since Janice had appeared on the scene, saving him a few minutes, seconds to spare before the all knowing look stared upon him.

Spock stiffened up when Janice ran to him and hugged him. He looked down at her and noticed a giant smile on her face. He hated to admit it but he missed everyone on the enterprise and just seeing Kirk and Janice excited for his return made him feel a sense of belonging. One he longed to have for all his life.
Snapping out of his thoughts, he looked back up at Kirk and remembered the question. “selek?” He said confused. “I am afraid I have never heard of a Vulcan named Selek. Is this someone you have met captain?

(Yaaay! I love dat widdle girl vulcan. <3)
Nia felt her heart in her throat. It was starting to get really tough to breathe. Her pace was now slowing down as some sweat started to crawl down her cheek. Her green hues looked around, finally spotting a red shirt with a lot of bags. Then, Janice came into view, then the Captain, and then Spock. She continued to hum, as she made her way over to the group, pushing her way through without invading any of the other Vulcan's space. She was now standing lightly behind the red shirt. "...I..I found you all. I win." she joked, her nerves finally calming down, but her breathing was still heavy and slow. ----------------------------------------

Future Spock, you are the weakest link, goodbye! Damnit, Kirk had hoped this would be a simple, point me in the right direction but of course not. He did recall that the other Spock wanted to keep his existence from his Spock, so that there wasn’t any time space destroying s**t happening.
So far, he’d been lucky and hadn’t spilled the beans. Though his thoughts dispersed slightly when Janice had to hit and run…also for the fact of the matter she was dragging some guy around. A flicker of jealousy showed but dissolved.
Jim shrugged his shoulders, “Yes, I met him awhile back..we got acquainted.” Mind meld. He wondered what Spock would think about his future self in knowing he had done that? Whose to know. Happy? Angry? Whatever?
“So, do you know where I could go..look him up?” he inquired of his Vulcan friend. Kirk’s gaze drifted slightly, taking note of Nia, but said nothing about it.

Spock looked over at Nia and nodded as to say hello before turning back to face Kirk.
"well captain I am sure the elders would know. would you like me to lead you there?"
He sighed as he looked back towards the crowd. 'its just on the other side of this field if your ready for another perilous journey." he half smiled at him.

Janice was getting tired of walking, but she wanted to have Vulcan Couture in her closet. She was about to stop and put her bags down when she heard something very familiar. A beautiful melodic voice that shes heard before many times. "Uhura?" She questioned herself. She looked around to see a crowd of vulcans gathered around some sort of stage. "come on!" she said yanking the half dead redshirt. Im sure at this point he regretted being next to her. She made her way to the crowd bumping into people with her bags "Excuse me, sorry...Excuse me..Padrdon me.. Merci." she said making her way through, To her amazement there was uhura Singing her heart out. At that moments janice put her bags down and began to clap along. Even the Redshirt was starting to enjoy himself. That uhura can sure put on a show.

Jim nodded. This should be interesting. What if he got the same response from the elders as well? He doubted it considering the updates the Enterprise received on the Vulcan colony. Jim had seen the other Spock in a few of the holographs showing the progress of Vulcan. Guess names didn’t fly around much.
“Thanks, that’d make it easier.” He smiled. Kirk cocked his head to the side, “I’m made for perilous journeys, you should know that by now.” He needed to stretch his legs out more. Jim felt his body slowly degrading being in space already. There wasn’t much room to just let loose and party like hell.
Not saying that he would, but it would be nice to have that option.
