startrek_diary(Okay not really.)
LAST TIME ON HS AU:
-A science competition ended with Gary Mitchell's Team Redwall as the winner, showcasing an orbital bagel slicer.
-Caroline McKenna and Tony Giotto, a student and teacher, began a clandestine relationship - one that involves not touching until he leaves the school... in May.
-Hikaru Sulu and Pavel Chekov faced down zombies, aliens, Spock and the mafia to prove that their love is true.
-Egged on by McKenna, Jim Kirk ran away to Iowa, but got dragged back by Chris Pike, a teacher at the school. Also, he's totally boinking Leonard McCoy.
-Also boinking: Christine Chapel and Emo!Spock, Josiah Tormolen and Rajell Singh (who may or may not grow up to become Khan? WHO KNOWS!), Richard "Ricky" Ensyne and Kevin Riley.
-School Principal Jonathan Archer was a were-beagle, but they cured him. WITH SCIENCE!
-John Kyle, Montgomery Scott, Nyota Uhura, and Janice Rand were also there.
-There were zombies, Naked!Kirk, two school dances, some aliens who stole pants for no reason, a were-beagle, some kindergartners, and a LOT OF FUCKING ANGST!
As we pick up, it is February 13. Tomorrow, or course, is the dreaded VALENTINES DAY. It has been three and a half months (since November 1) since we last saw our heroes. What has changed? Who is still together? Who has pissed who off, and how?
Also worth noting: the school has been chosen to send three students into space to visit the Copernicus Ship Yards, which orbit the moon. Archer is in charge of making this choice, and everyone has been sucking up to him to earn the privilege. Who will go? The answer will be announced at the Valentine's dance, on Friday the 15th.
Y'all up for some drama?

Bloodsports. Ick. At least wait until I get my medical degree before you start hacking bits of flesh off each other. I hate to sound like Bones but Klingons have natural antibodies to fight infection, Humans don't.
Mumbles is adorable! I'm so using that. He can't nerve pinch me, I'm his girlfriend. Good news from Antonio?

That's hilarious. And I was a six-year-old girl once. A six-year-old whose daddy wasn't the best at saying no. There was at least one instance where I remember eating so much sugar I got the shakes.
And one situation where I may or may not have put on my brother's basketball uniform and run around the house claiming to be a "stooperstaw."
You're laughing at me, aren't you?
And I didn't have a mother to disapprove. Dad got to approve of his own actions. :)

We don't cut each other, Chrissy. We're working with practice blades.
No news, really. He's taking Lucy to dinner and invited me to crash.
Nyota says I'm making good progress with the Italian lessons. I think I'm going to actually tell him I'm learning tomorrow. It's romantic, right? You're the pro at this.

I am laughing at you. (You should have got your head in the game.) You really shouldn't tell me these things when I'm in class, kid. These freshman already think I'm a bit weird without me laughing at you while they're testing.
Vivi gets final say in Lucy's welfare, but she wasn't the one ticked off (she thought it was funny).

At six, I wasn't into HSM yet. That was a pre-teen thing. Matt and Cal were around more when I was little, and they wouldn't have stood for it.
They were more likely to show me Halloween than something age-appropriate. ("It's about your birthday, Caro! You'll love it!" Sadistic bastards.)
And you are a bit weird. That's one of the more charming things about you.

Aw! Very romantic. Nyota's going to have made so much money by the end of this holiday, what with Kiki trying to scrape some Russian together. She's going to have enough for a new hovercar at least.
You and Antonio and little Lucy is cuter than anything, you know. I know you hate looking that far forward, but you'd be such a brilliant stepmother.

NO NO NO NO.
I'm TEN years older than her. I cannot deal with being her stepmother. Ever. Even if I grow up and marry Tony, I'd NEVER make Lucy call me her step-anything.

You wouldn't have to make her call you anything. Although, she'd probably just end up calling you Carrie anyway. Imagine Lucy at your age, though. That would be so weird! She'd be at this school... crushing on a teacher? Maybe a really old Archer? Ew, then Archer would be your step-son or something.
You're going to have really odd Thanksgiving dinners.

Oh really? And what are these other more charming things about me?
Your brothers sound a bit like mine. I vote they never, ever meet.
Caro?

Well, you're a total sap. You look at me like I'm the greatest thing that ever happened to you. And you speak Italian. That's kinda charming.
My brothers? Cal isn't going to cause any trouble. Matt, on the other hand. Well. We'll deal with that if we have to.
Caro is what Matt calls me. He's the only one who can get away with it, though. And only when he wants something. Don't get any ideas.

Remind me never to read your mind. It is a scary and a bad place.
Oh, god. What if it was Pike? Can you imagine him dating anyone, ever?
no subject
Date: 2009-08-28 12:59 am (UTC)Recipient: McKenna, Caroline
Wouldn't dream of it. Besides, it's too close to Lucy's middle name (and my great-grandmother's first name) to be practical.
I speak Italian because I spent most of my childhood in Venice. And you are the greatest thing that's ever happened to me, or somewhere in the top three, at least. ('Being born' and 'Lucy' are the other contenders.)
I'm not a sap, I'm a romantic.

Pike? No way. He'd never get a woman. He's clueless when it comes to other people. Remember, he's so crap at being a foster dad that he keeps dropping Pav off at our house. I think my mom and him served on a ship together once. She doesn't really talk about it much.
I'm sure she's really pissed that he keeps dropping off this extra mouth to feed, but like she'd ever say anything to a superior. Sometimes he stays over as well. (I don't think he can cook and I think my mom doesn't want Pav to starve.) Those are awkward meals.
I hope your Valentine's Day meal will be romantic even if Lucy's there. Play happy 'messed up' families.

I have one of those names that has about four million nicknames (Carrie, Caro, Carr, Caz, and once, before I threatened to break his arm, Kirk called me "Rolly") and none of them are any good. Well, Caz isn't terrible. But John is the only one who calls me that.
Just because there's a reason doesn't mean it's not charming as hell.
You mean that? You're shamelessly flattering me, aren't you? You're kinda amazing. I hope you know that.
You are a sap. I kinda like it.

Huh. You don't think this Pike at your house thing is contributing to your mom's weirdness? Maybe she's reconnecting with her old Fleetmates?

I guess I'm fortunate. There are about four abbreviations for Antonio and everyone just sort of settles on Tony. (Except, as mentioned before, my grandparents and brother. And, apparently, Chapel now.)
Really? I've never given it any thought, actually. Like I said, I grew up speaking it.
Just because it's flattering doesn't make it less true. Though if I'm not careful I'm going to start sounding like my brother.

Can you please stop being so in love? It's making the muscles that make me go 'awww' get RSI.
If she's dating someone from the old ship my dad would know who it's most likely to be. He was their navigator, after all. Although, my mum and dad aren't on great terms at the moment (what with my grandmother being on planet and still pissed that I was born out of wedlock). Maybe I should ask him... urgh. I don't know if I really want to know, no? What if it's some grumpy idiot who I hate?

Chrissy is way more focused on the fact that her mom is apparently dating someone and her house is being invaded by Pav and Pike every few days or so. And disturbing me with ideas of having Archer as a step son-in-law. She's not going to focus on casting you as the lead of her sad internal romance novel.
Well, I was going to wait til tomorrow to tell you, but mi è stato imparare l'italiano per voi. Voglio sempre capisco. I hope I got that right.
Is your brother a giant cheeseball, then? I guess when you don't get any looks, you have to fake it with "charm" and stuff.

The fact that we're in love is the only thing getting me through this "not being able to be with him" phase.
You could ask, I guess. And just because she's dating doesn't mean you have a new father. If she's happy, isn't that what matters?

Siete molto possibilmente la persona che più stupefacente mi sono incontrato mai e continuate a sbalordirli ogni giorno.
Ha. Um, yes. That's Rin. He believes himself to be the epitome of manliness and charm. I don't suppose it matters. The sort of women it attracts are his type anyway. (And he's turned it down since he married Marga. She's good at keeping him in line.)
I'm rather relieved to know that I'm not starring in a romance novel written by one of my students, though to be honest the thought hadn't crossed my mind.
What's this about Pike being at Chapel's house all the time?

I guess so. I mean, I want her to be happy. But it's just... she's my mom you know? And she's not good at the dating thing. She's always been so career orientated. I don't want some guy breaking her heart. I'm very protective of my mother. (Not as much as Spocky though. That boy has serious mommy issues.)

So how long have you been dating Chapel's mother?

I've been studying with Nyota since November. Per te, amore mio.
Your brother sounds like an interesting guy. I can't wait to meet him.
Chrissy lives in a world where everything is ROMANCE all the time. While, on the one hand we owe her for convincing me that I should be with you, it sometimes get a little silly. Don't take it personally.
As for Pike and Chrissy:

Then she said other things. But they were silly girl things. I don't know. It stresses her out to have him be there, I think.

Spock is a mama's boy? Have you met his mom? She's human, right?
And your mom doesn't need to be good at dating, she has you. You're the queen of romantic crap, remember? We just have to figure out how to convince her to admit that she's dating.

E lo avete denominato una linfa.
There are certain things I never, ever wanted to know about Chris Pike and that was one of them.
>>Sometimes he stays over as well.
Come on, kid. Tell me you're not really that dense.
(If you don't mind, I'm going to put as much time between now and when you meet Rin as possible.)
