Racheal Yamaguchi smiled as she selected the PADD she wanted and she slipped it into her duffel bag as she was waiting for Paul to come collect her, it was so they could work on homework together, she had said she would help him with stellar physics and he would help her with quantum mechanics.
She tugged on her boots as her elder sister who was passing through the kitchen looked at her. "Heading somewhere Racheal?"
"I'm waiting for a friend to come visit."
"Ahh.." Beth smiled sweetly. "Do you need anything?"
"Nope, I know how to find my way around."
Beth nodded her head as she looked at her younger sibling. "Alright, if you get lost... call home okay?"
"I will.." she said as the door beeped and Beth went to answer it. "I'll get it."
She called aloud, she smiled as she tapped the door release and she was expecting a child similar in size and stature to Racheal but she found herself smiling when she came face to face with a guy who was closer in size and mass to Gabriel and herself as she suddenly grinned at him, flashing him her most lusty smile. "Well Hello... Handsome, tell me...Are you are here to see me?." She greeted him with a cheerfull smile as she crossed her arms over her chest, she looked very much like Racheal except taller, with an ample chest and with a willowy figure which many men fell in lust with. She carried it well as she mostly wore baggy clothing, sweatshirts and the like.
"Excuse me?" He looked strangely at her as his face turned red, "Uh, don't think so. I'm here for Racheal."
Beth smiled as she dropped the act. "She's expecting you. come on in." and with that the older woman turned around and walked back into her quaters. "Racheal. you got a visitor." the larger woman addressed Racheal
who was sitting on the sofa.
Racheal jumped to her feet as she grabbed her duffel as she went over to meet Paul. "Hey..." she smiled up at him. "Whats up?"
Paul watched the older woman walk away, "Who in the heck was that?"
Racheal turned her head as she looked at the other woman who was heading into the next room. "Oh... that's Elizabeth." she responded with a smile. "She's my older sister, she, my Dad and brother stopped in for Christmas.." she sighed. "I don't see my family often enough." she sighed softlly. "I miss them..." she looked up at him. "shall we go?"
"Sure." He looked around then followed her out, "Where are we going first? Quantum or stellar?"
Racheal paused a moment as she smiled. "Steller." she responded. "it the easier of the two for me.... save the brain power for the hard stuff.." she then smiled. "So... what do you think of my sister?" as she raised an eyebrow. "Have you met my mother?"
"You're sister is okay. And no, I've never met your mother but I'm sure I will at some time."
Racheal smiled as another figure came around a corner, it was her other sibling. "Racheal.. whats up?" the larger then average male asked her.
"Oh hey Gabe." Racheal greeted him cheerfully as Gabriel turned his attention from his sister to the larger male standing next to her. "I'm Gabriel Yamaguchi.. " and he offered his hand in the human fashion.
Paul shook his hand, "I'm Paul, a friend of Racheal here."
Gabriel smiled. "Well there are the three of us and I assume you've met Beth already?"
Racheal chuckled softly. "Beth was hitting on him... rather potently too." she informed her older brother.
Paul rolled his eyes, "Great. So that's what she was doing. I just thought that she was overly friendly or something."
Gabriel chuckled softly as he sighed. "Well, you are hanging around with known nutcases. We Yamaguchi's are not known for being stable but it was
good to have met you Paul.." and with that he smiled at his sister and then he
walked off, clearly he was heading for home.
Racheal looked up at Paul. "He worries about me..." she paused. "and for good reason, with Mom offbase... I'll be home alone.." she raised an eyebrow. "Unless my mom has a congingency plan for it... which I doubt.""
He shrugged, "It'll all work out. You could always stay with my friend's dad, Vincent. He's an okay guy. "
Racheal raised an eyebrow as she looked at Paul as she could almost feel the hesitation coming from him and she suddenly felt a desperate urge to call him on what she was feeling from him but her self control slammed down and
quelched it. "I'll mention the idea to my mother... she'll want to meet the man first of course..." she sighed softly. "where we going anyway?"
"Stellar Cartography. Best place to see the universe." He smiled at her.
"Sounds cool." she responded evenly. "So... tell me about yourself?" she inquired. "What is there around here to do for fun?" she added a moment later.
"For fun? This is a starbase. There's not much here to do. You have to make your own fun." He observed her for a moment, "You certainly ask a lot of questions."
Racheal raised an eyebrow. "I do... its how I get my infomation my good man." she responded with a cheerfull smile. "I mean how else do I find things
out?. Mom taught me to keep calm, keep my wits about me and always ask questions..."
"I guess that's good advice." He led her to a room where a crewman was standing, "Sir, I was wondering if I could show her a few things. I'm trying to help her with her homework."
He smiled, "That's fine. If you need any help, let me know. I'll be over here."
Paul punched a few commands. All of the sudden, stars were all around her. Constellations, everything, it was beautiful."
Racheal looked around at darkest night as she felt almost adrift and alone in the firment as she marveled at the stars.
He pointed above, "This is basic astronomy 101. It's what we are taught in elementary school." He punched something else in and the scene changed, "This is the Delta Quadrant or at least what we know from the records of Voyager." He changed it again, "Here is the Triangle. Over there is Meja's Nebula. I've never actually been inside a nebula but with this program, you can actually see what it is like to be in one." He noticed that her eyes were like the stars around them but he was too embarrassed to tell her that.
Racheal reached out and touched a star that was within reach, it blossomed before her to an object the size of a basketball with allthe spectral infomation on the star as well as all of the planets contained within the system. "I never had acess to anything like this on my mother's last assignment."
.
He watched her and smiled, "You can learn a lot from this room. It's so much better than just seeing the facts on a PADD." He couldn't stop smiling at her, "This is going to sound really corny but your eyes match the stars."
Racheal looked at him as a smile streaked across her lips. "Its not corny as long as you believe it." She considered going over to him but she didn't want to make him any more uncomfortable. "Thanks for helping me." She looked over at him.
"You're going to help me so let say we're even." This was the first girl that he had ever felt like kissing. Paul changed the scenery once again then moved closer to her. As he stood in front of her, he pointed behind her, "This is really cool." He pointed to a meteor shower which looked like fireworks. He took her hand and held it as they watched. He looked over at her and smiled. He then pulled her closer to him and looked into her eyes once again. Waiting for the right moment, he went in for a soft kiss...hoping that it didn't end with a right cross to his cheek.
Racheal had expected Paul to do something and in truth she wasn't going to make a scene, yet as she watched the dozen or so metiors comming right towards her, she smiled as she saw Paul in her vision.
There was something about him, he was larger and more massive then she was and yet she felt accepted with him, he didn't try to impress her or flatter her with meaningless gestures, he was the way he was and didn't require anything from her.
She flinched when she felt his lips on the corner of her cheek because she had turned her head right at the last second and had he waited another half second, he would have kissed her on the lips, she smiled. "Hey..." she said quietly. "so... that was what kissing felt like..."
Blushing a little, "Usually, kissing is done on the lips. I guess I missed." He chuckled nervously.
Racheal chuckled softly as she smiled up at him. "Its alright... had I known.. I would have made it easier.... I might be twelve but Hallians develop faster then humans do... my mixed ancestry muddles the picture somewhat but... nothing serious.
Paul nodded then he asked shyly, "Can we, I mean, is it okay if I kiss you again?" He added, "Correctly?"
Racheal looked up at him, the promise of the moment held in her dusky brown eyes. "Sure.." she commented shyly as she lifted her head and closed her eyes and waited.
They stood face to face as he lifted her chin so he could get a better angle to kiss her. His lips slowly came towards hers. He paused for a few seconds, then softly touched his lips to hers and kissed her. He had never kissed a girl but it seemed so natural.
A smile blossomed on Racheals delicate face as she opened her eyes as she looked at him.
It was his first kiss. He was nervous about it but after he saw her smile, he felt more confident, "Now I get why Captain Pike is always kissing my mother. It's nice."
Racheal looked at him. "Also because he loves her..." she responded. "But I sense you somehow wonder about where you fit in with them two...." she raised an eyebrow as she looked up at him. "I have some telipathic abilities... not enough to pry into someone elses mind of course... but I can almost feel this uncertainty about you.... if you want to talk about things...let me know okay?"
"I didn't really get to know my mother until just recently, after my father died. They were divorced when I was little and dad didn't let me see mom too often. Plus it was hard to when she was in Starfleet, you know how that is. Anyway, I just been getting to know her again when Pike came along. I know I fit in somewhere, it's just hard to see it right now. That's all."
Racheal looked up at the human male standing before her. "You fit in here." she responded evenly. "Your mom has to know how you feel on the matter."
"When she is here, I'll talk to her about it, that is when she IS here. I've hardly seen her since I've been here."
Racheal gently placed her hand on his. "Then... you need to demand her attention..."
"Demand her attention? How do I do that?" He looked lost.
"You are her only son. Walk up to her and tell her that you need her." she explained as for her, this situation was unthinkable. "Why don't you come over tonight for dinner and you can spend time with my family."
"Oh-kay. As long as Beth behaves herself, I'd like that." He smiled at her.
"She will..." Racheal responded evenly. "Shall we?"
"Sure." He stuck his hand out, took Racheal's hand and held it as they exited the holodeck.
They approched a turbolift as Racheal raised an eyebrow. "So... what would you say to Beth if she started hitting on you again?" she inquired with a smile.
"Sorry but my heart belongs to Racheal." He smiled.
Racheal smiled as she turned a deep shade of chocolate. "Mmm.. well I am only twelve.. but Hallian girls develop faster then humans do... " she paused as she considered how to say it.
"That's why I don't feel funny being with you. If you were any other girl, my mom would flip out but I think that she will be fine with us."
Racheal smiled. "I'd like to meet your mother... she can't be worse then my mother."
"I'd like that. But I've never met your mother, even though I want to, so I couldn't say."
