It felt like no time had passed at all, but it had been years. Sara was making her way toward her final examination, and walking down the old familiar paths gave her plenty of time to think. She remembered being younger and waiting with her family for the response to her Starfleet Academy application. It seemed to take forever, but that was just a young mind anticipating all her dreams either coming true… or not. She remembered the celebration that followed her acceptance arriving.
She had studied to be one of Starfleet’s doctors. She’d studied hard and would only find out if it had paid off at the end of an exam. For all that studying, for all the late nights with her roommate, she still had a small doubt she would make it. She still held a small doubt that any of it was real to begin with. Maybe getting into the Academy and making it this far had all been a dream.
She found herself in front of the auditorium doors and forced herself through. She’d made it this far. She put herself in the line to speak with the Academy superintendent. It seemed to move swiftly and then she was face-to-face with Captain Allen herself. “Cadet Sara Kiernan reporting for final examination, sir!” She had rehearsed the line before leaving that morning and still wasn’t happy how it came out. Too late for a redo.
