She opened her mouth to say something, but then, we heard someone shout, "JANE! That's enough time for ya'll to say bye. Get yer ass over 'ere, NOW!" "Comin', pa!" Jane replied and ran back to the building. "Erik, do me a favor." I said. "Yeah?" He asked. "Turn into a spark and zap the crap out of that man." I told him. "With pleasure." Erik replied, turning into a spark and flying towards the door. He slipped through just before Jane's dad could slam the door. The next thing we heard were screams of pain from Jane's dad, which sent us all into a fit of laughter. This continued on for about half an hour, and then Erik returned to us. "How'd I do?" He asked. "Hilarious, man! High 5!" I exclaimed. We high5ed, and then headed down the road.
"So, where are we going again?" Serenity asked. "To the space station to hi-jack a ship and get into space. You up for that?" I asked. "I suppose. What about you boys?" She asked Taylor and Tyler. "Well, I dunno..." Taylor and Tyler said in unison. She walked over to them and whispered something in their ears, which made them both smile. "Okay, we're in!" The both exclaimed at once. "Any one know which way the station is?" Kayla asked. Good point. O: Turn left. ; What are you now, Tom-Tom? ; What? ; It's a GPS thingy. ; A what? ; Something you put in your car and it tells you which way to go. ; I'm just saying, if you wanna get to the station, turn left. Although, honestly, I think we should wait here a bit longer. ; Wait, say that again! ; I think we should wait here a bit longer. ; YOU'RE telling us to stay put? Whatever happened to 'don't stop moving'? ; I know true love when I see it. ; Wait, WHAT?!? You're not taking about me and Jane, are you? We're just friends! ; Don't forget who you're talking too. I know true love when I see it. We should wait. ; This is ridiculous! I don't like her THAT way! ; Oh really? Do you know how difficult it is to keep something from me? ; I thought you couldn't get into my personal thoughts! ; I don't need to in order to see that you liked her. ; Shut up! ; Will, like it or not, this IS true love. If you abandon her, you'll NEVER meet anyone else again. ; Go bother Erik for a while. ; As you wish, but you know I'm right. ; SHUT UP!!! What was Ozad talking about? It couldn't have been true love! I like her as a friend, but not as a girl friend! ... or do I?
We arrived at the station about an hour later. W: Okay Ozad, come here. ; Yes? ; How do we get a space ship? ; Simple: Ask for one. ; I doubt they're gonna give a space ship to a bunch of teenagers and a 12 year old. ; Don't forget: We have 2 electrodes, 2 drilloids, and a pyroid. ; Are you suggesting we use our powers on these people if they refuse us? ; No, but you can threaten too. ; I like the way you think. ; Then will you consider waiting for Jane? ; No, I don't want to get caught by the GHA. ; *sigh* very well. We entered the space center (If ever I called the space center a space station, make the change in your head.) We asked a lady at a desk to see the NASA director. "Kids, I don't think the director has any time to talk to you." She said in a rather rude tone.
I generated 2 balls of electricity, Kayla lit herself on fire, Erik generated lines of electricity around his fists, and Taylor and Tyler turned their fists into drills. "Go up those stairs. It's the 3rd door on the right." The lady said. We followed her directions and entered the director's house. "Are you kids lost or something? This is a restricted area." He said. We once again used our powers to get his attention. "Okay... what do you kids want?" The director asked. "A space ship. Something fast. Something that we can drive." I commanded. "I'm sorry, but I can't do that. Even if I could, there is no space ship simplistic enough for KIDS to drive." The director replied. O: He's lying! I got ready to throw the electricity at him. "Okay! Okay! I'll show you what we have." The director exclaimed. Wow, this was easy.
The director led us to a door that seemed VERY heavily guarded. There were AT LEAST 20 locks, scanners, combinations, etc. "What I'm about to show you is top secret. Not even the president knows about it." The director told us. "Does he know much of ANYTHING? It's BUSH we're talking about." Erik replied. The director chuckled and said, "That may be so." He started unlocking the door, a process which took about an hour.
"Okay, inside is the latest and greatest ship ever. It makes no noise whatsoever. It has an energy efficiency level of 99.9%. It can approach the speed of light. It's completely undetectable to RADAR and all other means of tracking a ship." The director explained. "So, what's the catch?" I asked, suspicous. "The only catch doesn't really matter to you. It's only big enough for 8 people, but since there are only 6 of you, that shouldn't be a problem." The director replied. "C'mon! There can't be anything THAT perfect! How long can it keep up its top speed?" I asked. "3 years." "I'll bet its hard to control!" I exclaimed. "No. It uses temporal fluxes and shifts to make it appear that the ship is going a normal speed, and everything else is just going incredibly slow. Very easy to control, even at max speed." The director replied. "It's probably REALLY dangerous! Is it prone to malfunction?" I asked. "Odds of a malfunction are .000001%. It has a 5 star safety rating." "I'll bet it's incredibly complicated; too complex for us to drive!" I exclaimed. "If you can drive a car, you can drive this." The director replied. "THERE MUST BE SOMETHING WRONG WITH IT!!!" I shouted. "Other than its small size, nope." The director retorted. "I'll bet it can be crushed easily if an astroid hits!" I exclaimed. "Have you heard of transparent aluminum?" The director asked. "Yeah, it's something on Star Trek." I answered. "The material of this ship makes that stuff look like tissue." The director replied. I opened my mouth to say something, but he interruped me. "It also can generate enough food, water, and air to last you a few life times." "Does it pollute the atmosphere? I bet it does!" I exclaimed. "Its fuel is water." He said. Well, I was done.
The director opened the door, and we saw the most AWESOME ship EVER! It looked like a miniature version of the Star ship: Enterprise, accept it was red with orange and yellow flames and stripes. The 6 of us just stared at it for a long time.
"Impressive, don't you think?" The director asked. "HELZ YEAH!!!" I shouted. "Nice paint job." Erik said. "I'm driving!" I exclaimed. "No, I wanna drive!" Kayla exclaimed. All 6 of us started argueing about who was gonna drive the totally awesome space ship. "Actually, kids, the cockpit is pretty small. Only one of you will fit in it." The director said. We all looked at Erik. "He's the only one short enough to fit." The director said. "YES! I KNEW my small size would help me out, someday! PWND!!!" Erik exclaimed. We all grumbled incoherent insults. "My crew and I will prepare the ship for you 6. You launch at midnight." The director informed us.
(JANE'S POINT OF VIEW!!!)
Mah pa had locked me in the bedroom on the second floor o' the time share. I was at mah computer, typing in mah diary. It's pretty much the only thing Pa allows me to do. The entry went a little somethin' like this:
Dear Diary,
Hey, it's me again, Jane. Today started out absolutely great! I met a boy called Will and a bunch o' 'is friends. Boy... that Will was great. He's one of them electric dudes. First, he pushed me on the swings, and then he taught me how to go high on mah own! We swung alongside each other, smiling at each other the entire time.
Then, when we got done swingin', Will caught me when I jumped off! Normally, I'm mighty fearful o' doing things like that, but he gave me the courage to try!
After that, we headed fer the city which was bein' attacked by some dude named 'Dazo'. At first, it seemed nothin' we could do could stop 'im. But then, Will got out these 2 shiny rocks, a red one and a green one, and used them to transform himself and his pal, Erik, into super people! And guess what, diary? I helped them to defeat Dazo! Mah powers o' healing finally 'ad a use other than just healin' mahself when Pa beats me up.
Unfortunately, the battle took a smidgen too long. By the time all us got back to the time share, Pa had already gotten back from wherever he was. He got real mad 'cuz I wasn't 'ome 'fore he was, so he beat me again. 5th time this week.
Pa must a been in a relatively good mood today, 'cuz he actually let me say buh bye to Will and his pals. Will tried to convince me to go with 'im and his pals into Space, but I declined. Why? WHY?!? I could a gone with 'im and be gone from Pa, but I didn't! I feel so dumb right now. I wanted so badly to accept the offer, but I didn't.
But boy, that Will sure was dreamy... I think I might be... maybe... nah, it couldn't be, could it? ... Oh my god, diary. I think I'm in love with 'im! I know, I know, I only known him a day, but still...
Just then, I heard a voice inside mah head! Are you truly in love with him? It asked. "Well... yeah!" I exclaimed. It isn't too late to follow him. The voice told me. "Wait up just a darn second. Who are ya, anyways?" I asked. My name is Ozad. There is still time for you to catch back up with Will and the others! But, you have to leave now. Are you SURE you want to do this? "I-I-I don't know." I replied. Don't think about this with your mind. Think with your heart. Ozad said.
I gathered mah bed sheets and began tiein' 'em together. I tied one end of the rope to mah bed post and flung the other one out the window. I tugged the rope ta make sure 'twas safe fer me to climb down. After that, I went out the window and began climbin' down. Once I was close near the bottom, I pulled off one a mah shoes and dropped it down. Sure enough, I 'eard the familiar sound o' metal clampin' down. Pa 'ad always put a bear trap at mah window, which had gotten me once before. I was smarter, now, and wouldn't fall fer that one again. I jumped down, pulled mah shoe out o' the trap, put it back on, and then ran down the road. "So, Ozad, where do I go now?" I asked. Do you know where the space center is? Ozad asked. "Yah." I replied. Go there. In the lobby is a stair case. Go up it. Go to the 3rd door on the right and ask to see a bunch of Genetons. If the person asks what a Geneton is, tell them that its a person with extraordinary powers. Ozad answered. "Am I one of them Geneton thingies?" I asked. Of course, as are Will and all his friends.
(Will's point of view!)
"Okay, kids, you're ready for launch!" The director informed us. "Got it!" I exclaimed. We all ran towards the ship. Erik got in first, then Kayla, then Serenity, and then Taylor and Tyler. I was about to get in, but then I heard someone shout, "WAIT!!!"
I spun around, and saw Jane running across the cargo bay! "JANE?!?" I asked in total shock. "Will!" She exclaimed. She ran up to me and wrapped her arms around me. "I'm so glad ya'll haven't left yet!" she exclaimed. I returned the hug and asked, "How'd you find us?" "Some voice inside mah head told me where all ya'll were!" Jane replied. "Wait... by any chance was the voice's name 'Ozad'?" I asked. "Darn, how'd ya know?" she asked. W: I THOUGHT you were confined to me and Erik. ; When did I say that? "Well, the thing is, Erik and I hear him, too." I answered. She pulled away and looked at me weirdly. "So, I ain't insane?" She asked. "Nope." I replied. "So, is Ozad like some god or somethin'?" Jane asked. "Good heavens, no! He'll even tell you that! He hates it when people make that assumption." I told her. "So, what is ee?" She asked. "Former king of the ascended beings, not to be confused with angels." I answered. "Oooooh. Well, all that aside, let's get goin', Will!" She exclaimed. I let her get in, first, and then I followed after her.
"What's SHE doing here?!?" Serenity asked, trying and failing to hide her annoyance. We ignored her and sat down next to each other. Suddenly, Erik's voice started talking on the intercom. "This is your pilot speaking! Please fasten your seat belts for the entire trip. Do not get up to do anything, as this is bound to be a bumpy ride. Thank you for flying with Peterson Air lines!" Have I ever mentioned that Erik's last name is Peterson?
"Will, I'm scared. I always have been mighty fearful of heights!" Jane said. "Don't worry!" I exclaimed, putting my hand on hers. "You'll be fine. I'm here." I said. "Okay." She replied, blushing. "Erik, you practiced in the simulator, right?" Kayla asked. "Of course!" Erik exclaimed. Suddenly, the ship lurched forward, and Jane pressed her face against my shoulder. Her face gave away that she was terrified. I rested my head on hers and wrapped my arm around her to let her know I was there and that I would keep her safe. She relaxed and looked up at me with puppy dog eyes. Perhaps Ozad was right. Perhaps I WAS in love with Jane.
