Laser balls flew everywhere; the sky was blackened by smoke. Captain Amelia sprinted across the bloody deck "Abandon ship!"She yelled over the deafening noise. The crew were about to but a huge crash distracted them. Amelia turned around to see that the enemies had cracked the ship in half. Her eyes widened in terror as the ship plummeted down...

Ashley Doppler looked out her window...

(Flashback)

Amelia looked out the window; the stars twinkled in the night sky.

"Mom what are you doing?"

Startled Amelia turned around to find her 10 year old daughter (the one with the red hair) looking at her with her large hazel eyes.

"Ashley Caroline Doppler!"Amelia scolded "shouldn't you be in bed?"

Ashley looked at her slippers "I couldn't sleep," She mumbled.

Smiling Amelia scooped up her daughter in her arms "Come on," Amelia laughed "And I'll tell you a story before bed tomorrow, sound ok?"

"No!" replied Ashley "Right now!"

"Ok, I'll tell you one right now, and then you have to go to bed,"

"Ok!" Said Ashley snuggling into her mother's night gown.

Ashley smiled at the memory that had been a month ago before her mom had gone on another voyage.

Unfourtunly her ship had been attacked near the deserted planet Kilomic and had crashed down there. Yesterday her father (Delbert) had received a Hologram saying there had been no survivors. (Holograms are sort of like letters)

Ashley sighed and buried her face in hands "Why did my mother have to ...DIE?!?!" She thought miserably. But in the depths of her heart she felt that her mom hadn't died, she just couldn't make sense of it.

"Ashley, Ashley!"

Her thoughts were interrupted by her brother (Daniel) busting loudly in to her room. "What is it Danny?" She said worried by her brother's loudness for he was usually more on the quiet side

"We (pant) got (pant) a Holo (pant) gram." He replied, out of breath.

"So?" Asked Ashley, for she was confused they often got Holograms.

"It's from MOM!!!!!!!!" He shouted hopping up and down.

"What?!"Cried Ashley "A Hologram from mom, but that's impossible!"

"It is!" Shouted Jasmine (blond) who had appeared beside her brother.

"Open zit um,it," stammered Daphne (brown) appearing behind Jasmine.

Daniel flicked open the locket thingy that was in his hand. Their mother's face appeared. Amelia's face was pale and was covered in bruises, cuts and scratches, her emerald green eyes were dull and half closed. She opened her mouth and spoke softly.

"Delbert, children, are you all right? I am on the planet Kilomic right now; there are two other survivors, the cook and the lookout. We were rescued by Kilonies, they are native to Kilomic and are shy and kind. I hope you are all well right now, goodbye..."

The Hologram disappeared.

"Oh my!" said a voice behind them.

"Dad!" cried Daniel, turning around.

"No need to ask Danny, by the way, you kids need to pack!" Replied Delbert, smiling "Tomorrow we go too Kilomic!

"YEAH!!!" Every one cheered.

"Yes", Thought Ashley "This is AWSOME!"
