Blue,
written by Whipper


They where in a small boat in the middle of a Blue sea.

Dagwood smiled proudly; Blue.

He knew the color Blue. The sea was Blue. And Lucas eyes, and...Darwin's ball. Darwin's ball was also Blue.

But the ball was on the seaQuest and the seaQuest was gone. So the ball was probably gone as well. Maybe they could get a new ball later? Darwin liked to play with it so he probably missed it. Dagwood also missed the ball. It was fun to play with it. To play with Darwin. And Lucas. And Tony. But now that the ball was gone they couldn't play anymore. He'd talk to Lucas about getting a new ball.

But somehow Dagwood knew that even if they had another ball; they wouldn't be able to play. Lucas didn't want to play anymore. He didn't want to speak or eat either. He was Sad. Dagwood didn't like Sad. He wanted Lucas to be happy; to play with him and Darwin. Or at least speak a little. Dagwood wanted Lucas to speak. It scared him that his young, human friend wouldn't say a word.

If the Captain was here he would make Lucas speak. Dagwood was sure of that. But the Captain wasn't there. He was Dead. So was Wendy. And Miguel. And Tim. And Lonnie. And the Commander. And Tony. Dagwood missed Tony. A lot. He wanted him to come back. But that was impossible. They where Dead.

'Gone, never to come back. No matter how much we cry. So we shouldn't cry. We should save the energy. We'll need it later. We have to survive, Dagwood. We have to go back. Back to Earth. To tell their story.' Lucas had said that. But the teenager had cried when he spoke; and he stilled cried every now and then when he thought Dagwood was asleep so maybe it was okay to cry.

Maybe they could go home even if they cried.

Dagwood hoped so.

He wanted to go home. He wanted to buy Darwin a new ball. A Blue one.

Dagwood liked the color Blue.
