The cup in Jenny's hand fell with a heavy sigh escaping her lips. She hadn't even made it to a new planet! Several light years away, the engine started to idle. Now she was stuck here, living above this stupid bar and waiting tables for scraps. She groaned and shook her head sadly.
The chair beside her moved and she turned to see the most unique creature she'd ever before laid eyes on- and after the lot that came in here she's seen a few.
It was obviously a woman. She was very shapely and similar to Jenny in form. Her hair was black and braided back all along her skull like ditches- it would be some time before Jenny learned that these were called 'cornrows'. She was paler though and with richly shaded lips in red, her eyes a twinkling blue. Her nose was a little round but all the same, Jenny thought it suited her. It was plump like her cheeks when she smiled though it would be some time before Jenny ever saw that. What she saw instead was a glint of silver through her lower lip as she spoke.
"A glass of grisantinoth please. On the rocks." The woman turned to Jenny and smirked slightly. "'ello, gorgeous. Lovely meeting you. My name's Amara. What's yours?"
"Jenny," she said. "Jenny Doctor."
"Doctor well that's a funny last name. What brings you here, Jenny?"
Jenny shrugged sadly as the woman peered at her. "I dunno. I wasn't suppose to actually be here you know. I was gonna travel. But my ship broke down and now I'm stuck."
"Stranded in this old place? Well… We can't have that can we?" She grinned and it reminded Jenny a little bit of her father. "So tell me, Jenny, still wanna travel?"
Jenny, sensing something amazing about to happen, grinned. "Always."
"Well, then we'll have to do something about that!"
