Crash!

…..

…..

"Shit, what happened?" Kat thought, rubbing her head. She looked around. She had landed in a ship full of… "Donuts?" she said aloud.

"My Tallest! Someone has infiltrated the D-wing!"

"No! Not the Donuts!" Purple started flailing around in a panic.

"Assess the damage and bring them in! They'll replace every single donut they've destroyed!" Red clenched his fist, emphasizing his point.

"Yes, my Tallest!"

Purple was still yelling in a garbled panic. Red gave him a weird look.

LATER….

Kat was being led down a hallway by two weird looking dudes she naturally assumed were aliens. The whole donut thing was still lingering in her mind. Why did aliens have a pod full of donuts? Wouldn't they have some kind of…..alien food? Why did they have Earth food? And more importantly…. Why donuts?

She mentally shook herself. Obviously, she should be thinking about more important things. Well, first of all, they seemed to be in an oxygen-rich environment, so she didn't need her space suit. "Good thing, to. That thing itches like hell." She thought.

Finally, they arrived in a large room, filled with all sorts of high-tech machinery Kat had never seen before. In the center, stood two really tall guys. They were the same species as the guards who captured her, and seemed to be the ones in charge.

They both glared at her as she was led up to the platform to stand in front of them. Kat held her confused stare, looking at them back and forth. One had purple eyes and a purple….suit….thingy, and was stuffing curly fries into his mouth. The other had red eyes and a similarly matching red….suit….thingy. His arms were crossed and he glared at her with an uncomfortable intensity.

The Red one spoke first "This is the intruder?"

The guards answered in unison "Yes, Almighty Tallest."

The Purple one, still stuffing his mouth with curly fries asked "Mpth…..mmm….Why is her hair pink?"

Ignoring the other one the Red one approached her. She was only a few inches taller than her, so he didn't have to strain himself when he lowered himself to her eye level. "Why did you attack our donuts?"

Kat blinked in surprise. Donuts? All they cared about were the donuts?

"Uh….I'm sorry about that….It was unintentional. I don't know what happened, but my ship suddenly crashed into your…donut supply. I could….make you some more? If you like?"

"Yeah! Yeah, you'd better!" the Purple one interjected, now inhaling what appeared to be a slushee.

Kat tried to stifle a laugh.

The Red one could only face palm.

"Do you know where you are?" he asked her.

"Uh….No, actually. I'm rather confused….What is all this?" she gestured toward all the tech-y stuff.

"We," the Red one pointed to the Purple one and himself, "are the Tallest!"

She nodded, following him as he showed her stuff on the big screen.

"We are leaders of the Mighty Irken Empire!"

Silence…

"Any questions?"

"Uh….yeah….What do I call you two? To distinguish one from the other?"

The Purple one suddenly popped up again, this time with a bunch of what appeared to be Twinkies.

"I'm Purple!" he exclaimed.

"And I'm Red. And you….."

"My name is Kat. So should I…..start working or something? I mean, I have nowhere to go, and you said you wanted those donuts replaced, right?"

"Yeah, sure. HEY, SCOTT!" Red called. Almost instantly one of the guards identical to the ones who'd brought her there, appeared.

"Yes, my Tallest?"

"Register Kat in the Irken Citizen database! Then show her to the kitchen!"
