If you ever need a Tip

Chapter 1: The Boov Machine

"Tip! Tip! Tip!" a little purple alien with swirls on his head, was calling for his friend. This creature is Oh, a Boov alien. Or more accurately, the Boov that saved his species and also the new Gorg generation; though he doesn't like to brag about it.

Gratuity Tucci aka Tip, a teenager with glowing brown skin and a curly afro now down to her shoulders, was silently petting her cat named Pig while playing a game on her phone.

"TIP!" She heard her best Boov friend holler her name. She smiled, and picked Pig up in her arms who was asleep.

"Hey Oh. What's up? Why are you running around like a chicken with it's head cut off?" she joked.

Oh suddenly stopped, processing what his friend had asked him. "What is a 'chicken'? Is it born with two heads to still properly function without one?"

Tip giggled "No silly. Its just an expression. Anyway, why were you calling me?"

The little alien grinned, remembering exactly why he needed her. "Remember how I told you about Gorg super chip?" she nodded.

"Well, Gorg has given us many more in show of gratitude! Let us go! I will show what Boov has made!"

Oh excited grabbed Gratuity's small hand, and tried to run with her out of her apartment. Before they both left completely out the doorway, Tip shouted for her mom.

"Mom! Oh and I are going to see something. Be back soon!"

Oh, was still bursting with excitement, nearly dragged his friend into the hallway towards the elevator. Pig stirred in his sleep.

"Um... I don't mean to burst your bubble Oh, but I don't understand what this is."

Tip scrunched her face in confusion. She tried seeing it from another angle by turning her head to the left, but it didn't help much. Oh smiled in her direction.

"This is the Boov Universal Box." he held out a black box that fit perfectly in Tip's hands. It wasn't small, but it wasn't big either. She flipped in around, seeing all sides of it. It had cube-ish neon green lines all over it and a steel-looking lock in the front. Tip scrunched her face again.

"Why is it locked?"

Oh glanced away sheepishly.

"Apparently, the Boov Universal Box is completed, but the lock is to prevent other beings from using the box. They will not tell me how to activate it, in fear I may cause another accident with a different race; and that they will not be as forgiving as Gorg."

Gratuity nodded her head in understanding and put Pig on top of her head, who was of course, still asleep.

"Well," she began, continuously tossing the advanced alien technology in her hand.

"If it makes you feel any better Oh, the box is pretty and I'm sure it will work great... If we get to see it in action."

On her final toss, the box suddenly paused in mid-air. Tip and Oh froze wide-eyed, staring at the box. Something was wrong, if that wasn't obvious enough. It spun and shook, even bounced off the walls a couple of times. Oh panicked.

"Tip! We must do the running away now! We do not know if the Boov Universal Box is stable! It could destroy all of Earth! We must call Boov Central Command Center and warn them!"

The girl rolled her eyes "Oh, you're being dramatic. We can try to fix it now, and we'll tell everyone later." she walked to the box, ducking in times when it was speeding towards her. Oh groaned.

"It is always with you humans and running towards the danger! I will get more Boov and my mom!"

Tip, not necessarily paying attention to what her friend said, was attempting to catch the alien box; but she was careful enough not to drop Pig or make him fall off. The box rushed towards her another time, and she caught it in her arms. The tech finally stopped moving around and became still.

Gratuity sighed in relief. It was over. Who knows what her mom would do if she found out she messed with the Boovs' stuff... again.

Tip felt as if she jinxed herself, because out of nowhere, the box's lines glowed a bright blue. She saw the light engulf her entire body before she could curse.

"Oh shi-!"
