I held on to him tight, not wanting to let him go, but I knew he had to go; he had to go save the world, save the universe. I pulled away from him slowly, after staying in his arms for a few minutes. He looked down at me and kissed my forehead. He stepped back, turned around and walked towards the ship. He walked up the entrance ramp, then stood right in front of the door. The two of them were standing there now, staring back at both of us. The ramp slid in, like a lizard's tongue. We stared at them as they stared back. The door started so close, going from the bottom to the top. First their feet were gone, then their knees, waist, chest... I looked at his face for the last time, not knowing when I'll get to see it again. Then their faces were gone. A few seconds later, the ground started shaking, and a flame emerged from under the ship. It slowly started to ascent, higher and higher and higher...and then like the speed of light, it was gone!
