Ok, so here is chapter 2, enjoy!
The departure form Sanity, into the unknown:
In the twilight, we loaded our gear onto the transport. The automated seat belts engaged and we were off. I looked over at Max. He was already asleep. The only other passenger was glowing and very sexy. My heart began to race.
Throughout most of the flight, the sexy stranger was quiet, only an occasional snicker to himself. I thought about introducing myself, but didn't want get myself in trouble.
I watched as the planetary features of Sanity grew smaller until they disappeared below the thick orange clouds. "This will be an adventure to remember forever." I thought.I could see the docks in the distance. It was one of the major universal ports in the galaxy. I took out my antique analog voice recorder to make some notes to enter into my journal later.
I looked up to see the stranger staring at me.
"I'm sorry," he said in a velvety tone. "But I couldn't help but notice that you are using an ancient recording device."
"It belonged to my great-grandmother." I replied.
He put his hand out, for me to pass it to him which I did cautiously.
"I can't believe it! I didn't think people still used these!"
He looked up at me and smiled.
"Name's Doctor J. How about yours?"
My face was suddenly warm. "I'm Gabrielle, and sir snores-a-lot is my husband Max."
Max opened his eyes.
"Did I hear you say you were a doctor?" Max grumbled.
"Yes, I am." Said Dr. J. "Doctor of… em, uh, at Sanity University. How about you Max? What do you do?"
Max closed his eyes, and folded his arms across his chest. "I don't like doctors."
Dr. J. shrugged his shoulders, handed the recorder back to me, smiled and resumed his reading.
I looked out the window again. The station was closer now. We grabbed our Gravity Stabilizing Boots, and placed our ACs –a.k.a. breathers, in our mouths. I looked around for Dr. J. He was gone. Max and I gathered up our bags, and headed for dock 1101B to board our cruise ship.
After we found our room, I went over to the desk, and pulled up the list of passengers. I wanted to see the passenger list.
"What are you looking at that for?" Max asked. "We are on this tin can with a bunch of scientists. You are not going to know any of them."
Ignoring him, I kept searching. I really wanted to see if Dr. J was aboard. He awakened feelings in me that had not been present in a long time. I knew it was dangerous, but it felt good. I did not find one life form named Dr. J. Disappointed yet relieved, I started to unpack and settle in. Max laid on the bed, and flipped on the monitor. He scanned the channels for something to watch. When he came to an intergalactic sports channel, I knew I had lost him. I opened the curtains of our portal and enjoyed the view of Sanity. The orange clouds swirled gently over the deep purple sea. It was truly a beautiful sight.
As the ship began to pull away from the dock I decided to go exploring. "I'm going for a walk." I told Max. "I'll be back later."
