ROAD TRIP!
"ok, sunscreen, towles, swimsuit,-"
"yes, yes, and yes! Jeez! Mom, we have everything!"
Jim said, annoyed at his mother. everyone was gathered at the doppler house, everyone except amelia.
"hey... where is mum?" natalie asked.
"she's at the legacy natalie, you do remember were taking her to avoid the lines at the space shuttle?"
delbert informed as he grabbed his backpack. natalie nodded "almost forgot."
"well as amelia would say 'let's stop all this lolliegaging and get on the legacy!"
sarah declared. everyone groaned not a good impression. half an hour later they arrived at the spaceport. they easily found the legacy and climed abored. they saw amelia nowhere.
"hmm, guess we'll see her around soon"
jim mused they all went and chose a room below deck. still no sign of amelia. after 10 minutes above deck she flipped and jumped her way from the masts and ropes. when she landed everyone but delbert was just freaked out. amelia, instead of having on a long sleeved shirt on, she had a yellow tanktop, and white jean capree's. but what freaked them all out was a tatoo on her right arm. it was a long vine that winded up her arm with flower and flower buds on it, and it seemed to continue onto her back. amelia smirked as she walked up to them all. jim's mouth opened and closed. amelia laughed,
"james, close you mouth bugs will fly in!"
she said snapping his mouth shut. he looked at his mom
"ok, so amelia can get a huge tatoo of a vine on her arm. but i can't get a small tatoo of a skull on my shoulder!" he exclaimed amelia laughed.
"actully jim it continues on my back" sarah looked at her friend.
"wait, exactly when, what, and why do you have that tatoo?" amelia looked at delbert.
"i got it not to long after the treasure planet voyage, mostly because i could, always wanted a tatoo for some reason. and it continues onto my back entirely covering it with a gigantic lunargalatic lilly, and some more vines, smaller flowers and a yellow butterfly"
amelia shruged. everyone looked at delbert for comfermanation he made sweeping motions.
"her WHOLE back"
he empasized 'whole' "can i get a tatoo?" natalie asked eagerly.
amelia shook her head.
"no, you can't get one. ever."
"what? then why can you get one?" she asked surprised and angry at the same time.
"because it hurts like hell."
"then why did you do it?"
amelia raised an eyebrow. delbert chuckled
"a glass of wine a day for good helth. a bottle a day for good mesure!" he quoted.
amelia slapped his arm.
"ohhhhhhhh..."
everyone else said. then silently went to get the legacy started. they did the usual launch and started sailing threw space. since it was just them they could do whatever they thought fit. which to amelia right now was leaning against the side of the boat playing angry birds on her smart phone. with jim and natalie watching.
"hey if you tap the screen twice you get two extra birds" natalie suggested amelia did so.
and won the game. she did a high five with natalie, and jim. they continued passing it around for awhile then decided to check how long it would take to get to harminsia, sarah and delbert were talking in the legacys stateroom. they studied the maps before amelia slapped her face.
"OH CRAP!"
she yelled frusterated pulling her hair. "what's wrong dear?" delbert asked.
she took out her smart phone quickly texting something.
"i left the water running!"
delbert rubbed the bridge of his nose. amelia sighed with relief. "ok ranee said she'd shut it off" amelia said refering to her friend, a green alien with many long 10 ft. tenticals for hair, and a vary pretty face.
"that's the fifth time this week amelia!"
delbert exclaimed amelia's face turned to that of a pouting child. delbert broke down
"that face, why can i not get pass that face!"
he growled but he was smiling. amelia laughed. all of the sudden a loud rumble was heard throughout the ship
"that... can't be good..."
sarah whispered frightened. amelia's feline ears sensed the problem. she returned to a captain once more.
"to the engine room, quickly!"
she yelled over the creaking and groaning, they all ran down. amelia was first in she couldn't see a thing through the smoke. but plunged in despite her husbands protests, she knew the ship by heart. and quickly found and turned off the main engine, the rumbling and creaking stopped, and the smoke dispersed. to reveal a soot covered coughing amelia. leaning against a lever. everyone rushed in
"amelia, darling are you all right?" delbert asked the still coughing amelia.
"yeah, yeah i'm alright but the engine's not" she stood up and brushed herself off.
she went to the engine and pulled out a sundile shapped gear, that was bent beyond repair.
"this is the floriden, the most important gear of the engine. this one is now broken. we have to stop at the nearest planet and get a new one, until then we remain idle"
everyone gasped, and rushed out on upperdeck. they looked around and realized that... they had no clue where the hell they were. amelia immedietly took action in 10 seconeds flat she had come back from her stateroom with a holographic map. that also had a tracking device on the ship. she laid it down in the middle of the deck, it was 5ft by 7ft. at first it looked like a normal everyday gigantic map. then she shouted commands to it.
"holographic map modle 6534, show current location of the legacy and imformation about the area around us."
a few beeps came from the map then a holograph of the legacy appeared, it was by the dark side of a small planet. the map beeped again then talked in a robotic voice.
"your location is the dark side of the earths moon. the moon is smaller then most and has been explored by humans many times in the past, they have yet to set up any living cities on this particular moon. this moon has a light side and a dark side. no earthlings can see you on the dark side. it is considered a vary safe hiding point, at one time it was often used by piaret ships. no longer though. there have been legands of the moon being made out of cheese, scientist have found them myths, and that eating the moons surface really just make's you mentally retarted the rest of your life."
everyone laughed, except amelia. and made a mentle note never to eat any of the earths moon surface.
"imformation about earth, and it's inhabitents. if you please" amelia commanded. more beeps, the the visual turned to a green and blue planet.
"earth, also known as mother earth. is the original birthplace of the human species. scientist believe humans developed from papio anubus, more commonly known as ape, or monkey. humans evacuated 30 years ago due to pollution. most have returned and earth is now helthy and safe. they have many of the devices the other planets have but they do not sail space often, and it is vary hard to find certain parts for solar ships on planet earth. 89% of earths population is humans. the rest mainly consists of rockals, and reptillians."
"i remember the evacuation! i was 15!" exclaimed sarah. everyone looked at her, she crossed her arms. "planet earth SUCKED!"
amelia sighed and looked out all around them, now she could tell they were indeed on the dark side of the moon. and that no other planet was around except for earth.
"everyone!" she shouted sternly. delbert knew what she was thinking.
"we... have to go to planet earth don't we?" he asked.
"spot on, delbert!" she quickly rolled up the map, and gave out orders.
"Mr. hawkins! i want you and sarah to head to the longboats, delbert, grab 4 plasma guns from my cabinet. and natalie activate the legacy's seciruty system!"
"ay' captain!"
everyone yelled. amelia threw delbert her cabinet keys and ran off. everyone did their duty and met at the longboat bay. after a few arguments, and a few hit's on the head, jim and his mother had the longboat ready to leave. delbert and amelia jumped in. delbert had handed gun's out to jim, sarah, natalie, and kept one for himself, amelia always carried a plasma gun on hand. natalie hesitated. jumped, and landed on her butt breaking one of the seats.
"ok someone catch me next time!"
she sat where she landed. amelia started the boat and at full speed, raced off towards earth. a hour or so later the longboats engine started to sputter, natalie looked at the gas gage, it was empty. though they had solar power the boat needed fuel and solar power to fly properly.
"blast it!"
amelia growled they started spirling towards earth. thanks to amelia's manuvering skills they managed to land safely. amelia jumped out to observe the dusty landscape before them. after about ten minutes she turned to everyone else.
"the good news, we landed safely" she said
"and the bad news?" sarah asked.
"we landed in a desert"
"oh lovely"
natalie took a observation of her own. she squinted, something like a city was in the distance.
"hey, look i think theres a town! maybe we can walk there?" she said. amelia blocked the sun from her eyes.
"looks to be about 5, 6 miles" she calculated.
"we could walk that!"
delbert comfirmed standing from the longboat.
"but not in this weather! let's wait until night, when it's cooler" jim added.
everyone agreed. and noticed some tree's close by, they dragged the boat there to wait out the day.
NIGHTFALL
at night they finally started walking, they now noticed that the city was lit up, by thousends of colorful bright lights. they came to a road where a giant neon sign read: welcome to fabulous los vegas nevada!
"well that explains alot!" jim mused.
a few cars passed by, amelia leaned up against the las vegas sign.
"amelia!" sarah called.
amelia looked up, she was tiared. and addmitedly thought that if they found anywhere to eat, she'd go off her diet.
"amelia on this planet leaning up against a sign like that, make's you look like as you would say, a spaceport floozie!"
amelia's face reddened and she immidetly jumped away from the sign, causing everyone to laugh. after the giggles subsided everyone looked towards sarah.
"sarah, please tell us what you remember of earth. before the evacuation" delbert asked, putting a hand on his old friends shoulder.
"well lets see... i don't remember much. they tried to make me forget most of it when we left" sarah concentriated. "i remember not being able to breath from the smog that always was around. and that the man at the dairy mart never had change for a twenty. and something about strict laws. but thats all." delbert nodded.
"dairy mart?" quiestioned natalie.
"a store" is all sarah said.
"captain, do you think you can find out anything else on your phone?"
jim asked, for once he wasn't fooling around, in fact he looked a little freaked out. amelia nodded. after 10 minutes of reasearch, amelia pocket her phone and sighed. delbert came to her side and placed a comforting hand around her slender waist. she looked at the others.
"as far as i can gather, earth has cleared up it's air since the evacuation. and is now a vary helthy planet, and will remain so. but i also found that their immgration laws are the most strict on this side of the galaxy. we... don't have the correct papers to land here legally, and need a new gear for the legacy, and fuel to even get off this bloody planet."
jim, natalie, and sarah all said at the same time
"so were screwed?" amelia nodded quietly.
"and it appears that they have dislikeing of felinds, because we resemble their 'house pets' to closely, whatever those are." sarah grinned.
"oh i remember something now!" she exclaimed.
she looked at amelia and natalie. "when i was a little girl i had a feline as a pet! she would wander around the house, climbing on the furniture and chasing mice! oh and her fur was so soft i'd sit with her on my lap and pet her for hours as she purred!" both amelia, and natalie's mouth's dropped. "she looked like you, only she couldn't talk. and was completely covered in brown fur! and was about a foot tall!"
amelia's eyes widened, she looked at natalie who seemed as shocked, if not creeped out by the prospect of a miniuture one of them.
"well... um, anyhow point is what the hell do we do now?" natalie asked.
"Natalie, Elizabeth, Doppler! what did i say about swearing?" amelia growled, she was strict, real strict. especilly when it considered children swearing.
"no swearing until i'm 16 sorry forgot!" natalie hurridly corrected herself.
jim raised an eyebrow. "this comeing from the felind who cussed out the mail man for giving her more then five bills in one delivery?"
amelia elbowed jim in the side. causing him to doulble over in pain. after he recovered amelia continued with her imformation.
"the nearest place we could get the floriden gear, and fuel for the longboat, is in Portland, Main whitch, is on" amelia's voice now boomed. "THE OTHER SIDE OF THIS GOD-FORSAKEN CONTINENT!"
amelia was not happy, at all. who would be in her situation?
"how could we get there undetected is the question"
delbert said trying to sooth his tense wife. everyone was silent, jim glanced at the road and the car's passing by. maybe, they'd have a hard time detecting us in one of those? jim thought, then he grinned looked at everyone. and pumped his fist in the air shouting,
"ROAD TRIP!"
