Chapter Two: The Ride

Galetea was up that morning at the very earliest she could. She didn't even bother to get ready, something she always made sure to do before showing her face to anyone. Excited as hell, she almost fell down the castle's long, winded staircase. Once she got downstairs, her parents were right there waiting for her.

Queen Marzerine raised an eyebrow. "Well, have you made your decision yet?" she asked.

Nodding her head as if to say yes, Galetea replied, "You'll be happy to know I did!"

Both of her parents looked at each other and smirked. It seemed like they know she would end up saying yes.

"I assume it's time to get moving then, Galetea. Your mother and I have already started up your ship. It's waiting in front of the castle" said King Radix.

In that moment, Galetea realized she had completely forgotten about her favorite thing when it came to missions. Galetea's spaceship was like a child to her. She cared for that thing more than anything in the world. When she got outside, she seemed to love it even more.

It looked like one of her servants had just recently cleaned it. The dark purple accents had never looked so shiny and the lavenderish-white had a certain glimmer to it that could capture anyone's eye. Galetea couldn't help but run inside. Inside, it also seemed like it had been completely cleaned. The dark purple velvet seats looked brand new and the rest of the ship was spotless.

Galetea pulled one of the joysticks back and a raging fire ignited from underneath the ship. She soared up in the air. The king and queen, along with Flora looked up at her in admiration.

Earth, here we come, she thought to herself as she raced through space. The dark area with so many little stars was an all too familiar sight. She passed by many planets she already knew and had been to before. Her favorite one being Tameran. Although, she hadn't been there in many years, she would always remember a particular friend she made over there. A friend who reminded her a lot of herself.

Galetea soon realized that she had been to all of these planets before. She never thought she would recognize so many- Venus, Saturn, Mercury…Earth? Galetea figured it had it be. She didn't recognize it but it was mostly blue with specks of green and white.

This must be it, she thought. Not knowing where exactly to land, Galetea decided it was best to try to land slowly. That she did as she peacefully sunk lower, like if she was slowly diving into the abyss. Everything looked like it was going her way. She closed her eyes and began to hum a comforting, happy tune. She even rested her feet up on the dashboard, not realizing the fatal error she was about to make.

Suddenly in what seemed like a matter of mere minutes, Galetea's ship came crashing down. Shit. I must've hit something I shouldn't have, she thought. She experienced crash landings before. But none were as gut-wrenching as this one. Galetea was fearing for her life and figured this was what dying must have felt like. Okay, well obviously no one could really say what dying feels like. But Galetea knew it was pretty damn close.

At this point, she was desperate. Screaming for help even though no one could hear her plight. The further she went down, the more mortified she got. The concerns and fears she originally had about Earth were all coming back to her. She even thought about the giant three-headed snakes. She could have been falling into a pit of them, knowing her luck.

The nightmarish descent from space was finally coming to an end. Galetea was falling closer and closer into a large, blue area. It was right next to a series of mediocre looking trees and a whole field of grass.

Galetea didn't even notice where she had landed. She was just glad the terrifying fall was over. That gladness faded shortly as she realized she didn't fall onto land but into water. Her relieved smile immediately faded into a worried frown. Her spaceship was completely ruined! All the hard work that was put into by her servants had been wasted. She ran out of the ship, just in time to avoid an electric shock.

It was then that two strange looking young men had noticed her. The first one Galetea saw was a large black guy, appearing to be in his late teens. He was covered in blue robotic parts. He was a bit intimidating but Galetea knew he meant no harm just by looking into his eyes. His left was only a red blinking light but his right showed compassion and honorability.

The other guy was an even odder site. If you can believe that. He was completely green from head to tie, with a set of fangs and pointy ears. You could tell he was considerably younger than his friend. But as strange as he looked, Galetea couldn't help but think he was kind of cute.

"Looks like you need a little help" said the robot man.

"Yeah, you're like soaking wet, dude" the green boy chimed in.

"Oh, trust me I know" Galetea replied.

"So what happened here?'' the robot man asked.

Galetea wasn't sure how to word it without sounding out of her mind. So she just told the truth from top to bottom.

"Well, I'm actually the princess of a planet called Zappron. My family sent me out here. The only problem is, I've crash landed and I hardly know anything about this place. To add to it, my spaceship's crashed and I have no way to fix it".

The green boy's face lit up, "Dude, one of our best friends is an alien princess. I bet she could give you a hand. Wanna come with us back to our place? I'm Beast Boy by the way and this is Cyborg". He said, pointing at the robot man.

Galetea wasn't too sure about this. Everything seemed a little too coincidental. Still, never one to pass up on a good offer, she left the door open.

"Oh, I don't really know. I mean I just got here and honestly know nothing about this place".

"That's exactly why we wanna help you! We'll tell you all about Earth! What's your name anyway?" Asked Beast Boy, trying his best to convince her.

"It's Galetea" she replied.

"That's kinda hard to say. How about we just call you Shine? After all, you have the shiniest eyes I've ever seen" he kindly suggested.

''And I could probably fix your ship for you if you want" said Cyborg.

Beast Boy's sweet talking and Cyborg's offer was more than enough to persuade Galetea…or should we say Shine? She finally agreed and both guys were estatic.
