Chapter 2

Bored

" Ok I'm putting down two threes!'', A female voice said.

Her voice echoed in the black spaceship that they called home.

She had white fur, blunt ears, cerulean blue eyes, a bushy tail, peach colored markings, long antennae that never drooped down, and hair like a mohawk but front wards her head. A purple colored triangle shaped nose, and her most recognized feature of all, a color changing belly. Her belly was a deep purple as her antennae picked up the emotion for a creature sitting in front of her.

She put down two cards, and she looked up at her opponent. She sighed,'' Oh not again...''

Her opponent had yellow colored fur, burnt umber colored markings, and a red nose. He had two buck teeth that were visible whenever his mouth was closed. He was well known as Experiment 625, or 625 for short.

His head was rested on his arm, which laid in the table, his eyes halfway open and threatening to close.

'' 625 wake up!'', was the white creatures reply.

625 immediately perked up and looked around,'' What?! What is it Moody?''

" It's your turn.''

"Oh it is?'', then 625 yawned,'' Ok..."

Sleep threatened to take over him. He put down five cards before laying his head upon the desk,'' Five fours. Good night.''

Moody rolled her eyes,'' Bletzgorp, we're not using two decks of cards.''

She turned his cards and saw no fours at all, she saw two aces, one three, and two nines. She handed the pile of cards to him. Though she has noticed that 625 hasn't been so active lately. Barely any chatter, without him falling asleep.

'' 625, have you slept well last night?'', Moody asked, her voice full of concern and worry.

625 slowly lifted his head to look towards his friend, his eyes halfway open and looking fatigued,'' No.''

He let his head drop and closed his eyes, rubbing his cheek to his arm, and sighing.

'' Well, maybe you should take a nap.''

625 yawned again,'' I guess so. Wake me up whenever something exciting happens.''

'' You cannot sleep here! Come on!''

She grabbed 625's hand and yanked it, to encourage 625 to get up and follow her. He looked up and looked into her eyes. Her cerulean blue eyes were looking down upon his face, still with that worried expression upon her face.

'' Oh, all right,'' he said, getting up and letting Moody lead the way to the sleeping quarters of the ship.

After a while she lead 625 to his bunk on Gantu's bedroom. 625 crawled up the wall and collapsed to his bed, digging his face into the pillow, and closing his eyes once again.

'' 625?''

He didn't want to lift his head up to see the face of his friend, but instead he positioned his head to glance at her,'' Hmm?''

'' Sleep well, and if ya need anything just call me. Though I don't understand why you haven't been sleeping well these past few days. Are you okay? Do we need another psychology session?''

" No, No... I'm fine, I'll be active once I sleep. 'Night...'', was the sandwich makers' reply and ending with a yawn.

His arm drooped to the side of the bed, hanging in mid-air, and snoring softly. Moody grinned and climbed up to his bunk, and slowly put his blanket over his body, so it can keep him warm.

'' Sweet dreams, my friend'', She blew softly.

She crawled down the wall and landed upon her feet, and tiptoed softly out of the room, so she wouldn't disturb the sandwich makers rest. Moody's ears drooped down, as she spoke.

'' Well I guess it's just me again.''

She sighed, she knew that she was going to get bored again. She rarely did anything by herself. Usually she'd be with 625, playing some card game, watching television, making sandwiches or just being lazy. She walked towards the kitchen in hopes of keeping herself entertained. There was barely any sunlight outside, as she looked out of the ship's window. The clouds outside were a dark grey, and as she inhaled the air, there was a large amount of moisture. The sun was blocked from the clouds, and they shadowed the land.

''Well there goes my fun from the outside,'' she said.

'' 623?'', was the voice of a familiar alien.

Moody looked up to see an eight foot shark like creature above her. His dull grey skin matched the color the clouds were outside. His blue eyes watched her, as she looked up at him.

'' Hi Gantu,''

'' 623?''

'' I prefer the name Moody.''

'' 623, where's 625? Usually you two would be making sandwiches by now.''

'' 625's asleep.''

'' Again?''

'' Yep. Do you know why he's not sleeping well?''

'' Not really.''

'' Okay... Gantu, I'm bored.''

Gantu sighed,'' Well when the storm passes maybe you could do a bit of grocery shopping.''

'' Well at least it gives me something to do.''

'' You need to get ketchup, mayonnaise, bread, some milk, cheese...''

'' What? We had ketchup and milk yesterday!''

'' 625 drank and ate the food.''

'' What a bunch of baloney!''

'' That reminds me; we need some baloney too.''

Moody growled,'' Oh all right! But I wanna buy some Pringles and fruit punch soda!''

'' Okay, but don't buy more the two packages of your chips, and no more then half a dozen of your soda.''

'' Deal! But I'll go when the storm stops.''

'' Ok.''

Gantu stepped out of the kitchen and left Moody alone. She looked out of the window and saw that the storm was clearing up.

'' Must be the tropical weather today. First it rains then sunlight pops up from nowhere... meh...''

She stepped out of the kitchen and headed outside. As she was outside she covered her eyes from the sun, and she turned around and glanced at the ship, looking at the bedroom window. She expected to hear nothing; and she heard nothing. She walked down the sandy pathway and was on her way to the store.
