ANOCARI:

TWO YEARS LATER:
I stood in the kitchen of our house with my hands placed firmly on my hips. Nodding to myself, I smiled and looked at Donny with loving eyes, "Well, it took a while, but two years later we finally moved in all the way."
He smiled kindly and walked over to place his arms around me, "Yes, and you did a wonderful job of decorating, love. Not to mention helping me with the painting."
We both took a moment to look around at the cool turquoise walls of the kitchen, "I always have liked this color." I said hugging him tightly and kissing the corner of his mouth.
Donny and I had moved around from planet to planet, searching for the right place for us, for a whole year. We had our reasons for being so picky, though. We wanted no one to follow us or be able to find us, no matter how far we had to go. So we did "planet hopping" for as long as we could stand it, until we found a quaint little home in the city of Hirgentou on the planet Bourielyu. It was located nearly forty galaxies away from earth, which was far enough for the both of us. This way, there was no chance of any enemies following us or. . . any forgotten family members. . .
We had both had a harsh time the first two months, trying to forget everything that had happened and the way we were blamed for it. It was like a deathly sickness that kept coming back. Things would remind us of our family and we would move again, simple as that. We made sure there was no way we could be reminded so easily of the hurt they inflicted upon us. There was no way we would ever go through it again.
Although we were a young couple, frightened by our own journey to find peace, Donny and I still had our laughs at all the strange and new alien species we saw along the way; some more frightening then others, that was for sure. So, after those first months passed by, we began to enjoy ourselves and tried harder to find a place to settle down in. We also met some new friends along the way that helped us find our way to where we were now. This place was supposed to be "nature heaven" as some described it. The summers were never too hot and the winters were never too cold. Leaves would always be a wonderful, rich color in the fall; never an ugly brown, crunchy color. Spring would be dazzling, with flowers sprouting up in every place imaginable, but not to a crazy extent. Everything was absolutely perfect, and it was exactly what we wanted. We were tired of things going wrong and having to fret of losing our lives every day of the year, so we eagerly found this place and agreed to settle down.
Donny and I walked through the swinging door of the kitchen and into the family room where the dining table, couch, and T.V were. He walked over to turn on the TV and we both sat down to cuddle with each other. After all, we deserved some rest after all the hard work we had put into our house.
When the screen came into focus, the news was on. After watching the weather for a few moments, a reporter came on the screen with breaking news, "After months of watching carefully and studying, the government has finally proven this "invisible" object in the atmosphere to be some kind of unknown aircraft of this galaxy. One of our science observers has actually seen what this craft looks like at a rare glance. It was only for a moment, but a glimpse was all he needed to further his studies on this concern to the planet. It has many of our officials worried, but they say for everyone to remain calm about the situation until we find out if it is dangerous at all. They are hoping to send people out to approach it, come the right time, but for now they will just have to keep looking up."
It seemed that Donny and I had been reading each others minds because we both turned to look at each other at the same exact time. The same concern that was in my eyes seemed to be reflected into his. I knew something wasn't right, but why did it have to happen now, just when we were finally starting to be happy?
"Donny. I hope you are thinking the same thing as I am right now. . ."
He nodded, "If you're thinking that we have a lot of trouble on our hands right now, then, yes, I am thinking exactly what you are thinking. . ."
I sighed and took a deep breath, ". . . Okay, what are the chances? I mean, really? How could they have possibly followed us? Why would they still come after me after all this time?" I put my hands over his and kissed him lightly, "Like the reporter said, let's just stay calm until we know who it really is. I want to be happy."
His expression loosened as I stared lovingly into his hazel eyes and he leaned in to kiss me back, "You're right, we are worrying too much about this. We should be forgetting about all of this, not trying to make it happen again."
I smiled a wide smile, "That's the Donny I know. . ."
Suddenly, he gave me a smirk and pulled himself on top of me, kissing me with a great excitement. I smiled as he kissed me, relieved that we were able to live on without any distractions of our old life, that was then, at least.
