Author's Comments - Chappie 4 – Introductions. Enjoy! ^-^ (BTW I'm sorry for the delay, I've just had loads of exams at school and the internet has been playing up too lately :S)

"Wha... who... where am I?" mumbled Ember, very confused.

"Don't worry hunny, your safe here" answered the woman, breaking the hug. This allowed Ember to see the rest of the room. It was large, with blank, white walls, a hovering TV, 2 sofas, lots of video games and a table and fridge at the far end. On one of the machines was a man with spiked-up, blonde hair and another man with short, black hair, stood next to him. Ember turned to look at the sofas and saw...

"Aliens! But what...when?...How..." mumbled Ember to herself, even more confused than before.

"Don't worry, she's just in confusion. She'll snap out of it in a minute" said the martian in blue, with an amused look on his face.

"Why didn't... only three?..." she continued.

"At least she's reacting better than what you three did. You all screamed. Angie ran and I think Mike wet himself! Cedric was OK after he got over the shock and he had to help us catch Angie and calm Mike down!" said the martian in yellow, laughing. Mike – the human with the blonde hair, didn't look too impressed.

"Where's the fire!" said Ember to the boy with short, black hair. The girl called Angie giggled at this. Ember began counting on her fingers.

"Ten-million ants!" she finished, then slid to the floor.

"Umm, are you sure you wouldn't prefer to sit somewhere more comfortable?" asked Angie with a smile.

"I'll be fine here thank you" replied Ember, back to her old self. "Where am I? Who are you guys?"

"You're at Zapz. This is where we live" replied the martian in blue. "I'm 2T, this is Do-Wah (gesturing to the martian in red), and this is B-Bop (pointing to the martian in yellow)"

"Umm... hi. It's nice to meet you" said Ember sweetly, giving a shy smile.

"I'm Angie, that's Mike and that's Cedric. And that's Dog. His name is Dog. Not too creative is it?" said the woman with short, brown hair. She sat next to Ember on the floor.

"Haha. It's so nice to meet you all. I'm Ember Taylor" she said cheerfully.

"Aww, too cute!" Angie said again, once again pulling her into a hug.

Author's Summary – Now that the introductions are over, they can all start being friends! Yay! X3 By the way, you may have noticed I've been referring to Angie, Mike and Cedric as men and women. This is because in this story, Cedric is 18, and Mike and Angie are 19. The martians are about 23 in martian years. :)
