~~~Chapter Two~~~

~~~Previous~~~

Just as Sharla got up to the top, the cylinders exploded. When we looked up after the bright flash of light was gone, the stairs were mostly gone and Sharla was knocked onto the floor.

Luna is frozen in place, no doubt lost in her memories. I gently tap Luna's shoulder. "Luna, snap out of it. Luna!" I yell finally getting her attention.

Sharla goes up to the elevator and presses the red button non-stop hoping the doors would open. "Open! Open!" Other than panicking Sharla looks to be fine, I can't see any injuries. "Sharla!" Luna yells as she picks up one of the tools off the ground.

Shingo comes up to Luna. "What should we do?" His voice sounding worried.

"You call the fire department." Luna orders. So, Luna is going to try and save Sharla herself. But she hasn't got the wrong idea. The fire department won't get here in time to get Sharla down.

"That's dangerous! It's impossible!" Shingo yells.

I see movement behind me, so I turn to see Kaoru looking for something but looking at his face, he has just found what he was looking for. I looked in the direction he was looking to see a red box on the wall. What does this box do?

Kaoru runs up to it and punches the glass causing the light to flash red and to make an alarm sound. I look in the other direction to see that Luna was climbing up the metal scaffolding. She is now level to where Sharla is. "Sharla!" Luna calls out to her. "Luna…" Sharla replies weakly.

Luna jumps and makes it across to where Sharla is standing. Luna tries prying the elevator doors open but they won't budge. The remaining stairs come off the wall causing both Sharla and Luna to fall. Luna catches Sharla's hand before she could fall off and she grabs onto one of the stair poles at the top. This isn't good, this isn't good at all. I think worried.

~~~Present~~~

"It's no use! No one can save us now!" Sharla cries.

Sharla gives up very quickly, doesn't she? But being around Luna and I will hopefully soon change that fact. We are not ones to give up as easily as that.

"Don't give up!" Luna shouts down to her.

Isn't there anything around here that we can use? There must be something at least. I think looking around. I gaze at Luna to see that she is looking around as well. Wait a second…that grey thing. That could work, couldn't it? "Luna!" I shout getting her attention. "There!" I shout pointing at the grey thing.

"Shingo! Can you use that grey thing?" Luna asked calling down to him.

"Eh?" Shingo looks in the same direction where both Luna and I are looking. "I'll give it a try!"

The stairs creak making both Luna and Sharla fall further down, closer to the flames. "Don't let go, okay?" Luna demands. Luna won't be able to hold onto Sharla for much longer and Sharla is panicking making it harder to hold on to.

Shingo jumps into the grey contraption but panics when he sees that there is no key. However, he overcomes this slight problem by using the tools at his side to make it start. It works. "Alright, it's working! Go!"

Shingo presses the pedal down but instead of going forward he goes back and crashes into some containers. "Calm down, Calm down"

I look back to where Luna and Sharla are to see that they have climbed to the top once again. "Are you okay?"Luna asks her in a reassuring tone. I see Sharla nod slowly just as the stairs begin to creak and move further off the wall. "It's hopeless!" Sharla yells. Luna yells back. "Keep trying! Don't give up!"

That sound…Shingo has figured out how to work the grey contraption. "Over here," Shingo calls out to Luna and Sharla.

Shingo has got the contraption as close as he can. I don't think he will get any closer to them. "Get closer! Hurry!" Luna demands. Shingo does try to move closer but there is something in his way. "I can't get any closer!"

I look behind me to see Kaoru on the other side. He is removing the rope that keeps the crane hook in one position. He throws it in Luna and Sharla's direction. Luna sees it and has Sharla hold on to her tight, arms around her neck.

Luna grabs a hold of the hook just in time as the stairs come off the wall completely and fall into the flames. The hook swings and they fall into the contraption. "You made it!" Shingo moves further away from the fire before lowering Luna and Sharla so they can get onto the ground.

I look in Kaoru's direction and we lock gazes. I nod my head gratefully since he helped instead of running off. He returns the nod before turning away and leaving.

Sharla is clinging to the contraption's side. No doubt still shook up. "Sharla, are you hurt?" Luna asked worriedly. Sharla doesn't speak but lets out a little sound. Luckily she is fine, I don't see any injuries on the pair of them. "Thank you, Shingo!" Luna admits cheerfully. A little blush appears on Shingo's cheeks and he rubs under his nose with his finger. "It was no big deal."

The fire department has only just got here. I knew they wouldn't get here in time to save Sharla and Luna. The fire is soon put out and Sharla is given a cover to put over her when she gets checked over. Luna turns to Shingo, places her hands on both his shoulder and thanks him for calling the fire department.

"Huh? I didn't do anything like that," he admits confused.

"Ehh? Then…who did?" Luna's voice carrying a curious tone.

"It's not like Howard would have done it," He said with a serious voice. That is true, Howard wouldn't have done such a thing. Besides, it was Kaoru who helped us. Luna thinks it was Kaoru to if her face is anything to go by.

"Then…Maybe." she looks around for Kaoru and we see that he is only just leaving. So, he didn't leave earlier, he stayed until we were all completely fine and out of danger. The fire was still there and was only put out when the fire engines came.

I see Bell above us with the crowd, poking out from the wall. Bell did look reluctant to run away earlier. He should start to stand up for himself. I don't think his father wants him to act like Howard's slave, doing everything Howard wants just so he can keep his job.

~~~A Week Later~~~

It has been a week since the fire incident. Time sure has passed quickly and we haven't really had any problems with Howard.

~~~Luna's POV~~~

Howard's father put his hand in behind the scenes, and that accident was swept under the rug.

"The thing is…Is it okay that nobody heard about an incident like that where lives were on the line? It leaves me feeling unsatisfied." I said feeling irritated.

"It's fine, ain't it? Thanks to that, you can go on the school trip you've been lookin' forward to." Chako says in a soothing way.

"That's one thing, and this is another!" I admit.

"Yeah, yeah. But anyway, I'm jealous!" Chako says edging closer to me.

"Of what?" I ask Chako in a curious tone.

"Tomorrow's the long-dreamt-of trip! A tasty trip from planet to planet. It'd be nice if they had a hot spring too." Chako said drooling.

"Now see here! I'm not going there to play! It's personal experience with a planetary settlement!" I scolded her gently.

"And I'll be there too…See, I can tidy up and do laundry…and if anythin' happened, me bein there would calm everyone's hearts," she stated.

"No way. That's obviously impossible." I state in a dry tone.

"It'd be nice if you didn't talk like that. I was just sayin'," She said with a pout.

"Chako, you're going to mind the house while we're gone," I said sternly.

Chako crosses her arms and sticks out her tongue. "I get it, I get it."

~~~Brienna's POV~~~

Let see I need to make sure I have everything I am going to need for this trip. I still have everything in my trunk that is in my tattoo on my arm. Hmm, now what to put in my bag? On second thought, what is already inside my bag. There are a lot of small plastic lidded boxes inside.

The first box has a lot of seeds- fruit, vegetables, and herbs. The second box holds hygiene supplies sans my lady supplies, these are placed are in the third box. The fourth box holds over 30 bottles of water and plenty of dry food that could last a month if shared with other people. Inside this box, there is also another box inside that is filled with fruit that holds plenty of sugar. I have no doubt that Chako is going to sneak into Luna or my bag and come along with us. So, she is going to need fruit to keep her energy up.

The fifth box holds a lot of cooking items. The sixth box holds 10 thick blue blankets and 10 thick blue cloaks. Hmm, they might be needed; I'll keep them inside just in case. The seventh box holds medical supplies.

The last box is filled with several different items. I have a few cans of Bug spray and a few bottles of Sunblock and lastly, I have a few flashlights (Winding up ones. No batteries needed).

There aren't any more boxes but there are other items in my bag. There is the tent that holds over 10 rooms, 20 thick notebooks and a pencil case. I have a large pouch filled with money, a couple of my favourite books and manga. The last items in my bag are four pairs of everyday clothes, undergarments and bedclothes.

Hmm, I don't think I need to put anything else in my bag. I shrink all the eight boxes again and place them back inside my bag. I shrink my tent and place it in my bag. I then place my clothes, undergarments and bedclothes inside.

Just then my door open and Chako comes inside. I knew that my conclusion of her sneaking into either mine or Luna's bag was correct. I can tell by looking at her face.

"Chako, you are going to sneak in Luna's bag aren't you? Fine, but sneak into Luna's room and get me all the items you take out of her bag so you can fit inside."

She quickly runs out my room but comes back not soon after with Luna's pairs of clothes and bedclothes. She only needed to take out her clothes to fit inside Luna's bag then. She hands my Luna's clothes and I place them inside my bag. Chako leaves my room so I get ready for bed and go to sleep.

~~~The Next Morning~~~

Luna wakes up on time this morning and the two of us go downstairs. Luna begins to look around for Chako. "Huh? Chako! We're on our way!" There is a beeping sound from our right. "There's a message." Chako left a message huh? Now she must make it convincing so that Luna doesn't know she is hidden in her backpack.

Its lucky mine has a lightweight charm on it. My bag isn't a backpack like Luna's though. Mine is a shoulder bag, like the one Hermione had.

Luna presses the orange button and a hologram of Chako appears. "I had to go out for a bit, so I can't see you off. Bye! Be careful and see you when you get home!"

"Where did she have to go out to?" She asked me with a confused face.

"I couldn't say. I don't think she mentioned about going out anywhere yesterday so it must have come up this morning." I admit trying to sound confused.

"Ah well, I'll go with a smile." Luna turns around and her backpack weights her down slightly before Luna stands up straight. "It's kinda heavy." I see Chako peek out of Luna's bag before hiding again.

We are early enough to get on the shuttle. But it is packed. I am at the side sitting down so I am not getting squashed, but Luna is in the middle of the crowd. Every time the shuttle does a turn, other people fall into her and push her into another person. Of course, Chako is getting squashed as well and keeps on making noises.

The next time Chako made a sound Luna looks suspiciously at her bag before she shrugs it off. At the next stop, mostly everyone gets off the shuttle. This leaves me and Luna the only ones left in the shuttle compartment. "I thought I was gonna die!" Luna says letting out a sigh of relief.

"Luna! Brienna!" It seems Sharla was in the same shuttle compartment as the pair of us. "Sharla!" Both me and Luna said at the same time.

"We got on the same shuttle. I guess we didn't notice." Sharla says happily.

"It was packed pretty tight, wasn't it?" I state softly.

" Yeah. But Sharla, weren't you going to have your Papa see you off?" Luna questions.

"The thing is, he said he had a meeting all morning. On top of that, he said the Taxi wouldn't make it in time, and to take the shuttle." Sharla replies.

Luna closes her right eye and points one of her fingers in the air. "Yes, yes! That's the most reliable way!"

This sends the three of us to laugh. Luna can make anyone laugh when she put her mind to it.

"That's a well-worn backpack, isn't it? Your bag is too Brienna." Sharla said after seeing our bags.

"This bag used to belong to my mama, she used it when she went to school with my Papa," I admit with a fond look in my eyes.

"My dad used this. Isn't it cool?" Luna states cheerfully.

Sharla smiles but it looks a bit crooked. I don't think she thinks Luna's bag is cool. "Yes…"

"But it seems somehow heavier than when I packed it yesterday." Luna still hasn't realised that Chako is hiding in her bag. Wonder how long it will be before she does.

We don't talk anymore on the way to our destination. We just spent the rest of the time on the shuttle looking out the window.

~~~A While Later~~~

We get off the shuttle and go inside to meet up with the rest of the students going on the same trip. It looks like Menori is overseeing putting us in our groups.

"I'll announce the members of each group. From now on, stay with your group. So that nobody causes harm to our school's name, I'll have you all act with discretion. Well then, first, group 1: Bell; Shingo; Howard; Kaoru; Sharla; Luna; Brienna; Menori."

I am fine with my group. Though I do hope Howard behaves. I don't see him doing that though. I think with a sigh. I ignore the rest of the groups being read out. "We're with Howard. This is terrible." Sharla's gaze firmly on the floor. "It's fine! If he says anything, I'll whack him for you." Luna admits cheerfully. She would as well but then again so would I.

After all the groups had been read out, the teacher tells every group to decide on a leader. I'll pass. I have already been a leader before when it was forced upon me. So, there is no way for me to willing to be one.

"Does anyone want to volunteer…to be group one's leader?" Menori asks all of us. "Howard, don't you want to do it?"

"Not partially." He moves his left hand out to his side. "Doing the roll-call and announcements seem like such a nuisance."

Shingo pushes his glasses further up his nose. "Well, if we're talking about leadership, then Menori's definitely the one best suited."

"Agreed!" Luna calls out, left hand spread out in the air, near her face. Sharla nods her head and makes a sound of agreement.

"Any objections?" Menori questions.

"Fine by me," Howard says as Bell nods his head with a sound of agreement.

Menori picks up her violin case. "Then I will serve as leader. We'll be boarding soon. Follow me." Menori walks off and we all follow behind her though Howard does so reluctantly.

As we were following Menori there is an announcement calls over the speaker system. "All travellers to the Jupiter-2 satellite, please board at this time. I repeat: All travellers to the Jupiter-2 satellite, please board at this time."

When inside people are placing their bags in a separate area. I'm not putting my bag away. I'm keeping my bag on me at all times. Luna starts to put her bag away, but a sound comes from inside.

"Ehh? Don't tell me…" Luna trails off.

"It was your imagination," Chako says causing Luna's eyes to widen in surprise.

Luna opens her bag to see Chako inside. She finally discovered that Chako was there. "Hello."

"Chako!" Luna exclaims quietly.

"I didn't stow away. It looked like a bed, so I crawled in here for a nap. I'm surprised too." Chako admits sheepishly.

"Luna, what happened?" Sharla asks from behind us.

Luna panics before shoving Chako back into her bag and zipping it shut. "Nothing at all!" She then whispers quietly to Chako. "You stay here and stay quiet! Got that?"

"I don't wanna! It's small and dark!" Chako whines back to Luna.

Luna makes an annoyed face before moving her face closer to her bag. "Don't ask for luxury!"

"Who are you talking to?" Sharla asks once again after hearing Luna voice softly.

A big grin appears on Luna's face before she turns to face Sharla. "Myself, of course!" She does up her bag, but she pulls it tight before picking up her backpack and placing it on her right shoulder.

"You're not going to leave your backpack here? Aren't you either Brienna?" Sharla queries.

"My bag is important to me, so I need it on me at all times," I confess a soft look in my eyes.

"If I don't keep my eyes on it, I'll worry about it the whole time." Luna laughs.

"An announcement: The ship will momentarily take off from this shuttle station. Please take your seats and fasten your seatbelts." A female voice states.

We take our seats and I make sure that my bag is secure. Luna places her bag on her lap.

The shuttle starts to move, causing all of us to hold on to our seats. "Low-gravity system in operation… low-gravity system in operation…"

Sharla, Luna and I look out the window when the fast movement of the shuttle stops. I still am not completely used to living up in space, but it is something new and I can't be bothered by the wizarding world as they don't even know that I am female, my real name or even where I am. It sure is pretty in space. All the stars and planets up close.

"The ship has left the gravity well. Artificial gravity will engage shortly. Please wait until then." The female voice once again states. Luna's bag with Chako inside floats up to the top of the shuttle. When the gravity is activated Luna's bag falls to the floor with a thump. Luna picks it up and quietly apologises to Chako.

"Hey, want to look around the ship?" Luna asks Sharla and me excitedly.

"Sure!" Sharla replies cheerfully. I make a sound of agreement. Sharla and I leave our seat and walk in the other direction with Luna.

As we were walking by the windows Luna makes a comment that both I and Sharla agree with. "It's beautiful!" Luna looks in front of her and makes a surprised sound. I follow her gaze to see that Kaoru was looking out one of the windows. We walk up to where Kaoru is. "Hey, want to explore the ship with us?" He looks in our direction and our gazes lock once again for a few seconds before he turns away and looks back out the window. Luna catches on that he doesn't want to. "Well, maybe next time." With that being said, we begin walking off, leaving Kaoru to gaze out the window.

When we were little ways away from Kaoru, Luna turns to Sharla. "Hey, is Kaoru always like that?"

"As far as I can remember, he almost never hangs out with people," Sharla replies.

"He likes to be alone," Luna states softly.

"Let go of me!" We walk forward to see Shingo. He is being held up by the back of his jumper by one of the staff employees. "What are you doing?"

"Can't you see? No entry beyond this point. Don't come 'round here again!" The staff employee ordered.

"What's the problem? I just want to take a little look!" Shingo complains.

"No way!" The staff employee says, letting go of Shingo's jacket causing him to fall to the floor. With that done, he walks away and enters the area Shingo was just trying to get inside too. "Jerk! Nya~" Shingo then sticks his tongue out.

We walk closer to Shingo. Luna calls out Shingo's name and Sharla asked what happened. He tried getting into a room that is restricted, didn't he?

He folds his arms across his chest. "I just wanted to have a peek at the power plant. They don't know how to treat their customers."

I knew it. I think with an amused sigh.

"So, you say, but isn't this a little excessive?" Luna says.

"Of course not! But it seemed a little interesting." Shingo admits sheepishly.

We are interrupting from talking anymore when we heard Howard's voice. "What, no entry?"

It is Howard and Menori. Howard is trying to go places where we have been told we are not allowed to go to. But then again, since when does he listen to anyone's instructions.

"You must have been told during the pre-departure instructions. Entry into the amusement area is forbidden." Menori says, both hands on her hips.

"But they said it would be a fun school trip. Don't contradict that now." Howard says, hand in his hair, with a cocky voice.

"Don't let me hear you say that again! Return to your cabin."Menori's tone holding no arguments.

"Howard let's go back." one of Howard's lackeys said.

"I don't care if your dad's in the space Commonwealth parliament or whatever. Don't take that tone with me. You'll catch hell for this." Howard says as he was walking away with his Lackey's and Bell following.

I knew he would try and cause trouble. I once again think, letting out a sigh. We move into a restaurant area and get ourselves a drink.

"Our group is definitely the worst," Sharla comments unhappily.

Luna closes both her eyes and lifts one of her hands up, leaning her elbow against the table. "That's it! They put all the problem children in one pack."

"Ehh? Why would they do something like that?" Sharla asks surprised.

"If you put them in one group, and add in Menori, the school will have an easier time managing them," Shingo says, holding back his laughter.

"I see. Hold on! Does that mean I'm a problem child too?" Sharla began before her voice ended in a panicked tone.

"I can't remember the four of us even being a problem. But I suppose right Luna?" I acknowledge holding back a smile.

"Naturally!" Luna exclaims.

Sharla hold one of Luna's arms "Why?"

"I'm kidding!" Luna replies, laughing.

"In that case…" I could hear the genuine laughter in Sharla's voice.

There is a bang that causes us to nearly fall out of our chairs. Menori appears in front of us and orders us to gather around the teacher. We do as our told and find the teacher.

As we all gather around our teacher the speaker system once again goes off. "A large gravity storm is approaching. The ship will enter emergency warp to avoid it. All passengers, please move to the escape shuttles."

"Calm down! Do you have all your members? Groups which are confirmed, move to the escape shuttles." The teacher calls out to us.

"I'm Levinson, the ship's captain. If we perform warp navigation, we can avoid the gravity storm. Take care during the evacuation to the escape shuttles. Everyone, please move calmly."

"This is also a time to calmly take the initiative. Let's go." Menori orders.

We follow after Menori to one of the escape shuttles. One by one we climb inside.

"This is my first time in an escape shuttle," Shingo says his voice excited.

"Ohh, it's even got a cockpit," Howard exclaims happily.

Howard jumps into one of the seats at the front and Shingo sits in the other. "Awesome. I feel like a pilot." Howard says moving one of the levers with both his hands.

"Howard! Don't press things recklessly!" Luna scolds him.

"Exactly." Menori agrees.

The shuttle shakes a little causing all of us to fall slightly. Luckily I was near a seat, so I didn't fall very far.

"Return to your seats quickly!" Menori demands.

All of us apart from Howard listen. "Shut up! Bell, get out my camera!"

"Camera?" Bell asks confused.

"Yeah, I had you carry it around. Take one in commemoration." Howard demands.

Bell gets out his camera, but this makes Luna annoyed. "Don't fool around!"

Luna and Howard start to argue but I tune them out. I don't want a headache. The escape shuttle shakes, once again knocking some of us over. Menori orders Howard to move away from the cockpit and to join the rest of us back here but of course, Howard being Howard doesn't listen. All he does is tell Menori to stop ordering him around. The shaking is happening more often. We must be closer to the storm.

"All passengers, please remain in your seats and fasten your seatbelts." The female voice states.

"Howard!" Luna calls out.

"Everyone, fasten your seatbelts!" Menori orders all of us.

I go to the seat to the left of Kaoru and put on my seatbelt. My bag is securely at my side. Howard puts on his seatbelt, but he doesn't leave the seat from up the front, claiming he likes it up there. At least he has his seatbelt on. It doesn't really matter where he is sitting.

"Luna, that's enough. Hurry up and take your seat." Menori tells her.

Luna rushes back to her seat and puts on her seatbelt.

"Warp will occur in ten seconds. Nine…Eight…Seven…Six…Five…Four…Three…"

Our shuttle begins to shake lightly. I look up at the same time as Luna and look out the front window. Menori does the same.

"Is the warp over?" Luna asks.

"I don't think so," I add looking out the window.

"Wrong. Look!" Menori replies pointing towards the window.

Everyone is now looking out the front window. "What happened?" Howard states in a confused voice.

Shingo removes his seatbelt and nearly falls over but Luna who had also removed her seatbelt steadied him. Shingo makes his way up to the front with Luna and Menori following, only after Menori orders no one else to leave their seats.

"The ship is gone." Luna began.

"What does this mean?" Menori interrupts.

"The ship probably warped…" Luna starts while Shingo finishes explaining for her. "…and before that, only our escape shuttle was cut loose."

Howard starts to panic once again. But Luna and Menori try and calm him down. The escape shuttle shakes violently this time. Are we being pulled into the storm? By how violently the shuttle just shook I would think so.

"At this rate, we'll be swallowed up by the storm!" Shingo's voice panicked.

"Luna, what's happened? What's going on?" Sharla insisted panicked.

"Hurry up and do something!" Howard demands hotly.

"We can't warp?" Menori asks calmly.

"Escape shuttles don't have that kind of equipment," Shingo replies.

We are sucked further into the storm. The shuttle is shaking and the equipment at the front is exploding. Everyone is holding onto something to make sure that they don't fall and injure themselves.
