Meenah appears really excited and tell you to pack up whatever you want to take. There is plenty of room on the ship and the drones will help you carry everything.

Aghhhhhhhh…..what to pack?

You eventually decide to pack all of your clothes, you FLARPing outfits, your computer, your favorite movies and books (you have a lot of favorites) and a few other things. You jam them into a few blue suitcases with pictures of cobwebs and spiders on them.

You put your Fluorite Octet and pirate sword in your strife portfolio and use your 8-Ball fetch modus to take some smaller items with you, like some magic 8 balls, some buckets, and a few other things you'd like to have with you.

You look around your room and notice that all that's left is your recuperacoon and some FLARP posters and cheat guides lying around. You tuck the posters and cheat guides underneath your arm and walk downstairs, saying,

"Meenah, all of my stuff is packed and it's upstairs."

"Already, spidertroll? Wow, you're quick."

"So are we going now?" you ask.

"Yeah…just let me get in touch with Condense so she can send a Crocker Corp. ship to us."

Meenah takes her phone out of her pocket and logs onto her Trollian account. She sends a quick message to her ancestor and puts the phone back into her pocket, saying,

"It'll be here in a few minutes."

"Condense has a Trollian account?" you ask.

"Yeah, I made her get one so I could talk to her without having to see her face."

The ship arrives in a few minutes. Surprisingly, no one steered the huge bright red thing to you two, it was on auto-pilot the entire time.

Meenah helps you load your stuff onto the ship but before you take off, you ask,

"Can I just take one last look at my hive?"

"Shore thing, spidertroll. You know, you don't have to go through with this if you don't want to. It's okay."

"I want to go, Meenah, I just want to see this place one last time. I've pretty much been here my entire life."

She pats you on the back and says, "Okay…I have somefin I need to take care of too."

Your matesprite follows you off of the ship but goes outside.

You walk inside and look at your hive, examining each room for a little while .This is the last time you will ever see this place…

As you finish looking around one last time you begin to tear up a little, making your vision blurry. You're not upset about leaving; you're just really sentimental at times like this.

'I guess it's time to go,' you tell yourself.

You leave your hive and give it one last look from the outside as Meenah walks up to you with her 2X3 Dent in hand. She says,

"I'm not sure if I want to leave without my best weapon so it's better safe than sorry."

You respond, "Don't worry. I decided to put my Fluorite Octet in my strife portfolio."

Meenah laughs, "We must share a hive mind or somefin."

You ask, "Wait, before we go is there anything you need to pack?"

"I've had my stuff packed and ready to go on this ship for a really long time and I checked it while you were inside. Everything's there."

"So then we're ready to go?"

"Whale…not yet. Can I ask you for another favor?"

"Of course, Meenah. What is it?"

"You know how all of Condense's descendants aren't supposed to ever cut their hair?"

"Yeah."

"Whale…since we're leaving I figured I wouldn't have to worry about that rule anymore and I want to do one last rebellious thing before we go…"

You piece everything together and know what she wants.

You say, "You want me to cut your hair, right?"

"Yes, Aranea, I would motherglubbing love that!"

"You'll look so cute with short hair, Meenah!"

"Spidertroll…," she says, pretending to be annoyed.

"What?" you ask.

"I don't care how I look; I just want it cut off."

"Whale…you'll still look cute. Now I think I have scissors somewhere inside…"

You go inside and fumble through some drawers in the bathroom until you find the right scissors. You actually cut your own hair with these even though you're not really good at it. No wonder why your hair's always a mess.

That reminds you…you need to still take a shower. You've gotten so sidetracked today. 'Oh well…it can wait a little longer,' you tell yourself.

You grab the scissors and go back downstairs to see Meenah and ask her how short she wants her hair cut.

"You're being way too fussy. Just cut off both of my braids and call it a glubbing day."

"Are you shore?" you ask.

"It'll grow back," she says.

And with that you hack off both of her braids with the scissors.

Your matesprite chuckles and says, "That feels so much better. Thanks, Aranea."

You answer, "No problem, Meenah. You look cute with short hair…just like I said you would."

Her face turns slightly pink as she says, "Whale come on, Mindfang, let's get on board the ship!"

"Aye aye, Captain!"

You hold your matesprite's hand as you two board the ship, ready to venture into the unknown…
