Alright everyone, time for a big event in this story. So, here's chapter 9.

Chapter 9: Ulysses Approaching.

It's now the last day of school and the Tunesquad members are glad to survive their first year of high school. After gathering for a group photo, some start having conversations. Some Tunesquad members are little not going to enjoy the first few months due to the fact that the world is in the face of an alleged impending apocalypse.

"So, do you have any plans to see Ulysses?" Tina asked.

"Not if Stonehenge does its job to stop it." Bugs replied.

In 1994,the International Astronomist Union discovered an asteroid first labeled '1994XF04' and later renamed 'Ulysses' is on a collision course with Earth. The asteroid is scheduled to collided with Earth on July 3rd, 2009. The US government decides to build Stonehenge, a battery of rail guns capable of targeting and destroying asteroid fragments in orbit. Two other countries are building asteroid interception systems, but are not complete. So the world is depending on Stonehenge to do its job since the scheduled date is next month.

Bugs is not looking forward to this probably apocalyptic event, although he will be watching the meteor shower. He's been thinking if he should tell Lola that he loves her or he tells her later if Stonehenge performs successfully and he'll live to see another day. For Lola, she's been thinking the same thing about Bugs.

As school is now over, Bugs and Lola bumped each other at the hallway.

"Oh, hey Lola." said Bugs.

"Hi Bugs." Lola said.

"Well, summer vacation is here." Bugs said starting a conversation.

"Yeah. So, do you have any plans to see Ulysses?" Lola asked.

"Yes and no. I'm gonna see the meteor shower, but I just hope it's not the end of the world." Bugs answered.

"Me too. I just hope Stonehenge performs well so that we can live to see another day." Lola said.

"Yeah, well, I hope you have a good summer break Lola. I'll see you next school year, if there IS a next school year." Bugs said.

"yeah, same to you Bugs." Lola said with a worried tone.

With that, both headed home for their summer break. Both hope they'll be able to see each other again if the end of the world is averted.

I know, the chapter is short again in this story. I still hope you review it.
