The Botsfords and Star were all still in the living room. Mr. and Mrs. Botsford were having light hearted chat about Becky and Earth. They were thinking that since Star would have to be seen on Earth, then she'd have to learn a few Earth customs and ways to fit in. T.J. would occasionally chime in to the conversation and give Star pointers. Becky, however, was silently watching Star. She had to know what that-that thing was. It most certainly wasn't just Star being lost in thought. She could tell that much. It seemed to be more like a memory or dream. All Becky knew was that whatever it was, it wasn't good. Whoever that was, he knew Star's name. He said that he and Star's mother had told her something, so perhaps he was her father.
"Our Father."
Becky reminded herself. That thought made her angry. If her father would do something like that, she didn't know what she'd do. She had to find out if that was a memory or not. Suddenly, she got an idea that just might help her find out.
"Hey T.J.?"
"Yeah Becky?"
"Why don't we see if we could explore this spaceship. It could be really fun, and maybe we could learn a little more about Lexicon."
Becky said happily. T.J. stopped for a moment to ponder the idea.
"Yeah, okay. Let's ask."
Becky then turned to her big sister.
"Hey Star, can T.J. and I look around a bit?"
At Star's dubious look Becky hastily added,
"Bob can come, too!"
Star knew that the monkey was responsible and would keep her sister and T.J. out of trouble, so she didn't mind them exploring a little.
"Okay, go ahead. Just don't get lost!"
She said happily.
Within seconds the three of them were out of there.
-LINEBREAKLINEBREAK-
"Umm, Becky do you know where we're going?"
"Of course I do. This ship's layout is almost exactly the same as my ship's."
T.J. wasn't sure he believed her. They seemed to be going in circles. All they saw was the same pattern of red door, yellow door, blue door over and over again. It seemed like his big sis had some other reason for exploring other that just fun. She had the most serious look on her face and he would have to ask her if she had x-ray vision with the way she was looking at the contents of each room they looked into. It was as though she saw something he didn't. Or, maybe, she was searching for something. That idea sparked a lot of curiosity in the boy. His assumptions were confirmed when Becky opened another door. It was different from all the thers. It was red, but instead of it having a different colored star in the middle or yet another colored border, it was completely red. As soon as Bob saw the door he went crazy. He began pulling on Becky as she reached for the handle. One problem came to Bob's attention, though, Becky had super strength.
He didn't.
Becky opened the door to the room and stepped inside. T.J. followed suit. There was a reason why Bob didn't want them in that room. A good one indeed.
"Becky, what is this?!"
"I don't really know T.J. I don't really know.
Ooh cliffy... I hope you enjoy. Please review.
