A/N: Thank you to helenofargos and mad eye harry for reviewing the last two chapters! And as for the rest of you...*glares*
Allie watched everyone dancing as Theta grabbed food from different waiters that walked by. Allie suddenly noticed how different all the people looked. Some looked just like the Humans she was used to: white, tan, brown, or black skin with brown, blonde, black, or red hair. But most of them had blue skin with red hair, or purple skin with yellow hair, or green skin with orange hair. Everyone looked like they had gotten into a really bad paint fight.
"Theta..." Allie said and he turned to her. "Why is everyone...um...different colors?"
"Well it's the year 5,000. Humans have evolved. Give it a million more years, you'll barely be able to recognize that they are human!" Theta told her.
Just then a waitress with pink skin and green hair walked past with a plate of something that looked like mini corn dogs. Theta grabbed one and plopped it into his mouth and immediately spit it out into a napkin.
"Don't eat those." He told Allie and walked away to find something to wash the taste out of his mouth.
Allie smirked and went back to watching the dancers. A waitress with skin that looked like she had had a bad experience with a spray tan walked up to Allie.
"Would you like a drink?" She asked her.
Allie looked at the the champagne glasses filled with some kind of green concoction and remembered Theta's face after he ate the corn dog things. "No thank you." She said politely.
"Are you sure?" The waitress pushed the drinks toward her.
Allie looked slightly startled. "Uh...yes, yes I'm sure."
"You don't sound sure." The waitress said matter of factly.
Allie looked at her. "I don't want a drink."
The waitress stood up a little straighter and gave Allie a long look. "Very well." She walked off, but not before whispering into a nearby waiter's ear, "Make sure she has a drink by the end of the night."
Theta walked back into the ballroom after finally finding a bathroom and rinsing his mouth out. Maybe he should pay closer attention to what he eats. A waiter walked up to him.
"Would you like a drink, sir?" He asked.
Theta looked at the green drink the waiter was holding out to him. "Sure." He took one.
The waiter gave a nod and walked off to a group of women.
Theta went to take sip, and stopped. The drink smelled...off. He was sure there was something about it...something he had learned in one of his classes at the Academy. Something about...
Theta dropped the drink and looked around. He had to find Allie.
A third waiter walked up to Allie and offered her a drink. She glanced around at everyone else drinking it and having a good time. She figured that these waiters would stop at nothing to get her to have a drink.
"Alright." She took one of the drinks. The waiter walked away, satisfied. She took a cautious sip. It tasted good like...she wasn't sure what it tasted like but she liked it. She took another sip.
Theta pushed his way through people, trying to find Allie. Was there this many people a few minutes ago? He wasn't sure. They all had the green drinks in there hand. What if Allie already had one? He hoped they could get out of here before something goes wrong.
Allie had finished her glass and was looking to get a refill. They were so good! She grabbed one from a waitress walking by.
"Hello." A voice said behind Allie. She turned to find herself face to face with a really good looking guy. He had blue skin and short bright yellow hair.
"Hi." Allie said and smiled.
"What's your name?" He asked her.
Allie thought for a moment. She couldn't really remember. "I don't remember." She said truthfully.
"Me either." He told her.
For some reason Allie found this funny and started laughing. The guy started laughing with her. In the back of Allie's mind a little voice was screaming that there was something wrong, but she ignored it.
"Would you like to dance?" The guy asked once their laughter had faded.
"Okay." Allie said and downed the rest of her drink. He pulled her out onto the dance floor.
Theta had walked all around the ballroom and he still could not find her. He saw a flash of blonde hair on the dance floor. He pushed his way through all the people to find Allie...dancing with some guy.
"Allie!" Theta called to her. She didn't seem to hear him.
He walked up to her and grabbed her arm. "Allie we have to go."
She stared at him blankly. "Who's Allie?"
Theta felt his stomach drop to the floor. "Your Allie. That's your name. And I'm Theta. Please, Allie, please remember."
Allie continued to stare blankly at him.
Theta started to pull her. "Allie, come on, we have to get out of here."
She pulled her arm out of his grasp. "I don't wanna go. I'm having fun."
Theta reached for her again. "Allie..."
Everyone was thrown to the ground as the ship stopped moving.
A/N: Hello! Sorry for the wait but I've had I-know-where-I-want-to-go-with-this-story-I-just-don't-know-how-to-get-there block. And then I finally wrote out the chapter and my computer died...and I didn't save it. So I hope that this chapter made up for the wait...REVIEW!
