"Care for a cup of coffee?"
"Please. I could use one. Thank you."
"Want anything in it? Or just black?"
"Black is the only way to drink coffee. I don't care if you're floating through space or sitting down to eat supper. Black coffee is the best no matter what."
"Good to know if I ever end up in space."
"You don't believe me, do you?" Ripley said with her hand on her hip.
"About what? The coffee thing or space?" Caitlin asked as she turned the coffee maker on.
"Being in space."
"Hey, you wouldn't believe me if I said my boyfriend can run through time." She countered while turning around to face the lady.
"Do what now?"
"Yeah." Caitlin said as she went to grab a couple mugs. "He should be back pretty soon."
"Is this some sort of contest to see who has the better stories?"
"No. If you want it to be, I'm all ears. Shoot."
"Aliens, an alien queen, and my daughter. All in one story."
"Now you have my attention." Caitlin replied as she sat down.
