It was a hot Sunday night.
Colorado and Arizona were sitting in Colorado's room, playing video games as Colorado talked about a new fitness app his people had made.
His phone rang. He picked it up— a FaceTime call, actually.
"Hello?"
"Hi, Colorado, hi. It's California."
"I know. I can see you."
California was panting. "You'll never believe what I— Why is Arizona in your room?"
Colorado flinched. His fear was palpable. "Um... I..." He sighed. "I was just— just talking about a new fitness app for working out—,"
California sighed. "You're too much like America," he frowned.
Colorado frowned. "What was it you wanted to tell me?" He prompted.
"So you'll never believe it. I saw... aliens. There's this weird—,"
"Aliens? Did you say aliens? You saw aliens?!" Arizona took Colorado's phone from him, shoving him aside. She was excited, though, so Colorado didn't really mind.
"You saw aliens?" She asked again.
"Yeah. There's like, this glowing cloud, and it's like really big."
"What? No way. Show me it!"
"I don't want to go outside," California admitted.
"Don't be a namby-pamby, California!"
"Fine. Fine!" California went outside. Colorado heard cursing, but he didn't bother to look. If Arizona wasn't worried, he wouldn't be either.
"Woah! No way! That thing's huge!" Arizona said.
"I know," California said nervously. "The power went out awhile ago. Everyone is nervous."
Colorado looked over, frowning. "California, that's... That's the Milky Way."
I'm on mobile. Please tell me if formatting is weird and I'll try to fix it. I've had this sitting in my drafts for quite some time now, so I figured I would transfer it.
