"Good morning, sleepyhead." Matt opened his eyes and was face to face with an angel with dazzling hazel eyes, but then realized it had been Mimi who greeted him and he screamed.
"AHHHH!!" Matt screamed startled as he jumped back hitting his head on the space-helmet he hung next to his Pilot-seat.
Mimi laughed.
"Oh man, I think feel the headache from yesterday coming back," Matt said rubbing his head.
"Hahaha…… Your such a retard Matt." Mimi laughed
"I'm the retard? How am I, the Great Yamato Ishida, son of the Sergeant of Earth's military, hero of the daughter of General Tachikawa, hottest guy in all the universe, 'Da' Man'………" Matt was going to continue his list of "great" qualities, when Mimi interrupted him.
"Okay, okay, I was just kidding with you……… I get your point Matt," She rolled her eyes.
Matt looked over to check how much gas is left since the incident yesterday. His face's color totally vanished, faster then you can say 'dead meat'.
'Oh no, there's only a fourth of a tank of gas, that's just enough to go several hundred miles' Matt thought as he slowly started to panic.
'It's okay Matt, just, just, OH WHO AM I KIDDING?!!!'
"Uh…Meems?" Matt asked
"yeah?" Mimi replied
"We kinda have a slight prob." Matt said getting a lil' uneasy.
"W…W…What do you mean?" Mimi asked a lil' uncomfortably, sensing the uneasiness in Matt's voice.
Matt pointed towards the gas gauge, then Mimi freaked out as the Deja' Vu of her accident came back, the gas gauge read a fourth-full 2 hours before her Unit crashed.
"O…o……oh n…no. Matt? What are we gonna do? That'll only last for, the most, 2 hours." Mimi said a little panicked.
"Well, since the fuel is made out of a chemical in the Sun's radiation, and there IS a mineral containing the same stuff. Where we are right now the Sun's light is scarce. We're gonna have to find the fuel in the form of the mineral fast. Or else………" Matt didn't dare to finish what he was saying.
"Or else?" Mimi asked worried
"Um………Hey I think we should get going!!" Matt started the engine
"Matt don't change the subject, you didn't answer my question." Mimi said a little worried as she pulled herself in front of Matt staring into his eyes.
"Or else what?" She asked again, with concern
"*sigh* Mimi……I don't want to say this to you……why don't we just get going and……" Matt said trying to avoid her eyes, but was cut off.
"Matt. Or else what?" She asked for the third time placing her hands on his shoulders.
"Or else…… We'll die for sure." Matt said defeated, as he looked down at his feet sadly.
Mimi suddenly felt the words sink in and pulled back, now kneeling, staring down at the floor terrified. Matt looked up and saw Mimi starting to cry.
"Oh…come on, Meems," he said as he leaned forward giving her a hug, "I'm sure we'll be fine, looked what has happened so far. We got out of a huge meteor storm and hurricane. Well……I did most of the work on the meteor storm thing, and the hurricane was just luck……and this comet just happened to fly by as we were flying, or floating, or……huh?"
Matt started to ramble and confused himself, making Mimi laugh.
"Matt," Mimi asked,
"Yeah?"
"You're so hard headed." She laughed again as she playfully hit his arm.
"WHAT?!! Oh thanks a lot Meems, I try to cheer you up and you call me hard headed?" Matt asked hurt.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Mimi apologized sincerely.
"*sniff* Okies, you're forgiven. Wait, what's that?" Matt asked pointing at a spot on her suit.
'Okies? Where the hell did that come from?' Matt asked himself
"Huh?" Mimi looked down and Matt flicked her nose.
Matt started to laugh at the now red Mimi.
"HEY!! That was NOT funny!" She smacked him
"OW!!!" Matt yelped
"Oh shut-up," Mimi said back rolling her eyes, "That did SO not hurt."
"Hey? You ticklish Meems?"
"Why do you ask Ma……" Mimi was cut off as she started to laugh as Matt tickled her.
They both laughed, which brightened the mood. Matt pulled the lever, pushed a couple of buttons and flew off, with the thought of the "amount of gas-problem" gone.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
Out in the distance Matt saw a planet; it was very small, smaller than Earth. When suddenly……
BARGHWOOSHHH!!!!
A huge piece of a, once was, Space-Jet.
"Oh. My. God." Matt said as all he could see were bits and pieces of jet parts floating around.
"What is it M…*Gasps* oh my god!! What happened here?" Mimi exclaimed as she saw the mess too.
Matt pushed a couple of buttons, he then gasped.
"What Matt? What is it?" Mimi asked concerned
"Apparently the Jet's Navigation was slightly thrown off in the hurricane on Neptune, we are now heading towards Pluto!!" Matt's voice became louder and panicked as he explained to Mimi what has happened.
"WHAT?!! Matt!! What are we gonna do?" Mimi was now freaking out, she didn't know what to do, they're almost out of gas and they're in Earth's enemy's territory.
'I feel like this has been a soap opera' Matt thought (A/N heh heh ^_^: isn't that thought ironic)
Every second their gas was getting less and less, pieces of jet parts flew about as Matt had to make the hardest decision ever.
"We're landing." he said
"what?" Mimi asked
"You heard me, we're landing." Matt said
"But where? Where are we gonna land? We can't land on Plu…" Mimi asked
"Damn right we are Meems." Matt said a lil' harsher than he had expected
"But Matt, those are where the Plutonians live!! OUR enemy's! Why they'd skin alive!" Mimi argued
"Mimi…please just trust me, you've trusted me this far. I think you can do it again." Matt replied , his voice softer.
"I can't trust you in this situation because I KNOW FOR A FACT YOU'RE DRAGGING BOTH OF US TO OUR GRAVES BY DOING THIS!!" Mimi replied harshly back!
'Why are you doing this Matt? I…I don't understand why'd you'd risk this much.'
"MIMI!!!" Matt snapped, but than clamed himself down after looking at her hurt expression, "*Sigh* Mimi, I know what your thinking. But I would much rather risk it on Pluto to get some fuel, and may be have a slim chance of coming back alive, then staying out here and suffocate cuz' our gas ran out."
This made Mimi think,
'May be he is right, after all he did get training from Daddy.'
"All right Matt, I'll trust you; but you have better hope this works! Or your whole point of saving me and taking me back home alive would've been just a big waste of time."
"Okay Meems, Thanx." Matt replied relieved that Mimi agreed with him.
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Hey Matt, that spot looks pretty secluded, may be we can land there?" Mimi asked pointing towards a specific place on Pluto.
"Huh? Ya, I think that's fine, we have to land anyways, the gas is pretty much out." Matt replied
The two of them cautiously but quickly landed on a secluded land out in the flat lands of Pluto.
"Meems? You did plug your suit into the heat-insulator before we landed?" Matt asked
"Of course Matt, I'm not THAT forgetful you know." Mimi replied
"Okay Meems."
They cautiously walked out onto the surface of Pluto, the silence and darkness sent chills down Matt and Mimi's back. They started to head toward a bright City in the distance.
^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^ 36 hours before Matt and Mimi arrived on Pluto *^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Target acquired." A brunette said.
"Uh……Tai……?"
"Yes comrade?"
"*sczhhh szchhh*…… there's ……… *szchhh szchh* …… a change of plans……" Said a blond a couple years younger than the brunette.
"What do you mean……*szchhh szchh* ……TK?" Tai asked
"I mean, Matt ain't here." TK replied.
"*Sczhh*…so?" Tai replied
"Matt's job is……*sczhhh*……to lead the back-up we're gonna use on the Plutonians……*sczhhh*…Without him it's practically impossible to call a diversion!" TK said
"WHAT'S THAT GOTTA DO WITH ME?!" Tai asked annoyed
" Well…We're part of your teams back-up………*sczhhh* So if we don't have anyone to lead then we can't……… oh no…… ARRGHHH…!!" TK screamed, but something had cut their connection off.
"TK?……TK?!! TK?!!! YOU STILL THERE?!!
*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*Present time with Matt and Mimi^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^*^
"Matt? Why are we heading towards the BIG city? Wouldn't it be safer if we went the other way?" Mimi asked as they were still walking.
"Well, no actually, see……unlike Earth, Pluto and other planets out here have only one MAJOR, and big, city and then the rest are just very, very, small villages through out the planet." Matt stated
"So?" Mimi asked
"well…… Every major city on a planet has a Mine, titanium mines, crystallized-nuclear mines, and well in this case…… 'Solar-gas'-mines. But the mines are well secluded from the city because it's mostly underground." Matt replied intelligently.
"oh… Oh yes, Daddy did say something like that to me once when I was a little girl." Mimi said
'hmm… For some reason something about all those space jet parts flying around didn't feel right, as if I've seen them before.' Matt thought
"You okay Matt?" Mimi asked
"huh?… OH!! yeah…yeah… I'm fine why do you ask?" Matt said smiling.
"Oh nothing, you just looked like you had something on your mind that was bothering you." Mimi replied
'Actually, I was hoping you noticed as well that those jet parts floating around earlier were our army's.' Mimi thought
