That night, Kat lay in bed. She couldn't sleep—her thoughts were overtaking
her. Suddenly, she heard a crash, and then hurried footsteps. Immediately,
she thought of Leo, and leapt out of bed, dressing, and running down the
corridor.
It was just as she'd thought: Leo was about to take one of the pods, undoubtedly to search for Pericles. "Leo" she cried, and ran into the pod. Just at that moment, the doors closed, and he took off. It was too late. The two of them were both stuck in the tiny cockpit.
"Kat, what are you doing?" Leo exploded.
"What are you doing? We have no idea where Pericles could be! This is dangerous, and foolish. You're endangering yourself, and this pod."
"Okay, we're going back and dropping you off." Leo stated firmly.
"Leo, no! We're going back and both of us are getting off." Kat knew it was pointless: Leo was headstrong, and when he became determined, there was no stopping him.
They flew in quickly, landed, and Leo immediately took off again. Kat knew she had one thing to do, and jumped in another one of the pods. She closed the doors, and a few seconds later was zooming after Leo.
"Leo, where do you think Pericles has gone?" She asked over the radio.
"KAT! What the fuck are you doing!" Leo roared.
"I'm following you, because I'm every bit as impetuous as you are." She responded. And I'm not going to let him go alone, she thought to herself, silently.
"Kat, you moron. Go back—this is something I have to do, and I don't want you to get hurt because of me." Leo sighed, tiredly attempting to persuade her to return.
"Leo, if we're going to find Pericles, you might as well accept the fact that I'm coming too."
"Fine." Leo resignedly replied. "I'm not sure. As you know, he was headed into that big storm. I thought I—we—might as well go over and find out what exactly it is."
"Copy that. Let's go." She accelerated past him, egging him into a race.
"Holy shit!" Kat heard the crackling of the radio, and then felt herself twisting, and shaking, and losing control.
At once, the two pods dropped into the sky of a green, luscious planet.
