Zar was still thinking about where they could be going, though she had no possible idea, seeing as she was just created maybe two hours ago. Finally, Kudo actually said something.
"Hey, you better amuse yourself, we'll be going for a while…around six months." Zar's eyes got wide,
"S-six months?!" She stammered, glancing at D.E.R, who had preoccupied himself trying to catch his own shadow. Obviously, all he caught was the wall and a slight concussion.
"Whee! Hello wall!" He chirped, waving at the ship's inside hull. Zar blinked, then turned back to Kudo.
"You're kidding…right?" She asked hopefully.
"Absolutely serious."
"Curse you."
Kudo just laughed and rested his arms behind his head.
"I have it on auto-pilot now. I'm going to sleep, you should too. 'Night." He finished, closing his eyes for much-needed rest. Zar averted her gaze and noticed Voot had some kind of electronic drawing pad out. She looked over his shoulder and watched him for a little while. It looked like he was drawing those two Tall ones she saw earlier. She pointed at his drawing,
"Who are they?" She asked. Voot looked up and smiled.
"Those are the Almighty Tallest. They rule Irk." Zar quietly contemplated this for a moment.
"How do they get to that position?" Voot looked confused.
"Huh?"
"How'd they get to be the rulers?" She persisted.
"The monarchy is based on height. They're the Tallest. Didn't you know that?" He seemed shocked at her lack of comprehension, but shrugged when she didn't answer and went back to drawing. He clicked a button on the side and a table of colors sprang up, he clicked one with the pen and started to color them in. 'Yup, those are the guys I saw.' Zar thought, looking down at the small artist at work. She watched for maybe five minutes more, then they both started to get bored, Voot saved the picture and proceeded to ERASE THE TALLEST'S HEADS. He giggled to himself.
"Look! They have no heads! Run like chickens! Chickens I say!" He yelled out, Zar laughing at his little antics. Voot suddenly got a bright idea.
"Hey! Sing-a-long!" He quipped, starting a lively round of 'This is the song that never ends'….
Two months later…
"John, Jacob, Jingelheimer Schmidt! His name is my name too!"
"Whenever we go out, the people always shout, there goes John, Jacob, Jingelheimer Schmidt! Da da da da da da da da!"
Another two months…
(A little more slowly…) "I'm a little piece of tin, nobody knows where I have been…"
Six months are over
"Old Mcdonald had a farm…eyi…eyi…Oh…"
"Voot…if you don't shut up right now…I'll come back there and make you…" Grumbled a slightly lethargic Kudo, who was now leaning sideways on the seat, eye twitching. Zar was slouched about as far as anyone could go, and D.E.R…well…he was still singing at the top of his lungs…Although no one was quite sure what…
"DO THE DISCO!!! Doo doo doo, doo doo doo doo doo…"
And just when it seemed that Kudo would surely snap and kill them all…
"WARNING!!! PLANET AHEAD!!! WARNING!!! PREPARE FOR LANDING, AUTO-PILOT OFF." The computer screamed out, jolting them all into reality. Kudo grabbed the wheel while Voot grabbed the sides of the seat and D.E.R grabbed Voot's head.
"You better hang on Zar…" Kudo warned, "This could be rough…"
