10 years after.
Viz was walking down the streets of the city one night. She was now princess of Irk and so were her cousins Liz and Fiz. So why was she so sad? She had gotten everything she had ever wanted, but it's not enough if you don't have both parents to spend it with. Viz had tried to get over her mother leaving, but she couldn't get it out of her head. When she thought she had forgotten all about it, it came back to her mind.
"Hey Viz?" someone whispered. "Come over here!"
Viz obeyed because she saw a flash of purple light through the darkness that hypnotized her.
"Who are you?" asked Viz when she saw the face of a girl her own age.
"My name is Tak." Said the girl. "I have no friends and then I saw you walking by, and I recognized you as the princess. What are you doing out so late?"
"I run away from home all the time, Even though I always go back."
"But what is there to run away from? You live in a palace for crying out loud!"
"I don't think you would understand."
"No, please tell me."
"Okay."
Viz told Tak the whole story of how her mother left and she never saw her again.
"Hmm, you must have loved her a lot." Said Tak.
"I did! But she had to always argue with my father." Said Viz.
"Well, I can help you forget. It looks like all you need is a friend. I'll be your friend."
"Sure. The only other friends I've had are my cousins, Liz and Fiz."
Viz and Tak walked around the city streets for a few more hours and got to know each other pretty well.
"You're a cool person, Viz." Said Tak. "You're the best friend I ever had."
"Thanks." Said Viz. She had already forgotten all about her mother and was going on with life.
"I have an idea. There is a hoverbike that I found once, and I fixed it so it can hover again. I want you to have it so you can keep it forever and never forget me."
"Are you sure you want me to have it?"
"Sure! I never even use it anymore."
"Well, okay!"
After Tak gave Viz the hoverbike, an odd shaped vehicle came. One of the drivers jumped out and grabbed Viz. It was the Tallest's Security Force.
"Bye Viz!" shouted Tak. "Come back again sometime!"
"I will!" Viz shouted back.
When Viz got back to the palace, her Dad and Uncle were waiting with her future husband, Nur.
"Dad!" Shouted Viz. "I was having a great time with my friend in the city, and you have to drag me back just to see Nur?"
"Well, yeah." Said Tallest Red. "I don't see what's wrong with him."
"Why can't Liz or Fiz marry him They actually like him."
"Ahem," said Tallest Purple, "Please don't talk about this in front of the guest."
"Okay, Come out to the hall with me Viz." Said Red. "If you'll excuse us Nur."
"Oh it's fine. As long as Viz comes back, anything is fine." Said Nur with his usual side-smirk. He had dark green eyes that can lure any irken girl, and most girls thought his little side-smirk was cute. But Viz always looks beyond his appearance.
Red dragged her daughter out into the hall and Purple followed.
"Okay Viz, you can't mess this up. He is an important person. His father is very rich, and we need those funds to pay all those snack taxes. If you marry him, you will make us very, very, very happy." Said Red desperately.
"I won't do it!" Shouted Viz. "I'm too young, and he's taller than me!"
"Come on! Everyone likes a tall person."
"Not me. You always said that someday I'd be Tallest."
"You can out-grow him!"
"Actually." started Purple.
"I don't care what you have to say! I don't like him and I won't marry him!" Shouted Viz.
Viz fled from the room and accidentally left her hoverbike. She didn't have anywhere to go so she decided to find Tak. As she was running out the door she heard her dad say, "What is this bike doing here? It could be dangerous! Send it to the incinerator!"
As soon as Viz got out of the palace, she turned on a shield that would make her invisible to everyone. She started to run because the guards were already after her.
Viz ran quickly turned down and alley and watched all the guards run past.
"Just like the cartoons." Murmured Viz.
Just as she was running out the alley to make she the coast was clear, someone walked into her and fell down as her shield faded away. Viz looked at the ground and was surprised to see a male irken . without legs?
"I'm sorry." He muttered.
"It's okay. Hey, why don't you have legs?" Viz asked.
The boy rolled his eyes as if it wasn't the first time someone asked. "When I was born, the machine malfunctioned and I came out the wrong way."
"Oh, I'm sorry."
"Don't worry about it. I can hover."
"You can! Can you show me?" Viz asked. "By the way, what's your name?"
"Nix." He said. "Now if you'll help me up from where you knocked into me, I can show you how I hover."
Viz helped up Nix and he instantly started to fly! He picked her up and carried her through the sky. (Wow, that rhymes. I didn't even notice that!) He carried her up to a tall building and they both sat (or hovered) on the ledge. Viz didn't worry because if she fell, Nix would catch her.
So they just sat (Ok! Hover! Stop bugging me already!) there for a while and stared at the stars and talked.
"I'm having a birthday party next week, would you like to come?" Asked Viz. "There will be dancing, speeches, and . tacos."
"Mmmm, sure! I love tacos!" said Nix.
"The only problem is that Nur is going and I hate him!"
"Oh yeah, I heard about him. He's that guy that gets all the girls."
"Yeah, but he's only interested in me."
"You're lucky. You can make a million girls jealous of you if you marry him."
"But I don't want to marry him! Now that I know you and you are the nicest guy I've met. He uses a lot of stupid pick-up lines that all the other girls fall for. I see right through him."
"Do you think you really want to marry me? I can't even walk."
"The way I see it, if you can fly, then you can do anything."
"I have a nice brother that likes you. If I marry you, he wouldn't speak to me! Do you think we can forget about marriage for now? We're too young. You should at least meet my brother, he's going to you're party cause he's training to be an invader."
"Well, I'll think about that. I'll have to meet you're brother first."
Nix flew Viz home and right before she went inside the palace, she gave him a kiss on the cheek and left him blushing.
"Bye, see you at your party." He said.
"Bye." Said Viz.
