Chapter 10: AX
Being an alien on a strange ocean liner can be really depressing. Especially if you are alone.
Ax, it's me, Jake. I'm going to stay at Cassie's tonight.
Ah. Would this be another display of human affection?
Ahem, good night, Ax.
It was only about 4:00pm human hours. Humans, I learned, don't retire for the evening at 4:00pm.
I tried to point this out to Prince Jake, but he did not answer.
That's when I decided to pass for human and eat some human food.
I was morphing to human when a younger human came in.
"Maid Serv-AHHHH!"
She caught me morphing to human. She left in a hurry. I believe I may have frightened her.
Minutes later, I was fully human. And a few minutes after that, she returned. With an older human.
"I'm telling you, Mister Lightoller, that guy is a beast An alien mutant thing!" She stated while pointing her human finger at me. This, I have learned, is something humans like to do often when expressing a point.
"Now, I don't see an alien there! Michelle, get back to work! And don't bother me with such foolish tales! Bringing me all the way down to third class. " he trailed off as he saw me looking in his direction. To me the male human said, "I'm very sorry, Mr.."
"My name is Phillip. Phillup. I am from out of state."
Apparently, I must have the wrong thing. He stared at me. "You must be an American," he said.
"No, I am from Canada. I am Canadese." I said, remembering one particular encounter with Cassie's father. The humans think it is extremely important to stick with one story if you are going to lie. So I stuck with that story.
"Have you been drinking?"
Drinking? I have seen humans drink several things. On some of the human TV, they show several humans drink fluids from a bottle. Have I ever done that? At the mall, I had some fluid called Dr. Pepper. The flavor was explosive! I wondered if they had any Dr. Pepper on the ship. I would have to inquire about this later.
"I have been drinking before, yes."
"Then maybe it's best if you stay in your cabin for the night."
"May I ask why?"
"For your own good. Have a good afternoon.
He and the human female left. And I laid down on the bed. Should I defy that human and leave the stateroom? Or should I simply stay and see what I could do?
I decided to leave the safety of the cabin and venture out into the world around me. After all, he was a human, a human from the past, even, and even less primitive than humans in our correct time. Well, not anymore, I suppose, now that the humans have come in contact with other beings in the galaxy they have probably advanced very far in the last three years.
I left the cabin and started walking around. I met several humans who were not able to comprehend what I was saying, and I was not able to comprehend what they were saying. I learned later they speak different languages in different areas of the planet.
I finally ate at what the humans on the ship called dinner time. It was wonderful, as most human food is, but not my favorite.
Soon I had to go to sleep. I remembered Prince Jake was up in another part of the ship, so I didn't wait for him. I fell asleep.
***************** Sorry this chapter is so short, but this chapter isn't very important in the main storyline. It's just I'm going in order with the chapters: Cassie, Rachel, Jake, Ax, Marco, Tobias. I try to keep it in that order so to not confuse myself ;-) K, I wrote the story, now you review the story!
