chapter 22- well not much to say but ENJOY!

Tara was scared. Actually, she was more than that, she was terrified. Tara was anxious about the fact that she would be living on Earth for who knew how long. She had nothing against Earth, but she had lived on her home planet for her whole life, and she had never left. She was also worried that she would never get to see her friends and family again. Many thoughts ran through her head- Will they forget me? What if I can't ever go back home? What if Earth stinks , and I still have to live there anyway. Tara was also weary of the fact that Cindy didn't want her there. She would be staying with Cindy's family, so Tara knew that she should try to get along with her, but no matter how hard she tried, every bad thing that April had told her about Cindy kept coming to the surface.

Libby gave Tara a sidelong look and asked if she was alright. Tara insisted that she was fine, but Libby knew that she was lying. Libby was also worried. She had revealed some of Cindy's most personal thoughts to a stranger. Of course, Cindy hadn't made her promise not to tell anyone what she had told Tara, so technically it wasn't gossip, and Libby hadn't done anything wrong. Still, Libby couldn't help but feel that she had betrayed her best friend, even though she had only revealed the things that she had to protect Cindy. Libby sighed and wondered when she should tell Cindy.

Cindy stared out the window, looking at the vastness of the space around her. She had never noticed it before but, she was kind of scared at the though of how big space actually was. Cindy let her thoughts roam to what had happened to her in the last 24 hours. It was alot, she knew, and it scared her even more than the thought of never ending space. She and Jimmy had finally talked. They had worked everything out. In an air vent. Cindy didn't care where they had talked, she was just glad that they had finally talked about their relationship.

Jimmy had nothing more on his mind than exactly what Cindy did. He was glad that he had set the AstroCar on auto pilot so that he would have time to think.

Finally, they were landing. Jimmy took the car off of auto pilot so that he could land, and then they did.

"So, what are we going to do first when we get out?" asked Tara.

"Well, I'll have to introduce you to my parents, of course, because they did offer to take you into their home, but anyway, then I guess we can go to the Candy Bar, and I'll introduce you to everyone else." said Cindy.

"Great..." said Tara.

One by one, they left the car, and stepped out into the bright sunlight.

"Wow!" said Tara, as she got out. She hadn't known that Earth would look so beautiful.

"Here it is, our planet." said Jimmy.

"Wow, it's great!" said Tara.

"So, I guess we can go to my house now." said Cindy.

"Let's go." said Tara.

"I'll talk to you guys later. I have to contact the Yolkians and tell them that the war is over." said Jimmy.

there it was. I wanted to give a little bit of the story from everyone's point of view. I know that it's going kind of slow, and there isn't much action, but that is going to be reserved for the last book in the series. I already have an idea for what it's about and I should be starting it soon. so please review
