Chapter 14
A Week LaterEveryone, even the Evans', where at the crash site, waiting for the first of the two ships to arrive. It was a quarter to eleven and Liz was nervous and starting to feel tired. She didn't know what this ship was going to look like. She smiled and thought about the fake alien ship that was above the Crashdown and wondered if it was going to look like that. Max was worried about Liz, he didn't know if this was a good idea to take her when she was pregnant. He was also worried about Liz, if she went into labor while they were in space. He didn't know everything that had to be done. They all had agreed that Isabel would deliver the baby when the time comes. And with Isabel going to be on the second ship, she won't be there if she does go in to labor. He hoped that Liz doesn't go into labor while they're in space. And that their daughter will fine on Antar.
Just then the wind started blowing, at first nobody really thought much of it until it started blowing faster. Everyone was looking around and Max went over to were Liz was sitting on a boulder. Liz stood up behind Max. The there was a soft mum of an engine. Everyone looked up and saw a triangular shaped spaceship slowly coming down just next to them. When it was a few feet from the ground it stop and just inside each corner a foot like object came down then it continued landing until the feet touched the desert surface. Once it was done landing everyone looked at each other and then started walking towards the spacecraft. There was a bean of light then it was gone and a man stood there. Everyone stopped as soon as they saw the beam. The man took a few steps forward toward Max and Liz then bowed, and then stood back up and said, "It is great to see you again, my King. My Name is Troy.
"Ah…Hi…I'm Max and this is my wife Liz."
"Hi."
"My Queen," said while bowing again.
Isabel was trying to keep from laughing at his guy, who was bowing and treating her controlling brother this way. Max was a little confused, this alien' English was very good. And he asked, "Troy, You speak English very well, how come?"
"Thank you. It is because I have a daughter here on Earth and I talk to her quite often. That is why your mother chose me to come and bring you to Antar."
"Ah, will the second ship have someone that speaks English as well as you do
on it? – Michael
"Yes, I trained him myself. I'm sorry, but we really must be going."
"Okay." – Max
Max and Liz said a final goodbye to the Evans'. And a goodbye to their friends, it was going to week before they would see each other again. Troy then lead Max and Liz to the beam of light that had appeared and said, "Just step into the beam."
Max and Liz held hands has they stepped into the beam and within a few seconds they found themselves aboard the ship. Troy followed after Max and Liz and was standing behind them in a few seconds. There were four rows of sitting, behind the pilot.
"Please have a seat. We will meet up with the Royal Yacht, which is currently behind Earth's moon, in about an hour." – Troy
Max made sure that Liz was seated and comfortable, first. Then he took a sit next to her. After everyone was secure Troy told the pilot that they were ready. The pilot lifted the spacecraft off of the ground a little for the feet to be brought back in and then as soon as the feet were inside the spacecraft just took off.
"What did you mean by meeting up with the Royal Yacht?" – Max
"This ship that we are currently in now is just a transport ship. The royal Yacht is what is going to take us to Antar."
"Why is it called the Royal Yacht?" – Liz
"That's because it is your ship. It is the spacecraft used by the Royal family."
"So this ship that we're going to is ours," Max said while pointing between him and Liz.
"Yes."
On EarthAfter the spacecraft left Earth.
"I'm doing to miss all of you." – Diane
"Mom, don't worry. I'll make sure that Max and Michael stay out of trouble." – Isabel
"Thanks sweetie. I'm just worried about all of you getting there safely."
"I know what you mean Max and I have never been apart like this before."
Just a few feet away Michael and Maria were sitting next to each, on a boulder that Liz was sitting on before the first ship came.
"Your worried about Max, aren't you?" – Maria
"I can't believe that he agreed to this separate ships thing." – Michael
"It wasn't ready Max's idea and he had no choice in the matter."
"I still think that we should be on the same ship and not be separated like this. I mean what if something happens and we need Max and/or Liz. Or they need us."
Maria took a deep breath and said, "I know I miss them, too."
On The Transport ShipThe pilot was talking to Troy. Afterwards, Troy went over to Max and Liz and told them what the pilot had said.
"We are coming up to the Royal Yacht now."
Max and Liz looked at each other, and then looked out the window to where Troy was pointing. The Royal Yacht looked like a bigger version of the ship that they were currently in. The pilot piloted the ship to a part of the Royal Yacht where it looked like a triangular piece was missing. After docking, a door appeared on the right side of the ship. Max stood up and helped Liz stand up. They went to the door where Troy was standing. Troy opened the door. It opened to a room where there were a number of people waiting for their arrival. After they stepped inside the door closed behind them and they stopped. Everyone bowed at Max and Liz then stood. A young woman can up to them.
"This is Jenna; she will be your servant here and on Antar." – Troy
"Hi," Max and Liz both said. Max then looked at Liz for a moment and he could feel that she was tired. It had been a long day for both of them.
"I will show you to your room." – Jenna
They followed Jenna through a number of halls. Then they came to a door with the Royal Seal on it. The door opened and Max and Liz were amazed at the size of it. There was a large room, look like some kind of living room, when you first walk in. Jenna walked over to the door on the left. "This is the sleeping room and there is a washroom inside. There is also a washroom on the other side (Pointing to one of the doors on the right side of the room) as well as another sleeping room (Again pointing to the other door). Is there anything thing that I can get for the two for?"
"No. But thank you." – Liz
"Not right now. But thank you." – Max
"Well ok, if you need anything just call me by pressing this button (Showing them the button that was next to the door that lead out to the hallway)."
"Thanks."
"Your welcome, your highness."
Max didn't know if he liked being called "your highness", but it might be something that both Liz and himself are going to have to get use to. After Jenna left, Max went up to Liz and hugged her from behind. Liz leaned back into him. "Liz, you're tired aren't you?"
Liz turn in his arms and said, "Yeah a little."
"Lets go lay down for bit."
Liz just nodded. They went in the bedroom and as soon as Liz was lying down next to Max with her head on his shoulder, she was asleep.
On EarthIsabel, Michael, and Maria were waiting for the second ship to arrive. The Evans' had left to go back to Roswell. And at almost one o'clock the second ship arrives just like the first ship had. A man from the ship came up to all of them. "Hello my name is Marcus. Are you ready to go?"
All three of them just nodded. They were amazed at the forwardness of this guy. They board the spacecraft just like Max and Liz had, just a few hours ago. They all sat down. Michael was wondering about the other ship. "Hey Marcus, how is the other ship?"
"Oh the Royal Yacht, is…"
"Royal what?" All of them said at once.
"The Royal Yacht is the Royal families' ship. It is currently on its way to Antar. It left from the other side of the Earth's Moon about a couple of hours ago. And we are doing the same with the Antarian. Meeting up with the Antarian that is, this is just a transport ship."
"Oh." All of them said together.
About an hour later they met up with the Antarian. It was a little bit smaller and shaped a little different from the Royal Yacht. All three were shown to their rooms as well as different areas of the ship.
