The Let Down
Angela looked at the vastly space out stars with watery eyes. He careful fingers were tucked into a tissue paper that was extremely wet. She had been crying for almost eight hours and there was only one reason for her to be doing so. She missed her son and wanted him in her arms.She wanted to hold him in her arms as he was sleeping, eating and crying. She wanted him and Meldar in her arms were they were meant to stay.
"I hope Angela's okay." Libby whispered.
"She's fine." Jimmy stated.
"I think she's going through another mother-son episodes." Cindy said.
"I'm fine." Angela sniffled.
"Told ya." Jimmy mocked.
Angela pushed herself away from the window and collecting herself, she walked over to a control panel. Taking hold of one of the sticks that directed the ship, she drove it into another planet. This planet had a florescient red glow around it and it had five moons. Jimmy, Libby, Carl, Cindy, Sheen, Eustace and baby Eddie took seats at the long shiny table and strapped themselves in. Beautiful Gorgeous and Grandma Taters helped Angela with the controls. Boclar and Nancella controled the handiwork and the weaponry. All of them had a sinister look on their faces.
"Heading into atmospher." Angela announced. "Hold on."
"Sheen, I want to tell you something." Libby said.
"What's that Funky Bab?" Sheen asked.
"I love you." Libby exclaimed.
"I...huh." Sheen exclaimed.
"Jimmy, I..I also want to tell you something." Cindy said.
"What's that?" Jimmy asked.
"I love you." Cindy said. "I've loved you for a very long time."
"Oh Cindy." Jimmy exclaimed.
"Kiss me you nerd." Libby squealed.
"I love you, I love you, I love you!" Cindy repeated.
Angela looked back and smiled. Jimmy and Sheen were both acting as if something wrong was going on. Jimmy was shying away from Cindy and Libby was being held back from kissing Sheen. Carl, Eustace and baby Eddie were looking away with horrible sick looks on their faces. Turning back to the screen Angela slowly manuvered the ship until the wheels hit the dirt.
Once they were on the planets surface, Angela allowed for the gangplank to be lowered. Jimmy and Sheen were the first ones out followed by baby Eddie and Eustace. Libby and Cindy followed quickly and Carl walked slowly out. Beautiful Gorgeous and Grandma Taters slowly peaked out and Nancella, Boclar and Angela walked out without hesitation.
"Welcome to Mexla." Angela said.
"It's beautiful." Libby exclaimed.
"Look at the flowers." Cindy shouted.
"Look at the oceans." Jimmy stated.
The oceans were crystal blue and you could see the fish swiming inside it. The trees were huge and had vast flowers and fruit growing on them. The flowers grew in many bunches and were wildly spaced. There were many white, fluffy clouds about and the sun was shining brightly. There were many animals that looked similar to antelope, frolicking in the meadows. Squirrel type animals climbed the trees and there were small homes about. A huge mansion to the left was the only huge house around. It looked like a paradies come true.
"We need to find Maciolo." Angela said.
"Who?" Cindy asked.
"The ruler of this planet." Angela said.
"Oh, he live in there?" Libby asked
"Yep." Angela said.
"What kind of creatures are those?" Jimmy asked.
"Webians." Angela said. "The biggest antelope on the planet."
"And the squirrels?" Carl asked.
"Climbonians." Angela said.
Angela moved away from the ship and walked into the peaceful landscape of green grasses, flowers and animals. Webians and Climbonians scurried to get out of the way as she and the rest walked on. The looming grey walls on the mansion were coming closer. Before long they saw a huge wooden board that covered the door. A sentry was posted up at the tower.
"Stop, expose yourself." He belched.
"Angela Irene and friends." Angela shouted up.
"Hold on." He belched.
Angela looked to the left and the right. She had every sense intact and they were going haywire right now as everyone was crowding towards her. Baby Eddie and Eustace were holding onto her legs. Jimmy, Sheen and Carl were hugging her left side. Cindy and Libby were hugging her right side and Beautiful Gorgeous was behind her. Grandma Taters, Nancella and Boclar were there too. Before long the wooden door was lowered. The guard stood there.
The guard was a huge beast with horns, fangs and claws. His skin was brownish black and he had tiny yellow eyes shaped in a slitted pattern into his head. Angela walked over and handed him a shiny gem. He looked at it and them nodded. Afterwards he beckoned for them to follow him. Angela followed him inside the mansion. The rest followed doggedly.
The walls were a rich gold and the ceiling was a high one. There were five sets of stairs that were colored in many shades of gold, silver and white. The floor was a checkered blue pattern with purple, pink and red mixed in. Pictures of all kinds were hanging from the walls. A huge picture of a king with a huge golden, blue and red crown on his head was at the end of the hall.
"Your leadership." The guard saluted.
"Stand up." Maciolo said. "What is you want?"
"You have visitors." The guard said.
"Is that so." Maciolo exclaimed. "Send them forward."
Angela walked towards the big throne that held the fiesty and powerful king. Maciolo was a blue coloring with red and yellow crests at the top of his eyes and his fingernails were yellow. His purple eyes were slightly brighter and bigger than the guards. He wore a purple cloak and his shoes matched it. His crown was gold with semi precious stones encarved into it. A large red ruby was on his thumb.
"Your honor." Angela saluted.
"Angela, come forward my friend." Maciolo exclaimed. "How have you been?"
"We need to know if a creature that floats came through here." Angela said.
"Describe him please." Maciolo said.
"Purplish blue hair, blue eyes, floats on a metal suit that is yellow." Angela said.
"He looks somewhat like us." Nancella said.
"Sorry, we have not had anyone like that come by." Maciolo said.
"Might we stay for awhile?" Angela asked.
"All of you?" Maciolo asked.
"Yes sir." Angela said.
"We'll have to give you huge room." Maciolo said.
"That'll be fine." Angela said.
"Good, Balib." Maciolo shouted.
"Yes you honor." Balib said.
"Take them to the hugest room in mansion." Maciolo exclaimed.
"Right away." Balib said.
Balib directed Angela and her friends towards a rear stairway and led them up. In the mean time, Meldar and Vandanna entered the atmospher. The ship almost landed beside Angela's. Before long, Meldar was floating out of the ships entrance. His eyes filling with hate and defiance. Vandanna rolled out and handing Meldar a tool, she watched as Meldar messed with the wires on the ships main engines. Before long, he was finished. Vandanna and he then left with victory in their squinting eyes. Both had the need to do evil on their minds. Slowly they stopped the ship and allowed it to orbit the planet.
What will happen to Angela and her friends? Will Meldar attack them in this unbelievable paradice and will King Goobot come back in to protect Angela? Find out next chapter. Hope you enjoy reading this chapter.
