A few weeks ago at Metropolis High School

4:00pm After school at the track field

"Gosh Pearl I didn't know you could run so fast." Timmy had just crossed the finish line. He was out of breath from trying to beat Pearl in a race.

Pearl turns around and smiles at Timmy who seemed to be in crushing defeat. " You knew better than to try and challenge me. You can't beat me in my own game" Pearl begins to walk over to the bleachers nearby.

Timmy begins to chuckle. "Your game? I was just warming up" Timmy takes a seat right next to Pearl.

"It seem like I tired you out from your little jog then." Pearl teases Timmy.

Timmy's head was dripping in sweat from the run. "I let you win"

"Uh huh you weren't saying that a minute ago." Pearl begins to stare at the Metropolis floating clouds in the sky. There wasn't a day that went by that Pearl wasn't absorbed by the beauty of it.

Timmy's smile twinkled as he stared at Pearl. "You're not used to seeing this stuff back at your own Planet are you."

"Yeah Planet Earth clouds never looked this beautiful. It's so polluted over there. Although Torren IV is also a junk yard it's not nearly as bad as Earth"

"You never told me how it was like to live on your home planet. How was it like?"

Pearl continues to watch the clouds float gently pass them. "Torren IV is a mess but the Vullards are nice. Me and Mr. Azimuth either play video games or watch movies on our free time-" Pearl explains but was interrupted by Timmy.

"I mean your life on Planet Earth" Timmy wanted to clear up the confusion she got from his question.

Pearl turns her head towards Timmy "Oh um-" She coughs "Honestly it's the worse. You think it's corrupt living in this galaxy then don't want to experience a fraction of what happens on Earth everyday. Sure every Planet has their good qualities, but the bad outweigh the good there"

"Wow Pearl I can tell that you have been through a lot there. I'm glad you found your way here, from what it sounds like it's safer here than there."

Pearl nods her head at Timmy smiling weakly, she turns away from Timmy trying to hide her tears.

Timmy notices the eye droplets foaming in her eyes. "What's wrong Pearl?" He begins to pat her back.

Pearl couldn't help but to burst out crying, all the things she's dealt with on Planet Earth and her trying to fit in at this new galaxy was a lot for her.

"Aww come here Pearl." Timmy held his arms out for her to fall into.

Pearl gracefully falls into Timmy's eyes and begins to sob.

Timmy had a sad expression on his face he felt like it was his fault for making her cry. "I'm sorry for making you cry"

Pearl sniffles. "It wasn't your fault." Pearl gets out of Timmy's arms and begins to wipe her tears. "I feel like I don't belong here."

Timmy felt his heart drop down to his stomach. "Of course you belong here. Everyone has a purpose in life so many people will miss you if you were gone"

"No Timmy I didn't mean it like that. I mean I don't feel like I fit in."

Timmy had a breath of relieve but he was still concerned for his friend. "How come you feel like you don't fit in? It seems like you get along well with the popular kids"

"Yeah I get along with a few of them, but I can't write in your galaxy language so it makes it harder for me to read and write. Mr. Azimuth was trying to teach me before he took me to school for the first time here, but for some humans it can take a while to learn a new language. A lot of people stare at me, some give me weird looks. I feel so tiny in size compare to the rest of the species here. Although I have been in this galaxy for about six months I still have so much to learn." Pearl pours her feelings out to Timmy she felt like she released a lot off her chest.

"That's the best thing about life Pearl. Yes you are new here, but you have so much to discover in this galaxy. I bet you didn't even know that another galaxy like this existed." Timmy rubs her back trying to cheer her up.

"I never thought that I would see other life forms than humans but then here I am looking at you." Pearl chuckles.

"Well I hope you like the view." Timmy jokes.

Pearl couldn't help but to snort. She quickly puts her hands over her mouth she couldn't believe that came out of her mouth.

Timmy burst out laughing, his laugh was quite amusing and hysterical. Pearl couldn't help but to laugh. Pearl was laughing so hard that she falls off the bleachers. Timmy gasp by surprise and looks down at her.

Pearl was covered in sand and a few branches. Timmy gets off the bleachers and helps her up. The two were standing face to face close together

"You okay?" Timmy was removing the small branches in her hair.

"Yeah I'm fine." Pearl was dusting the sand off of her. "Thank you." Pearl smiles at Timmy.

Timmy returns the gesture, continuing to remove the branches in her hair.

Pearl stares down at Timmy's lips and begins to softly lick her lips.

The two were interrupted when Timmy's mom blew their horn.

"Oh crap that's my ride" Timmy removes the last branch from Pearl's hair "I'll see you around" Timmy was beginning to jog off until he realizes he forgot something he turns back and jogs back over to Pearl. "I almost forgot" Timmy pulls out his backpack and writes his number on a piece a paper before handing it to here. "If you ever feel lonely or need someone to talk to you know who to call"

"Thanks Timmy, thanks a lot" Pearl said softly.

Timmy runs over to his ship, hoping in the backseat. He waves goodbye at Pearl before driving off. Pearl also waves at Timmy watching the ship drive into the sky. When she saw Mr. Azimuth pulling up she quickly hops in his ship.

"How was school Pearl" The white and red Lombax asked her.

"It was fun. I am looking forward for school tomorrow." Pearl smiles.

"I am glad to here that" Mr. Azimuth drives off back to their home in Torren IV. "What's that in your hand?"

"Oh just a number from a friend" Pearl told, putting the paper in her pocket.

"It's not from a boy is it?" Mr. Azimuth raises an eyebrow

"No it's not" Pearl lies. She knew how Mr. Azimuth could be a bit nosy when it comes to her social life.

"Good. I already made us supper so you can eat once you get home." Mr. Azimuth informs.

"Thank you." Pearl smiles at him. She then looks at the window enjoying the scenery before her.

Later that night Pearl was in her bed staring at the piece of paper with Timmy's number. She began to have butterflies as she types the digits into her phone. She felt her hands begin to sweat and her heart racing. Once Pearl had finished putting his number in her phone. She collapses on her back.

"And done. Why was that so hard to do." Pearl took a breath of relieve.

Pearl couldn't help but to continue to think about Timmy and the time they had spent together the last few days. Pearl begins to wonder if she had a crush on Timmy.
