On Zula…

Astranova was still asleep in Bula's room.

She really enjoyed her life on Zula but there was something bother her.

Her homesickness of missing her home comet.

Comet Teremy.

When she turned on her side, Astranova began to feel around for Bula, who was supposedly to be right beside her.

Astranova began to open her dark blue space eyes.

When she opened her eyes, she saw that Bula wasn't there.

Astranova sat up and rubbed her sleepy eyes.

When her eyes were clear of sleep, she looked around.

Where was Bula…?

…

Bula, Zeeter, Multo, Wizzy, Wigg and Gorga were in the kitchen, eating breakfast.

"What a week…Don't you think so, team?" Bula asked, looking at them.

"Most definitely! It was fun and speaking of fun, I have been working on something for the ship…" Zeeter said, through her breakfast.

Wizzy and Wigg looked at each other.

"Please tell me that it doesn't have to do with something that'll make us dizzy." Wigg said as his antennas were drooping.

Wizzy giggled and rolled her eyes.

"Oh, Wigg…You always complain about everything." She said, flying little circles around him.

"Hey! I do not…" Wigg began to say before Multo looked at him, with a stern look on his face.

Wigg sighed sadly.

"Okay…Okay. You're right." He said, flying beside Wizzy.

Astranova came floating into the kitchen.

"Good morning, everyone." She said as she was floating over to Bula.

Bula got up from where he was sitting and walked over to his girlfriend.

"Good morning, Astra. How did you sleep?" He said as he gave her a hug and a kiss.

Astranova returned the same thing to him.

"Well…I…I slept okay." She said, hesitantly.

Bula saw the concern in her eyes.

"Astra, are you sure? You know that you can tell me anything, right?" He said, embracing her and looking into her eyes.

Astranova nodded her head yes.

"I know, Bula…" She said as she held her hand out to him.

Bula took it and the two began to walk over to the table.

Astranova sat down beside Bula.

Zeeter cleared her throats, trying to get everyone's attention.

Bula, Astranova, Multo, Wizzy, Wigg and Gorga looked at her.

"Aren't you all a bit curious as to what I did to the ship?" Zeeter said, looking at them.

Bula sighed.

"Alright, Zeeter. You got our attention. What did you do to the ship?" He asked, gripping onto Astranova's hand for reassurance since her indigo blue hand was shaking in Bula's hand.

Zeeter smiled, mischievously.

"I'm glad you asked that, Bula. Since we have Astranova on our team, we need to match up with her speed so…Do you want to know what I got?" She asked, in an explanation.

Just then, they began to hear a loud growl.

It was Astranova's stomach.

Astranova slouched down in embarrassment.

Bula could feel the weight drop on his hand.

He looked down and saw Astranova, hesitating and shaking.

"Astra, it's okay. It's just your body's natural way of telling you that you're hungry." Bula said, looking at her.

Astranova nodded her head yes, in agreement.

"I know, Bula. Could you help me with figuring out with what's for breakfast?" She said, sitting back up in the chair.

Bula smiled at her.

"Sure, Astra. I would do anything for you." He said, getting up and walking over to the refrigerator.

As Bula was over there, Zeeter looked at Astranova.

"So, Astranova…I upgraded the ship so that we can keep up with you. The new turbo drive should do the trick." She said, looking at the comet alien.

Astranova was surprised but yet shocked.

Bula looked back at Zeeter.

"It's a good thing that you want to upgrade the ship but…" He began to say.

Zeeter sighed.

"There's a catch, isn't there?" She said, looking at him.

Bula nodded his head yes.

"Don't do it as a thing to torture Astra. She's been through a lot." He said, coming back over to Astranova with a bowl of grapes and some orange juice.

Zeeter sighed.

"Alright. Alright. Fine!" She said, giving in.

Bula came over to Astranova and sat down beside her.

"Here you go, Astra. Some grapes and orange juice. It'll help you with getting your energy back up." He said, placing the grapes and the glass of orange juice down in front of her.

Astranova looked at Bula and gave him a kiss on the cheek.

Bula blushed.

Astranova then looked at the grapes that were in front of her.

Multo saw the questioning look on her face.

"Astra, what's wrong?" He asked, concerned as Astranova was holding the grape up with her fingers.

Astranova looked at him and Bula.

"Are these seedless grapes?" She asked, really worried.

Bula then looked at the group.

"Alright. Who did the grocery shopping last time?" He asked, with suspicion.

Zeeter had a nervous look on her face.

Wizzy and Wigg then knew who it was.

"It was Zeeter!" Wizzy said as the two flew over to her.

Zeeter gulped.

"Um…Uh…Yeah. I was the one who did the grocery shopping last time." She said, coming clean.

Bula nodded.

"Uh huh. So…What kind of grapes did you get? Please tell me you didn't get the grapes that have seeds in them!" He said, now really concerned.

Multo chuckled.

"Bula, calm down. You're overreacting!" He said, reassuringly.

Bula looked at Multo, sternly.

"How would you know?! I remember that sometimes a seed as big as a watermelon or a grape can get stuck inside the body…" He said, trying to calm down but he was really worried about Astranova.

Zeeter sighed.

"Okay, Bula. They're Zulean seedless grapes." She said, telling him about the grapes.

Bula sighed in relief.

"So…No seeds?" He asked, looking at her.

Zeeter nodded her head yes, as did Multo.

"Yes, Bula. On the planet Earth, the reason why the humans call them seedless grapes is because there are no seeds in the grapes after the fact that the farmers use them to grow new grape vines." Multo said, in an explanation.

Bula smiled.

"Well…I'm glad that my Astra is going to be okay." He said as Astranova was beginning to eat her breakfast.

Meanwhile…

A purple ship was outside of Zula's atmosphere.

In the driver's seat sat a villain with a scarry smile.

He was wearing his purple suit that had the letter 'T' on it.

His hair was a talker going by the name of Traxie.

This villain had long brown fingernails and brown-red bags under and around his eyes.

His name was Dark Truder.

"Ahh…Isn't this amazing and relaxing, Traxie?" Truder asked as he was driving.

Traxie sighed.

"Well…Yes, Trudie. Isn't this why we came for? To escape the corruption that has been happening on Earth?" The talking hairpiece said, looking down at Truder's eyes.

Truder nodded.

"Yes! But now, our Zula friends are eating breakfast and things will begin to corrupt and crumble soon enough. Computer?!" He said, now looking at his auto pilot system.

His auto pilot system made a static sound and then began to turn on.

"Yes, Lord of Evil?" Said the automated female voice.

Truder had an evil grin on his face.

"Set a course for Zula headquarters!" He ordered.

It took about a couple of seconds for the automated female voice to recognize the command.

"Are you sure, Lord of Evil?" Automated female voice asked, just to make sure.

Dark Truder and Traxie sighed.

"Why do I have a feeling that this isn't going to end well…?" Traxie said to herself as Truder was now beginning to navigate the ship into Zula's atmosphere.

Just after Truder left, Teremy was hiding behind a huge space rock when he saw Truder heading into Zula.

Teremy gasped.

Oh no! Astranova and them are in danger! I have to warn them! He said to himself as he began to come out of hiding.

(So…Zeeter came up with a new upgrade for the ship but Bula thinks that she's doing it just so that she can harass Astranova and rub it all in her face. Meanwhile…Truder is coming up with a new scheme to ruin The Zula Patrol and Astranova since Earth is already breaking apart at the seams. Stay tuned for chapter three!)
