Brittany's POV

How is this thing even real? This is almost too good to be true! Were my thoughts on the giant Christmas colored fruit we recovered from that goliath slug.

"It's huge, super juicy, and filled with tons of seeds to take home and cultivate! What an incredible find!"

"You said it Brittany!" Alph agreed, "I can't wait until everyone sees this one!"

"I know right! Say I was thinking about how great that environment was. I wonder if I could like, build a home here!" That way I could be surrounded by out-of-this-world delicious fruit 24/7!"

Captain Charlie replies, "That sounds like a great idea Britt! Say, if you're thinking about getting a house here, perhaps you and I could-"

"Did I mention that this fruit is super delicious?" Alph interrupted, "I can't wait to find more!"

"We'll find a lot!" I assured him, "Then we'll bring it all back home!"

"Then again, we have to find the cosmic-drive key first. Since that signal wasn't Olimar I have a feeling we'll be tracking down another signal very soon."

That reminded me, "Speaking of signal, did you get that machine analyzed?"

"Yes, it's a communication device once used on this planet. Its signal strength is very powerful, and contains technology unknown to Koppai."

I nodded, "Oh, I see, so…"

"So if I can incorporate some of this device's technology into the Drake's communication system, I may be able to boost our signal strength even more!"

"Does that mean you'll be up all night again?" I nonchalantly asked.

"Yup! It sure does!"

"Well, I'll leave you to that then! I'm going to bed. I know who's NOT going to pilot the Drake tomorrow."

He chuckled lightly as I hurried into my room and activated the lock. Why the rush? Because the Captain was standing there looking like he wanted to finish what he was going to say. And I wasn't going to have any of it.

Alphie…

Charlie's POV

We managed to retrieve the communications device that the enourmous creature swallowed. Alph is working hard on incorporating parts of it into the Drake's communications system. Well, it seems as if the greedy creatures on this planet will swallow just about anything... including us, if we're not careful.

Now I wonder how I can get Brittany to notice me...

Author's note: Yeah I'm feeling better today. :) So I decided to put this little short chapter in. SPEAKING of banquets, I hope you all have a happy and wonderful Thanksgiving! :D Most likely I will not be uploading for the rest of this week because I have to get ready for the holidays and finals (bleh) and stuff like that.

In the meantime, Stay Flying!
