"What? Are you serious this time?" Josh said, having waited to hear this. "Yep, I did promise I'd tell you eventually. So gather your story time goodies, cause it's time to reveal the secret of my first time flying." Sarah said. Jim and Josh grabbed a bowl and sat down across from her.

"Okay, it was about…2 years ago I think. My father was a captain and he had brought back a birthday present for me; a solar surfer. It was smaller than the one we have here, but it was just as fast, and like I am now I was just as off balanced." She started.

"I was extremely excited to fly for the first time! All of my friends already knew how to fly and had longboats and everything. I was behind because my mother didn't know the first thing about flying but she taught me everything she knew about maps and space, and my father was always off somewhere on his ship. Anyway, when he finally came back he taught me as much as possible about flying before he had to leave again."

"After he left, I started teaching myself to fly by watching some of my friends. I also flew in circles around my house, but only a couple feet of the ground." Sarah said. "Hmm, sounds a lot like your first day of flying class." Josh said jokingly. "Very funny. After practicing for about 7 months, I decided to go to the highways and try flying for real. I was having a great time."

"I was really just enjoying the breeze and I wasn't paying attention to the traffic around me. I got hurt kind of like how I ended up tonight only much…much worse. I was thrown off my solar surfer when another vehicle was heading for me. The solar surfer was destroyed on impact, and I was hit as well. I was falling quite a distance before and emergency ambulance was able to catch me." The two boys set down their bowls and listened attentively. "So what happened?" Jim asked.

"Well, the next thing I knew, my father was standing next to my hospital bed. I had suffered a serious wound to the head had been bleeding profusely. I was lucky I even survived that day. And that, my friends, is the story of my first flying lesson. I know it's not much but there it is." Sarah said finishing her story. The boys were silent for only a few seconds before Jim said "I guess history repeated itself tonight, huh?"

The three of them all laughed at this remark until the humor died off. They all looked up at this one particularly bright star. The fact that it was night time made them realize how late it was. Each of them entered their tents and went to sleep…except for Jim. He had remembered something that Delbert had said once. Hadn't he once said that a star shines it's brightest when it's about to die.

The next morning, the three of them came out of their tents and noticed that the sky seemed a bit darker today. They didn't see it as anything bad at the time so they continued with their day. Sarah was still sore from her crash, so she said she'd work on fixing the engine on the solar surfer. Jim and Joshua went to search for food and water. They were on the other side of their small planet and had their arms full of wild plants.

"Do you think we have enough?" Jim asked. "Yeah, I-!" Suddenly, an ear splitting explosion came from no where. The planet was shaking and the two of them dropped what they were doing. Sarah was terrified and was calling for her two friends. Sarah, not being able to keep her balance on the shaking ground she was standing on, fell to her knees. She looked up and saw something horrifying, the star that they had all admired the night before had died and was forming a black hole.

"Sarah!" Jim called as they entered the clearing. "Jim! Joshua!" Sarah said in a trembling voice. She got up from the ground and ran to her friends. She clutched Jim's shirt in fear and hid her face in his chest. "Jim, look!" Josh said, pointing up to the black hole that was forming. Jim had seen this before on the . Legacy and he knew if they wanted to get out of there alive they'd have to leave now.

"Get your things in the longboat now!" Jim said. Sarah and Joshua did as Jim said, and put everything in the boat. The black hole was getting bigger and Jim could tell that they were getting pulled in. "Come on get in!" Jim said. Josh jumped in over the side of the longboat and Jim lifted Sarah in. Jim hit the engine's starter, but the engine didn't take off immediately like he thought it would.

"Come on! Go!" Jim said, yelling at the engine. As Sarah was sitting there, she recalled something she had left in the tents that they were leaving behind… the locket. Jim was still fighting with the engine when he hard something hit the ground. "Sarah, come back!" Josh called. "Sarah!"

Sarah ran into the tent and dug through the pile of things she was leaving behind. Finally, she found the small gold locket and ran back towards the longboat. "Sarah, come on!" Jim called. The engine was ready and just as it took of Sarah leaped for her life and grabbed the edge. For a moment, they all though they were okay, but due tot he fact that Sarah's hands were still healing she couldn't hold on. After the longboat was far off the ground Sarah lost her grip. Jim, in an act of desperation reached out to grab her hand, but… "SARAH!" Her hand slipped right through his fingers.

Sarah hit the ground of the planet they were leaving and looked up at Jim with tears in her eyes. Jim was staring back at her when Josh pulled his shirt forcing him to sit down in the boat. Josh yelled "Jim, don't!" Jim realized then that he was making his way to jump off the boat and go back for Sarah.

They both looked back, and could see Sarah getting on the solar surfer. "Did she fix it!" Josh asked. "I don't know!" Jim said. Sarah was stepping on the start-up for the solar surfer, and though it took her a couple times, the engine started and she was flying towards them. "She's going to make it!" Jim said with new hope. She was getting closer and they could see the hopeful smile on her face.

It seemed as though she would make it, but we all know she had no skills in machinerary and the engine didn't work long enough to save her. The engine gave off a small explosion and Sarah screamed as she fell into the black hole. "NOOO!" Jim yelled. Tears were pouring from his eyes, and Josh had turned away not wanting to watch Sarah disappear.

She was clinging to the solar surfer and that was the last they saw of her.
