Chapter 18: illusions
Mint was sitting in the bed. "oh" she thought "I am so fortunaste that otachi saved me from the moon crab people." She blushed and hugged herself. Mickey was sleeping on the bed. Mint had had a crush on otachi but now she had thought that his feelings had gotten in deeper for him.
"I think I am in love… with Otachi" mint she said to micky but micky was asleep so he didnt reply
Mint sighed and wondered about what was happening on earth. "maybe I should call ryou" so she got up and grabbed the phone and dialed but "hello" said lettuce when she picked the phone up
"hi lettuce" said mint "im mint"
"oh hi mint" said lettuce "is everything ok?"
"everything is fine lettuce" mint said
"how is space mint?" lettuce asked
"well" mint said she stopped and paused to think a bit about what just happooned. "should she tell lettuce About all the things happen" she decided not to because it would make lettuce worried. she paused. "we had some tough stuff lettuce but things worked out in the end lettuce can I tell you something?"
"yes what is it mint?" lettuce said
"I think I" she paused. "I I have feelings and its important. I domnt think otachi has the same ones I think he still likes ichigoo. Do you think he still likes ichigo lettuce even though she is evil now?"
Lettuce paused. She knew mint h ad a crush on otachi but ettuce also had a crush on otachi so it was luike spesking to her rival in love. But her heart sofented and she understood. "no mint" lettuce said "I think otachi may not like ichigo anymore. He has been through a lot"
"oh ok" said mint. "thanks lettuce for listening. I will talk to you later"
"ok mint. Call me later. Bye" and lettuce hung up the phone
Mint was still unsure. She wanted to talk to otachi so she got up but then the intercom rang out. Zakuro said through the intercom "guys were going through a space hole"
"oh no" said mint. She gasped to the control room where zakuro and otachi and coco and micky were trying to get the ship under control. Coco had taught micky how to use the controls. Micky was a good pilot but it seemed he got them in a jam they could not get out of.
They warped through the space hole into the black. Hole. Otachi cursed and grit teeth. "girls are you okay?"
Zakuro frowned. "great now we are way off course" the light flickered and went off and now we have no power" said mint and zakuro
Otachi said "Ill go check out the controls down below"
Mint said "ok"
Otachi went down to the controls where the steam and billow. It reminded otachi of when he was younger and pretended he was on a pirate ship but this was much more technical. Sio then he saw smoke coming out of the generator "oh no" and there was a dark shadowy figure.
It morphed and he saw sir pouncealot his cat!
