Becky looked out the window of the spaceship, watching Earth get smaller and smaller in mere seconds. After the first minute of travel, Earth was completely gone from her view (due to the ship having to travel at the speed of light in order to travel through space in less than a million or so years [it's a science thing]).

So Becky just watched the empty vacuum that was space. She watched complete darkness. She could already tell how far away she was from her home. From her family, from the boy she loved. From the place she was raised.

Away from everything she learned, away from the only world she knew how to live in. Away from all things familiar.

And into the abyss. Into the large, black hole, filled with mystery; one that imposed much fear on anyone who dared to cross it.

No worries, right?

All for the best.

Becky walked over to the control room, where Huggy was steering the ship in the right direction.

"Hey, Huggy, how's it going?" Becky asked. Huggy squeaked.

"What, me, scared?" Becky responded. She paused before continuing. "Alright, so maybe a little bit."

Huggy squeaked a response.

"Nothing to be scared of? Nothing? Absolutely nothing?" Becky said. "You don't know how wrong you are! Have you forgotten that this is a place I haven't been to since I left it? A place I know absolutely nothing about? A place that I don't even know will accept me or not? I mean, who knows how they'll react to my return. Maybe they'll shun me for abandoning the planet. Maybe they've been so obsessed with my leaving that they've been awaiting my return so they can keep me there for the rest of my life, even if against my will. I don't know, because I've never learned anything about it, yet I'm going there anyways."

Becky paused.

"And I know, I've been told a million times, it'd be silly to think that anyone could shun or hate me, but the people who tell me that are the people who will never know what it's like to be in my shoes. Those are the people who aren't superheroes, were born on Earth as humans, don't know what it's like to belong to a different planet biologically, but feel like you belong on another planet. No matter what anyone says, I'm going to be freaked out for every minute of this trip." She finished. Huggy was silent.

Becky sat down beside the spaceship controls, hugged her legs to her chest, and buried her head into them. She fell asleep like that, picturing what arrival on Lexicon would be like.

As Becky walked out of the spaceship, she took in all the sights. She looked around at the domed civilization in all its glory. It was amazing, just like the utopia that humans back on Earth always dreamed of, yet never acquired.

There was only one problem.

As Becky looked in front of her, she suddenly noticed a large crowd of people; people who Becky instantly knew were angry.

Becky froze in shock. They all seemed…so like her. More like her than she was ever used to in her whole life. They all had the same superpowers as her, she could tell, because most were hovering above the ground.

But the moment of glory ended very quickly as they began shouting angrily, slinging hateful words at her. They moved in closer and closer, trapping her where she stood frozen in fear. Becky cowered on the ground as the vicious and violent attacks ensued.

Becky awoke with a startle, letting out a short scream. Huggy squeaked a question at her.

"What? Oh, yeah, yeah, I'm okay. Just a bad dream was all…" Becky responded calmly.

Bob squeaked in response.

"What, we are? Already?" She asked. Bob squeaked again.

"Well I just thought it would've taken a bit longer is all." Becky said. She quickly jumped up from her seat on the floor and glanced out the window.

Her heart raced, faster than it ever had before, as she watched the spaceship approach a large red planet with a yellow shield and star on the center.

Home.

As the planet grew closer in closer, in those few everlasting seconds it took to land, Becky saw the domed civilization get closer and closer.

Becky felt the butterflies in her tummy fluttering around in higher numbers than ever before.

The ship touched down on Lexicon, and when the door opened, Becky stood in the doorway and watched. She looked out to see a glorious domed city, sparklingly perfect. It was like Atlantis (or the renditions she'd seen in movies and read about in books) without the water. It was amazing.

A huge smile quickly spread across Becky's cheeks. She stepped off the spaceship and took slow steps to the entrance of the city. As she walked slowly, she took in the sights. Where the spaceship had been parked seemed to be some sort of spaceship yard, some kind of parking lot for spaceships. There were several others surrounding theirs, in all sorts of patterns (but all red and yellow with a shield and star on it).

But the most spectacular part of the sights were the ones she took in as she walked into the domed city and looked around at it.

The buildings were all fairly similar to the ones on Earth, save for some architectural differences. There were people walking the streets everywhere, like a bustling metropolis. Becky looked at the skyline. It was so amazing, so different from Earth. Instead of looking up and seeing vast, blue skies and the occasional white, puffy, cotton candy cloud, there was the stars and the darkness of space. The only things making the city look like daylight were what Becky was guessing were some sort of high-tech lighting system that Earth hadn't even come close to inventing.

Becky suddenly bumped into someone. She looked in front of her to see a woman who by Earth age standards looked to be in her late thirties or early forties.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry, ma'am…" Becky said, her excited smile stuck on her face. "Hm. You look oddly familiar. I've seen you somewhere…"

Becky's statement confused her. Where could she possibly have seen this woman? She hadn't been on Lexicon since she was only 1 year old, and she knew she wouldn't have remembered someone from way back then. But where else could she have seen a Lexiconian?

"Well it doesn't surprise me, after all, there's a statue of me in every spaceship Lexicon makes, and there's one in the Great Hall." The woman said.

Then it clicked. Becky remembered the library of her spaceship, and recalled all the statues in there. This woman, Becky could tell immediately, was the one that she had always known as the one that looked most like her.

"You're…" Becky mumbled. She shook the fuzzies out of her brain. "Can I ask you something odd?"

"I guess." The woman answered.

"This is going to be…really random, but is there any chance that you used to had a daughter that was lost fifteen years ago?" Becky asked.

"Yes, why?" The woman responded. Becky felt her heart skip a beat. This was the moment she had dreamed about. The moment she had pictured in her mind when she sat up at night, gazing at the stars. The moment she had hoped for.

She swallowed her fear before she spoke.

"I'm…that little girl."

Aw, I feel mean cutting the chapter off there. But hey, it makes the best cliffhanger. So you'll all just have to wait until I update this next, which probably won't be till next week. ANNOYING ISNT IT?! Now I know why TV shows do this…

Look at me, rambling again. Review?
