"Captain's log; stardate: the first of June 2016. We've just arrived over an inhabitable world thanks to the awesome as ever navigation of Kaleo, with no huge signs of any civilization. Tony says that it should be safe to go down with just a light mask and ground suit to protect from the higher methane content of the atmosphere, so Toris 'n I will be beaming down there later to get some samples and study the local wildlife and stuff.
"It really sucks I couldn't get Rose or Eddie along, but since everyone was busy, it's just minimal crew. I mean, even Bella would've been helpful with plant stuff, but Ginny said she and Ben can't come anymore after they almost took over that last planet with the lizard folk, the Yalfos or something, can't remember off the top of my head. Which sucks, but not much I can do about it.
"Anyways, I've got a good feeling about this place. Lots of water, plenty of green stuff, it's probably gonna be a nice vacation spot for a few days until we have to get back to Earth. If there's any dangerous wildlife, we'll have stun guns, so we should be able to get away without harming anything permanently, or at all if we're lucky. Maybe I'll even have time to bring back a gift for the States if Tony says it's alright-"
"Mr. America!"
Alfred looked up from his recorder, grinning at his European friend. "Hey, Toris, 'sup?"
The Lithuanian offered a small smile. "Tony says that he's found a transport site for us to beam down at, whenever you're ready."
"Sweet!" The American cheered, turning off his recorder and setting it to the side before standing up from his desk. "I'll be out in just a minute. This is gonna be the best vacation yet!"
"If you say so, sir."

While Toris was far from being a space enthusiast like Alfred or even Ivan, he didn't generally mind being dragged along on the American's many celestial adventures either, which was good since he ended up on them more often than not. Part of it was just a lack of desire to argue against being pulled away from his paperwork for a few days, part of it was the fond memories of his more active, intense childhood, and mostly because no one else wanted to find out what sort of trouble the blond would find himself in that time around.
And really, it wasn't Alfred's fault (usually) - alien worlds were alien for a very good reason, and no matter how careful one was to be inoffensive and friendly, something would get mistranslated or misinterpreted, and then it'd be a scramble to the landing site or an apology, depending on the crisis in question. Once they'd even had to run when the planet's volcanic activity suddenly started acting up, which wasn't exactly something one could blame on human action.
Thankfully, there weren't any people to accidentally offend here this time around, and Tony had made sure the planet was stable and temperate before letting them come down, so Toris allowed himself to get into the rhythm of collecting samples of the various plants around the landing site. He even hummed cheerfully as he worked, glad to be away from work and civilization for a bit without risk of someone barging in and interrupting his relaxation.
"TORIS!" ALfred shrieked as he leapt over a log, almost catching himself on a low-hanging branch as he skidded to a halt, leaving behind trenches in the softer dirt. "We gotta get going now!"
The European Nation paled, not even questioning as he dropped the current flower in his hand and followed on the heels of his younger friend. After the incident where he'd ended up hurling all over the blond's back due to a mix of the jostling from being thrown over a shoulder and his own sensitive stomach, he was thankfully allowed to make the run on his own, which also had the benefit of leaving him too focused on keeping up to wonder what his friend had done this time.
Behind him he could hear snarling, and the breaking of foliage as whatever was after the American started catching up. Fear inspired a new burst of speed for them both, allowing them to skid to the pick-up zone in time for Tony to have the beam ready, more than likely having picked up their elevated heart rates well before now.
Even as the tingling feeling of being drawn up to the spaceship enveloped him, drawing him away from the surface like a feather, he saw several ugly, almost wyrm-like beasts stampede into the clearing, their gazes narrowing in the sunlight even as they lifted their heads in search of where their target went.
As the ship sank down to surround them, he imagined he saw the leader shift its head to stare directly at them the rest following soon after. Then they were out of view, the doorway closing below them just before gravity reasserted itself, dumping both panting pseudo-humans on the ground to regather themselves.
"What were those?" Toris asked after a minute, pushing himself up from his hands and knees while Alfred seemed content to keep lying face-down on the ground.
"No fucking clue," The American groaned. "I saw a cave and decided to investigate a bit - not out of chatting range, but just to see what was there. I saw some weird rocks, turned the flashlight on to get a better look, and realized they were eggs about the same time their ma and her family got real pissed at the light and started after me."
The Lithuanian sighed, wondering how their luck had turned so quickly. "Maybe we should wait before going back down. And maybe try somewhere else."
"Definitely on board with that plan."

AN: Eh, maybe one day this'll be expanded into a proper series, but for now I'm more focused on clearing out my ideas doc and finishing fics. At the least, I want to close down the Rare Pair Files and Ice Creamery first so that I have fewer things to divide my attention.
But yeah, space adventures with Kaleo the pilot, Tony the navigator / science officer, Alfred the 'captain', and whatever other people he can drag along as the unwitting crew. Fun stuff for those who like Star Trek or anything similar.
