Ch 8
Rocket then had another flashback where Lylla came up with the idea for them to have new names if they were going to the new world.
"I would like my name to be...Lylla." she said.
"That's a pretty name, Lylla." Rocket replied.
"Thank you." Lylla said.
"I think my name shall be Teefs." Teefs added, joining in. "Because although we all do have them, mine are definitely the most prominent."
Everyone laughed at that. His teeth were way bigger than any of theirs.
"Me be called Floor...because me is lying on floor." Floor said.
"You're lying on a floor, so your name is Floor?" Lylla chuckled in amusement.
"Yes." Floor replied.
It was the first time they all had a thing to call themselves instead of just numbers. Now they felt like they were new people, not just brainwashed members of the new society.
"What about you, friend?" Lylla asked.
89P13 thought about the rocket he had seen soaring into the sky. If the High Evolutionary and his people could make that, he could also make one for his friends with his brain power.
Then they could all see the galaxy together and all the stars and planets in it.
"Someday, I'm gonna make great machines that fly." Rocket said.
"And me and my friends are gonna go flying together. Into the forever and beautiful sky. ylla, and Teefs, and Floor... And me. Rocket."
"It's good to have friends." Lylla said with a smile.
One day get out of this place and see all the wonderful things in the galaxy.
They would always be together.
