Chapter 1: An Invitation
Red awoke in his bed, heavily breathing. It was just a dream.
"Holy shit, that dream was crazy!" his vision was slightly warped for a couple of seconds but then faded. It felt like a bad high, but he definitely didn't smoke weed the night before. The redhead fixes his messy hair a bit and decides to get water and a zero sugar soda from the living room. He then completely forgets about the weird dream and goes to listen to electric pop music on his headphones. They blasted in his ear with the decibels of 10 explosions at once as he picked up the soda and started drinking it. "Ah."
"Yo dude, why are you drinking soda so early in the morning?" Blue asked as he sat down on the same couch the shorter man sat on. "It's only 7 o clock."
"Dunno, just…drinkin' soda. Like every day," the redhead had a bit of a unique blasé to his tone.
"Do you drink soda in the morning everyday?" Blue's eye twitched. He then directed his eyes to the soda can, which was empty, being crushed by Red's hand.
A little later that day, Blue and Red sit in their room when a message pops up on Red's phone. Red attentively but quickly reads it.
"Holy shit, we're going to NASA?! That's fucking crazy!" Red felt as if his eyes popped out from his head as he jumped up for joy.
"Wait- what are you talking about?" Blue asked, chuckling, she was confused why his friend was so happy all of a sudden. He moved himself closer to Red to get a better idea.
"I got a text message, and we were invited to fly the newest, most advanced spaceship ever invented! It says that it goes faster than the speed of light, awesome! Oh I swear on fucking kali ma this is gonna be amazing!" the redheaded man squealed as he continuously jumped on the couch until the creeks underneath were audible to one's ear. His tone was very musical. The taller man's eyes widened. It was indeed true.
"This is a great opportunity! A shenanigan I actually want to be involved in-!-" Blue blurted out, then cut himself off when he saw Red coming out of the closet, with a mahogany denim jacket, with shades and his usual baseball cap he wore everyday, with a shirt that had an emoji with shades.
Red floated while going to his closet to get changed. Blue himself decided to also get changed, into a tuxedo.
Blue grimaced. "I thought we were supposed to look professional…" He looked at Red's outfit up and down. "What the fuck is this..?"
"Who said we have to dress up formally?" the redhead giggled.
"Ok…if you say so!" Blue changed into something else, and decided not to wear his glasses for the journey and instead put on contact lenses, and a spacey outfit.
"Finally, you don't look like a nerd!" Red jokingly sighed, slapping his own knee and staring at Blue's eyes. "But that expression sure says…space nerd. Look up the term in the dictionary. Your face is the definition of it." He giggled under his breath, upon seeing Blue with a very focused expression looking for the GPS to the nearest space station they could find. His squinted eyes say it all.
They drove for around 1 and a half hours to their nearest space station, located in California. Anyway, NASA members would be waiting for them.
