Untitled Part 3

Cassini and Rosetta flew together, looking down at the sea below them. "Aren't you excited for Philae's landing?" Cassini asked. Rosetta looked over at him. "Of course I am!" she exclaimed. "It's one of the things my entire mission has been leading up to!" Cassini sighed. Rosetta knew he was thinking about Huygens. He was the exact same thing for Cassini. They knew that he probably wouldn't see him again until his mission ended. Rosetta felt bad for him in a way, having to carry out his mission without his closest companion. "Well, I hope it all goes smoothly." Cassini said as he flew over to Rosetta and held her hand. Rosetta got all melt-y and warm inside. How? she thought. Despite constantly being reminded of how his best friend's mission is over, he's still hoping for Philae's success. Rosetta's heart swelled. This was again another reason that Cassini was the one for her. Cassini flew upward into the clouds, making Rosetta chase after him. They twisted and turned, making a game by trying to avoid touching the clouds. Finally, they rose above the clouds, surrounded by stars. Rosetta flew toward Cassini, pulling him into a hug. She could hear Cassini's heartbeat, a steady thump-thump. Everything else from Rosetta's life exited her mind in that moment. She could just stay here, surrounded by stars, with her newfound solidified love.
