The Airship Book 1: Maroon

Mommy

(Maroon's POV)

I lay alone in my bedroom which was damp and dusty without mommy or daddy. Green had taken Mini-Green away and I didn't know how mommy was. Everybody was ignoring me or giving me guilty looks, and I hadn't seen daddy anywhere. The only person I hadn't asked was White, who I wasn't sure about. I decided to head for Medical to ask him. When I got there, White was absent. I was about to turn around, when I saw a flash of yellow. I turned back to the beds, and I saw mommy lying on one of the beds. "Mommy!" I squealed. I ran over to her and gave her a big hug. She didn't respond. "Mommy?" I asked. "Maroon!" Came a voice from behind me, "What are you doing here?" White was standing behind me carrying a yellow oxygen tank.

(Red's POV)

I sat on the cold tiled floor of the bathroom, tears falling fast down my cheeks inside my spacesuit. I didn't know why I was crying like Maroon when she was born. She had been born in space and I had been worried that something bad would happen to the baby. But nevertheless, the baby had been born healthy and strong. We had named the baby Maroon because Yellow wanted the baby's name to be a mix of red, (me) and pink (Pink). Of course, Pink was honored to have the baby to be named partly after her, but it was mostly because Pink was Yellow's best friend. I remembered how I much I used to hate Yellow before we got (Miraculously) married. Thinking about all this made me cry even harder. Yellow and Maroon. I thought dully before everything got dim.

(Alien's POV)

Ugh. I had been trying to escape from my container multiple times before I gave up. It was useless. The container was sealed shut so that I couldn't escape. I then got an idea. What if all I needed was to administer enough force from the inside of the container to break it open? I sighed and began to expand. I squeezed myself around in the container until... pow! The container exploded sending shards of glass everywhere. I was free! It took me a few moments to realize where I was. I was in a large room with items that humans called knives. I decided to take one just in case. I slid off the counter and out of the "kitchen".
