Part 2: Change Rising






The atmosphere of Earth was silent, only Al the occasional ping of satellites resounded as they orbited the planet.
That silence was broken as a neon blue light shot through space and stopped, revealing Anthony's Stormfalcon, his personal crimson and black transport ship.

Anthony: Alright...How was the flight?

Everyone in the back was still a little queasy from the warp, but this time, no one vomited.

Douglas: Oh...my head is spinning...

Aliya: At least none of us threw up from that. The way back...felt smoother.

Anthony: It's crazy how one engine swap can change how the entire ride feels.

Mario: Definitely!

Anthony: ...Say...What are your guys' plans once we land in Rio?

Douglas: Oh...I don't know. Maybe explore around a bit?

Aliya: Yeah. That would probably be the best thing to do since we can't really check in for another day.

Anthony: How about...you two?

Meggy: What's with the attitude?

Anthony: You know.

Meggy: Anthony. Stop it.

Douglas: Did we miss something?

Anthony: You sure did.

Mario: Not cool, man.

Anthony: Want me to let you say it?

Meggy: I'm not saying it!

Aliya: Seriously, what am I missing here?

Douglas: What did you two find?

Anthony: Not find...Do.

Aliya turned slowly to Meggy with a both surprised and pissed off look.

Aliya: You...*suspiciously* What, did you do?

Meggy only sat in her seat in shame, not saying a word. Maybe what she did with Mario was a mistake. She crossed her legs and arms to make herself as disinterested as possible.

Aliya: Did you...have, sex with him?

Meggy: ......

Aliya: *angered* Oh my god. I can't believe you!

Meggy just looked away and down, not responding.

Mario: It was me who started it.

Aliya: I don't want to hear it! The last thing Meggy needs is a sex life!

Douglas: That's not true, she needs to explore herself someday.

Aliya: I get it: She loves Mario, but as her sister, I don't want to hear that she had sex! She's still a vir-

Meggy: I AM NOT!! Don't you even remember what happened to me!? And I started it, okay!? I wanted it!! And I enjoyed it!!

Aliy: Woah...Megs, I-I didn't mean to-

Meggy: Cut the crap! I know you're just trying to look out for me, but that doesn't mean you get to watch me like I'm some prisoner!

Aliya: That's not what I'm-

Meggy: I'm done here...

She unstraps herself from her seat and storms up to the front of the ship and takes a seat in the Co-Pilot's seat next to Anthony. She was pissed at him too for basically giving her and Mario's secret away that they planned on keeping, but at least he didn't lecture her on it like her sister did.
