Icey's Tale

-The Prison Cell.-

I was lead into the prison room, still shaken by my sword being taken away. I just want my sword back..but they had to take it away.
" You'll be staying in here for awhile alright? "  he ordered, looking slightly sympathetic. I gave him a small nod. I looked at where I would be spending the next couple days.

It was a cell, but what was interesting about it was that it wasn't caged up by metal bars, but instead electrical currants. I have seen cages like this before..but they are quite rare. They are mainly built for more the more dangerous type of prisoners. Did they think I'm dangerous? I hope not..that would certainly lower my chances. Inside the cell, although it wasn't the most comfortable, it still had the necessities: a bed, toilet, things like that. One nice thing about it was that there was a rug next to the bed, which is definitely considerate of them!

Bonnie walked over toward a keypad, which was on the wall next to the cell. He opened the pad, and after the press of a couple buttons, the  currants vanished.
" Go into the cell. " he demanded. I slowly stepped toward the room, and walked inside it. I heard the zap of the currants reappearance, and I turned back around, staring at the blue rabbit man.
" Give me a minute. "
He walked out of the room, the metal door slamming behind him. I sat there quietly..
..now more waiting. At least when I was in my ship I had an observatory to stare out of and distract myself with, now I have nothing. What's even worse is that I'm alone again. I slowly backed up, and sat on my bed. It did not feel the nicest to say the least. I sat there for what felt like an eternity..until I heard voices from the other side, then they got loud enough for me to be able to eavesdrop on the conversation. I know it's rude..but I'm curious.

" It's not that hard to chose who's going to watch her! "  Bonnie's voice yelled.
" Well, I just don't want to. "  the voice clearly belonged to the fox girl.
" Fox..come on, you can stay up for hours! We need somebody like you. "  a nervous female stated.
" I still have my limits. "
" Keori we shouldn't be encouraging Fox to stay up.. " a deeper female voice begged.
" I can watch her if ya' want. How bad can it be? She seems harmless enough.. "
" Wish you said that when you first met Bonnie and I. "
" I can watch her. "  an oddly high pitched voice requested, more high pitched than any of the other voices.
" Foxy..you made her cry. "
" That wasn't his fault, she had a weapon. "  the fox girl said.
" Well..still, she might be upset at him. "  the nervous girl said.
" ..Look, since I am captain, I am going to say that Foxete should watch her. "  Bonnie commanded.
" Why me? "
" Like Keori said earlier, you can stay up for a long time. "
" Ugh..fine. "
" Foxete shouldn't be staying up too long..that's why we are taking shifts. "
" I'll be fine, Princess. "  the fox girl soothed.

Suddenly, the doors flushed open, and I saw the fox girl, looking annoyed already. I crawled over to her, as she leaned up against the wall next to my cell. I got as close as I could to the currants in order to have a proper conversation with her..I was deprived of that.
" ..you we're on my ship.. "  I claimed.
She gave me a weird glance, like I had just did something disgusting. I just said hello..is there something wrong with that? Did I bother her? Perhaps it's because I'm a prisoner..?
" Yep. "  she responded.
I then eagerly asked " ..if you are alright with answering, what's your name? " .
" Foxete. "
" Is there a last name to that?.. "  I asked.
Suddenly..Foxete went silent. She looked down, and clenched her fists, but quickly relaxed and regained her cool demeanor.
" ..Vixeon. " she stated bluntly.
Why did she take so long to respond? She seemed so tense when I asked her what her surname was, did I do something wrong? Oh dear..I hope not. I haven't been on the ship more than an hour and I'm already causing issues.
" I-I'm sorry if I disturbed you. "
" What? Why would you think that? "
" Well..you got very tense and upset..and- "
" ..eh. Don't worry about it, I'm doing just fineee! " Foxete reassured.
" Soo..your name is Icey, right? " she asked.
" Correct! Icey Water. "
Foxete let out another laugh, not as loud and bombastic as the last one, but noticeable none-the-less. I understand my name is a little funny, but I never knew it could crack somebody up this badly.
Foxete wiped a tear from her eye, and said " Hahaha! That get's me every time! "
" I have heard it before. " I stated bluntly.
She turned toward me, wheezing.
" Like dang..who named you? "
" My parents?.. "
" Well you had some dumb parents! " she boasted, still laughing.
I let out a small sigh, and waited quietly and patiently for her to relax and calm down. Finally, she stopped. Her expression became colder, similar to the expression she had coming into the prison area.

" ..anyway, later we are going to interview you. " she stated, looking down at me as I kneeled on the ground.
" Interview me on what? " I asked, tilting my head a small bit.
" I dunno..space knowledge? We are probably going to ask you general questions: your species, your age, where you come from, stuff like that. "
My hands clenched at the planet part. I..I didn't want to think of that. Anything but that. That subject is something I don't want to think of..not anymore. I took a small and deep breath, looking back up at Foxete, whom was leaning on the wall.
" ..Can you tell me more about the people on the ship? "
" Why should I? "
" It would nice to get a general look at everybody.. "
" Well, the Captain is Bonnie. I'm surprised you don't know him, or me. Speaking of me, I'm the co-captain and second in command of the ship. Then other crew members include Keeva, Foxy, Keori, Acron, GlubGlub and Illoha.. " she listed. On the last name, Illoha, Foxete blushed a little..just a tiny bit of pink on her cheeks. Strange..very strange indeed. She quickly stopped blushing, and looked back at me.
" Anywho, that's all of the people you should know. "
" I see.. " I responded. They all sounded so lovely! At least I hope they're lovely and caring..I need friends. I can already tell I'm having a great start-off with Foxete, and we are becoming well acquainted with each other.

" Sooo..now what? " she asked, looking bored.
" I am not very sure..but I am having a pleasant time talking to you! " I stated with a smile.
" Thank's I guess. "
" You're very welcome. " I responded.
The two of us sat there quietly, not thinking of much. I believe this could be the start of something great! And I hope that I can learn what is going on with Foxete and Captain Bonnie.
