"That was refreshing." Su chucked her empty bottle of water aside and stretched. The plastic landed in the middle of the road, and several cars drove over it before I had the chance to pick it up. I couldn't believe she just littered like that.

We stopped at a gas station in a more populated area, and on the way here there was a lot of confusion. Aiden didn't know why we came back with Su and had so many questions. She touched his hand to watch all his memories and it freaked him out, so he stopped talking.

I'll admit, having Su here was very odd. She had a very different approach and outlook on life. Although she looked like a child, she stated very strong adult opinions and facts.

It was scary.

James groaned and ran his hands through his hair, messing it up so his strands would stick up in different directions. He was very frustrated. I wasn't sure it if was because of Su, or because he was still processing that I was right.

I proved to him that it wasn't a hallucination. I'd be lying if I said that I wasn't enjoying seeing him act this way.

"Can you hurry up? I have somewhere to be." James tapped Su on her shoulder. She was kicking a few of the stones in the parking lot curiously.

"Is he always like this?" Su pointed at James with annoyance and glanced at me.

"Not always. Just most of the time." I shrugged in response, earning a glare from James.

"I thought you all wanted an explanation as to why the Criebeasts are on your planet, I guess not."

"No, we still want you to explain." James groaned again.

"Then don't rush me." Su snapped. "Everyone gather around." She motioned us with her hands. All 3 of us stepped forward, but James was still slightly behind me, still cautious of getting too close to her.

Su waved her right hand into the air, and a bright light blinded me, and the others. Suddenly, we weren't at the gas station anymore. It looked like we were located on a ship in space.

"What the f—" James jumped back at the sudden change of environment.

"Don't be surprised. Calm your nerves." Su commanded him.

A couple of other people, who looked like Su but much older and taller surrounded us. One of them walked towards me, and I freaked out. I stopped but the person continued to walk forward, eventually going through my body.

"They can't see or hear you." Su patted my arm as if reassuring me.

I gasped as I felt some weird tingling in my torso. Su stepped forward and pointed outside of the window of the ship.

"That planet is my home, and these are my people." She gestures towards the crowd. "It's called Pa'upaungkorp, a world of advanced technology and beings." She waved her arm again and suddenly we were in a garden surrounded by cute animals.

One of them looked like a rabbit, but it had wings and was able to fly.

"I am a Royal of this world. I rule the northern section, while my sister controls the southern region." Su smiled. "This is my home."

"Interesting.." James spat sarcastically. "Can you tell us about those aliens attacking our planet?"

"The Criebeasts were sent to your home to hunt me down. They are another kind on our planet that we share an alliance with. My sister, Lady Lu'an Anthrokorp commanded them to go to earth."

"Why were they hunting you down?" Aiden frowned at her.

"Ugh, it's a boring story. I was banished, then my banishment was uplifted. I was commanded to go home and back to my Royal position, but I came to earth instead."
