"Whatever. I need to put on the auto-pilot and then we can...." i thought about what we could possibly do after our shuttle was flying itself.

His flirty grin was getting to me.

He creepily said, "We can.....?" i guess he was thinking i had somehow been brainwashed and forgotten his irritating behaviour that he directed towards me for the past....hmm 10 years?

Yeah, he's just a douche. Just...a...douchebag.

I swfitly replied, "Sleep" hoping he'd get the message: no flirting. But instead he smiled and again and i continued, "Seperately!" and then i went back to the white control panel and checked the temperature, oxygen levels. Yeah, everything was normal. Unfortunately, the screen showed absolutely no sign of the asshole levels e.g. John Kirtis!

After a few moments of silence and me just randomly checking the system's...well the system's everything! I was not gonna die with John still getting frisky with me.....just no.

With the rocket thrusts blaring in the background, John asked me, "Why are you so serious?".

I honestly thought i'd have a cool snappy anwser. But instead i thought about the question because of the way he asked it. He asked it with a serious tone, the first time i had ever heard a serious tone of voice from her thats for sure.

Why was i always so serious and proper? I don't know. So i just replied with whatever came to me, "I'm an assassin, i have to be..." and hoped he would stop talking to me. I was disapoointed immensely.

"That's Techno-crap! Father Daniels isn't serious, infact he told us about his avid adventures with those class women, you remember?".

I couldn't help but smile. Of course i remembered. I loved those crazy stories. But no, i was not speaking Techno-crap! I am an assassin, it has to be why. Has to be? I think even my concious identified the doubt in my thought process. Maybe...ok i know its not at all about me being an assassin.

Its to do with my past.

I knew it deep inside but i wasn't gonna just have a heart to heart with Mr One Minute I'm A Dick Now  I'm All....you know All Different!!!

"Believe it or don't. I do not care" so instead of sleeping, i went and sat at the desk with a virtual tablet screen. It was time for some resaerch.

I picked up one small wireless contact onto my ear and then another on the other ear. Before starting my reserach on Earth, i searched to find the latest Image Music, playing the song Nature, i closed my eyes i was sucked into the image. As the image began to play in my mind, i was watching a lion going in for the kill. The music erupted as the chase began.

My heart yelped when the tiger jumped on the small meerkat. I couldn't finish the song, so i opened my eyes to the blaring white of the Moon shuttle. Leaving in the contacts on my ears, i played a normal version of a song, just so i could focus and research on Earth together.

I started by looking at the area we were going to land at:

Virginia. Funny name, right?

The town had an even funnier name, the town i would be landing at was called:

...

Mystic Falls.

As i searched into SUPERGOOGLE:

Mystic Falls, Virginia.

But before i could look at any links, i hear a ringing bell in the background. My hands swiped the virtual screen as i got up from the relaxing chair to see what was up. Turning round, i saw John Kirtis look slightly worried as he pressed all the shuttle's main engine's buttons. Something was up.

"Whats wrong?" i called to him. It had only been about 20 minutes, what could possible be wrong.....its not like we've reached Earth?

He continued pressing more and more switches as he replied, "Your idiotic brain switched on the hyper speed, we're about to hit Earth in less than 2 minutes!" he screeched out the last bit.

Looks like he's back to his normal Asshole mode. Hmm, i guess i preferred it compared to the Flirty setting.Coming back to reality i thought: OH CRAP! How could i have been this....this....MENTAL?

I ran to him and shoved him with my hip. In less than a minute i had turned off the hyper speed, looks like he had forgotten his training in the 5 weeks off for holidays after graduation. Tut tut tut.

Before i knew it, we were going to land in Virginia, Mystic Falls, in about.....30 seconds. I saw the big green-yellowish button and i stabbed it with my fist. Auto-pilot on. We were....we were saved. I smiled even though i had run out of time to research my new location. 

"Well, that was impressive" John complimented me.

I grinned, "Thanks. Looks like we better get seated, we'd break into the Earth's atmosphere anytime now. That parts always the shakiest apparantly!" and with that me and John sat on opposite ends of the white shuttle. By opposite ends we were embarrassingly 4 spaces away from each other. Yeah, this shuttle was very small. Aslong as it got me to Earth, i was fine.

I looked down and took a deep breath after the panic of the shuttle's almost crash.

But i wasn't given even a single moment to rest, when John shouted to me giddily, "Hey, Ava, thats you! You never told me you'd been to Earth before!".

What....what the hell was he talking about? I looked up from staring at the white painted sleek floor to see the my virtual tablet still online. I must've swiped it but not closed it. On the screen i saw SUPERGOOGLE still on, but i now knew what my swiping hand had caused. The category was on Images.

Images of Mystic Falls, Viriginia.

 I saw small images, large images, but the one that stuck out to both me and John Kiritis was the one of a sign saying Mystic Falls and infront of it we saw three people:

Two boys and one girl. One girl.

She

had

my 

FACE!

As Father Daniels would sometimes say:

WTF

WHAT

THE

FISH!!!!!!
