Chapter Twenty: Fixing The Ship & Saying Goodbye

Malia's Pov

We've been on the mothership for hours, we've been doing nothing but work.

We have to get the ship powered up in order for the aliens to get back in space so they can travel to Utopia.

Everyone was either in partners or groups. Anything that could help get this done faster.

A-li and A-lan were working together.

A-spen and Willa were working together.

Wyatt, Bonzo, Bucky and Eliza were working together.

I, of course, was with Elena.

Under different circumstances, I would've been working with Wyatt.

But, given where we are now, and the fact that I can hardly stand being near him without hurting him, it's better that we're not working together.

Moving on from that, I really didn't mind working with Elena.

She is my friend and we've gotten along really well, despite the fact that we just met yesterday.

While connecting some of the wires together, our hands brushed against each others, causing me to blush.

Elena noticed, she smirked and winked at me before going back to what she was doing.

I internally cursed myself before getting back to work. I had to stay on task.

When we were done we met up with the others. Luckily, they were all done with their parts as well.

A-lan was explaining what has to be done in order to get the mothership working again.

"Only our people can connect to the ship's stardust reactor. But unfortunately, the moonstone's power is lethal to us" A-lan explained.

I bit my lip and glanced at the others.

I turned back to A-lan, only to see him looking at Addison.

"But your being half human might just work. You'll be a living bridge" A-lan said.

"Addison can do it" Willa spoke up.

"Yes. She's an alien" A-spen nodded.

"And a cheerleader" Bree and I smiled.

"And apart of our pack" Wyatt smiled.

Addison smiled at all of us before her eyes landed onto Zed.

"You were born for this" Zed nodded.

Addison nodded before turning to A-lan. He quickly handed her one side of the adapter before moving away.

Addison turned to A-li. She took a hold of the other side of the adapter as A-li quickly moved out of the way.

All of a sudden electricity formed around the adapters as they began crackling.

A-li yelped and stumbled backwards. A-lan quickly caught her before she could fall.

The ground began moving, causing everyone to yell as they covered their faces with their arms.

Zed held onto Wynter while I surprisingly saw Willa holding onto A-spen.

I ended up tripping on something, causing me to yell as I began falling to the ground.

"Malia!" Wyatt yelled.

He tried running towards me, trying to catch me, only for his knees to buckle and his the ground.

Fortunately, Elena lunged forward and wrapped her arms around me, keeping me close as she refused to let me go.
