The Troubled Galaxy

Chapter 13

... Minerva's dad! "So much for him not being here." Iris grumbled.

"How was I supposed to know he was going to walk in?"

"Didn't you hear Fred say: 'My old master is going to walk in'?" Iris asked.

"Not that I recall."

"Minerva, what are you doing here?" Minerva's dad asked.

"Totally not destroying and stealing your evil plans 😅." Minerva said.

"Minerva, what does lying break?"

"Your trust," Minerva mumbled, "Not that I should trust you anymore, seeming as you've turned evil."

"I'm not evil, I'm making a change!"

"Well, the space station said that you died when an asteroid hit your ship." Minerva said.

"Well they lied. Our family is special, you see your great great great grandmother was from this planet and that's why you didn't die when the asteroid hit your ship." Minerva's dad said.

"So your saying that I'm part alien?" Minerva asked

"We are not aliens, and I've been trying to ask you this for forever, your dad is William Aria?" Iris asked.

"My last name is Aria too, I was sure I told you that." Minerva responded.

"Now that I think of it, you did say your last name was Aria."

"Your so forgetful, what was the first word I said to you?"

"Was it 'yes'?"

"No, it was 'why'," Minerva said, "We have an important matter here. Do you think I should knock him out or use my taekwondo skills?"

"It would be great if you knocked him out, and then we make our big escape with Fred."

"Who's Fred?" William asked.

"Knock him out, quick!" Iris shouted.

"Oh, no you don't!" William said.

"Change of plans, escape on Fred!" Iris said.

"Fred, teleport us to the secret room in Iris' closet." Minerva commanded.

Then there was a whoosh and they disappeared.

(I got the question 'What does lying break?' and the answer "Your trust." from a TV show called Parallels.)
