Andy Alien Space Chronicles

Andy Alien Mission #1 Planet Emo (Part 3)

The festival was very lively with people dancing, shopping, or just having fun all around. Steven clung close to me because he hated big crowds.

Susan noticed this and also decided to stay near me. I wasn't sure why. Maybe the punk style makes her nervous since she's never experienced stuff like this before.

"Andy! Look there's cotton candy. It's your favorite!" Steven said while pointing it out.

"You're right! Oh my gosh, I haven't had it in so long!" I said. Steven left to go get me some and Lunar grabbed Susan to go check out the native Marzian desserts.

It was just me and Taila left, we decided to sit down on a bench nearby. She always had a calm expression on her face, except this time I found her with a worried expression. She impatiently checked her intergalactic pager.

"Are you waiting for the Queen's response?" I asked.

"Yes, it appears she's still in a bad mood."

"So, how did you become the Queen's assistant?"

"Well, I was her personal maid when she was younger. We both grew up together, she was very kind and timid as a kid. It was until she and Kocho had a nasty fight."

"Well, I think deep down she's still the timid and kind girl. I just feel like whatever happened between Queen Mercuria and Queen Kocho will restore her old self, once it's dealt with."

"To be honest when you guys arrived. I hoped you three would be able to convince Her Majesty, but just as I knew she wouldn't listen. Well, that's enough talking about her let's dance!" She said taking my hand and dragging me to the middle of a mosh pit. It was obvious she wanted to distract herself from the situation at hand.

We laughed and danced as the music blasted in our ears, all different aliens grouped together and having the time of their lives!

"Andy here's your cotton candy, I got your favorite flavor margle berry." Steven said while feeding me the cotton candy. Taila gave us a smirking look.

"Thanks, Steven! C'mon, let's dance." I grabbed his free hand and we danced and ate cotton candy.

Lunar and Susan came back and Susan joined me and Steven dancing.

"Andy follow me to the games," Susan said. I waved Steven to continue dancing. Maybe it will help his social anxiety because he started being comfortable with Taila where they can talk leisurely.

Susan took me to a game stand Obviously Susan was really good at the games because of her athleticism.

"Look, there's a little dragglebug plush!" I said, "I really wanted one when I was younger." For you earthlings, a dragglebug is a dragon + apple + bug.

"I can easily win it for you," Susan said while massaging her shoulders. The game was simple knock the cans and win the prize.

Except for Susan's first throw she missed, she looked a little embarrassed at me. I reassured her it was fine. Second, throw it hit the cans, but it bounced off and hit her flat in the face.

"Are you okay?" I asked Susan. I grabbed her face and pulled it closer for me to see. She quickly pushed me away, before getting all embarrassed. "You know, you don't have to get me the plush. Let's just get you some ice."

"Yeah maybe y-you're right," she said still too embarrassed to face me. I had never seen Susan so clumsy or nervous before, I guess emo people scare her. I told her to wait on a bench so I could grab something to ice her face before it bruised.
