Space Travel Adventure

Chapter 8

During the night, I was in a deep sleep until I heard a knock on the door. I didn't want to deal with anyone right now, but I don't have a choice. I answered the door and it was Krystal, holding a tray of a plate of spaghetti with meatballs and some soda.

"Sorry to bother you, but you do need nutrition after all that." Krystal says as she gives me the tray.

I took the tray and sat down. I noticed she didn't leave since she wanted to open up towards me.

"Look, I want to apologize about what happened. We didn't mean to take you away from your home." Krystal explained as she sat next to me on the couch.

"Why didn't you just let me go? I wouldn't say a word about all that." I asked.

"I believe you, but we couldn't risk our chance of coexisting with your kind. And I know my team jumped the gun and went after you while they were looking for me in your town. Loona, Dasha, and Nika didn't mean to ruin your life. They were just following orders and doing their jobs for our empress of Furtopia." Krystal explains as she tries to soothe the emotions inside my mind with her telepathic powers.

I couldn't blame them for what they did, it just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. And I couldn't run away from this at all. Krystal grabbed my hand and tried to help me open up to her.

"Stan, even though we started off on the wrong foot, I do want to know you as a friend. Can you open up to me?" She asked.

"I guess." I answered.

"Good. So, what do you like doing in the future?"

"I think you already know that, and besides I don't have a dream or a goal in my life anymore." I answered

"You do coding and programming right?" She asked with a smirk.

I guess I can't drop out of the conversation anymore. I just have to trust her and talk to her even if she can read my mind, and feel my emotions inside me.

"Well, yes since I want to be a videogame designer. Been improving on how to do coding and programming on projects that I have been working on my computer." I explained.

"I knew about your projects, they are interesting games that you made on your computer." She complimented me.

"Thanks. They were my high school projects before I graduated. But they weren't good enough as proof to the administrators of the college I wanted to go to." I explained.

"The administrator is wrong about you. You are good at what you're doing." Krystal explains.

"He won't accept me just because I didn't do so well in my Freshman and Sophomore years in my coding classes. Regardless, I did very well in my Junior and Senior year." I explained.

"That's really wrong on their part. You deserve to go to Texas Tech college." Krystal says in disbelief.

"It's out of my hands now. I sent three applications, and they won't let me do another. But it doesn't even matter now." I said while I started eating.

"Maybe we can make it up to you sometime later." Krystal suggested.

"You don't have to pity me." I said.

"Still, you deserve to have a brighter future." Krystal suggested.

"It's too late anyway. What are you planning to do with me anyway?" I asked.

"The empress is planning on enrolling you to the UFE army with us since she wanted a human to be part of it to encourage a coexistence experimentation. You are going to be on our squad." Krystal explains.
