Dreams do come true

Chapter 32

138 days to Earth

Maggie loved space, and she loved this crew. She was glad things with Alex were great. She had Nia and Lena, and she also had Sam and Kara, even though they weren't as close. They all had become a family. She could live forever traveling to new planets with these women.

At that particular moment, though, Maggie just wanted to pee. Like, really wanted to pee. Which was a problem because when she entered the stall she saw a red light. It indicated the toilet wasn't working. She tried to open the valve anyway but nothing happened, it was supposed to suction to take the urine to the recycling equipment.

"Luthor!"

If Lena was surprised to hear Maggie's scream from inside the stall, she didn't say anything, she just got near and asked, "What is it?"

"It's not working." Maggie floated out so Lena could go in. She saw Alex and Sam had also come to see what happened and they were trying not to laugh at Maggie's face.

"I really need to go, it's not funny."

"It's not. It might be if you have to end up peeing somewhere else, though."

Alex was just trying to distract her. Maggie knew that and she appreciated it.

"That won't be funny for anyone actually."

"Right? Thank you, Arias."

"The oven is broken, ladies!" Nia's voice got to them before she did.

"What?!" The four of them said in unison.

"What's happening here?"

"The toilet is broken."

Kara was suddenly there too. "I can live with a broken toilet, I draw the line at the oven." Alex rolled her eyes at her sister.

"We're all very shocked to hear you say that."

Lena finally came out of the stall. "I have no idea what's going on but it can't be a coincidence. We need to talk to Houston."

"God, that will take a lot of minutes!" Maggie was really trying to keep it together, she really was.

"Okay. Supergirl, Luthor, go talk to Houston. Reign, go check the oven while Dreamer keeps checking the toilet. I'll read the manuals to see if we're forgetting something. Sawyer, try not to leave a giant ball of urine floating around."

It took them thirty minutes to know what was wrong and twenty more to fix the toilet. Maggie had been thirty seconds away from using a few bags and towels. It turned out it was a coincidence, or at least the fact that they found out almost at the same time.

They couldn't believe the luck they were having, they could only hope the rest of the trip was better.

When Maggie was finally done doing her thing, she began helping with the oven while a very worried Kara supervised.

These incidents didn't change her mind about space, but they did make her appreciate some things from Earth.
