She is for me...

Chapter 2. New day and new problems. Or how to remove a huge alien ship.

"A new day for me was comparable to the discovery of something new, such as the discovery of a new planet. Of course, at first it was difficult to believe all this, but when I saw Him again, I immediately realized that all this was not a dream. Which I'm very happy about. This opportunity should not be missed. When in your life will you meet real extraterrestrial life? However, today was quite a busy day. Never in your life try to remove an extraterrestrial ship yourself. At the very least, hurt yourself."

POV/Lillian

— So, let's make everything clear.

The time is exactly 8 am. Thanks to the cuckoo clock that hangs in the living room right above the TV. A kettle is heating up in the kitchen, and in front of me, on a low, oval table, lies an empty plate that contained wheat porridge a couple of minutes ago. The already old, slightly shabby brown sofa creaked unpleasantly when I crossed my legs.

— Last night I encountered an alien who landed in my wheat field. This alien robot is currently in my barn. Crippled due to an unsuccessful landing... And I treated him yesterday. And she left it in the barn... And it's still there... Like a huge destroyed ship, — I said, stating the facts and remembering all yesterday's events. — And fortunately, my stew didn't burn yesterday.

...And silence. Only the pendulum of the clock smoothly sways from side to side, as if in time with the heart.

"To say that I am shocked is to say nothing. And I'm really shocked. Yesterday I was happy and almost danced in front of him, like a little child who received his favorite toy. And only now I calmed down and rationally realized what was happening. It is unknown why he came here. Maybe he intentionally flew to Earth, but something happened and he ended up crashing. Or maybe he's here completely by accident. And even though he is huge, and obviously stronger than me, he avoids me like dirt. And judging by his reactions, this guy is either quite cowardly or very cautious. More likely the latter."

I sighed heavily, as if from a long run, leaning my back against the wall of the sofa. I felt something under my T-shirt roll down. Reaching my hand in, I pulled out a small gold heart hanging on a silver chain. Something pleasant, and at the same time sharp, pierced my heart.

"Yes... If I took on this, then I need to see it through to the end."

Putting it back under my T-shirt and gathering my courage, I walked towards the exit, braiding my hair into a high ponytail along the way. It's going to be a tough day and we need to be fully prepared for it. It's still so hot outside today. Just so as not to burn out. And to keep the top of my head from getting hot, I put on my favorite bright red cap with a red letter "A" in the center with a white halo circling the top. The symbol of the baseball team is the «Los Angeles Angel». Yes... There was a time when we went to matches. You will never forget the first sensations.

I put the bunch of keys in the pocket of my yellow shorts and went outside. The sun is blinding and just deadly hot. Now it's probably 73.4 degrees, no less. And there's not even any wind, which is pretty bad. Under such heat, my wheat will simply dry out. But luckily my irrigation system does its job well. That's just...

— This huge colossus ruined almost a third of my field, including the irrigation system... — I said, staring displeasedly at the dark ship, like a spot on white clothes, sparkling in the sun. — Well... I hope that at least in the remaining places it will work. Otherwise, goodbye my wheat.

I headed towards the barn. It seems to be still intact and standing in place. But it is unknown what is happening inside now... I hope that what I saw will not make me regret what I did. And yet, when I began to approach the barn, I didn't hear any noise inside, and this alarmed me more. Maybe... I still imagined all this? I'll open it and there won't be anyone inside?
