Nola walked in front of Garfield and Uriah as the three of them approached the Vessel International Space Station. Garfield and Uriah were several meters behind, Uriah followed Garfield's eyes.
"Oh, you've got to be kidding me?" Uriah whispered. "That's heda's sister."
"All the more reason to check out her ass," Garfield laughed. "C'mon it's not like you've never-"
"No." Uriah said firmly. "Unlike you, I respect her."
"But if she wasn't heda's sister..."
Uriah gulped. "Never."
"But you had to think about it." Garfield pointed out and climbed up on a rock, "Nola, wait."
She turned around and looked up at him.
"You'll get a better view of our new additions." He said.
She rested her shoulders, "That's the most intelligent thing you've said all day." She climbed along the rock and Garfield held out his hand and she took hold of it, lifting her up.
"Milady," he mocked.
She rolled her eyes and pointed her attention towards the Vessel. "They haven't left yet."
"That's because they banished all of them at twilight," they turned around to see Ace strutting towards them as she wrapped her blonde hair up with string as she approached them.
Garfield jumped down from the nine foot tall rock in front of her. "What are you doing here Ace?"
"Heda's orders." She replied. "You didn't really thing he'd leave you as his sister's guard, did you?"
"Well I'm his second, so yeah." he folded his arms across his chest. "You're just Hoover's translator."
She rolled her eyes, "Gar-"
"How do you know?" Uriah interrupted her. "About the twilight thing."
"Oh Uriah, you're not the only one who's snuck onto the Vessel."
"Is that right?" Nola asked.
"Nola I-"
"Uriah, please, we've all done it." Ace interrupted and pushed Garfield out of her way to get to him. She lent her shoulder against the rock and smiled. Uriah looked at her, eye-level, he was about her height. She had freckles that covered her face and a smile that could burn his hearts into ash. "I've seen you with Silly Rabbit."
"Keep her out of this." He warned and took a step closer to Ace.
"Chilla Yuria, I need you to sneak in and get me some things." She requested.
"I can't anymore, Ace." He admitted.
She scoffed, "And why not."
"Shhh!" Nola shushed and slid off the rock. "They're coming our way."
The airlock chamber doors opened and to the under twenty-ones, it was either freedom or a death sentence. Beatrix was the first to jump out of the Vessel and onto the ground. She didn't wait for the others, as a born Terra, she knew where she needed to be.
