Minke was jolted awake. Incredulous, he stared around to find himself at home again. Then he caught sight of Minka. "Why didn't you save me? Where did you go?" screamed Minke.

"The packs move by themselves. I programmed them beforehand. I couldn't come back if I tried!" said Minka.

"But still!" cried Minke, but he could think of nothing to say. "We've got to get petrol and get out of here! Or else the Ninjas will get back at us!"

Minka sighed. "You know that's impossible, Minke. There is no petrol on this planet. Lop Lopians have searched for centuries!"

"That's not true!" said Minke excitiedly. "The green guy said-"

"Are you saying that I'm lying?" asked Minka menacingly.

"No, but-" Minke started.

"You will not put false hopes into my head, and you can forget about going to Earth. We will never be able to get back! NEVER!"

Minke watched as Minka walked out of the door and into the street. "Well, she can go." he thought angrily. "I don't care."

Minka was walking along, surrounded by one of her black clouds again, and she grumbled along to herself. "Why does Minke have to raise my hopes now? Is this some kind of joke?!" Minka kept up her angry walk. Meanwhile, Minke was doing something else...

"That Minka! Always thinking of herself! You know what? I'll go find petrol myself!" Minke muttered. He packed a bag full of provisions to last a month and grabbed a few large bottles. Minke then loaded them into a huge carlike thing. "I think I might head towards those cliff things..." said Minke, looking at a map. Minke closed the map. "All set. Let's go." He grimaced as he poured in the ashes. Then, making sure Minka wasn't anywhere near, Minke drove his vehicle out the door and out towards the cliffs.

P.S: sorry about the boring chapter! I'll try to make the next one more exciting!
