  Echo put her face against the window as the planet got closer and closer. She saw the planet. It was pink, yet pretty. She landed on the planet and opened the door. She closed the door and ran back inside for space gear just in case. When she got outside with her gear on she couldn't breath, so she had to run back inside to take off her gear. Echo took one step on the planet and it turned dark. The pink was gone. It was all just darkness. That is, it was for a few seconds. Echo took a step back. "Wow..." she thought aloud. The planet was black with silver trees, red grass, and beautiful floating lights. Echo wandered the sidewalks and roads. She kept walking looking closely at shops and homes. Everything was black. Not a single living thing remained. The trees weren't even real... The grass was dead... "Meow" something purred. Echo turned around and saw a little cat. She kneeled down to see it's collar. It read, Lea. Echo told the cat to stay and she continued walking. She turned around to see the Lea following her. "Stay!" Echo commanded. She continued walking. The cat wouldn't stay and kept walking after her. "Fine... I guess I do need some company." Echo laughed picking up Lea. 

  Echo stopped breathing for a second when she saw a mailbox that read, Echo Wave 42439 Milky Dr. She walked looked up and saw a house. It was huge! And it was hers! A mansion for herself. She walked inside and walked around. She had a home for herself and Lea. But what will she do now? Echo thought for a minute. Her stuff!  She ran back to her ship and touched a box. It teleported to her house. "Huh?" Echo asked herself. She shrugged it off and touched the others. The last one brought her home as well. Echo would be the happiest person ever if she had a friend there. A friend other than Lea. Echo went upstairs and chose to sleep in the second biggest room. She went to get ready for bed in the bathroom when she saw something she couldn't believe... She was gray. She was wearing a dark brown hoodie and black leggings with white polka dots. She was also wearing black converse with white laces. She went to bed hoping it would go away in the morning. That she was still at Starr's home in Galaxia having a bad dream. 

  It wasn't a dream. No mater how many times she pinched herself, everything was the same. For days Echo cried herself to sleep. She knew she was stuck her because she attempted to fly out but she couldn't leave. She always thanked Starr for putting a spell on all the ingredients so they were unlimited. Otherwise she'd be dead already. Echo ate a lot of food when she cried. It reminded her of Starr. Her small silver ring Jake got her for her birthday last year reminded her of him. How he would hold her in his arms when she was sad. When she was angry at anyone, including him, he would comfort her. Echo missed Jake. She remembered the day he put the ring on her. Echo never thought it was a proposal ring and she knew it wasn't. Did Jake know this day would come? She hoped not. Otherwise he would've been there. He would have gone with her. Right? Echo shook the thoughts out of her head. 

  One day when she looked through her kitchen, she found a glass sphere. She was thinking of Starr when she rubbed the dust off with her sleeve. It showed Starr hanging out at home crying. Echo did't want to see that so she thought of Jake. She rubbed the sphere again. She saw Jake walking around the lake holding another girl's hand. Echo knew the girl. That was her enemy. Her name was Spirit. She had light blue hair and she always eyed Jake. Echo cried when Spirit leaned in. Spirit  blew dust in Jake's face and Jake kissed her. "Traitor! Backstabber! Moron! Idiot!" Echo screamed. (She screamed other words but I probably shouldn't type them) That night Echo didn't this about her friends. She thought about Lenrasi. But she cried to sleep that night because for the first time, she realized... What if she killed everyone here?
