"Ok so we have to do our stuff on Sunday night, when it's less busy. Then we simply sneak into the boat, push the button and BOOM we are ready to get going."

"Ok simple enough." Naomi said.

"It will take some time to get to the ocean though. We have to go through the river that starts at Lake Ontario, passes through Canada, then spills into the ocean."

"What's the river called?" Vin asked.

"The Saint Lawrence River." I replied.

I pulled out the piece of thick bark that had the drawing of the boat on it. I stared at the detailed drawing for a while before deciding what to do. I thought that we should just plain and simply, climb in and head off on our journey. Sounds simple enough. Right? No. It would be hard but I had to get to Terra. I just hoped that Terra was safer than Earth. Because the people of Earth are always at war with each other. It's actually kind of pathetic. That wasn't the problem though. The problem was having two aliens and possibly a human, steal a boat and sail to the ocean.

"You guys can't keep me out!" I heard Mason yell from outside the fort.

I quickly grew a huge sunflower under Mason and pulled him up. Spike looked at Mason and barked a strange distorted bark. It was actually really cute.

"So you guys are stealing a boat?" Mason asked.

"How did he know!?!" Naomi whispered to me.

"I don't know! Ask him! He's your brother!" I replied.

"How" Naomi began, "How did you know we were going to steal a boat?"

"Well, I've been waiting out there for a while, trying to build up some courage to confront some very blood thirsty looking aliens that you like to call 'friends'" He put air quotes around the word friends.

Naomi looked appalled at the thought of Vin and I being 'blood thirsty' "They are NOT blood thirsty!" Naomi exclaimed.

"Then why do they have pointy teeth and claws?"

"Because that's what they're species looks like, you twit!"

"Well sorry I didn't know about some alien species that by the way no one, knows about!"

"Ummm if I may say something" Vin interjected, "We will only kill you if you become a nuisance."

Mason sat there with his mouth hanging open. I smiled viciously at Mason. He backed up, and almost fell out the window. Quickly, I grew vines to catch him before he fell and broke something important.

Naomi and Vin were laughing so hard, their faces were turning red. I tried not to laugh as I pulled Mason into the window and covered the other windows.

"So should we let Mason in on the plan?" Vin asked.

"Yeah I guess." I replied.

We quickly told Mason the plan. He decided that he wanted to join us, even though we were still unsure of letting Naomi in. He very rudely insisted that he and Naomi would both go on a deadly journey through space.

"NO!" Vin exclaimed as Naomi told me she wanted to go with us, "Naomi. I-I wouldn't be able to live with myself if you got hurt."

Naomi looked at Vin with sad eyes, "I won't get hurt Vin. I'll be by your side the WHOLE time!"

"Actually I believe this is my decision." I said, "And I think that Mason and Naomi should both come if they want to. It's their funeral."

"Go away." Vin said to Mason and I.

Mason and I slipped out of the fort, but still listened and watched through the window.

"Fine." Vin replied sternly.

Naomi smiled widely and kissed Vin.

"Yay! Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I love you SO much!" Naomi exclaimed.

"Uh... wait what! You... you said you loved me?"
