The shuttle came and was about to depart back to Earth as scheduled. Benji and Gray had snuck on and prepared to leave. Naturally, humans were not to ride on supply ships unless it was super valuable cargo that needed protection, such as medicines and other supplies. Gray smirked as he entered an empty box. Benji followed and sighed again. "I can't believe you talked me into this." Gray chuckled then was silent. "Sh... We're boxes. Boxes don't talk." he said, and heard the inspector checking the ship. When they heard the cargo bay door close, Gray knew it wouldn't be long before they would be sent to the Earth below. Benji braced himself and held his glasses. As the ship lurched towards the earth, he felt nauseated and heard Gray hollering of amusement.
Gray was silent as it was apparent the first layer of fuels was separated and they propelled faster. Benji grabbed a bag and vomitted in it. "Gross...." Gray shushed Benji again, reminding him that boxes don't complain. As Benji tried to get used to the travelling, he felt a strong pull and a jolt. "We must be on Earth!" Gray said ecstatically. "Yeah... Must" Benji said stoically.
