Good Morning Space.

I woke up around 1:69 PM, it was a Saturday evening in UWA Voyager in sector 22469 north to 19076 east. I was greeted by my plain white futuristic room accompanied by grey bedsheets. I lifted the bed sheets from my body and I placed my feet on the cold, white floor. The space date was 6969 a.b.c and it was my 457th day on board the UWA Voyager. My birthday was last week and I had just turned the age of twenty-three, I was practically a year closer to death, and if not death by age then death by aliens. Anywho, I grumpily made my way towards the small 69x69 bathroom. I washed my face with my Mary Kay Facial Extra Smoothe Flower Extract face wash soap. After doing so, I grabbed the grey, bland towel near me and dabbed my face gently. I looked up to see my reflection in the oval mirror above the sink. All I could see was my light skinned toned face along with my brown swamp-water-like eyes. To add on, my full pink lips and blushing cheeks shown through as well, along with my mid-length light brown hair. And lastly, my angelic features such as my nose and chin highly complimented my eyes mostly, my beautifully made eyes—God, I was ugly. While silently judging my godly made looks I then heard a slight squeaking of metal... Like a small metallic hamster wheel spinning in the silence... I made my way out of the bathroom and towards a small table with a crate covered by a white sheet—I stole the white sheet from the captain when he asked me to "get rid of what is left" of Mrs Pepperson.— I lifted the blankets and I stared at the crate. There before my eyes was a tiny man, up to six inches tall, running on the metallic wheel I got for him at a discount of 25% off. I realised that I kind of forgot to feed him yesterday so I grabbed a bag of kibbles and opened the little gate to the crate. I grabbed the feeding cup. I poured in some food for him and placed it back in the crate. I sat on the floor, hugging my knees to my chest as I watched this magnificent tiny man crawl out of the wheel cautiously for his food.

His muscles flexed as he grabbed a grain of kibble between his two hands... Those hands... That murdered many other tiny aliens like himself... And has also murdered flies in my room when I ordered him to.

"I'm about to go, honey, give me a kiss?"

He didn't reply, instead, he lifted his gaze from his breakfast, a murderous look he gave me—God I love this man.

I smiled and stood up. I patted the crate and he jumped up by the noise, terrified. "Alright Beebii, I'll see you later after work."

I walked towards the sliding door and exited the room.

Today, like every day, I wore my grey uniform with my hair down. I was told multiple times to put my hair up for work and for fighting purposes but I never listened because I'm a rebel like that. Anywho, my position here in the UWA Voyager was to be an assistant(Basically a cleaning/xes slave. Jk, I basically help with the petty tasks. I'm not a xes slave for Jabba Da Hut like Princess Lea.)

I made my way towards the ship deck (The big deck.) and I was greeted by ship workers who were hurriedly walking around. I passed captain Denny who was currently busy watching the latest episode of MLFP(My Little Futuristic Pony.) I am supposed to deliver a message from commander Eilk, but I couldn't bother him while he was catching up the latest episode of MLFP! Instead of delivering the message as planned I just slipped it into my boot. I made my way out of the ship deck (The big deck.) by entering the elevator. As I waited for the sliding doors to close I noticed that Fock Logik was making his way towards the elevator. I really don't like to be in elevators with people, it's awkward because then I worry too much on how I should pose my body or I wonder if they could hear my sexy breathing. Anywho, I quickly pressed the "close doors" button rapidly but sadly he made it in just before the sliding doors closed. I tried to look cool by putting my elbow onto the non-existing bar that I thought was there. I lost my balance by the sudden surprise and made myself look like a complete idiot. Officer Fock Logik didn't seem to notice and once the elector reached to our destination he quickly got out.

I wonder what was with his problem.

. . .

I went into my room and kicked off my boots. I popped in my earbuds and played Shooting Stars by Bag Raiders(Don't look that up.). I laid in bed and rubbed my right hand over my face. I sighed and turned my head towards Luca's crate, my boyfriend's crate. He sat there in the hamster bedding staring at me, this time without a cold look.

"Hi pumpkin, did you miss meeee?"

He didn't answer, instead, he just kept staring at me. I couldn't blame him, yesterday he and I had gone through a fight about his living arrangements. He kept accusing me of stealing him from his home planet and then placing him to the cruel lifestyle that I made for him. He also didn't like how his home was a crate because it reminds him of an iron prison cell. To ease the anger in him I corrected him by telling him that the crate wasn't made from iron, it was made from steel. That didn't help him calm down.

"Luca, do you still love me? I'm sorry about yesterday baby. . . "

He scurried towards his water container and tapped it with his hand, signalling that his water is almost running out.

So I got up to retrieve his sippy cup thingy from his cage—I mean crate. I filled it up with water from the sink and attached it back to his crate.

He didn't move from his previous spot, instead, he continued to glare at me.

"Remember our wedding?" I said.

He rolled his eyes.

"It was nice, right? It was on the planet PALEAK and the stars were soooo pretty!"

It was true, the wedding location was amazing! But I know Luca didn't enjoy it as much as I did; he missed his home.

He didn't really propose to me actually.

He looked down at his feet for a moment and walked toward the right side of his crate. Putting his hands on the bars of the crate, he sighed.

I smiled and laughed. "Oh, Luca!"

I opened his crate, and although he resisted my hand at first he finally gave in as I grabbed him tightly. I pressed him against my cheek and kissed his face, my lips practically suffocating his face.

"I love you so much, Luca!"
