Lost Mission

Julian woke up and rubbed his eyes. He walked out of his room, the air hitting his face. Walking over to a seat near Chris, he sat down.

"Hey, look. I'm sorry. For being overprotective and all.." Chris sighed.
"It's fine.. I was just overwhelmed."

Chris got up and grabbed his keys. "I'm going out to the store, we need milk."
"The store is a while away from here though-"
"I know. I'll be back soon."

Without giving Julian the chance to state what he wanted, Chris walked out the door and shut it behind him. He still seemed kind of pissy from Julian trusting someone so quickly without question.

"Hello." DD smiled at Julian, hunched over with relaxed eyes. "Good morning."
"Where's uh, where's the other guy?"
"Chris? He just left. He's going to the store."

DD nodded, sitting down next to Julian.
"What do humans do on earth?"
"Lots of things.. mainly eat, sleep, have kids, pay taxes.."
"What do you do for fun?"
"Uh.. there's not much to do since we're out camping, but we can dance, listen to music, and stuff like that."
"I have no idea of what you're talking about."

Julian sighed, sitting up. He slid on some sandals and looked out the window. "How about we go outside? It's nice today." DD nodded. Julian grabbed his phone and went out.

The sun glared in DingDong's eyes, and the hot air blew into his face. Everything looked shiny, the grass was a nice green, the sky was a faded blue, and there were even flowers growing. Julian pulled his phone out of his pocket.

"What is that? A weapon?" DD backed up from Julian. "Haha, this is a phone. There's music on here, too. I'll play some." He put on a song and DD's ears began to sway.

"I like that."
"The song?"
"Yeah. Can you show me some more songs?"

Julian and DD ended up staying outside for the time that Chris was gone. They listened to music and Julian showed DD a few bugs and animals.

"Hey, look, DD!" Julian opened his hands and revealed a bumpy creature.
"What is it..?"
"A toad! Wanna hold em?"
"Yeah!"

DD took the toad in his hands, intrigued by the way it looked. "Why is it.. wet?" Julian started wheezing.
"Julian! Juuulian!"
"Why is it wet?!"

He started to speak through his laughter. "It's peeing!" DD dropped the toad and yelled, wiping his hands off on Julian's shirt.
"Don't wipe the pee on my shirt! And look, you hurt 'em!" DD scrambled to the ground and picked the toad back up, practically hugging it.
"I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I didn't mean to hurt you!"

Julian could feel a smile skimming across his face as he watched DingDong hug the frog. He placed a hand on DD's shoulder. "Hey, the toad is okay." DD bent down to let it go and looked at Julian.

"Should we head back now?"
"Yeah. Let's go."

Julian started doodling on his tablet while DD sat on the couch, waiting for Chris to come back. Julian turned around, seeing a figure behind him.

"What are you making?"
"Oh-- it's you!.." DD examined the screen and a smile brewed on his face. "Wow, that looks really cool! I like the pattern on the eyes.."

Julian gave a slime to DingDong as he continued complimenting his art. Julian looked over to the door to see that Chris was back.

"Chris, why did it take you so long to get milk?"
"I wasn't just getting milk, dummy. I got a few groceries, and I stopped at a different store to find some stuff for.. uh... DD."

Chris held up the bags that had clothes in them. "The line was longer than I expected it to be and my phone died, but here... these are for you."

DD took the bag from Chris, looking through it. There were a pair of red sneakers, jeans, and two shirts. "I didn't know what size you wore, so I just--"

As Chris was talking, he was cut off by DingDong hugging him. "Thank you..!"
"Hey, it's no problem." Chris smiled.

A week had passed and DD learned a lot about Julian and Chris, and even more about earth. It was late at night, and DD couldn't remember why he'd came to earth in the first place. He went out to his crashed ship, shuffling through stuff. He saw a note flashing in the ship, reading it in his mind.

Find species called "human" and press the button in your ship to return back. We will take the human and your mission will be over.

He grabbed his ray gun and loaded it, walking back in the dark. Opening the door to the trailor, he looked at Julian who fell asleep on the uncomfortable couch.

"I'm so sorry.." The ray gun charged slowly sending off electricity in the process. DingDong looked back to everything he had done on earth and everything Julian had done for him and tears came streaming out of his eyes. A thought hit him fast, and he knew this isn't what he wanted.

DD was tackled to the ground in a flash, the ray gun going off and shooting the roof of the trailor. A force knocked the gun out of him hand and pinned him down hard, the noise woke up Julian.

"I KNEW IT! We shouldn't have trusted you so easily! You've been plotting to kill us this whole time!" Julian jumped up off the couch and went off to the side, away from the two. DingDong struggled trying to get Chris off of him.

"No, NO! This isn't-- I didn't.. I was never trying to hurt either of you! My job was to come here and bring one of you back, I accepted it to get free from my planet! I.. I... Julian! You believe me, right?!"

Julian stared at DD with weary eyes. He looked down and backed up, afraid of what DingDong was going to do.

"Julian...-" DD took a punch in the jaw from Chris, still struggling to get up.
"Please, Chris. I don't wanna hurt you. I don't wanna fight."
Another fist flew across DD's face and his vision blurred. Julian looked up to see what was going on and ran over to try and hold Chris back. "CHRIS! DON'T HURT HIM!"
"HE WAS TRYING TO KILL YOU! HE DOESN'T CARE ABOUT US, JULIAN! Can't.. can't you see?! Look at him!"

DingDong shook his head, breathing heavily. He slid out of Chris's grasp and ran out the door, running as far as he could. He couldn't go back there, and he couldn't turn to anyone for help, he was an alien. Just someone trying to complete their mission.

He was lost.

(A/N) SORry this was rushy. I'm too impatient to write stuff up to the angsty parts, so I just skipped to the point. I also didn't check over this so feel free to request for me to fix something ::^)
