"It's...gone..." Lilly said in a low, sad voice.
"Yes...It Is... -- Her mom looks down at her -- but... We're gonna find a new place to stay -- she wipes the tears from her eyes, then kneels down and wipes Lilly's tears -- it's gonna be better -- she sniffs -- and beautiful, and we'll go on little adventures... -- Lilly smiles weakly -- and we'll be safe there..."
Her mom smiles weakly too.
"Alright... let's go explore shall we?" Says Lilly's mom trying to find a way to keep their minds off things.
She takes Lilly's hand and their room door slides open.
Lilly notices her hologram at one of the sides of the door, she attempts to tap her fingers on it's shoulder but her fingers just go through it.
She looks at it confused before walking along with her mother.
They stop at the middle of the corridor and her mom looks around.
"Okay, where should we go?" Lilly's mom looks down at her.
"Um... Oh! -- Lilly Points To A Sign Saying "Restaurant" Showing them the direction to go with an arrow -- There!"
"Okay, let's say we get soom food!" Her mom says as she laughs.
"Nah, to be honest I'm only going there in hopes they have... -- Lilly lets go of her mom's hand and runs ahead -- COFFEE!!!!!!"
They both laugh as Lilly's mom chases after Lilly.
After a little while of following the signs, they finally make it to the restaurant.
"We're here!" Lilly says jumping with her hands in the air excitedly.
She quickly runs over to a table and sits on a seat, she rests back leaning her head on the cushion behind her.
"This is so COMFY!" She says as she relaxes on the chair.
She closes her eyes and pretends to snore as her mom aproaches.
"Looks like you'll be needing that coffee." Her mom says as she sits down on the luxurious chair and begins to relax, closing her eyes also.
"Wakey, Wakey." Says an automated voice as Lilly's and her mom's eyes dart open.
"Ah!" They both scream as they look over at a hologram that is being projected from a fluttering drone.
"Sorry if I frightened you, I have sensed a spike in your fearful emotions."
"Oh, it's okay. We were just admiring these comfy chairs." Says Lilly's mom as she looks down at here round wooden chair.
"Ah, yes, they are the very finest chairs for our passangers, the very finest guests."
Lilly and her mom smile at eachother as they relax on their chairs.
"Would you like anything?" Says the hologram as it look at Lilly and her mom.
"Um yes, I'd like a latte with cream on top with a sprinkle of chocolate dust, and a slice of chocolate cake." Says Lilly.
"Good choice, and you?" The hologram looks at Lilly's mom.
"I'll have the same, please."
"Of course, your orders will be ready soon."
"Wait... don't we need to pay?" Says Lilly's mom looking up at the hologram confused.
"There is no need to pay, it is our honour to serve are passengers for free."
"Well, thank you." Says Lilly's mom smiling.
"Your welcome, I will be back with your orders shortly."
The drone projecting the hologram flutters off.
Soon it is back with Lilly's and her mom's orders and they spend the rest of the night enjoying delicious food from the luxurious restaurant.
Later
"Ugh... I'm stuffed" Says Lilly's mom.
"I... can't... walk..." Says Lilly as her and her mom walk slowly back to their room.
When they finally make it they collapse onto their beds, they put their soft covers over them, keeping them warm.
They soon fall asleep in their own luxurious beds.
