Together In Space

Wow.

A/n aw yeah now shit's starting to happen. Also damn you Cassini for not paying attention to your sad Boi.

Cassini's pov

Wow.
It has been so long since I've talked to Huygens. I've been so wrapped up in my work. Not like I have forgotten about him... I have been thinking about him on Titan. Picking up a signal from my antenna from Houston to him, he sounded so lonely, perhaps I really have been neglecting him. I thought he would have remembered to contact me. But then I remember- he thinks I don't care anymore.
I've received only the worst news from Houston- my days as a Saturn probe are ending- my fuel source is very low. I will be making closer orbits in less than a month- and then I will never see Huygens again.
And then I will die.
Wow.
Buddy.
He's going to be alone by himself- nothing to transmit. Nobody to talk to.
And hell, I haven't been the best to talk to lately.
These close orbits are going to be fascinating. But the thought of leaving Huygens is really going to put quite the damper on the good time. Oh, how I wish he was still at my side, like those days long ago... twelve whole years ago.
We got here twelve years ago. Boy, it sure doesn't seem that long. When buddy arrived on Titan, he was so scared, but I did some Titan orbits in secret just to be with him- let's hope NASA doesn't find out or we'll all be in hot water.
After those exciting orbits, I'm going to fatefully plunge into Saturn's toxic atmosphere and burn up.
Fun.
I am not feeling any self pity nor sadness for my end. All I feel bad for is Huygens. I acknowledge that I'm all he has. And I kind of take pride in that.
Out of all the spacecrafts launched, he loves me the most.
And I love him the most.
Well, now I AM sad.
And I know how Huygens felt when he had to tell me he wasn't coming to Saturn with me.
But we still made it ok.
How am I going to name my death ok? Send him my magnetometer and say, "Forever yours, here's my magnetometer because the rest of me is dead?" So he cam be reminded of his loneliness every day?
I'm going to leave my love behind.
I need to make the most of my month and pray he doesn't already know.
When I tune in to his database, he hasn't completed commands or even moved in three days. He really is lonely. And I thought space was worry-free guarantee. I'll need my money back.
While I'm thinking about losing my buddy, I decide I really should be making the most of our time. I use spare fuel to move closer to our communication window. There's an odd formation of rocks on Titan. I use my microscope-
Five hundred rocks with my name on it.
Ouch.
