A Whole New World

We got out of the colorful building safe and sound. I brought my backpack with me to ensure that no one will touch it again. Her room is on the third floor. Everything that we walk through has colorful and unique designs embedded on it. Even the staircase and its handle have one.  The only thing that seems wrong is that we have met no one, as in nobody at all since we got out of her room until we head out of the building.

As we continue walking to the road, which I think is some sort of highway with beautiful and attractive colors as well. I saw a blushy red sky with thin clouds floating on it. The wind feels cool and it seems like winter is approaching soon. Meanwhile, she is fixing another two floating disks, this time they are much larger. Double the size of the one that holds the bowl of blue beans. And they are also made out of clear glass this time, unlike the metal material of the previous one. She is putting something like water into its rear tube. After the fueling sessions of both, she step into one and suddenly a circular neon light lit up as she landed both of her feet inside. Within a few seconds a handle suddenly pops out from the front part of the disk something similar to a scooter. The handle has three buttons. A yellow,a blue and a pink. So, basically this is something like a "floating scooter".

Do you want some assistance?

Oh, no need. I can manage.

I copy everything she did and I successfully ride the machine. She then press both of the yellow buttons from our handles and both of our disks releases a strand of glowing metal and attached each other from end to end. Now, our vehicles are connected and in sync. The individual handles also extends and gets attached to each other. So I think she is synching the two disks so we can go together at same speed. She press the blue button and the vehicle releases something like a steering wheel but only to her side. The vehicle also started to move at medium pace. As she started to maneuver, I pay attention to the surroundings. There are even more buildings along the highway. Everything is colorful. You cannot see any white nor any black. Each of the buildings has its own design and shape. There are also signages at the side of the road. As usual, these signages have symbols that cannot be understood or comprehended.

I will not drive in fast speed. I am very sure you will not like it.

Thanks for the concern.

Stop pretending that it is comfortable. Drop all the questions you have. I have all my time to answer each one of them.

Uhmmmm ... ... ... What is this pink button in the handle for? -After I asked, she look at me at a very bad way.

SERIOUSLY!? I do not know if I will laugh or if I will be irritated with what you said. LOOK, Right now you are with someone or something that has a different skin color and skin texture from you. Has a different ears. You are seeing everything that is unique in shape, structure, and colors. You are also seeing symbols and patterns that I bet you have never seen in your whole life. Then you will just ask that!? Well, to answer your question though ... that pink button is pressed if you want to go in a faster speed!

I just found myself scratching my head after she drop those words. Yup, she is right. That question is really unnecessary and definitely "dumb".

Ok, fine.

I take a deep breath and collect up all my courage amd started to think more rationally.

Where am I? Why am I here? What are you? Where is m-- She suddenly interupts me.

Wait, hang on. Yes, I said drop all your questions. But please drop it one by one. Ok?

Ok.

So the first question is "where are you?" This is the best translation that I can give in a manner where you will still understand. So, you are currently in a planet called Szxuveekiex.

What? ... Planet Szzusjsj...? I did not get that.

Szxuveekiex. A planet in the "Vldinaer" galaxy or from your perspective, it is called The Milky Way.

Szxu..vee...kie..x?

Yes. And the people living in this planet or for a better example. "We" who lives in this planet are called Szxuveeks. Anyways, can I ask a question?

Yes. Go on.

I know that you call yourselves as human beings. But I do not want to call you Human. I want to give you another name. May I call you an Earthling. Is that fine?

If that is what you're comfortable with. Sure.

Ok so your second question is "why are you here?". You are here for a very special mission. And you will know that later. Third, "What are we?". We are the Szxuveeks, the intelligent species living in this planet for over 2 Billion years.

As she is explaining, I noticed a small red circular object lighting in the sky. It resembles our sun because it luminates everything on this planet right now. The only difference is that its light is more warmer in color than the normal sunrays we have on Earth.

Anymore questions?

Uhmm, What is that celestial object?

Oh, we call that Bxzansi. That is the star where this planet revolves. That is one of the major source of life and light in this planet. I think if I am not wrong that is like your "Sun" in your planet. Next question.

Do you really think that we humans or Earthlings cannot understand your language?

@#$^_€£¥)!!●○■•■《☆°♤♡•♧}|{>• -As she speak and answer, my ears started to cry. What sound is that? It is indescribable as its writting counterpart.

Well ... ... Thank you very much ... for the effort of adjusting ... and for learning my language.

There should always be one that will adjust because what will be the point of meeting up, if we cannot go through any sensible conversation? Actually, this whole thing is a big gamble. This is a mission with uncertainty and very low percentage of success. My set goal is like a punch to the moon. But look, who would have thought that you will bring books and stuffs that I can learn and adapt to. Looks like the universe is with us, this time. Oh, Enough for the questions first, Now we are in our point of destination.

She pull off the floating vehicle towards the sidewalk in front of a small colorful place. We stopped at a very fancy restaurant place. I am not really sure if its a restaurant, though. But before we leave her room, she said that if I do not want the food she prepared, I should follow her. So, I supposed that we will go to a place where there are foods. The door and the roof of the place is in a very indistinct shape. The different shade of colors are bursting throughout every surface of its wall. I think if ever this is a restaurant or something like a fastfood place, this will be the fanciest and most colorful place to eat ever.

Where are we?

This is something like a restaurant. Let's go inside and find something that will suit your eyes and tastebuds.
